This friendly site is situated between Ireland’s eastern coast and its bustling capital, Dublin. Its adults-only section provides peace for those looking for a quiet stay, while in high season there’s a focus on families, with activities including archery and mini golf on offer.
Pitches are spacious and laid out thoughtfully, and the facilities are well kept. There is also a shop onsite which stocks the basics and local pubs in the nearby village that serve good food.
With its pretty mountainous scenery, Wicklow National Park is just a stone's throw from the site and is perfect for active hill walks or birdwatching. Vibrant Dublin is within easy reach by car or public transport, where you can explore its cobbled streets and Georgian architecture or visit the Guinness Factory. Tours around the on-site Micro Brewery available.

I have just returned from River Valley and agree with most of the reviews, but if you need to have TV for a favourite event that you can't bear to miss, be warned! The top terrace in the Secret Garden is a great area but do not... Show more

We have stayed at this site 4 times now and despite the weather it remains one of the best. This time was a little 'end of season' so even quieter than usual although most of the facilities were available. It is a shame Irish sites close so... Show more

Although I was only there for 1 night, I found the facilities to be excellent. Although it is well suited for families with children, there is also a peaceful location too.
