  • A 10-minute walk to the local town of Hatfield
South Yorkshire activity seekers: sorted. Hatfield Outdoor Activity Centre and Campsite on the outskirts of Doncaster has quite the heap of active options on site – and is in an area with plenty more in the surrounds, from golf to hiking to hurtling around indoors at the Doncaster Dome. The active options on site are land and water based, and include courses, group sessions, team building, parties, canoeing and outdoor swimming. Or you could just use the site as a base to potter around Doncaster and South Yorkshire, or as an overnight stopover easy to access because of its nifty links to the national motorway network. This site is family friendly, with facilities including a toilet and shower block, a chemical disposal point, a washing-up area and a deep sink for clothes washing. A play area and vending machines are also on site. It's a 10-minute walk to the old town of Hatfield, where supplies can be picked up at the local newsagent, post office, mini-market and off-licence and bakery; there are also restaurants and pubs for all manner of eats and drinks. Responsible dog owners are welcome at the site.

Liked: The parks on site were great and the shop was really good value for money! Having the activities on site is great too!

Disliked: There needs to be more facilities. Both mornings I had to stand in a long que for the toilet. There needs to be more individual toilets on there own without showers. The pitch could be raked to move big rock and sticks

Liked: Amazing campsite especially for young children. It was our first time camping and we loved it. Amenities were plentiful, toilets and shower facilities were clean and keep clean throughout the day. Staff were very helpful. Lovely little shop. We did Paddleboarding, Aqua park and the golden did wall climbing and we throughly enjoyed every activity. I world really recommend this camp site for families with young children, my children made lots of new friends and fun memories.

Disliked: Quite bright with all the lighting at night with some of the electrical point lighting shining directly in your pitch. Close to motorway so you have s little traffic noise at night.

Liked: Great location to visit York, Doncaster, Hull, Sheffield Activities on site were well run and enjoyable Facilities were clean, shop was open good hours Very friendly and welcoming staff Good playground for kids

Disliked: Queues for toilets at shower time were a little long on a few days since all the toilets have showers in them Climbing, archery were quite short sessions for the price Just a suggestion, might be good to give campers a discount on the activities to encourage uptake!
