Gunthorpe Camping

Likte The pitch was flat, and the local area was fantastic.

Likte ikke I hate giving anyone a bad review, but there’s a lot that could (and should!) be done that takes little effort when running a campsite. Whilst our pitch was indeed flat, that’s the only plus. It was littered with dried dog poos on arrival. All showers were filthy with thick black mould on the shower mats. The men’s showers literally trickled water at best, but the ladies were apparently really powerful. The waste area had rubbish not only in the bins but everywhere else too, and this was one of the first things you see upon arrival. The Elsan point. Well not only had little thought gone into the setup, it was caked in ‘mess’ all around the outside and beyond. And what’s the stagnant trough doing next to it?? And whilst you might think that little of the above was caused by the lack of attention by the owners, not once did we see anything being cleaned and all the above described mess that was very clearly evident on arrival was exactly the same as we left. So whilst I’m sorry for the poor review, it’s totally honest and it’s something that was easily avoided.
Oh, and one of your previous reviewers said that the bushes either side of the entrance need to be cut back. Well if they have been then there’s still a way to go! Nobody expects to scuff scrape their caravan or camper entering and exiting the campsite.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your one-night stay with us this past weekend.
We are sorry to hear that your brief visit did not meet your expectations. As you arrived late on Saturday evening during a fully booked weekend at peak capacity, our facilities experienced heavy use between scheduled cleaning times.
Regarding the waste area, local roadworks unfortunately prevented our scheduled council collections from taking place; whilst we did our best to manage the situation and keep the area tidy we understand this was not ideal.
Because we strive to provide a relaxing, high-standard experience for all our guests—and given that a single-night stay during our busiest period didn’t allow you the time to properly enjoy what our site has to offer—we feel it would be best for you to book with an alternative campsite for any future travels.

Likte Lovely spacious pitch which was very clean. Great communication when it came to arrival date. Definitely booking again for a return visit.

Likte A very basic campsite. Only 2 ladies showers, so there was a wait time during busy periods. Showers were only basic. There were some apple trees and a lot of windfalls which have rotted and been smashed as had been driven over, it would have been nice if these were cleared.

Likte * Lovely little campsite.
* Stayed from Monday to Friday.
* Toilet and shower block was clean and perfectly adequate.
* The first few nights were peaceful, quiet and relaxing.
* Overall, a nice site with good facilities.

Likte ikke * On Thursday night, new arrivals let the stay down.
* Several dogs were off their leads, despite this apparently not being allowed.
* Dogs were running around the site and barking at everyone and everything.
* The barking continued until around 11pm and then started again just after 6am.
* Unfortunately, this experience has put us off returning to the site.

Likte Great little basic site. Family friendly, lovely owners, great location, pubs and restaurants all within walking distance. Will definitely return.

Likte ikke Tight access could do with the bushes and trees trimming back.
Lots of loose apples around site and kids batting them around cars etc.

Likte Great site location with a canal, plenty of great walks nearby and lots of places to eat within walking distance. Site owner didn’t keep bothering us which is always a win and there was plenty of space for me and my group to expand into without any fuss. Area was behind a key code locked gate which meant we didn’t have loads of randoms constantly walking around. Toilets and showers were cleaned daily from what could see and the general cleanliness of the area for litter was good. There were lots of bench/table type seats dotted around the campsite which were moveable which made our lives a little easier for table space for the groups. Any issues we had were also quickly resolved by the site owner without issue, example we had an issue with the hook up for one of our two pitches the site owner happily brought over a splitter when we informed her it wasn’t working and we shared the one socket the men’s showers also ran out of gas on one of the nights but informed and was fixed next day again quickly and without fuss. Area had plenty of trees for shade during the hot days which was nice as it was super hot the whole time we were there.

Likte ikke Site was very dry with only dead yellow grass when we visited not green like the photos. Didn’t make the stay unbearable but everything was covered in dead grass most of the trip. My tent was also unluckily on top of a ants nest with some mornings 100’s of ants in my tent in the morning which I hadn’t prepaired for but would do in the future, my partners tent didn’t have the same issues so assume I was just the unlucky one for the area.

Likte Really helpful and responded quickly to communications and requestes. Greatr location.

Likte ikke Disabled access a little tricky.
There was a lot of rubbish near the entrance which detracted from the overall appearance.
