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.

We had an amazing break at Hidden Valley

Good

We stayed in a glamping lodge which was perfect for our needs for a short 2 night stay. We found the campsite extremely clean with good choice of activities.Unfortunately everything cost extra with no discounts for overnight stays. Very poor shower facilities for size of the campsite which also were charged for.No campers kitchen just outdoor hobs (paid for again) and outdoor sinks. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly in both the activities and the restaurant

Family fun and we'll return

Beautiful location by the river with calming water sounds and stunning views. Close to Glendalough, with a good local hotel restaurant nearby and reasonably priced snacks/drinks in the bar. Negatives: every activity costs extra, even showers (€1/6 mins), which makes it expensive. No recycling bins, only general waste. On Sunday night the 10pm curfew wasn’t enforced – noise continued until midnight – though midweek was much quieter. Showers/toilets were dirty on Sunday but clean during the week. Despite these issues, the riverside setting is unbeatable, and as a nature lover I still rate it 4/5 since no other local site offers electricity and showers.

Brilliant

We had an amazing time at Hidden valley and will be back again. Some feed back from our group of friends was as below but all in all the best holiday we had this year. We took part in the activities the Lazer tag was fun but really needs equipment maintenance and would recommend an armband or something to help red team and blue team stand out as you can not tell who is on your team. The Aqua park was great fun kids and Adults had a lot of fun. The life jackets also due upgrade as are starting to be very warn/ smelly but still keep you safer in the water. A microwave or 2 would be a great addition to the kitchen areas. Small TV in the lodges for the very wet days. All the staff were very friendly and helpful at all times.
