Nice fishing lake recently stocked with 600 mirror carp up to 6lb . Great pub round the corner.
The host Mark was very helpful and accommodating "he had everything that we forgot" .
Can't wait to go back

A aimé : Lots of space lovely area, if your into fishing lovely

N'a pas aimé: Facilities not amazing, woke up at 3am with dogs barking next to us, gate on entry if you ain't careful you will hit the keypad with your caravan, people with dogs should be set apart from people without there is space to do this

A aimé : Fantastic campsite located in a quiet area of Lower Marnham close to the tidal River Trent. A lovely small fishing lake which is well looked after with improvements set to adjust pegs following recent floods.

Martin was great and looked after the communal areas to a high standard.

New benches and a characterful ‘Bus Bar’ had just arrived which served as an on site bar serving alcohol for those wishing to relax with a few beverages.

N'a pas aimé: Campsite type is listed as “Tiny (1-10 pitches)

This is not the case. I would say there are between 12-15 hard pitch with electrical hookup along with a further 10-15 grass pitch with electrical hookup. Including a number of “off grid” pitches also.

This wasn’t a problem but if you are expecting a tiny site with few pitches, please be aware.

A aimé : Large pitch
Martin the warden couldn't do enough to help
Within walking distance of village
Fishing included in pitch fee bonus
If you want piece and quiet this is the place to be
Will return later in the year

N'a pas aimé: At the moment new toilet block under construction otherwise current facilities a little basic if the site was full
Other than that a good few days

A aimé : Brilliant space, very friendly owners. Dog friendly! Good for short dog walk. Worth its price. If you like fishing, ideal spot.

N'a pas aimé: Maybe only criticism: toilet cubicles rather small and very low toilet

A aimé : Plenty of space. Quiet during the day. Friendly staff. Clean same-sex toilets.

N'a pas aimé: Site was hard to find; we had to phone for directions. Would suggest adding more directions on pitchup and/or adding to Google maps.

There was some noise at night from a nearby factory which kept us awake.

No bins. A bin for dog waste would be useful for this dog-friendly site.

Only reason we don’t plan to return is due to the unpleasant smell that came and went a few times throughout our stay (we live in the countryside and don’t think it was manure) - perhaps a nearby septic tank or drainage issue? Otherwise would have been a 5 star from us.

A aimé : Great location, spacious pitches, friendly and very welcoming, well looked after, simple but very clean facilities, close to an excellent pub (Brownlow Arms). Pretty much perfect...

N'a pas aimé: Only dislike, awful smell when the wind is in the wrong direction from a chicken processing plant. Can't blame the site but if I was either a business or resident around there I'd be complaining like mad to the Environments Agency. Only downside to the site.
