Willow Tree non-electric grass tent or touring caravan pitch (large)

Liked: The pitch was large, with plenty of choice. There was a picnic table already there which was really useful. The pitch is far enough away that you rarely get disturbed by the noise of the farm equipment or the animals. The Willow Tree pitch is not far at all from the facilities, the bins are clearly marked and recycling is encouraged. The owners are sweet and very nice people, they leave you alone for the most part as they are busy. If you see them, they will chat to you and we got some advice about the local area. Our pitch in the back corner was perfectly level, the ground was well maintained too.

Disliked: We were left for 45 mins without response in person or via phone when we first arrived. The owners were elsewhere working, but the number provided wasn’t for a mobile, just a landline (where nobody was in). The owner did come and apologise as soon as they came back. The toilets and shower are perfectly adequate but they appear to rarely be cleaned. They are full of cobwebs and dirt. We showered regardless and the water was nice and hot, but it was difficult to find anywhere to dry off that was clean enough. The pitch is next to the road, but it wasn’t very busy, a few cars an hour mostly. If you are extremely sensitive to sound and will be woken up/annoyed by the noise it is worth considering. This is a working farm, you will hear the pigs having arguments from time to time (or getting on a bit too well). It’s not disturbing from the distance we were at, but again if you were particularly sensitive it is worth considering. Finally, there was a massive spotlight on one of the far buildings that shone right at our pitch. This was probably the most disturbing thing, as it obstructs the view of the sky, but also shines through the tent. We thought it would turn off, but it was on throughout the night.

Stile non-electric grass tent or touring caravan pitch (XL)

Liked: Saw some ridiculous reviews about farm vehicles, car traffic and the distance to the toilet. This is a lovely, basic campsite adjoining a working farm - of course there will be minimal farm traffic/work commencing . We did not experience anything that made our stay unpleasant - lovely grass areas with plenty of space, toilet/shower-block fully functioning with hot water, road traffic is minimal.

Electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: A very nice quiet site set in a orchard with very pleasant hosts. Witnessed a hours' old heifer calf born during the night. I would also recommend the farm breakfast . Use what3 words to find site as Sat Nav stops short of site.⁰

Stile non-electric grass tent or touring caravan pitch (XL)

Liked: This really is a hidden gem. The site is a wonderful place to stay. We booked this site as we were passing Newark and wanted somewhere to stay but we enjoyed it that much we will definitely be back to stay again. It’s exceptionally clean and I love the fruit trees between the pitches. It has all the facilities you need, pot washing with hot water, clean toilet and shower area. The owners were so friendly and welcoming, they really do make this such a great place to stay. We couldn’t believe we were lucky enough to get a tour of the farm and I think I enjoyed it just as much as the kids! We even got to see the calf in the morning that was born over night. Thank you for such a great stay.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike here

Local attractions

Nearby are the British Horological Institute at Upton, with its huge collection of clocks, watches and other timepieces, and Newark Showground, where you can pick up bargainous bits at one of its regular antique fairs. Plenty of history is also over at Lincoln half an hour's drive away – must-sees while you're there include the castle and cathedral, and nearby the National Trust properties of Grantham House and Tattershall Castle are both worthy of a half-day trip. Newark, famed for its starring role in the English Civil War, is another tiptop spot: wander the exhibits of the National Civil War Centre and take the Nottinghamshire Civil War Trail to key locations around the town and several of Nottinghamshire's other historic hotspots. Newark also has a weekly market and regular medieval jousting weekends.
