 Our 2nd stay at this site but in a group this time. Fantastically large pitches and loads of space for kids to play. Where other sites would cram in as many tents as possible, this site have made a good decision to leave large areas of grass for playing football, badminton etc - yes, even on a bank holiday weekend!
Lots to do in surrounding area - Sherwood Forest well worth a visit.
Toilets and showers always clean. Showers 20p for 3 minutes.
Nice play area for kids and a 'hang out' games room for slightly older ones.
Indoor pool available but sadly we didn't have time to use it.
All in all a well laid out and very clean site which we would definitely visit again.

We have just returned for 2 nights at this site with our 2 kids (7 and 4) and 2 dogs. The site was fab. The children loved the play area which is well equipped and secure. The pool was a big hit - it cost £2 for 1 1/2 hours and was not too deep so the kids could touch the bottom.
The toilet/shower facilities although slightly dated, were clean and the whole site was tidy and well maintained. The staff were friendly and the shop sold the basics including delicious free range eggs. The pitch was very large and partly hardstanding.
The site has a 10.30pm noise curfew which is great for a good nights sleep and the play park is locked from 9pm until 9am another plus point to get the kids to go bed and have a lie in.
A great site for families with children, plenty of space for riding bikes, making friends and playing football etc.
We will def be visiting again soon.

Me and my partner, along with our 10 year old daughter and dog, have just returned from a week at Thorntons. An over all we had a marvellous time and met some lovely people!
The site is well looked after. The showers provided hot water and was more than an ample for our needs. After all you are meant to be camping. The shop had all the bits n bobs you could think of. We had such a great time, we will be def going again. This time for 10 days!.

A group of us (8 tents and 1 caravan) visited for 3 nights and we all had an excellent time.
The facilities, although they are not new are adequate and there are plenty of showers and toilets. The swimming pool was a big hit with the children and there is plenty of space for them to play. Take their bikes if you can because there is the space.
This is an excellent site if you want to visit Nottingham. In the nearby village there is a co-op so you do not have to go far for groceries. The small shop on site also sells a few bits, sweets and ice creams.

We visited this site with our 2 children aged 10 and 3.
The pitches were very spacious and flat and clearly numbered. Lots of free space for the children to play. There is also a children's playground and free games room (snooker and table tennis). The swimming pool could get a bit pricey at £2 per person, but it was a good pool. Warm and clean.
The toilets were slightly dated but plenty of them. The showers cost 20p for 3 minutes (1st time we have had to pay for showers) but certainly well worth it. Would not complain about this at all.
Free range chickens also kept the kids amused. If you have a phobia of chickens this may not be the best site for you. They visited us in our awning, the laundry room and even the toilets!
It rained every day of our holiday and we feel the only thing this site is missing is some sort of communal area with perhaps a TV and chairs for people to meet up.
Hidden away in a peaceful location but only 5 minutes walk to the pub or 5 minutes in car to Morrisons. Overall an excellent site. This is also confirmed by the number of very friendly regulars who pitch their caravans here for the whole summer.

What a great site. We arrived after a lot of rain and managed to get pitched before the heavens opened again. The pitch was large and flat with was great so no puddles under us.
Our 2 dogs loved the walks. There is a great walk along the disused railway track that takes you to the country park. The shop on site sells the basics and they are very helpful telling you of places of interest to visit. The shower and wash up are situated in the old pig barns, so not state of the art but quite function able.
The free roaming hens, cockerels and cats are un fazed by visitors.
The pool is adequate and not too deep.
There is a pub 5 mins walk away that does the most amazing carvery for £3.50 and it's a real belly buster.
Very reasonable site and we all had a great time, will be back again soon.

Great site which is well maintained and the pitches are set out well (for electric). Large area for playing games with the kids and about four different sections to stay in. Shop was poor but had the basics. Pool can be hired out but if you want it then hire it when you get there.
Some nice pubs and walks in the area. We liked Gunthorpe Lock a few miles away which had a nice walk along the trent and a great pub.
We paid £22 per night with electric for a family of 5.

Just come back from a 3 night stay at this site. The staff are really friendly and very helpful. Gave us good instructions and directions on arrival to our pitch. The toilets and washing up area's were always clean.
The playground is dated but that didn't seem to bother the amount of children playing on it, the swimming pool is lovely and booking to use it means its never crowded.
We found the site to be very clean and the pitches well laid out. We had lots of rain whilst we were there but the ground seemed to hold up well. Due to them keeping the grass short .Overall really enjoyed it there.Very relaxing. Can't wait to go back.
Oh and just round the corner there is the shepherds pub which does a very nice carvery mon-sat for £3.50.Excellent value.

We (2 adults and 2 children aged 6 & 4) visited this site for a weekend in July on our way to Cornwall. Stayed 3 nights Fri-Mon. Friday and Saturday night the campsite was very busy and we had fairly noisy neighbours at night. Sunday night we were the only tent left in our field and the kids loved having a huge amount of space to play in. Pitch size was great, we had ample room for our large tent. The pitch itself was well drained and made it easy to peg the tent down and was very level. Plenty room for the car. All in all a well laid out site.
Hens, ducks and cats wandering the site, the children loved it but if you took your own dog then I would beware of it chasing the hens etc. Other people were warned about this.
Plenty of room on-site for games/frisbee etc. Children loved the play area too.
Got the bus to Nottingham which was ideal. Ate one night at the nearby pub - walking distance. Bought the most enormous portion (at reasonable price) of fish and chips at nearby chipshop in Cotgrave (you would need a car to get there tho).
There is an OK shop on site - at least ok for basics and sweets. There is a small Sainsburys and a co-op in Cotgrove if you need more. A huge freezer on site is provided to refreeze your icepacks - for free. Staff in the shop & reception were very friendly and helpful.
We would definitely go back if we are in the area again.
Only comments would be to take a torch - you may need it at night as some areas are not well lit. Although we found the toilet and shower facilities clean and tidy at all times they are not the most modern but are perfectly adequate for the site.

Just got back from here 5 night stay, basic camp, staff friendly and helpful toilets showers and washing up facilities basic but clean just a shame that other campers don't clean up after themselves. Chickens running around got there eggs from the shop really good. Best to catch bus into Nottingham only £3.40 return for adults and £1.60 for a child.The best indian take away I have ever had was from the local village of Cotgrave well worth a visit. Would return to this site if I was travelling this way again
