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 We had a large pitch tucked away which was great for us.

On a whole the site does what it says on tin!

Be mindful Hatfield doesn’t really have a town to walk around we walked in which was a nice walk through a big field but other than 2/3 pubs there isn’t anything else. We ate in the bay horse which was spot on but I’d recommend booking.

You can hear the motorway we knew this was a possibility due to the location, through the day it wasn’t an issue but if your a light sleeper take earplugs.

Disliked Not necessarily disliked but improvements could be made:
- the showers would benefit from a thorough clean not just a mop out (the mop is also filthy) the floor and walls need a good scrub. If this happened the facilities would be spot on. Have some squeegees available for people to use to help keep the floors dryer and therefore cleaner.

- toilet rolls need to be replenished in the cafe/bar area more frequently and the bins emptied.

- we searched all over for some bricks to raise the disposable BBQ off the ground, if each water point had a small stack it would be much better improved.

- whilst we didn’t partake so this is purely observation only, usually activities such as the climbing wall are lead by enthusiastic instructors but I have to say the kids looked bored and there was zero enthusiasm heard or seen I’d be disappointed if I’d signed my kids up to it.

Great family campsite

Liked Clean lovely family campsite, great facilities and feel you can let the kids wander off safely as it’s not too big, the lake is great for activities and the deal they had on with the inflatable aqua park with buy one get one half price, meant it wasn’t too expensive. The camp shop is a great little shop and seem to think of everything .. and the cafe/window hutch serving food was a hit with my kids who loved their curly fries and pizza

Nice spot

Liked Staff were friendly and helpful, clean and nice hot showers . Plenty for kids to do and a nice secure setting to allow kids to explore whilst being able to see them. We come back every year. The pitch has always been respected and quiet at night and water park is a huge hit with the kids .

Disliked More choice of beer for the husband on offer 😜 also the price increase from my last stay wasn't great. £50 a night for just me and my children in a touring caravan .

Nice quiet site Single mum with 1 x 6 Yr old Felt very safe…

Liked Nice quiet site
Single mum with 1 x 6 Yr old
Felt very safe and secure
Cafe for essentials, limited menu but handy
Lovely lake and paddleboard experience
Staff very friendly and informative
Clean and warm, manned shower block
Well lit with couple of small play areas for children

Disliked Could do with couple more bins around the site and maybe more extensive menu at the cafe.. but then we are beginner campers so once we get used to alfresco cooking it'll be less needed.. :)

Great site, great activities and friendly staff.

Liked Really big pitches.
Busy but quiet site. Everyone respected the rules etc.
really great activities on site, well ran and the staff were really friendly.

The aqua park was so fun, and the staff really knew what they were doing.

Staff often seen in the toilets cleaning -
Although sometimes she would finish cleaning… yet everywhere wasn’t clean?
Almost half a job?
On a whole the toilets and showers were good though. Quite long timer showers too. Also we liked that they were large toilet and showers in a room together meaning so much space to get a family changed and dry etc.

We’l be back for sure!!

Liked Great family camp site. Lovely space surrounded by trees for privacy and shelter. HUGE pitches, very comfortable and spacious. Facilities cleaned regularly, with super friendly and helpful staff. Great morning spent on the water park. Small, but well-stocked shop. No complaints - we had a wonderful time!
