Sep 2023 Chose just 1 night to try this campsite. So peaceful and natural. Lovely views, especially from the top of the castle mound. Good walks with dog. Enjoyed playing in our boat.
Great place
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 I had a wonderful stay. It was my first time car camping and I couldn't have chosen a better place. I had two swims and 3 lovely walks with my dog. I felt safe and it was so peaceful. I will come back soon as I can for another stay.
Perfect sleepover, thank you
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 Beautiful place for our first trip with our newly acquired campervan. Warm welcome, gorgeous & peaceful surroundings. Including the river. We enjoyed swimming in the river very much.
Great campsite
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 Great setting, clean facilities and friendly staff. Would definitely go again.
Beautiful peaceful place
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 This is such a lovely place- a gorgeous river to play in and a lovely peaceful atmosphere. Limited facilities, but this was reflected in the very reasonable price. Thoroughly recommend.
WOW!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 A truly glorious site; Quiet, peaceful and wonderfully low-tech. We can’t wait to come back!
Great location for families wanting a wild camp feel
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Brilliant location for a weekend camp. Great views from the hill, with the wider area bathed in the history of Fotheringhay Castle. Easy access to the river for paddle-boarding and swimming. Great local walks with pubs.
Hill top location means you need to be prepared for wind. 2pm check in/out is a welcomed revelation that allows you the opportunity to enjoy both your first and last day on site. Facilities limited to on-site warden, portable toilets and running water - exactly what we were after.
Great little spot with river access
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 This site is simple and has everything you need if you're happy to use a portaloo and go without a shower for a few days :) Lovely stretch of river to enjoy, prettier location and a good escape. Access for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking Dog friendly (on lead) and child friendly. Suitable for a mix of groups, couples and families - there was just me with my dog and we loved it.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Excellent site for paddle boarding.
Gorgeous riverside location with friendly, helpful hosts
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Gorgeous location with nicely spaced-out plots to choose from.
Plus the accessibility to the river made the wilderness experience even better.
Kaz and Charlie were so welcoming, friendly and helpful too!
Back to basics fun by the river
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Excellent site if you make the most of the river. Very peaceful, with spots to fish and launch canoes etc. If you have mobility issues then consider some sort of small ladder to get into the river.
Site hosts are pleasant and willing to help if needed. Good pubs in the village to eat at and a couple of historic sights to visit. We camp a lot all over the UK and will return here.
A fixed toilet building would be better, but not too bad with portaloos, clean enough, but they are what they are, temporary toilets. The only reason to mark the site down.
Our stay
Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 Site as expected. Low key, but well organised and clean.

A great experience
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2022 A very special location. Lots of natural beauty and local charm. During our stay Kaz and all other site representatives were very friendly and helpful. On the day of our departure we had a problem and Charles and his family were very kind and quick to help out. Many thanks. An all round good experience.
