Walesby Forest

Polubione We had a fantastic stay at Walesby Forest. We loved the large open spaces, which gave my child plenty of room to run around and explore safely. The activities were great and kept my child entertained throughout our stay. Particularly enjoyed the water activities.

The campsite was tidy, and had a lovely family-friendly atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we would definitely recommend it to other families looking for a fun camping trip. We can’t wait to come back!

Niepolubione There were a few areas that could be improved. The bar could benefit from a more friendly and lively atmosphere, as it currently feels quite basic. The on-site shop also closes quite early, and with the main gate closing at 8.30pm, it would be great to have a pizza or takeaway option available on site for convenience.

Due to the weather, no BBQs or fires were allowed, which is understandable, but it did mean there wasn’t much to do in the evenings other than stay in the tent.

The toilet and shower facilities felt quite dated and could do with a revamp. The showers also turn off too quickly, and the lighting going off unexpectedly was inconvenient; simple manual light switches would be a big improvement. The swimming pool is a nice addition, but it is not heated and was extremely cold, although still enjoyable on a hot day.

The changing and shower areas at the pool were also quite cramped, with limited space to sit or store belongings, which made getting changed difficult.

Overall, it’s a great campsite with a lot of potential, but it would really benefit from investment in modernising the facilities, especially the showers and changing areas. With a few improvements, it could be an outstanding destination.

Polubione Absolutely love the sight. The big pitches are just great, gives so much personal space.
Lots of choice of activities for the kids and of course the free swimming pool is great.

Niepolubione We have stayed here before (4 years ago )
And we were so impressed with the level of cleanliness in the toilet/ shower blocks but unfortunately this time not so impressed. The toilets and sinks were kept clean but the surrounding areas not so this time. The cubicles and doors had the same dirty marks on them the whole time we were there. To me this really makes a difference in how you judge a level of cleanliness.

Polubione We had a great stay at this campsite. The staff at the reception were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our time here.

Niepolubione The main issue was that it was very difficult to find our designated pitch. Several other guests I spoke with experienced the same problem, so clearer signage would be very helpful.

The biggest downside of this campsite is the condition of the toilets and showers. They were in very poor condition and not clean enough. I am not a particularly demanding guest, but I believe the sanitary facilities should be maintained to a much higher standard.

Overall, the campsite is great and we enjoyed our stay. However, the management should focus more on renovating and keeping the toilets and showers clean, as this would significantly improve the overall experience.

Polubione Fantastic facilities: clean showers, hot water for washing up, and an on-site swimming pool/activities (pre-book wristbands in advance).
​Great food options: on-site bar with lush pizzas, plus handy shop for essentials.
​Location: huge site with plenty of space, and only a 20-minute walk to Walesby's local pubs.

Niepolubione ​Pitch layout and marking: The system caused chaos when new arrivals came in—people got bunched up in one corner, leaving the middle space unused. Clearer markings would make a huge difference.
​EHU distances: Bring a minimum 25m cable! Points aren't clearly tagged/numbered to pitches, so you may need a long reach even if parked near a post.
​Watch out for ants on-site—keep food sealed tight!
