Children and Adults Safety
There are many opportunities for fun and adventure at Dolwen Riverside Camping. Our aim is for children to have a truly enriching experience of space and freedom. But there are contingent risks to be aware of. We permit campfires, there is a shallow stream bounding the land, and neighbouring land contains active livestock farms.. These risks are small and should be self-evident - but if you are not clear, please ask! Dolwen Riverside Camping accepts no responsibility for injury incurred on site. Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children on site at all times.
​
Access to and from the site is permitted only though the main gate. Visitors are not permitted to access the woodside or bordering fields from the Dolwen Riverside Camping site. Please use public footpaths which are accessible from the main road.

​
On departure day, please vacate you camping pitch by 11:00.
