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.

The place was kept clean at all times. The only bad thing was the shower it was way to hot I tryed adjusting it and it want too cold the was no middle temperature with it but it may have just been the one I was in. Staff were great at the bonfire night well done to all involved children had a great time.

A magical place

This was our first time staying at Hidden Valley and we were not disappointed. Lots of activities onsite for all the family. The staff were all friendly helpful. On arrival we treated ourselves to a meal in the Lakehouse restaurant and it was delicious. We will be booking shortly for a stay next summer. We stayed the end of October and we were lucky the weather was so good for this time of year I would like to see better lightning as it was quiet dark around our end of the park.

Definitely a resort

We stead in a cabin it was very spacious and clean. Staff were lovely, food in the restaurant was not over priced like other holiday venues, campsite was very clean along with bathrooms and showers. Only downside was the cost of all activities

First time visitors but definitely will be back.

Our 1st time visiting Hidden Valley. We had a great time. The facilities were great and spotless. Staff were fabulous, very helpful and nice. We can’t wait to return.

Very good place to stay for family and group, but limited BBQ.

It is good and well designed resort. The only reservation that I have is that but disposal BBQ is allowed and fire pit is not allowed at all. This condition was either not visible in the website or at least not clearly articulated. Other than that, I would definitely come again.

Best campsite so far

We stayed last wk for 4 nights only supposed to stay 3 nights but we enjoyed it so much the kids wanted to stay for Halloween night.We all loved it and will definitely be back the best campsite so far.

Prices continue to rise

Beautiful campground, but the prices keep rising and rising. The price of single activities is off the charts, they need to bring them back down.

No power

O Sullivan, Richard - 05/11/2024

Had a black out from 6pm after only getting house after 4pm no power till 7.30 next morning wasn’t the best situation with 4 kids with no lights or power kids failing and tripping up in the dark etc and heard nothing about complimentary night or refund

Halloween Stay

Murphy, Stacy - 05/11/2024

We went for Halloween day and night, we enjoyed our stay and the activities that were done with the children were good, there was a parade in which everyone walked around the campsite this was OK could be improved was a little boring, also there was a bomb fire put on the night after Halloween which I found a bit strange for them not to have it on Halloween night. Check in was 4pm and check out was 11am our lodge wasn’t ready till 4pm bang on which was not ideal as we needed to dress the children upFor the activity we had booked at 3pm, I think check in should be earlier. We had a good stay all around and will definitely be back. Staff were nice, Cabins were clean and the children were safe playing around the area.

Great Site for the Kids

O'Driscoll, Joseph - 04/11/2024

A great campsite for the kids, with plenty for them to do, lots of activities laid on, we booked several activities in advance and the kids loved them all. Hard stands all have their own EHU, Fresh water and grey water disposal with is a major plus, and the general campsite facilities are top notch. Deducting 1 star as the staff on site seemed quite distant and not overly friendly, the age profile of the team are fairly young and its near the end of the season but all in all a top top camping experience.
