 What a lovely site.
We only live 30 mins away so thought we'd try it out for a weekend but will definitely go back again.
We had a lovely pitch at the side of the river opposite the playground. Great for the kids to play, feed the ducks etc. Not an ideal pitch if you don't have young kids as it can get a bit noisy. We didn't use the toilet block so cannot comment. Shop is well stocked and there was a mobile cafe on Sat night which sold takeaway food.
5 min drive to Sherwood Pines which is great for cycling. Also Sherwood Forest only 5 min drive away.
They also do a weekend deal which means you can arrive anytime after 12 on a Friday and leave any time Sunday.
Nice Nottinghamshire retreat.

Visited this lovely site last weekend. I cannot fault it. I had perfect weather, which always makes it better. The facilities are excellent. There are lots of wardens patrolling and always ready to offer assistance if required.
The toilet blocks are exceptionally clean and well maintained. Always plenty of hot water. I do not have children, but it was great to see them enjoying themselves on scooters and in the play area. Will definitely be returning.

This is our second visit within 6 weeks - this is a fantastic site - we have an 8 year old and from the minute we pulled onto site - she had made friends and was off, it is so safe for kids, everyone looks out for them. There are two playgrounds, and the kids love the swing over the stream.
The weather was fantastic, showers were spotless, wardens cannot do enough for you - we shall be visiting again.
Good dog walking facilities

Just returned from a 3 night break and and its a really nice site. This was our first camp at a 'proper' site - we've previously stayed at smaller farm type sites - and it was a positive experience. There is a farm next door and there is some traffic noise in the mornings from that and the fishermen turning up early to the fishing ponds.
We were on Oak, which we can recommend, especially if like us (Horizon 8 tent) you have a large tent - they have a 7m max but we phoned and they allowed us on and we weren't the only large tent there. The Oak field was also very quiet, with a maximum of 5 tenst on a field that can accommodate 12 large tents easily - all with EHU.
There are a range of tree named areas, some are larger and busier than others and some dedicated to seasonal caravanners - Cedar and Riverside being the busiest, but having the river close by on a hot is a bonus.
The reception was well organised and they had a print off of the booking and site plan etc ready and a warden was there to make sure we were in the right spot before we got out of the car.
The shop is also good, competitively priced for camping and caravanning equipment.
The facilities were good and there are plenty on site (5 across the site), with 2 showers per gents/ladies facilities and fully enclosed pot washing facilities on the whole. The showers were dirty at times, but this was due to individual users and not the site staff who were in there at 5.30am according to them. There is a mop and bucket in the facilities for campers to use if necessary.
Plenty to do in the area. Can recommend a visit to this site.

Had a great time at this site facilities were great and never any queueing despite the site being full. I did have to ask for a key for the disabled facilities, they were using the Radar system, and not being disabled just injured (have a brace on my leg) obviously I didn't have a Radar key but they did find me a key and I was able to use them.
The wardens were very friendly and sorted any trouble out very quickly. The pitches were of a generous size. The children loved the river and jumping in it! The little ones enjoyed feeding the ducks, the dog walk was good even without a dog.
Despite the site being busy and lots of children there (I had 5 with me) it was very very quiet and the rules about noise after 10. 30 were enforced.
The only one small down side to this site would be that to bike or walk anywhere off the site you have to go near a busy road with no path.
Will definitely be back. When the leg has mended!

Our camping tends to be with other members of the family in 2 or 3 tents, none of which are small. We were allocated 3 pitches on Cedar and all were of such a large size that we had loads of room between our tents where we could gather together to play games or eat.
We were close to 2 toilet/shower blocks both with pot washing and cannot fault either of them. The hot water was just that 'Hot' unlike some sites where it barely gets above warm. I'm not too worried about that for a shower but its nice to be able to get your pots and pans clean after the camping fry-up breakfast. They were also very clean with mops in them for you to clear up after your shower but I am sure that they are cleaned regularly during the day.
The staff are very friendly and are constantly seen around the site including a patrol late at night to just check everyone is being courteous and respecting the noise curfew which to be fair everyone does.
I must also make a comment on the state of the pitches we were allocated. After all the rain over the last couple of months I must admit to being a bit worried about what state the ground would be in. Yes there were a couple of wear spots on each pitch where tents had been pitched but no more that you would expect even in good weather.
The ground was well drained, our tent pegs were easily pushed into the ground with hardly any stones and the grass was cut and nice and green. You could tell the ground was still quite damp as you could start to see the grass wear at the entrance to the tents from all the traffic of people going in and out but I doubt this would have gotten much worse had we been staying longer.
In summary a lovely site that I have already recommended to others and would visit again.

Oh my gosh, what a lovely little site! We stayed for three nights, and we were blessed with glorious weather! The site was clean, well maintained. The showers had an endless supply of hot water. The shop was great for forgotten items, and ice creams for the kids. There is a lovely little stream running through the site which was great for cooling off and safe enough for the kids to play in. We will definitely be going again and have no hesitation in recommending this site!

Yet again another short stay [3nts] at this fantastic site. Chose a lakeside pitch on Lime [33] only just able to get our Invader 800 on but with approval of wardens was ok.
Mostly very peaceful location other than the dawn chorus which includes peacocks [screaming] but by 7. 30am all quiet again.
As on all other visits all facilities were clean and tidy and all staff very pleasant with a friendly nod and a wave as they go about their duties through the day and evening. Will be returning again soon.

Spent 3 nights at this site. Had a great time, its very clean and the staff are nice. We were on Hawthorne the tent field, which although not that close to shop/reception and dishwashing was good.
I was slightly nervous of having portaloos but they were cleaned at least three times a day and didn't smell at all, although it would be nice to have some permanent facilities on that field.
The campsite is well placed for the sherwood forest visitor centre and there is a fab little miniature train down the road, we also did the huge car boot in the field near by on Sunday.
Try the Dog and duck for food, fantastic decoration and they let us take the dog in.

Just returned from a weekend getaway at this site, our unit is a tent and even with the awful weather that there has been I cannot fault the site at all.
The site is only 45 mins away from us in Notts but we could have been in a completely different part of the country apart from the accents of the staff giving it away.
The site has lots of character and is not just a bunch of fields to pitch in, it is set in a beautiful wooded area with a pond and shallow river and is very well kept.
The site has a small reception and shop which is fantastic for gear, but will just get you by for rations.
The toilets and showers were always kept clean and were of a pretty high standard, the showers themselves were free and hot, they work like a swimming bath shower where you have to keep pressing the button for the water to flow, the wife said it was a bit of a bind keep having to press the button every 15-20 seconds when you are trying to rinse your hair etc, but to me this was no problem whatsoever.
On arrival the layout of the site was explained to us and where our pitch was, on nearing our pitch we were met by a ranger who directed to the exact spot and then explained where all the facilities were, considering the rain we have had the pitch was well drained and by no means a mud bath, it was just big enough to accommodate our Monty 6 and car although larger pitches are available.
The staff were always very pleasant, polite and friendly, even when on their rounds the rangers quite rightly asked us to turn our ipod down although not loud it was 11:00pm
The site was great for the kids we have 2 boys age 8 & 11 they made friends straight away and were off exploring, feeding the ducks playing on a rope swing somewhere in the park and generally having a great time.
There are plenty of things to do around the area we visited the major oak and sherwood pines, more adventure for the boys.
In all this is great site with great staff and on our visit nice guests, I would definitely recommend this site and it is a certainty we will be returning
