Liked: Great location, ground drained really well so even though weather wasn’t great the site wasn’t muddy. Owners quick to respond to any questions. Good pub next door that was dog friendly. Cows in next field were considerate neighbours lol.
Disliked: Water pressure in shower was poor. But we’re clean and not on those stupid buttons

Liked: This is absolutely my kind of site. Small, quiet. no fuss. Very well maintained. Loo facilities provided all that was required. I actually liked just having the code for the front gate and not having to wait to be met by a member of staff. I did have a contact telephone number if I had needed to speak to someone. Walking both ways along the river is lovely, even in the horrible drizzle we had to put up with. Had food from the local Indian delivered which was very convenient and very yummy. Will definitely be back, especially with the bonus of the site only being 1/2 an hour from home.
Disliked: Absolutely not the sites fault, but I was disappointed with the pub next door. Its one of those family, chain type places. Perfect if thats your thing but its absolute;y not mine. Was hoping for e few pints but had one and left.

Liked: Gunthorpe Camping is an excellent site. Two flat grass fields. Good facilities. Close to The Unicorn Pub with great food. Next door to Tom Browns, an up market restaurant. 100yards away from best Indian restaurant and takeaway in the country. The fab river Trent is just across the road with all the boating and boarding available. Cycling along the river bank all the way to Nottingham if you wish. Half a mile away from Lowdham’s, probably the best caravan centre in the midlands. Just can’t be beaten. Trust me. Try it.

Liked: Communication with Lesley (Owner) regarding Checking in etc was good and the Couple who greeted us on site were very helpful and informative. They had Lived in Gunthorpe and knew the area very well, enabling them to provide useful, relevant information & advice. Location, Security, Pitch Size, Site Layout, Socialising area & Washup area were all very good. We will definitely go back.
Disliked: Very small Toilet & Shower Block, only one Male toilet, urinal, Sink and Shower no chair provided. The same for the Female side but there was a chair in there. The facilities that were there were very good, lots of hot water, very clean & fresh. I have to say this was not a problem at the time we were staying as the Site was not very busy, only four pitches being used by couples. If the site were full with families too this would be a problem. There were two Fridges provided for communal use, good idea, however they desperately needed defrosting and cleaning we were unable to use them. If a small freezer were provided Campers would be able to freeze their own Blocks to go in Cool Boxes, exchanging them each day.

Liked: Lots of space and very casual setup. Great location.
Disliked: Bathroom facilities not kept clean. Pretty grim. Only 1 shower Sinks and toilets not cleaned from Saturday to Wednesday. So disappointing.

From the manager: Christine….this is so unfair, you were hardly on-site..so how you can you know when the facilities were cleaned. 6 out of 10 for accommodation, that’s your tent? we only supplied you a grass pitch. We have 3 showers so I’m not sure if your reviewing the correct site?
Friendly owners and superb location.

Liked: I really lovely simple campsite of two fields with apple trees, picnic tables, ducks and guinea fowl. The kitchen was all we needed with sinks, fridges, power supply and a couple of sofas. The bathrooms were the real winner - two nice toilet cubicles in the ladies and a shower room, but it was heated!! So nice in the morning to go into somewhere warm. As a woman travelling on her own with a child I also really appreciated the secure gates that could only be opened with a code. The river walk just outside the gate was lovely too.
