What customers say

Lovely spot with a stream, great for families. Kids love the play areas and stream. Staff are friendly. Facilities are a bit basic and sometimes crowded/noisy when busy, with toilets needing a refresh.

Powered grass tent site

Liked The site is great with the perfect river going through my 9 and 12 year old played all day everyday for 3 days

Disliked Needs more showers and bar would benefit from being open every day

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review
We are working on some new showers at the moment behind the green toilets on the tipi side of the river - they just aren’t quite ready yet.
We wish we could open the bar everyday but unfortunately we are only a small family run business and it isn’t cost effective to have it open everyday.
Thanks

Luxury 1 bedroom cabin

Liked Lovely location, big cabin with plenty of space, bathroom nice and big , shower toiletries nice touch.
Netflix on TV and YouTube was a bonus
Lots of space around for kids to play

Disliked We have been 3 times and loved it everytime, but this time round The cabin was left from the people before, as was a mucky nike white sock in the bed and the other under the sofa bed when we pulled it out for the kids to sleep on... tea towels had food all over them and was screwed up on the top shelf and was no clean ones ( I take my own, so it wasn't a problem) ... the fire pit outside had dog food in, so we didn't use it, and the outdoor sofa was that mucky it couldn't be sat on, so we just had the picnic bench to sit at.. so take your own camping chairs if u want to sit outside comfortably.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked This is just a lovely camp site, this is the second visit we've had and I'm sure there'll be more.

The facilities are great, fridges, washing up area, shower and toilets located around site. It never feels too busy so lots of space to pitch up.

The kids love the river with the swings and zipline going across, and also the fishing

Recommend to friends Visit again

Gorgeous site, with the best river for kids to play in!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Visited with the kids (13, 10, & 6) and their cousins (7, & 5). Second time for the group, and we lucked out with the weather again. Kids adored playing in the stream all week, and the parents enjoyed that too!
Extra shower in the ladies was very useful, as were the bonus toilets by the wedding tent. It would be a struggle without them.

Disliked Unfortunately the washing up facilities could do with a bit of a glow up. Last year there was a bin in the cabin, and whilst I get that enticed some guests to leave their rubbish there, a sign to remind people where the bins are, and a little grey bin for food scraps would have helped avoid the sink getting blocked and encourage other guests to clean up after themselves.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Veyr pretty idyllic setting, with a fast flowing shallow river running through the site and mature trees providing shade and character. Very peaceful at the quiet time I visited. Would be great for fmailies with young kids playing in the stream etc Facilities are ok - not many showers which could be an issue if the site was busy and a lack of bins on site,

Disliked we were told to put a bit of old kingspan under our fire pit, which promptly caught fire and we had to drag it out. On the day of our arrival a member of staff was playing loud music in the tepee for no apparent reason and we had to ask them to turn it down

Powered grass tent site

Liked The surroundings, grounds and children’s play area over the water.
The BBQ provided for a small extra fee, the staff and the bar.

Disliked Facilities are the only thing that let the site down for us. Showers not draining, really hard to move around in the toilet/showers block. Floor was sopping wet all the time and I didn’t see anyone cleaning them whilst we were there over the weekend. Only two female showers for whole site.

Excellent site-staff need to enforce rules for child safety/more loos

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The site and stream were absolutely beautiful.
Strict rules for guests to keep it safe for children.

Disliked On our visit there was one tent of adults near us. They had loud music and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier which was off lead a lot of the time. Nothing was done about this until the dog attacked a chicken in front of children. They were told by staff to remove the dog, which they did, however they then got friends round, started smoking cannabis and more loud music and shouting until 2am. Really spoilt the ambience and family nature of the site.

Also need more toilets 2 men’s, 2 female and 1 disabled was not enough for the busy weekend.

Local attractions

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.
