Liked: We loved this little campsite. Great location by the Trent with restaurants / pub nearby. It helped we had fabulous weather! I was worried when I saw there was only one shower for women and one for men but somehow it worked out even though the campsite was nearly full.

Electric grass pitch

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

Electric grass pitch

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.

Electric grass pitch

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.

Local attractions

Despite the industrial past and present, Nottinghamshire has many fab natural landscapes: the wetlands at Skylarks Nature Reserve, a 20-minute drive from the site are as rich with feathered life as any you'll see on TV nature channels. For more adventurous hours, there's go-karting 15 minutes' drive away in Netherfield, and a massive array of high octane stuff (not all of it watery) at the National Watersports Centre (20 minutes' drive) including Segway rides, high ropes, wakeboarding and rafting. Then there's Sherwood Forest and Sherwood Forest Pines Park 40 minutes away… a leafy combination of legend, history, nature reserve, country park and adventure centre, with hiking and biking trails through 450 acres of ancient oaks and wildlife. Adventureseekers can see it from the treetops on ropes and wires at Go Ape, and the kids can clamber about at the award-winning natural play area Robin Hood’s Hideout. For family antics out of the forest, Sundown Adventureland (40 minutes) has rides and themed playgrounds for the under-10s; Twinlakes Park offers birds of prey shows and creepy critters along with its waterpark and rollercoaster rides, and for the real big-ride fanatics, it's an hour and a half to Alton Towers. It's half an hour to Nottingham for tours of the castle and the caves, stopping for snifters in Ye Trip To Jerusalem and ice skating at Motorpoint Arena. You could also hire bikes for a trip through Colwick Country Park (20 minutes' drive), a pleasant combo of woodlands, lakes, meadows and playgrounds where you can swim, fish, walk, sail and spot wildlife.
