Little Oak Campsite

Haven't pitched up for quite a while;
But decided on this campsite stay;
For the before and after of;
Running the Robin Hood 100 mile!

Fine Autumn weather;
Not too hot and not too cool;
Friendly advice on where to go;
To get the cheapest fuel!

Compact, clean and countryside feel;
good price for the basics;
And most importantly for me;
Recovery and sleep;
And heating up a meal!

Choice of two spots - both quite nice and flat;
After much indecision - I thought f*** it;
I went for the pitch next to the fire bucket!

For £10 per night;
Very hard to moan;
Added bonus on offer;
Free socket to charge a phone!

Made it back alive - from the 100 mile run;
So I'm wondering if I have the right to sue?
Or failing that perhaps;
Cover weekend costs with the prize money won;
For writing this review!

Lovely peaceful campsite. Lots of room around our tent because everyone was nicely spread out.
The firepits were a great idea. Have to pay for firewood and marshmallows.
Great location to visit Sherwood Forest.
Although it was someone's back garden we camped in, it really didn't feel like it.

Toilets could have been cleaned more often. In the evening we could hear birds screeching. Lots of birds. Apparently there's a man who lives near by and he has hundreds of birds. The noise doesn't last too long.
No free WiFi like it says on their website. Wi-Fi is for guests staying in the clamping cabin only.

A very warm welcome from the owners and always helpful but not intrusive.
Lovely small site with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy camping.
Toilet and showers were basic but kept clean with plenty of hot water.
Washing up facilities were not undercover so might be a pain if you had a wet holiday.

Nothing

Nice atmosphere, relaxed.

It was very quaint campsite. Was perfect for a short 2 night away break. It was a very spacious campsite. We definitely would return.

It didn't have hot water to wash your pots in and not many wash basins. Lighting wasn't great in the evenings.

Great quiet campsite, limited pitches in picturesque setting. Very friendly and dogs allowed so great for our wee spaniel.
Definitely would go back. Would not suit everyone as although facilities are new only 2 toilets & 2 showers but only had to queue once in 3 days. Only cold water washing up facilities. Very local to nice forests.

Arriving too late and not bagging a fire pit & shade.. it was a v hot bank holiday weekend 🤣🤣

Was a nice clean tidy area.

Toilet block!! Although kept clean it was tiny and 1 toilet didnt work! For the size of the field id say more toilets and showers are needed. It stated online there was a child play area but there isnt. It felt like we were camping in someones garden.

An excellent warm welcome.
We had a lively holiday at Little Oak. The bedroom + private bathroom were very good and we could use the kitchenette and beatifull garden. A nice quiet place just outsider town.

Fire pits

Rain

Nice, well cut, green field on arrival, at about 11.00am.

The two showers which were larger than typical which meant that there was a dry area for dressing after the shower.

Level pitch and some choice of pitch location.

Very noisy late at night due to barBQs and a fairly large group of three tents together.

Dish washing facility unfit for purpose. It was filthy, had no connection to the waste pipe (= wet feet and soggy ground). No hot water. No cover resulting in pigeon muck on the draining area and leaves in the sink. It is unlikely that staff ever maintained/cleaned this facility.

Very questionable electrical safety of the 'phone charging 'system' which consisted of a long extension lead to a standard 13A socket in the open air with only a small (inadequate) cover over the table on which it rested. When it rained, the socket got wet.

Both toilets were small; the one on the right was so small that it was difficult to open/close the door whilst in the cubical.

No separate wash area such that one had to brush one's teeth in the cramped toilet with nowhere except the toilet seat to put one's toiletries.

Difficult access to the site.

Very expensive for the facilities compared with the three other sites that we stayed on during our trip.
