Liked Just the ideal place to recharge batteries. Peaceful, quiet, clean and tidy. Never crowded and no music or neon lights just like minded campers. Toilets and showers always clean and tidy and there is now a communal fridge available. A couple of pubs a short walk away in the village, one serves excellent food.

Disliked Nothing

Liked Second visit here and once again not disappointed. Clean and well stocked toilet and shower block, the showers are brilliant especially after a day cooking in a heatwave. The non electric grass pitch was spacious and level with lovely views.

Disliked A little traffic noise from the road alongside but nothing to dislike about tge actual site.

From the manager: Hi Allie, Thank you for the review 😃 we're glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to seeing you again soon! TMV 🏕

Liked A lovely secluded site with a couple of basic but very clean little huts housing flushing toilets alongside two small but perfectly adequate shower huts. The hot water was a bonus after returning from a long hike. The site itself has plenty of pitches to choose from, we booked a non hook up grass campervan pitch and had plenty of space around us even though the site was technically full. There is a choice of more sheltered pitches backing onto a wooded area or a little higher up the field where you can watch the sun setting over the Trent Valley. Access to both areas was OK even after a week of wet weather. Lots of great walking and cycling routes starting close to the site, the 30 minute walk to Gunthorpe riverside was pleasant where there are several nice pubs to choose from plus an Indian restaurant too. Will definitely be returning but worth remembering to bring a torch as the lights in the toilets are solar powered and can be a little dim.

Liked Beautiful countryside, easy to find, lots to do in the area including easy walking and cycling routes with direct access from the camp. Facilities clean and tidy, lovely shower.

Disliked Couldn't get on allocated pitch as large motorhome had spread out over the pitch so selected a vacant one and that was fine. Paid for firewood in advance but couldn't find out how to get it?

From the manager: Hi Allie, Were glad you enjoyed your visit. Sorry to hear about the motorhome, unfortunately we were away when you visited and our site was busy (website failure). We would have sorted this for sure. Regarding the wood, sorry about that we have the wood ready for you when you arrive, it must have been missed. When you visit again drop us an email and we will get you a fire pit and wood for you stay FOC :) TMV 🏕️

Liked A second visit here and not disappointed. Good sized hard standing plots all with a nice grassed area alongside. Quite and peaceful. Clean and well maintained toilet and shower block with small covered pot wash area. Great little caravan selling basic essentials and quirky little gifts. Lovely text from owners prior to arrival giving lots of information regarding site information and local area.

Disliked Some of the plots are not very level but ramps are provided free of charge.

Liked Great communication from the owners giving lots of information on the site prior to our visit. Loved that it was a small site offering a maximum of 8 hardstanding campervan spaces all with a little well maintained grass area and electric hookup. Booking was straightforward and the site itself was easy to find just off the A47 but far enough away so as not to be bothered by traffic noise. The main noise coming from the resident pheasant population and a couple of very acrobatic squirrels. The small pods available to hire looked lovely and cosy with a veranda to sit out and watch the array of wildlife. The toilets and pot washing area were all very clean, well lit at night and the showers were absolutely superb. We loved the little caravan selling a few basic provisions and local gifts, the honey was especially good. Plenty of good walking and cycling routes available taking in the surrounding villages and lovely countryside. There are two pubs in Houghton both within walking distance.

Disliked Wanting to balance my review but to be honest there was nothing to dislike.

Liked Spectacular views and a great base for some walks. The pub is a 20 minute walk away but mostly downhill so a good uphill walk on the way back! Toilets basic but clean and functional. The hot shower was a lovely surprise, Communication with the owners was good, always being quick to respond.

Disliked A difficult drive up to the campsite for larger campers as a few hairpin turns.
