Newbridge Country Park Reviews
Linda Brierley
Had a 3 night stay in the touring section. The site is lovely and very well maintained and very clean. It’s a great walk along the cycle/walking route into the town centre although there is a bus stop right outside the park if you’d rather not walk
Michele Crawford
Camper and caravan park section is stunning. Green grass around gravel area. Toilets and showers are so clean and has necessary items like shampoo and conditioner available. Games room available too. Very friendly atmosphere.
Andrew Taylor
Immaculately clean & tidy. Flat pitches for motorhomes (woo hoo), games room, free WiFi. Dog walk down to the river. Very quiet. The people that run the place are very friendly.
