About River Valley Holiday Park
Set in a peaceful valley near St Austell, River Valley Holiday Park offers a well-kept base for exploring Cornwall's south coast. The site's heated outdoor pool is a hit with families, and there's a genuine sense of calm here – though some visitors note the facilities, while clean, could do with a refresh. All 42 pitches are electric hardstanding (with 17 larger plots for bigger units), making it especially practical in wetter months.
Dogs are welcome throughout, and the owners are often praised for their friendly, helpful approach. WiFi reaches most pitches, showers are reliably hot, and the location strikes a nice balance: tucked away enough to feel rural, yet close to the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, and a string of south Cornwall beaches. A straightforward, well-run site that does the essentials right.

What visitors say
This is our fourth visit to River Valley Holiday park, and it is just ideal. It's central to everything really, mevagissey is just down the road, which is extremely scenic. Lovely valley walks, peace settings, and not forgetting the friendly, family run business that is River Valley Holiday park....Would highly recommend.. this great caravan park/Camping/Campers

River valley caravan park has camping pitches and static caravans of all sizes. The whole camp site is kept to a very high standard. That includes the children's play area, the toilet & shower block & also the swimming pool. It's a great place for a family holiday.

This was our first time here, but it certainly won't be our last. We have done lots of touring and this takes top spot as our favourite UK campsite. So clean, great facilities (the swimming pool is lovely, warm, clean and quiet). The pitches are all large and well spaced apart, grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Kids loved the playarea and the zip line, which was a great size. Nice area to walk your dog. Fabulous location, right on the cycle trail, beautiful and traffic free ride to pretty village and beach. Farm shop and amazing cake a short pretty walk away. Also really, really reasonably priced. Amazing. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Thank you for a great stay

Yet another fantastic week at river valley! We have been coming here with family for years but have been unable to book in for a while as it’s always fully booked and we know why… the site is prefect, showers, washing facilities, swimming pool, well sized pitches and to top it off the staff are always so friendly and helpful! We were able to bring both our kids back this year (5 & 12) and both of them had the best time playing and making friends. The location is spot on too! We all can’t wait to come back again. Thank you for the best week. Jodie and Paul courtier.
