 Rather disappointed with this site as it has a lot of potential that is not being fulfilled.
The entrance and driveway to the site could do with a good tidy up, first impressions are that this site is not cared for as it should be and that theme continues with the reception area of the site, functional but not tidy enough to give a good impression.
The abundance of corrugated plastic shacks, presented as facilities would be OK as temporary but it is obvious these have been a long-term addition.
The pitch we stayed on was rather tight, and I would consider our tent to be in the medium size range also considering caravan and tent units are much larger now days the site could do with loosing one or two pitches to address this. Our stay was in peek season and the site was only at half capacity so I could not see this causing any problems. There appear to be four hard standing pitches that are adequately roomy.
One pitch has a un-screened waste water pit right on its boundary!
The toilet and shower block is cleaned daily but not to a standard I would consider adequate. The shower tray is cleaned but the mat you step on to, to dry off and dress appears to have not been lifted and cleaned underneath this season, so possibly expect dirty feet after you shower.
The shower tray is so far off the floor and the ceiling low enough to make showering difficult for anyone over 5’10”. Stepping down off this tray was a little unnerving. There were cobwebs everywhere that had obviously been there sometime.
I found it strange to find a notice on the back of the WC door informing guests to depart by 12 noon!
There was also an intermittent foul smell that we thought could be fertiliser. When I returned home and checked on Google Earth I found Nottingham’s major sewer treatment works only a mile and a half west of the site. So if you have a good westerly wind blowing like we had, expect the same foul smell.
Other than these faults it’s a pretty site with a useful shop that the owner was happy to open up at any reasonable time for us and a small amount of books / cd’s to lend. The grass was well mown and all but one or two pitches are reasonably flat

We stayed at this site as it was one of the closest to where a friend of ours was holding her 65th birthday. We had a great time - friendly owner with lots of local information on hand. It's a lovely rural location with a great circular walk from the camp site for a dog walk, and quiet at night. Small, informal and how camp sites used to be. Good value for money, too. We would definitely go again if we were in the area.

A quiet oasis in the middle of nowhere and being mid-week we were the only tourers there adding to the serenity. Excellent site for visiting Nottingham with an hourly bus stop just down the road and buses dropping off at the site entrance.
Owner extremely helpful,toilets a bit basic but clean with modern showers and plentiful, free hot water. Small site shop selling local micro brewed bottled ales which I thought was unusual.
Pub on the other side of the village was open during my stay but is currently up for sale,no food but a couple of nice real ales on. Paid £14.50/night for two with ehu.

Myself and my wife used Shelford nurseries for a stop off on our way back home from Norfolk. I am pleased we did. When in the site it was like a little Oasis.
Christine, the owner was there to greet us and walked around the site to show us the facilities and to let us choose our pitch, she is a very friendly host and gives you plenty of advice where to go and most importantly how to get there.
Facilities are up to a good clean standard and over the three days we were there I never found them in any condition other than clean. The showers did not have a timer on them so you had a shower that worked till you turned it off. Myself I feel that if the toilets are clean the rest of the site follows, and this was right.
Around the edges of the site there is a growth of weeds. They do not get in anyones way and are controlled by Christine. What they do is encourage wild life to visit more.
Its a good site that is centrally placed for visiting the area. I was not really a fan of Nottingham though and found it a very hard place to drive into and around to get a car parking space. This in no way detracts from the experience of the area. From the site you have walks to to river side and plenty of lanes if you like to use your bicycles.
Within a few miles of Shelford there are caravan centres who do sell accessories so if you need anything you don't need to travel far.
On the whole we found the site clean, a good size, friendly and easy to get to and will use it again next time we are down that way.

The owners are very helpful and friendly. The lady was not there when we arrived but she made sure she came and introduced herself, which was nice. When booking she also gave us tips on the best way to travel there and the best places to eat out etc. Tom Browns in Gunthorpe was a very good recommendation from her.
The site itself is unfortunately in need of some TLC. When we were there, there were lots of weeds and nettles and you had to step over the long grass that had grown in the cracks on the way to the toilets / shower. The toilets / shower are very dated and could do with a bit of a spruce up.
The site is small and very quiet but you do feel like you are camping in someone's back garden. Due to the small size of the campsite there is a limit on the size of tent you can pitch - 3m.
The pub in the village apparently opens erratically but was not open at all during our time there. There is a nice pub in East Bridgford called the Reindeer - excellent food at really reasonable prices.

Just got back from a one night stay at this site. We had a great time. The atmosphere is very relaxing and peaceful!
The site is small but perfectly formed.
All facilities are clean and of a good standard. Christine (owner) was very helpful and even gave us useful camping tips, which we value as newcomers!
We will be coming back to this lovely and homely site.
Highly recommended.

Great little site when we stayed for a long weekend with the family over the Easter bank holiday.
No frills but everything done adequate expect only one washing up sink with little hot water.
You can tell that this was once someone’s back garden and orchard but this just adds to the charm and character.
All in all small site but very peaceful with a laid back atmosphere! Be back when the cricket is on at Trent Bridge next summer.

We visited Shelford Nurseries for a weekend in early September. Its a friendly little campsite set in an orchard. There are 2 camping areas for vans, motorhomes and tents either side of the shower and toilet block.Close-by is a sitting area and a shop selling all the essential things. Beer, wine, biscuits Etc. A paperback book exchange is available,too. EHU is available if needed.
Christine, the owner, warden and general dogsbody, was very humorous and chatty. The sleepy village is of soft red-brick cottages and bungalows, with a pub about 10 minutes walk down the road.Buses stop outside for Nottingham.
Footpaths to other villages and a riverside walk to pubs in the area. Just wish we'd had more time to explore. Made a lovely crumble from the apples in the orchard.

Spent four nights on site. The owner (Christine) was extremely helpful & friendly. The site is well positioned for visiting Nottingham and we found it quiet and peaceful. The pitches are located within an orchard (there is probably a clue in the name!)and it has a wonderful 'step back in time' feel about it.
Our visit on this occasion was due to having to visit QMC, however we will return at some point to fully enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.This review is one of those classic quandaries -do we keep quiet and keep it to ourselves or do we share it? Its quite simple really -this site deserves to have a loyal following.

This is a nice little site, with very friendly owners. There is a small shop that sells the essentials and some local beers.
There are two hard standing pitches and the rest are grass.
The facilities, though dated are very clean functional and the shower was lovely and hot.
There is an area to wash the pots and an information room.
Buses run from the village into Nottingham but there is a more regular service from Radcliffe.
It is a lovely walk to Radcliffe which takes about thity five minutes, here there are quite a few shops, pubs and cafes. There are other walks round and about. We were there for an extended weekend and found plenty to do.
We enjoyed our stay and would visit again.
