VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Mar 2024 One of the cleanest places I've stayed. Staff can't do enough for you. Highly recommend Boat Lane and we will be back again, guaranteed.
Pleasant, clean, friendly and welcoming
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Mar 2024 Staff were welcoming on arrival and helpful with questions. The site wasn’t too noisy with basic but clean facilities.
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.
