starcross's review of Hoseasons Riverside Holiday Park - Bognor

★☆☆☆☆

“Riverside caravan park-what a mistake!”

Written on: 29/07/2012 by starcross

ok where to start...I returned two days ago. So this is a very honest review
the biggest let down was defintatly the children's entertainment the 'rascals club' is only for 45minutes each day (if that) it literally started at 7pm the kids entertainers came on stage sang and danced to a few songs (cha cha slide, pineapple song, superman) then they all take the kids over to a basically a room the size of a front room with soft play in, very small room locked up all day then had 30kids running round, it was hot and smelly and the kids would run wild unsupervised. I went the 1st day with mine and then they didn't even want to go back! also the children who own caravans there I found to be very rough like street children.
The family entertainers consisted of three 18year olds who were friends with all of the caravan owners & their teenage children. my kids didn't get a look in. And to be honest they were all pikeys! The kids of parents you see stocking up on sweets in a cheap supermarket slapping & swearing at there kids
The tuck shop-is literally a tuck shop lollipops & ice creams.
We went to the on site restraunt for the Sunday Carvary got there an hour before it ended & it was empty with left overs on the serving trays. Very strange.

Lovely children's paddling pool, open 10-5.
Nearest beach was a 30-40minute walk away through the town.

The holiday was a let down cost £600
Spent lots of money in the tescos next door to the site buying thing to keep my two busy. Paddling pool, bubbles and balls and things.

Next year I will definitely be spending a little more to go to butlins!

Avoid riverside. Unless you want a week away of boredom
