A aimé possible to just book one night at the weekend as a stopover, lots of space in the camping field, well-maintained shower and toilet block

N'a pas aimé Noise till after midnight, very close to main train line, paying for showers

A aimé Well kept site. Clean, tidy and very quiet. Plenty of space for your tent and the amenities were very good. I didn’t use the cafe but it looked very nice.

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike.

A aimé Well staffed and clean with good brick toilet shower block. Relaxed atmosphere. Close to Wolsley centre for wildlife, canal, river Trent and a good pub.

A aimé The pitches were excellent—level, very spacious, and ideal for a comfortable setup. There were great options for kids, including a nice play park, and the relaxed rules made the stay enjoyable. We also appreciated that barbecues and campfires were allowed.

N'a pas aimé The experience was let down by the toilet and shower facilities, which were clearly overwhelmed and insufficient for the number of guests. Management did apologize during check-in, which almost felt like they anticipated these issues. Showers cost £1 for 5 minutes, but the water pressure was so poor (barely dripping) that you’d need several coins just to have a reasonable shower. For what was provided, the charges felt unjustified—especially when many campsites offer far better facilities for free.

To make matters worse, the water supply stopped working on all three days of our stay. While the campsite has great potential, it simply couldn’t cope with the bank holiday rush. Perhaps things would be different on quieter days, but based on our experience during peak season, there’s a lot of room for improvement.

A aimé Clean and tidy, showers clean, fishing

N'a pas aimé the site was packed and some very noisy campers with a PA system which is not needed as not all the site wants to listen to them, there kids didn't care about hitting our motorhome with their ball,
Will come back but when no events are on

A aimé Big open family space that was quiet after 11.
Friendly staff

N'a pas aimé Showers didn't work and were dirty. Not much signs of cleaning anywhere, some m very unpleasant smells around the site.

£1 coin for a 5 minute shower and it didn't work. Almost no water came out.

Two male and female showers for the whole of two massive fields crammed with tents and other campers.

A aimé We stayed at Carney Pools Camping and Caravanning for 3 days and 2 nights and had a great experience. The site is very spacious, with plenty of room for camping and for children to play. The toilets and shower facilities were very clean and well-maintained. There’s also a supermarket just an 8-minute drive away, making it very convenient for supplies. The site manager was very friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

N'a pas aimé One small downside is that the on-site shop has limited choices, so you may need to drive out for more supplies. Also, there is no shared fridge available.

A aimé The play area in the middle of the field was great. I could keep an eye on child while in the van.
Close to railway line. Child loved this and the noise wasn’t a problem.

N'a pas aimé Could do with more showers and toilets.
