  • Well-maintained and peaceful campsite on a South Yorkshire farm
  • Yorkshire Wildlife Park 15 minutes’ drive; Messingham Zoo half an hour
  • Grass pitches; wildlife on site; fishing and golf 20 minutes’ drive
When what you want is a bit of peace on a rural South Yorkshire hideaway, you’re covered with a stay at Pond Farm Campsite, a couple of minutes’ drive outside the rural village of Graizelound and 25 minutes from the shops, restaurants, racecourse and cinema of lively Doncaster. As you’ve probably guessed from the name, the pitches are on a working farm, and there are gorgeous countryside views to take in wherever you look. Keep your eyes peeled when on site for local wildlife too, including brown hares in spring, elusive deer and birds of prey. Dogs are welcomed here, so bring them along to share in your ambles along quiet lanes bordering the River Trent straight from the pitches. Simple and well-maintained facilities on the spacious and level camping field include a dedicated waste-removal area, drinking water and a no-frills loo. Barbecues are permitted on site, and you can buy grilling supplies from the convenience store in nearby Haxey (five minutes).

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The space to pitch, you could choose anywhere over the 2 fields. The facilities were fantastic, clean and well maintained.

Disliked: The fact that the road adjacent to the site suddenly got a heck of a lot busier at night. We hardly slept due to the noise....all...night....long.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Shower is actually there.

Disliked: NOT peaceful and NOT beautiful views! Based right next to busy road and railway, places is very laud and busy including extremely laud English family with their children riding motor bike between tents at 8am in the morning. None there to monitor what is happening. Toilet door broken, no way to lock.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: That is your view and sorry you had a bad visit the toilet door has now been fixed but no one had made us aware! I cannot stop children playing we are a family friendly site that is what you expect here and we are here day in day out we leave everyone to there own devices and walk round when needed to see everyone any issues visitors can come to the house and speak with us sorry you didn’t enjoy but we don’t fit everyone

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Lovely spot, friendly hosts, plenty of room, great pubs and walks near by.

Disliked: Road was fairly noisy until about 10/11pm. An owl made a racket in nearby woods at one point in night but all part of the joys of nature!

Local attractions

Days out with the kids will probably include Yorkshire Wildlife Park (15 minutes’ drive), where you can take walking safaris through a reserve that’s home to big cats, zebras and giraffes, while younger children will adore the cheeky meerkats, wallabies and ostriches at Messingham Zoo (half an hour). Further afield, there are sharks and rays to admire at The Deep (50 minutes). There’s plenty to keep you all active and entertained in the fresh air too, with a couple of golf courses and fishing lakes being within 20 minutes’ drive, and track days at Blyton Park Race Track (25 minutes) to keep petrol heads happy. Hit a rainy day? Head for Doncaster (25 minutes), where there’s a cinema, vintage planes in the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum and a heady mix of heritage steam trains and contemporary art at the futuristic Danum Gallery, Library and Museum. Weather cleared up again? Back a winner at Doncaster Racecourse, host of the St Leger Festival in September and with racing all year round.
