What customers say

Peaceful, off-grid camping in beautiful scenery with fishing lakes. Staff are super friendly and helpful, lots of wildlife. Basic, but sufficient facilities. Train noise is rare, mostly just nature sounds. Perfect for a relaxing break outdoors.

Christine R.

Non-electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Easy to find, very accommodating, everyone friendly, not overcrowded, peaceful surroundings, trains passing by, fire pits, logs, etc, available for extra charge, slept well, hit on lucky with the weather.

Disliked Turning is just off the main road so be vigilant entering/exiting and some might not like the composting toilets though we found them clean and well maintained.

Non-electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Willow Garth was a lovely little spot with friendly staff and a clean, welcoming area. I'd never been fishing before and everyone was super helpful and made sure I was comfortable and enjoying my stay. I honestly couldn't fault them and would recommend a stay for anyone wanting a fun camping weekend! There was no wifi but good signal

Paul M.

Non-electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful fishing lakes completely off grid, I was given a place in island in the middle with fellow campers. Parked next to tent facing back lake. Made to feel very welcome from staff, compost toilets short walk away. Paths around whole side with eco building and outside kitchen and group fire circle. Allowed to use my own fire pit, wood and fuel brought from site for a tenner, even lent me a lighter as forgot mine. Slept great little noise apart from occasional train and church bells

Disliked Having to leave and not having a week here

Local attractions

Looking for gentle family strolls? Situated on a former colliery, Bentley Community Woodland (five minutes’ drive) provides a splash of green among the suburbs of Doncaster, with woodland walks and cycling trails around the reservoir. There are more peaceful hikes to be had at Thorpe Marsh Nature Reserve, or you can meander around the manicured grounds at Georgian-era Cusworth Hall Museum and Park (both 10 minutes). If the kids are getting restless, take them to jump around at Go Bounce Extreme Trampoline Park (15 minutes), or go extreme on the endurance trails at Uncle Eddies Motocross Park (five minutes). When quieter sports are called for, there are several golf courses within 20 minutes’ drive, and if you’d rather someone else put in all the effort, Doncaster Racecourse (15 minutes) has a year-round schedule of racing. There are several big-hitting attractions nearby too: have a potter around the ever-changing outdoor installations at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (45 minutes), or admire vast collections of armour and watch jousting sessions at the Royal Armouries (50 minutes). A little further afield, you can visit the museums and minster in York, or The Deep aquarium in Hull (both around an hour).
