Hidden Valley Holiday Park, Wicklow, Ireland

Hidden Valley is a serene haven of relaxation. Set in a beautiful valley with sites overlooking the tranquil waters of the Avonmore River and a glassy, private lake, The park offers guests the opportunity to experience a holiday amid an abundance of wildlife including kingfishers, cranes, wild geese, ducks, otters and pheasant.

Hidden Valley Holiday Park attracts couples and families seeking a peaceful, family-fun holiday in picturesque surroundings. The park offers both hard-standing and grass sites, each with electric, water and grey waste. The park also has a fantastic choice of boutique glamping lodges for those looking for an outdoor getaway with all the views of camping but with all the comforts of home.

The Park was formed in 2005 and is owned and operated by The Williams family. In the first three years of operation, the owners upgraded the holiday park from a 2-star park into a 4-star Failte Ireland approved park offering modern facilities and great value for couples and families alike. As a family owned and operated business we take great pride in assuring our guests a fantastic and memorable holiday.

The park is located in Rathdrum (“Ringfort of the Ridge”), which was originally the main town of Co. Wicklow, and is still well serviced by both train and bus. The town is situated high on the western side of the beautiful Avonmore Valley and offers the tourist scenic views of the Avonmore River, which flows through the Vale of Clara. The Rathdrum railway station opened on July 18th, 1863.

Rathdrum is well known for the Avondale House and Forest Park, which was home to Charles Stewart Parnell – one of the greatest political leaders of modern Irish History. The grounds offer excellent forest/river walks and picnics.

Rathdrum was also well known for the Rathdrum International Cartoon Festival. The Cartoon Inn displays the work of Bill Eirner, Hunt Emereson, Ulrich Schroeder, Bob Foster, which are among some of the famous artists whose work can be seen at close quarter. The Cartoon Inn is famed far and wide for the rich and humour cartoons which adorn its welcoming walls.

Absolutely great stay, staff are fantastic and so helpful. A regular visitor here, would definitely recommend

Good but wish we went in high season

Stayed with 3 kids last week of June for 1 night. Our second visit. It was quiet. The Water Balls wasn't running as there were some branches in the pool which (strangely) meant it was closed for the entire day. This was extremely disappointing as it was the main thing my kids wanted to do and the main reason we splashed out over 70 euro on wristbands.Being out of season it was very quiet. This was nice in many respects however the downside was that we couldn't have breakfast in the restaurant as planned (the waffles and bacon we had last year were a big hit!)Lots of the attractions looked like they could do with some maintenance - a dead pigeon and lots of dirt in the minigolf water hazards for example. The Waterball pool also looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time.We will probably return but will make sure to do so in July or August when more things will be open.

We stayed in Hidden Valley for 3 nights, the two boys we had with us are 8 and 5 years old, it was their choice to return this year.The amount of freedom they had to cycle, or play with new found friends when they weren't on activities is fantastic, there is a real feel of security and many an adventure was had.Every facility is spotless, toilets, showers, reception, restaurant and you constantly see workers making sure that everything is kept well.I couldn't fault the staff in anyway, everyone from reception to the young people working on the activities, we're so polite and you really felt welcome, so we'll done, each and every one of you, you did yourselves proud.The setting is stunning, it really is picture perfect The cabin we stayed in, was cosy, not a lot of room for movement, it would have been better to have had a small table and chairs instead of a couch, so that we could have eaten inside on wet days, Activities can work out expensiveWe will be back, the boys l

Fantastic weekend, facilities first class. Kids loved it

ThEverything was great, a lot of activities kids! We were lucky with the weather☀️ and no rain) really good organised place for family time spending. Was only one unpleasant thing, the dog’s poop in someplaces.

Hidden valley is a fantastic campsite with so many things to do for all he family. The staff are amazing and so helpful. I would have given it 5 stars but the toilet block and showers were not up to their usual impeccable standards during this stay.

Fantastic park but could do with more camping facilities

Cleary, Isabel - 27/06/2025

Great park for the kids reasonably priced. As campers the campers kitchen needs more, microwaves, kettles etc

Great for families

Young, Alison - 26/06/2025

Great place for families. Kids are fully catered for with plenty to do. The new climbing walls are great but I would recommend that chalk is supplied as your hands can get sweaty. The lakehouse restaurant was a little chaotic. Food was coming out randomly and not per table, so someone in your party could get their food 20 mins before you. But overall food was good and plentiful. If the weather is on yourside it's even better. We were lucky as the weather was fantastic so we spent alot of time down at the lake.
