  • Quiet camping on a small South Yorkshire equestrian farm
  • Conisbrough Castle 10 minutes' drive; Sheffield 30 minutes
  • Secure, gated site with CCTV off a quiet country lane
The Bunker, a small-scale campsite based in the green fields of a South Yorkshire equestrian centre, has a sought-after mix indeed: a quiet, rural location away from busy roads, it's also just a five-minute drive from the A1(M) motorway. Located just under a mile from the small village of Sprotbrough and roughly three miles from the centre of Doncaster, The Bunker is within easy walking distance of a butcher's shop, a wine bar, a coffee shop and a kids' play area. Sprotborough also gives access to the traffic-free path that runs along the river Don. Other places to explore locally like Cusworth Hall (five minutes' drive) and Conisbrough Castle (10 minutes) are within easy reach too. The Bunker is a simple site, with portable toilets available for guests. Barbecues are allowed here, and sometimes local produce is sold, so catering won't be an issue. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. The Bunker (appropriately enough, given the name) is a safe and secure site: the fields are gated and secured at night, and CCTV is in operation.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Nothing

Disliked Arrived at the site, lots of threatening signage advising burglars should carry details of their next of kin, but decided from a distance that the place looked pretty peaceful. Called the number to obtain the code for the gate, no answer just a very rude voicemail message advising not to leave voicemail.
Text to advise at gate and need code, waited 20 minutes and had no response despite a couple more calls being made. Decided to go to a lovely fishing lake 15 minutes up the road for the night.
Site owner finally messaged back 3 hours later with the no code and no apology!
