 Lovely flat site, that is kept nice & tidy. Pitches are level, and separated into smaller areas by hedges.

The toilet/shower area was also clean & tidy, one block had push button showers & the other didn’t. Outdoor washing up sinks (x4) with plenty of hot water.

Easy enough to access Nottingham centre (2 mile walk) & the National Water Sports Centre (0. 5 mile) We walked to both, but there is a regular bus - in the day time, not an evening.

Disappointed check out is 10am, although there’s an option to request a later checkout if your pitch is still available.

Reviewer: Margar 1 review from this member

 The site was in a great location with a bus route to the city centre. Pity they stop just after four got a taxi back cost £13 which wasn't too bad.

The loos and showers were excellent and clean.

And the staff were very friendly and eager to help.

 We booked to stay for a couple of nights as my husband was taking part in an event at the water sports centre, location is perfect for that. Check in was all remote via email that came with the code for the gate, toilet & showers along with our pitch.

All the pitches on the main site are on little sidings with street names, unfortunately there wasn’t a name on our “street” so had to ask at the shop (no on site reception). Once located our pitch was fine, level with EHU in easy reach, although a little snug especially when busy.

The thing that lets the site down is the bathroom block, admittedly it was a bank holiday weekend and there were lots of adults and children on site but I don’t think that’s any excuse for the state of the toilets and showers.

The sinks were grimy and the floors in the showers were no better. Showers with only hooks on the door, no curtain to stop the water from any clothes that you had managed to pile onto the hooks.

The shower itself was hot, probably too hot for children in my opinion. One morning there was a chap in the ladies who I think was a cleaner, however he only had one cloth that he was rinsing in the sink - I only hope he wasn’t using it in the toilets (where the sanitary bins were, in some cases, stained with dried on excrement).

Obviously the general day to day muck is coming from the campers, but the ingrained grime around the sinks etc is a long standing issue of inadequate cleaning.

There was a separate additional shower block which I didn’t use so cannot comment on those services.

All in all it’s a fairly decent site which is being let down by the standard of cleaning in the toilets & showers.

Reviewer: Lizarn 2 reviews from this member

 We really liked this site. There was shade from trees and plenty of space to play. It felt safe to ride bikes around.

The play area was really good although surprised there was no slide!

The shop wasn't the best but was kindly directed to a great co op a 10 min bike ride. Was really easy and bike friendly to get to the river and the watersport lake.

Plenty of toilets. The individual shower cubicles got a bit stuffy as they didn't have enough ventilation and a bin next to the washing up sinks would have been good.

Would recommend and would stay again to explore Nottingham.

Reviewer: Carlat 1 review from this member

 We did not enjoy this site to be honest.

Shop was not open, nothing around the site to do.

The facilities are a little run down. Pitches are close together.

We will not return

Reviewer: Kimleeandboys 4 reviews from this member

 First arrived to our pitch and could not pitch as had been taken by someone else, pitches very close together

And toilet facilities are absolutely disgusting sanitary bins full and not emptied for the 4 days we were there never any toilet paper in the toilets and no mop to clean after a shower so always wet and muddy. Being someone with a medical disability I require clean toilets and this was not the case

Reviewer: Alison 1 review from this member

 Quiet and peaceful as non peak time. Well organised for Covid. Clean facilities. Site well kept.

Ideally placed for cycle routes into the city and beyond.

No WiFi yet which perhaps makes it a bit overpriced.

Reviewer: Stretchyboy 1 review from this member

 Great facilities, showers were the best I've ever found in a campsite (and included in the price), but very expensive for solo bike packing trip.

It may be fine for bigger setups.

Reviewer: G Soames 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 2 nights on a electric grass pitch, the site was spacious with good quality, clean shower blocks.

Just up the road, 15 min walk, was the no. 11 bus stop for direct access into Nottingham which was very handy.
