Public Areas – General
The Park is situated on a level field with hard standing gravel pitches. Our park opens directly on to Pentewan Cycle Trail, so you may access the beach without needing transport. Access the Trail via a gate approx 110cm wide. The Trail is a very gentle slope and is well maintained. It is easily walked with a pushchair or buggy, but the distance to the beach (2.6m) may be too far for wheelchair users. Tarmac roads are at the entrance and outside our Reception and amenity areas. Our field also has a tarmac road. Picnic benches are outside every caravan. A washing up area is adjacent to the laundryroom.
Public Areas – WC

Surrounding Area
River Valley is in a rural setting less than 3 miles from the nearest beach. The Park has direct access to a Cycle Trail which is a 2.6m distance from the beach. The route is reasonably level and well maintained and the beach has fully accessible facilities. The surrounding area is hilly and steep gradients are encountered in most areas. River Valley is close to many beaches locally; all have very different access provisions. We’re always happy to advise you – or please take a look at our Beach Guide, which provides full descriptions. Mobile telephone coverage is generally very good around the park, but the Park has a Wifi connection. Wifi may be slow at peak times and is not sufficient for streaming. A regular public bus service leaves from directly outside the Park. It is a 15-minute journey to St Austell train station, which is fully accessible and staffed between 8am and 7pm. Mevagissey is also a 15-minute direct journey by bus. This is a harbour town with narrow streets and a choice of accessible cafes and pubs. The public WCs are accessible.
