This was a lovely relaxing weekend.
Quiet and peaceful and friendly owner too.
Hot outside showers were a bonus.
Loved the visit from the deer in the morning.
Recycling bins would have been fab.
Pleased we weren’t rushed off. Thank you. Xx

Lovely grounds, very clean, rope swings, hammocks, campfires allowed, badminton courts with rackets.
We will come again.
Expensive wood is the only downside.

Would not recommend this as a campsite, albeit in a very nice field with lovely surrounding countryside.
The water pressure was so bad that if anyone was filling up, or washing wellies, or cleaning teeth, or washing hands from one tap, Pretty grim when there was just the one main area for water. So you’d be left with soap on your hands after going to the loo and have to wait for everyone else to finish what they were doing.
There was no hot water at all in the toilets or main taps- not good for washing hands or washing up- again- thoughts of Covid… This is not made clear on the website.
The showers (one of which is so hidden within the bushes with no sign, we only discovered it was there when one of the children let us know on the last day) were working intermittently. Two showers (not counting the third as most campers didn’t even know about it) were not enough for that many campers. Queues were over half an hour long. The gas water heaters kept cutting out leaving you under very cold water.
The showers were outdoors with no roof, which means you can’t have a shower if it rains as there’s nowhere dry to leave your towel and clothing. This also feels like a bit of an excuse to remove the need for cleaning, as they weren’t kept tidy, with dirty pants and pant liners etc on the ground.
Toilet cleaning was at the very annoying time of between around 9 and 9:30 when everyone wants to shower and go to the toilet. Being asked if you want to have your morning poo while they rattle their buckets outside waiting for you… erm… no thanks. Cleaning at that time also meant that one morning somebody’s vomit from the night before was over the bin and the back of a toilet. YUCK. Maybe a 7am clean might be better.
No bins, with the excuse of running the place sustainably. Haven’t quite worked that one out yet. When your car is packed to the brim with camping stuff, it’s unlikely that you’ll be taking separate containers for recycling. I’ve never camped somewhere with no bins. It’s dirty, and encourages chucking everything into one bin and therefore landfill- the opposite of their claim of running the place sustainably. (Offering frozen water bottles for cool boxes is also not “sustainable”, as it is just unnecessary plastic. )
There is an industrial centre over the road with very loud vehicle engines and reverse beep alarms which go off at 6:30am and 12:30am which woke us up.
[The on site pizza van: Even with preordering 5 days in advance, they were unable to get our brownies and replaced it with a less preferred alternative. The pizzas were doughy and the mushroom pizza had about half a mushroom sliced over it, and the meat “feast” was cheap ham and salami only. ]

Great site next to a river, lots of space with toilets in two places.
Lovely showers with lots of hot water.
Nice and quiet will definitely visit again

This campsite is brilliant. Spread across three huge fields; one of those is adults only. Flat ground, great washroom and washing facilities. Great rope swings for the kids -
Situated next to Sheffield Park vintage railway and the National Trust park, which is brilliant for walking and dipping in the river.
I'm really looking forward to returning here.

The campsite was busy but the three large fields accommodated everyone round the perimeter with loads of space in the middle for games.
There were sufficient toilets, some flush in a unit or chemical in a portaloo cubicle. There were 3 open air showers with ample hot water but most people were there for a weekend and managed without.
Neil, the owner, came round frequently with fire pits (£3 for the stay) and bags of wood (£6). He was friendly and helpful.
The situation is great with immediate access to Sheffield Park estate and the children’s play trail in the wood. The start of the Bluebell Railway is immediately opposite the campsite.
I would definitely go there again as would the rest of our party of 14.

Really friendly owners, easy to find, plenty of space.
Good facilities and flat, well spaced out pitches - everything we look for.
Will use again.
Also, nice and quiet which is also a bonus.

Loved this site, back to basics, feels like an proper old school campsite.
Most camping pitches along the edge of the stream, firepits allowed, and great field next door for walking dogs etc
Toilet and outdoor shower perfectly adequate
Would return
