The Main Terms & Conditions
As a holiday park, Riverside cannot be used as your sole or main residence and we will request proof of your address where you reside and can be contacted if and when required.
The Park is open from 14th February – 2nd January annually and it is not permitted to stay onsite during the 6 weeks of the year that we are closed.
All our holiday homes are privately owned and sub-letting is not allowed, additionally, no homes are available for hire.
We don’t allow food deliveries (i.e. from the leading supermarkets, ask in reception if you require further clarification) on to the park as there is a great selection of shops and services available in Bentham, and the local area, whom we ask you to support as part of our commitment to green tourism.
We don’t allow hover boards, segways, drones, electric bikes or remote controlled cars/toys. Push bikes, skateboards, scooters and the like are more than welcome, but we ask for these to go to bed at 7:00pm or as soon as the street lights have come on. We politely ask this for the peace and quiet of customers of all ages. We are a quiet park and ask for absolute quiet between 11pm and 7am.
