Relax on the riverbank.

Your tranquil Cumbrian Retreat,

Just for grown ups.

Tranquil riverbank location

If you prefer "Small"  "Adult Only" tranquil touring parks, my solely owned and managed Caravan Park is just for you.

Adjacent the unspoilt,
undiscovered by many,
Northern Fells of the Lake District

The site is located only 5 minutes drive from the unique walking and cycling oppertunities of the un-spoilt, unrivalled solitude of the Northern Fells of the Lake District.
Cherish the thought of being able to relax alongside a picturesque River-Bank, with associated natural wild life, within the bounds of a child and youth free environment,  surrounded by peaceful  uncommercialized scenic Cumbrian Countryside,  alongside the unique walking and cycling opportunities of the virtually undiscovered and unspoilt Northern fells and area, at the Northern tip of the Lake District National park.
If your fantasies do relate to the above description, then my small site, yet to be discovered by many, is probably the only secret little gem you'll ever need, to spend some serious chilled-out youth & child-free leisure time, during any month of the year.
Whether you are a "Caravan & Motorhome Club Member"  or a  "Non Member", I feel confident that my well equipped, Adult Only, Small but Spacious, tranquil touring park can offer just what you require, as your well deserved relaxing get-away retreat.
I originally opened as a 5 van Caravan Club "Certificated Location" (CL) in 1997, and quickly gained popularity.  I had so many regulars requesting to come and stay which led to stages in the year when I was constantly having to turn down bookings as the 5 van capacity had been reached.  I then, in 2003 applied for, and gained planning consent to develop my adjoining land to create extra pitches, which I now call the Millrace area.
Your chance to escape for a while, from hustle-bustle and monotony, to an environment of peace and tranquillity, alongside friendly people just like you, who cherish the same.

Since the site opened in 1997, I've had the pleasure of meeting and welcoming many wonderful people to Riverside. Some of them visit the site several times a year and have become close friends to me.

With the passage of time, many of the loyal orriginals have become too old to continue caravanning.  Sadly some are no longer with us.

I would love to welcome you as a first time guest, with the hope that the site brings you the same level of pleasure it's provided for previous guests through the many years.
Most of the photos of the site, on this website are bang up to date, having been taken only a very short while ago. The lower level photos are taken on a regular basis from our mobile access hoist, and published on to the website almost immediately.

They keep you up to date with what the site currently looks like, and enable you to make your own judgment of the on-going lengths we go to, to maintain the site to the best possible standard.
Just click on any of the above photos to maximize.
Riverside Tourer Park is regarded by many loyal Caravan Club Member Guests, and non-members, who regularly visit the site, as a good value, quality alternative, compared to Large sites, and National Club Sites,  where you unwaryily end up paying vat, and over the odds for services, child play equipment, administration,  personnel & "over-the-top-facilities" you don't actually need, or use.

If you are new to Caravanning, nervous about reversing and manoeuvring your caravan, or haven't got a mover, I am happy to offer free help, or guidance.

You only have to ask.

I have nearly five decades of practical skills and experience in reversing trailers, caravans and most makes of car, to efficiently help you onto, (and off) your chosen pitch, eliminating potential stress.
At Riverside, being Adults only, there'll be NO kids playing football, or speeding around on their bikes next to your prime investment,  your "Caravan or Motorhome", which realistically is very vunerable to damage.   

Riverside is a Child and Youth free zone.
