Marnham Lake Fishing and Camping

Líbí se: Nice, quiet site. We visited over the weekend and arrived at the site in the afternoon. There was plenty of room and it was pretty quiet. We stayed on a hard standing and that was a decent enough size. We didnt get great internet, but we were by some trees, so I put it down to that. The toilets/shower room probably needed a bit of updating inside but, honestly, wasn't a problem. The shower was also very good as well (powerful, warm, and not having to press a button every 30 seconds). We used this as a base to visit Sherwood Forest and Lincoln on separate days. Both around 30 mins away. We sat out in the evening and had a nice time, weather was warm and the site was peaceful. The gate is key coded (security for the lake) and the entrance road is quite narrow but we never had a problem. There is a pub, 5 minutes walk away but, unfortunately, never got to go there. Overall, I would recommend and stay again.

Nelíbí se: Nothing

Líbí se: The start of the visit was a bit traumatic you have to go down a single lane road for the last half a mile or so (glad I wasn't driving) the sat nav takes you to a house which is 3 entrances too early, I phoned for help but only got a voice mail, fortunately we found it quickly, the turn is tight through the barrier and we caught the caravan on the entry keypad. The site has a new owner who is gradually making changes, they were away on holiday though so we only saw people who called by from another site. There is a new toilet block which is functioning but needs finishing. The showers (2 in the ladies) are actually fab but the curtain is hung too far in and sucks in to your body once the shower is on. Hubby says the gents loo is a bad flusher, there are 3 loos in the ladies they flush ok. It was really peaceful apart from a dog who barked a lot and there was a lot of grass cutting and strimming going on. They have a bar bus but that wasn't open, think they were opening it on Bank Holiday. There are some lakeside pods going in which looked nice. There are currently 30 electric pitches and some seasonal vans. The grass is mown right around the site so you can walk the dogs. If you speak to someone on site they will tell you how to cut through to the pub which is on another caravan site. The lake has lots of pegs but needs work to either build up or take out the old pegs which currently make it a bit difficult to net the fish. The fishing is good but will be better when the fish are different species and sizes, but it is early days and I am sure it can and will be a really lovely site. We liked it and look forward to seeing how it develops.

Nelíbí se: Facilities not amazing, woke up at 3am with dogs barking next to us, gate on entry if you ain't careful you will hit the keypad with your caravan, people with dogs should be set apart from people without there is space to do this

Líbí se: Fantastic campsite located in a quiet area of Lower Marnham close to the tidal River Trent. A lovely small fishing lake which is well looked after with improvements set to adjust pegs following recent floods.

Martin was great and looked after the communal areas to a high standard.

New benches and a characterful ‘Bus Bar’ had just arrived which served as an on site bar serving alcohol for those wishing to relax with a few beverages.

Nelíbí se: Campsite type is listed as “Tiny (1-10 pitches)

This is not the case. I would say there are between 12-15 hard pitch with electrical hookup along with a further 10-15 grass pitch with electrical hookup. Including a number of “off grid” pitches also.

This wasn’t a problem but if you are expecting a tiny site with few pitches, please be aware.

Other than that a good few days
