What customers say
This is a large, well-maintained woodland campsite with exceptionally spacious pitches, ideal for families and groups seeking freedom and nature. Visitors praise the abundance of activities, friendly staff, and good value for money. However, several reviews highlight concerns regarding the cleanliness and upkeep of toilet and shower facilities, with some guests finding them dated and a long distance from pitches. Limited activities for very young children and occasional noise issues were also mentioned.

Stayed for 2 nights and granddaughter joined us for the 2nd night
Electric optional grass pitch (large, no pets)
Liked Area very good size and site clean. The staff were amazing nothing was too much trouble. Looking at booking again in May
Disliked The menu in the bar was limited but the food was good and served in a reasonable length of time. We were up on one of the top fields, which was very peaceful but too far away from the amenities

Electric optional grass pitch (no pets)
Liked The touring pitches were easily accessible on a large flat field. The staff were very friendly and the activities were great.
Disliked Showers were dirty and the pitches had no privacy. It is not made clear in the information that the WiFi is only available in the bar, not on the pitches.

Loads of room for the kids to play and explore

Great place would recommend
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Pitches are great sizes we stayed in field M which is near the main road and didn’t bother us at all, nice walks over the road in the woods with the dog. We love it at Walesby

Fantastic site, clean, wild, friendly, great choice of where to pitch.
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, wild)
Liked I came with my 20 year old daughter for a short autumn camping trip, and we both loved the space, the choice of where to pitch and the beauty of the (large) site. If you like nature and a no frills freedom, this is the place to come. I've read a lot of complaints about the toilets -- but we found them clean, well-maintained and convenient.

Had a great time, staff helpful & friendly this is our 3rd stay
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The staff, the lady from Sheffield was lovely and really great with my daughter and her friend. Our pitch, we love being on the cub field. Showers were ok could do with runny about longer than the did and could be warmer but nice and powerful. Activities were good, however I don't think it's wise to have the water sports on in Oct, maybe something else.
Disliked Didnt like the fact the bar wasn't open in the week. I think they could have done a Halloween disco and a Halloween treasure hunt. Both things I ended up doing for my girls.
