There was a good welcome and I could choose to pitch where I wanted. The staff were very helpful about my daughter joining me in her campervan, and about borrowing a fire pit.
Toilets and showers were well cleaned regularly.
Lovely area, lots of walks on the banks of the river Trent. Good pubs nearby.

The buildings need to be modernised. The septic tank was probably in need of emptying. The refuse area was very much in need of emptying and thoroughly clearing and cleaning g up.

Absolutely lovely stay, even with the rain, it didn't stop us from having fun!

The lady in the office was super helpful, wish I had gotten her name. We had forgotten our hook up cable, no worries, they have spares, you just have to leave a deposit.

We hired a firepit for £5 a night and bags of logs are £10, fabulous. Love a fire. Part of the reason I booked this site. Allowing fires is a selling point for us.

Friday night we pitched up, had a bbq, a few bevvies and toasted marshmallows on the fire.

Saturday morning woke to sunshine, so we got our cook on and did a full English by the tent. Had a chill and a few gam3s with the kids.

Once everyone was ready we had a wander to the Wagon amd Horses 10 minute walk away. They have a great selection of pizzas and sampled a few more beers and wines. A bit of drizzle while there, but the large gazeebos on the back didn't stop the fun.

Went back to our tent. Made friends with our neighbours. All kids played together which was great.

The amenities were fab. A great kitchen with 2 sinks for washing up, a fridge freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle. The toilets were always clean and well stocked with loo roll.

The shower cubicles were a little small and there was nowhere to put your toiletries, won't put that in the dislikes though, as I did manage.

Loved the fact we didn't need to be off until 12pm, we got to enjoy a bit of breakfast and a cuppa in the sunshine before packing up. We will definitely be booking again

Thank you!

Great location, friendly and helpful on arrival. Great value and decent facilities. Seems to be a popular site, we didn't come with children but lots of happy kids there playing so would recommend to families. Good access to electric and water. Good for walks and paddleboarding, dog friendly.

The pitches were a bit cramped on the electric pitch, and when we arrived there was some dog mess on the pitch. The staff seemed to be trying their best to stay on top of the hygiene but may have benefitted from extra support during a busy bank holiday weekend.

Thank you for another brilliant stay. We always enjoy our time at Boat Lane. The space is perfect and the location is brilliant for walks along the River Trent and pub visits. There's plenty of space for our children to play and explore and I love giving them the opportunity to have fun and be outside in nature. The toilets and showers were lovely, kept spotless throughout our stay and always smelt beautiful - it was a smell that reminded me of camping during my childhood and I loved walking in to sniff it haha. I also liked the way the bin area is all fenced off keeping it hidden from the rest of the site. The hook up area is great and close to the toilets but there are also other non-electric areas closer to the river that we would love to try.

We really liked the location of the site and the easy access to the bridleway next to the River Trent, we cycled nearly all the way into Nottingham on the bridleway.
Nice large pitches, the staff were very helpfull.
The facilities were rustic and simple, but always clean.

Nothing really, the site is quite simple, without any frills, but we quite liked it like that.

Friendly welcome at the gate

• Chaotic check-in, overbooked and disorganised.
• No allocated pitches – dumped on a patch of grass with an extension cable running across several pitches for electric hookup.
• Very run-down facilities; toilet blocks need a complete overhaul (though they were being cleaned).
• Refuse area overflowing and neglected.
• Kids running amok on electric bikes.
• Poor phone reception made it difficult to leave sooner.

We booked for the weekend but left after one night. Sadly, not a site I would recommend which is a shame cause the area looked lovely to explore.

Liked the layout friendly response from Martin and the owner great nights sleep

Sehr ruhige Lage,Platzwart sehr Nett

Sanitär total Übel, Müllentsorgung komplett Überfüllt, ein Eldorado für Raten,Viel zu teuer

The location only a short walk down to the river to paddleboard and lovely walks to a pub which served lovely food.
Polite and helpful staff.

The campsite was so overcrowded for electric pitches, no room to play games without hitting someone's tent or car.
There was no play area as shown in the pictures.
Dog poo bags full of poo strewn along a hedge which we only noticed once our tent was pitched up right near it!!
Facilities were very poor and rundown. This whole site needs a revamp. Each morning there wasn't any toilet roll, hand towels or hand drying facility. The showers were the worst showers we've ever experienced!
When we arrived there was nobody on the barrier to allow you in. No intercom on the gate, we had to sit and wait for someone to notice us.
