Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Nothing to like

Disliked: We had to pick up dog poop before we could pitch our awning - it was awful - dogs running wild - derelict caravans and cars all around, and just depressing - would never go there again No drinking water!! £50 for 2 nights - daylight robbery

From the manager: Well you couldn't believe it how 2 faced and inaccurate you were informed that we are offgrid and you were so happy when you were here as you told us so twice never once did you raise any concerns you had with our team you used our facilities without so much as a complaint whilst here. Your review will only help us here as we really don't need the book reader complaining 2 faced types here. Thank you for never wanting to come back. Problem solved.

Great staff and friendly

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Everything, the entertainment was brilliant the owners went out of the way to keep you happy. Karaoke, singing, dancing, & bingo. The race night (pig racing) hilarious. I would describe it as Benidorm on steroids' loved every minute of it. If you have a bucket list then this site needs to be added to it. I believe they are razing the existing site & rebuilding a new one ready for next season. Better bar (better entertainment) I hope they succeed as i will be back. The owners are attempting to have a green site regarding electric coming from solar.

Disliked: Nothing

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Everything. Utterly brilliant chaos I didn't expect on a night but for the right reasons. Everyone was so welcoming but also gave space. Site was clean, bar was fun and the late check out time really reflects the fun they want you to have on an evening.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: This is a quirky little green campsite We loved how friendly and helpful Richard and his wife are And we loved the little tiki bar where you take your own beer 👍👍

Disliked: No fresh water onsite - to be fair they had a tap running off a spring so ideally you would have to boil the water before you use it Just bring your own

Local attractions

If you’re looking to get out for a stroll, there are plenty of places to do just that, starting with a public footpath on the edge of the site that leads over to miles of pathways through the surrounding countryside. There’s also the option of taking a waterside walk by the Chesterfield Canal, which is half a mile away and runs through to Retford, with a couple of handily placed pubs along the way. For other nature-inspired walks nearby, try Idle Valley Nature Reserve (10 minutes’ drive – or you can walk or bike there along a path) or head to the bigger spaces of Sherwood Forest (half an hour’s drive) or the National Trust’s Clumber Park (20 minutes). Fishing, meanwhile, is only about 500 metres away at Hayton Lakes. Looking a little further afield, there’s a sobering bit of the past to explore at the National Holocaust Centre and Museum (25 minutes) and a fascinating bit of prehistory at Creswell Crags (half an hour) – or aviation fans can book ahead to visit The Vulcan Experience (half an hour).
