Riverside Caravan Park

Alan Rogers Review of Riverside Caravan Park

A town centre touring park, adjacent to the Worksop cricket ground, this four-acre site is surprisingly peaceful. For those who cannot resist the thwack of leather on willow, this site is ideal. Access is difficult with a small bridge and sharp turn so large units will find this restrictive/impossible.

Riverside is within easy walking distance of the town centre shopping precinct, and the Chesterfield Canal runs close to its northern side offering towpath walks and fishing (children would need to be watched). Of the 59 marked level pitches, many are seasonal and the remainder are for touring, mainly on gravel hard-standing, 7 are on grass and some are separated by trees and low rails, and all have 10A electric hook-ups. There is good site lighting.

Attractions in the area include Creswell Crags, Clumber Park, the Dukeries Cycle Trail, Thoresby Park and Gallery, Mr Straw’s House, Rufford Mill Craft Centre and Country Park, and Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield.
