Irondale Touring Caravans and Campsite

Liked Great pitches. Very clean and tidy and level. Super quiet as I was only one staying.
Staff at pub are all friendly although I didn’t eat so can’t comment on food.

Disliked Bit pricey at £30 with no shower or washing up facilities. You do have use of toilets in pub so ok for a quick stop over

Liked We stayed on the campsite for 7 nights while I played Masters Hockey at Nottingham University. We were greeted by Sue who had been waiting for us to arrive and shoed us to our pitch and explain where the fresh water and Esan point were located. All the pitches are large hard standing pitches with the added bonus that each has a waste water drain. In addition each pitch has its own grass area the a table and sun umbrella. The toilets are clean open 24/7 and adjacent to the pitches at the pub. Sue and Ian are wonderful host and provide any help you need in our case a power lead that was found to be faulty.

The site is a great place to stop if you are you need a nights stop over while travelling from the North or the South up the M1 being only about 2 miles off Junction 25. If you want to look round the it's about 6 miles from Nottingham or Derby with buses to both places if you don't want to drive, indeed the bus into Nottingham goes just past the University so the site would suit anyone wanting to visit the University.

Overall a terrific site well placed and we will certainly be back.

Liked Average, good welcome but a bit pricey

Liked We stayed for two nights at the campsite behind The Chequers Inn in Stanton by Dale and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The site itself is compact, tidy, and well cared for, run by Sue, the friendly landlady of the pub.

Each pitch offers a gravel area alongside a grass section, complete with a well-maintained picnic table and umbrella—making it easy to relax outdoors. A particularly convenient feature is the grey waste point provided at each pitch, which you don’t always find on smaller sites.

The Chequers Inn is a real gem. It’s beautifully presented with a clean, welcoming atmosphere and a football-themed décor that gives it a unique character. The pub serves a great selection of food and beer, though food must be pre-ordered—a detail worth noting for planning ahead. There are two pleasant outdoor seating areas, ideal for enjoying a drink in the evening.
Look out for Ken, the sites Harris Hawk.

Overall, it’s a well-run site with excellent facilities, a warm welcome, and a great pub just steps away. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

Liked nice quiet location, pitches a good size and level felt very safe. Owner very friendly accommodating and helpful. will stay again. Pub with food on site.

Liked Just minutes from the Motorway. Got everything you need for an overnight stop-off. Lovely quiet spot. Footpaths just behind the site (good for dogs). Pub is lovely and gives 24 hour access to their toilets.

Liked Lovely site with great pitches, and a picnic table on each pitch couldn’t ask for more
