River Valley Holiday Park

Alan Rogers Review

In the small country village of Redcross, in the heart of County Wicklow, this is a first rate, family run park. It is within easy reach of beauty spots such as the Vale of Avoca (Ballykissangel), Glendalough and Powerscourt, plus Brittas Bay, a 3.5 mile stretch of beautiful white sand dunes and clean beaches.

Celestine Bar and Restaurant on the site offers traditional Irish music, log fires and weekly entertainment. The 120 touring pitches (some serviced) are divided into separate, well landscaped areas with an adults-only section. All have 6/10 amp electricity connections and offer a choice of hardstanding or grass – you select your pitch.

The Williams family continue to develop and make improvements to this park. There is Fort Apache (adventure playground), a playground for small children and a natural mountain stream where it is safe to paddle. There is also a pets’ corner. An attractive wine and coffee bar with a conservatory is inviting; an alternative may be the restaurant where home made, traditional dishes are on the menu. Within this 15 acre site, children can find day-long amusement. The site offers golf, tennis, badminton, bowling and indoor football. Outdoor activities aren't neglected as gardens, shore angling, mountain walks (Walking Festival October Bank Holiday weekend) and horse riding are all available within easy reach from the site.
