Not quite as expected Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 I chose this site for its location, not far from home, near a river walk for the dog, walking distance to the pub and café/restaurant 5 mins by car. It is a huge site and I loved the relaxed way we could park where we wanted and face any direction. It was indeed close to a pub and the walk along the Trent was nice. The lady who seemed to be running the place was very friendly and welcoming.
However, the toilet and shower block was very disappointing. Whilst there was evidence of trying to keep everything clean and tidy, the quality of the building and finishes was extremely shoddy. The building itself looked thrown together. Warped toilet walls and tiny shower cubicles with mouldy grout and cracked tiles. The tin roof looked extremely dodgy and I would put money on it leaking in times of rain which, would explain the warped plywood walls. The showers themselves were electric and just about adequate. We came in the middle of a heat wave so luckily didn't need them to be too hot.
My main complaint about this place though was the cost. I'm happy to put up with a bit of rustic charm and I like a site that is not all singing and dancing. However, the cost was not far off what I would pay for a C&MH or CCC site but the quality of facilities was definitely not on par.
Would I go back? Probably not which is a shame because it is a nice spot with huge potential. There is no way the 4 toilets and 4 showers (per gender) would cope with a full site. I think that the owner needs to invest a little bit of money and a lot of TLC into the facilities block to be charging the prices they do.
Lovely place to stay
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 Had a lovely 2 night stay here. Would certainly return. Not masses for the kids to do but they had a lovely time nevertheless.
Used for backpacking overnight stay Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2023 Walked to the site and found signage and checking in easy.
Was using the non-electric field and found somewhere to pitch a tent without a problem. Showers and wash facilities were adequate although the site was busy on an August Bank Holiday weekend. Everything basic for me and good value for my needs.
Pub nearby for some food, couldn't find a shop in the morning, rail station 20 mins away, bus 40 mins. All in all a useful location.
Just what was required
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2023 Firstly want to explain 4* facilities, others would perhaps mark down as they are undoubtedly basic compared to say big branded sites….however I think they're spot on, clean at all times of day everything you needed available.
Nice back to nature and back to basics site, amazing value. Non electric camp fields spanned two sizeable fields so never on top of each other and any noise which to a degree is expected at times was far enough away to not cause issue. Every other visitor looked happy and enjoying their stay too…
Camp stay
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2023 Spacious campsite with basic facilities. Free hot water and a handy kitchen area. Our pitch was a little uneven but did the job. Picnic tables dotted around were a good addition. Generally quiet and within easy reach of lots of attractions. No play area for kids except tree swing. Waggon and Horse pub within walking distance with lovely wood-fired pizzas and free Wi-Fi.
Basic facility
Motorhome - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Ok for 1 night stay. Some nice walks.
Nothing much to do locally if weather is bad.
