What customers say
Spacious site near Notts & Water Sports Centre. Pitches big, well-kept. Staff friendly. Clean & family-friendly, but toilets/showers dated & need more cleaning. Noise & guest behaviour sometimes an issue. Many would return.

Made my life a lot easier being close to the water.

Liked The location was spot on as an athlete taking part in the outlaw weekend. Showers were fantastic.
Disliked We couldn't see the signs for waste water and being right down the far end of the site, made it a bit of a trek, even more so with the elsan. unable to connect to wifi, couldn't access the site at all.

From the manager: Dear Guest
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the setting, the spacious pitch, and the facilities during your stay.
We're very sorry to learn about the damage to your vehicle and appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention.
We would like to clarify that the height barrier is manned for 12 hours each day, and information about the barrier being lowered during operating hours is included in our arrival email. The barrier is in place to help prevent unauthorised access to the site and ensure the safety and security of our guests.
During these hours, a member of our team is based in the shop monitoring the barrier, which is clearly visible from that location when it is in the lowered position. We are sorry that you felt unsupported on arrival, as this is not the impression we want our guests to have. We will share your comments with the team to reinforce the importance of proactively assisting guests approaching the entrance whenever possible.
Thank you again for your feedback. Guest comments are invaluable in helping us review our procedures and improve the experience we provide.

Liked Loved the campsite in general, great space!
It was situated perfectly to the rowing lake.
Disliked Not enough toilets but those that were there were clean.
We were a family camping for a rowing event and were put in the section with 20 somethings who were partying…
The shop wasn’t very good and didn’t even have bread

From the manager: Dear Guest
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed the campsite overall, appreciated the space, and found our location convenient for the rowing lake.
We're also grateful for your comments, as they help us improve. I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with the shop. We do stock bread, but it's kept in the freezer rather than on the shelves. We made this change because, when we stocked fresh bread, very little of it sold and we ended up with a lot of waste. We appreciate that this isn't very obvious, so we'll certainly look at making it clearer for future guests.
Thank you as well for your comments regarding the toilet facilities and pitch allocation. We always do our best to balance bookings, and we'll take your feedback on board as we continue to improve our guests' experience.
We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Liked Vicinity to the national watersport centre. Plenty of space on pitch.
Disliked We were in the Rafters field. We stayed Saturday to Monday for an event. The shower/toilet block was not cleaned over the entire weekend so come Monday am it was grim.

Overall, a lovely place to visit. But we maybe wouldn't be back.
Powered grass site
Liked Location. The country park is lovely and plenty to see and do. Kids enjoyed it. It was our first ever camping experience so we didn't have huge hopes and was only doing one night to dip our toes in.
Disliked Busy, but that was because there was an event on the weekend we stayed. So no ones fault really.
Some of the toilets didn't flush well and the bathroom facilities maybe need a small revamp. They were ok, adequate for our needs, as we only stayed one night.
Few rowdy people till half ten but when the sun went down, it was quiet.
We were placed right next to a wasp nest which was very awkward. But to be honest, our car was parked between the tent and it, so in fairness they didn't really get in or bother us too much. And I hate wasps so I would have been the first to run a mile.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback following your stay with us.
We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your first ever camping experience and that the location, country park, and activities available helped make it a positive introduction to camping. It's lovely to hear that the children enjoyed themselves too.
We appreciate your understanding regarding the site being busier than usual due to an event taking place during your stay. We understand that event weekends can naturally be a little livelier, and we're pleased to hear that things settled down later in the evening.
Thank you also for your honest comments regarding the toilet facilities and the wasp nest. We're sorry for the inconvenience this caused, especially with young children with you. If possible, could you please email us with the pitch number you were staying on? This will allow us to investigate the location of the wasp nest and ensure it is checked and dealt with appropriately.
We will also review your comments regarding the toilet facilities and continue to look at ways we can improve the facilities and overall guest experience.
We're pleased that, despite these issues, you enjoyed your visit and had a good first camping experience. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we wish you many more enjoyable camping adventures in the future.
