A warm welcome to a lovely site, close to the canal for walks into Retford and nearby villages. Great pub options including for food within a reasonable walking distance along the canal or path/road if you prefer. Bus options into Retford if not wanting to walk. Clean and modern toilet / shower block and level gravel pitches. £1 per night free electric if booking via pitchup and using the electric hookup.

Spacious fairly level pitches. Ideally situated between two pubs, both of which can be accessed with a short walk along the canal - or via a pavement along the road. We had a nice meal at The Boat Inn. We opted not to use the electric hookup but were told we got £1 worth as we’d booked via Pitchup. There was a hairdryer in the toilets/shower. The place was extremely clean and tidy which was lovely and we enjoyed a couple of chats with the wardens who pointed out the tree we pitched near sometimes has a visiting kestrel.

Bit of road noise and some barking dogs from a house down the lane. Would have been good for the dog to have been allowed off the lead in the dog walking area but understand not all dogs are well enough behaved.

Friendly welcome, clean site & facilities as always.
Great location to village pub and shop
Easy to walk to Retford (40mins)

declined to give us credit back off the elec meter

Lovely site, wardens were lovely people, really helpful and friendly.
Facilities were excellent and toilet/showers spotless. Lovely walks along the canal. Really enjoyed the stay.

The electric meter was clearly malfunctioning. We were there for just two nights in our caravan. My sister and her husband were there in their motorhome. We both put £10 on the meter. We were barely in our caravan, boiled the kettle a few times, barely watched TV, our heating was gas. We had to top up the electric with £2 put in the evening before we left. It ran out in the middle of the night. My sister had her lights on constantly, TV on, kettle on, etc, we spent both evenings in their motorhome to keep the dog company 😂 and when they left at the same time as us they had used less than £5. I appreciate that £12 is not a lot of money but something isn't right. Apparently other people had the same problem as us.
Apart from this niggle though, we loved the place.

Showers were lovely and hot and all facilities were spotlessly clean. 10 minutes walk to nearest pub and bus stop. Short bus ride into Retford town. Lovely town with plenty of shops. Campsite very secure with security barrier to get in and out also very clean and welcoming site. The people who run the site were very friendly and came to check in with us once we were settled to see if all was OK. Thank you for a lovely stay. Trev & Julie

This was our first motorhome adventure and we were not disappointed! The Olive Tree is tranquil, peaceful and spotlessly clean. Showers, toilets and washbasins were pristine, they had good lighting and music playing inside. Washing up area with lots of hot water, also kept lovely and clean. Very good recycling facilities and all clearly labelled.
Tracey and Andy were so helpful and informative without being invasive.
Ideal location for walks along the canal tow path with pubs to visit.
We had a lovely time and will definitely be returning. Thank you!
