You'll sense the history all around you at The Old Vicarage, from the old house to the remains of the water mill in the river bed. Stays here are in the grounds of a 17th-century house in the village of Elkesley, six miles from Worksop and 25 miles from Nottingham. Its grounds run down to the banks of the Poulter river, and are lined with stands of acacia, sycamore, ash and oak trees which were originally donated to the first vicar by the Duke of Newcastle in the 1830s. There's plenty of space around the site for traditional outdoor activities, with a rope swing and stepping stones over the shallow river and a bridge that's perfect for playing Pooh Sticks. In the surrounding area there are animal parks and nature reserves to walk around, or to head back further in time, you could take one of the trails through ancient Sherwood Forest, around quarter of an hour's drive away. Every bank holiday, the site opens up their Cave Bar, a cool little space built into an exposure of 500-million-year-old sandstone, with a chillout room, TV room and games, plus an outdoor terrace for sipping drinks out in the sunshine. Other amenities include a washing-up area and bathrooms with plentiful hot showers, toilets and baby changing facilities. Barbecues are welcome on site, as long as you keep them two feet off the ground.

Det siger kunderne

Denne maleriske campingplads roses for sin smukke omgivelser og den lavvandede flod, som er et hit hos børn. Familier fremhæver legepladsen og den afslappede atmosfære. Mange nævner dog, at toiletfaciliteterne er basale og trænger til opdatering/rengøring. Gæster vil dog gerne vende tilbage.

Areal til telt med græs med elektricitet

Syntes om The stream running through the camp was great for the kids as well as the rope swings and zip lines

Syntes ikke om The facilities unfortunately let this site down greatly. The toilets and showers blocks were not cleaned at all and were nothing short of disgusting and unsanitary. We did tell the owner but nothing changed. The shower holder just fell off the minute you moved it. Toilet roll all over the floor. Toilets covered in faeces. No space in either the toilets or showers.

On arrival the pitches aren't marked out so its a guessing game as to where to pitch your tent however if you have a short electric hook up you would be screwed as they arent placed next to your tent always.

The ground is also very uneven so expect your tent to be in a dip or on a mound.

The washing up shack only has 1 sink so you often had to queue to wash up. Then its pot luck if you get hot water.

To say this place is a wedding venue is shocking. Im not sure how anyone could be happy with the facilities for their guests!

Also the electric is only low voltage. Something you dont find out until you get here as there is no pre welcome email sent with check in details and FAQ.
The first night the electric went off on the whole campsite on a few occasions. When asking a staff member we were informed that it must be someone on sites fault for having a household appliance but surely the pitches electric hook up would trip not the whole campsite?! Not ideal when younare trying to cook and have people in your group that has a CPAP machine for sleeping therefore electric is essential!

Areal til telt med græs med elektricitet

Syntes om Absolutely beautiful campsite. The host was ready and waiting with all the information.. Facilities were clean and looked after. Pitches sizes perfect. No issues with electric hookups. There's WiFi. Lidl a 15 min drive away. Some cute little Saturday bonuses for kids but I won't spoil the surprises. The little stream is perfect. Loved ever second of this stay. Tip. Arrive that bit earlier for a stream side pitch if that's what you're going for and take some inflatables 💕

Syntes ikke om Nothing from the site. Some really disrespectful kids though leaving rubbish in toilets. Blocking toilets with pebbles & toilet roll all over the toilet floors.

Areal til telt med græs med elektricitet

Syntes om An absolute find !! Friendly and welcoming when we arrived. This place is the most beautiful and picturesque site I have ever visited. A wonderful place for families to enjoy making memories. The river is just perfect to dip your toes in and great for toddlers to play in. The washing up hut has 2 fridges and a freezer. I particularly liked the swings dotted around the site especially if you have young ones you can keep them in view without having to take them to the play area. So everyone is happy. We will definitely be back. The only drawback is the shower block needs updating. The cave bar was a bonus and even showed the England match on a huge screen a few WIFI issues but was resolved.
It is a little piece of paradise and only 20 minutes from Doncaster. A perfect weekend spent with family.

Lokale seværdigheder

The surrounding countryside has great places for walks and wildlife-spotting, with trails around the lakes and wetlands of Idle Valley Nature Reserve (15 minutes' drive) and lakes for fishing too. Then there's Sherwood Forest, 25 minutes away: some 450 acres of wildlife among ancient oak trees, alongside a wealth of biking and walking trails to take you through them. Adventure seekers can see it all from the treetops on ropes and wires at Go Ape, and the kids can clamber about at Robin Hood’s Hideout, an acclaimed natural play area. For family antics out of the forest, Sundown Adventure Park (20 minutes) has rides and themed playgrounds for the under-10s and families can also make tracks for Ferry Farm Country Park (45 minutes), to feed lambs, meet pigs and zoom about on go-karts and the adventure playground. An hour away and a major hub since Robin Hood's days, Nottingham still draws the crowds. Tour the castle and the caves, stop for a snifter in Ye Trip To Jerusalem (oldest pub in England, perhaps...), skate on ice at Motorpoint Arena and see what law and order meant in the Sheriff’s days at the National Justice Museum. For further historical wanderings, Creswell Crags presents an array of prehistoric caves in a cracking limestone gorge and Newark's castle, Air Museum and National Civil War Centre sum up the centuries very entertainingly, all around half an hour away.
