Riverside is divided into two areas,   (see Aerial Photos page)    The "Caravan Club Certificated Location" (CL),   and the,   (licensed for the use of tourer Caravans and M.V.s),   "Millrace  area",    which is available to both Members and Non-Members.

"CARAVAN CLUB CL area"  Preliminary, Riverside was born in 1997 as a Caravan Club CL, and part of it, first and foremost, remains to be maintained as such.  Our one acre lawned CL is just out of the Hamlet of MIllhouse, adjacent a quiet unclassified road, being secluded and well away from noise of main roads. The dominating River Caldew and its tributary Beck, (Gillcambon) join on the site, and are completely open and accessible, and form over half of the perimeter.

Although the CL is just a 5 van site, it is quite a large area, having 11 well spaced pitches in total, all with 10amp electric hook-ups, uniquely providing our clients the choice of hard standing (6) or well drained "River Edge" grass (5), which allows plenty of rotation, with very little  pitch-ware.                                                                     Mains water, waste and chemical disposal.                 WC and FREE shower are laid on, to a rather unique  and  warmly appraised rustic standard.      

Discreet dusk to dawn lighting is provided over the site.     For dog owners we have a small dedicated (flood lit) river edge dog walk area,     (handy for early morning and late evening loo-calls)                                                                                        

"MILLRACE PARK area"   Due to the ever increasing popularity of the CL, we obtained planning permission in 2003 to provide extra pitches, to be available to MEMBERS and NON-MEMBERS of the Caravan Club. 

Unwilling to alter the CL in any way which may endanger its character, we developed our adjoining land in almost mirror image of the existing, with 11 well spaced pitches,   (9 hard-standings with privacy hedges, and 2 grass) all with 10amp electric hook-ups, with separate WC and FREE shower, + all of the above mentioned amenities with the addition of a Motor Van Waste emptying point. Again we have opened up the stretch of river bordering this land to provide complete access to site users.

We have created a river edge picnic area, and installed feeders for the now rare native "red" squirrels. There is quite a vast range of wild bird life on and around the river.  You are quite welcome to try your hand, (on our stretch of river) at fishing for the trout. The Mill Dam, (feeding the Saw Mill) used to be in this stretch of river, and the Millrace once flowed through the lower edge of this land, hence our naming.
