 We stayed here for a weekend with friends. A good flat site, well it is in the Fens!. But being on the banks of the Trent in this part of the country then a power station will not be far away, and indeed the view from the touring field is of a power station, in full working glory! But you can always look the other way. Toilets etc were OK. A peaceful site, not sure that we will visit it again, nothing particular to draw us back, but not a bad site.

We are new to camping and so look for the smaller and friendly campsites. Trentfield was lovely. The team there made us very welcome and the horses the kids adored. It is close to the river but is very safe for kids with a large bank at the side. The shower and toilet block are clean - though the showers can get busy at peak times. The team looked after our dog whilst we visited the nearby Sundown Adventureland. We had a fab day and so it seemed did our dog. They even took him for a walk. The only criticism that I could make is on the second night some locals decided to play music really loud at about 2am and though they were not on the campsite we were unable to raise anyone from the campsite - we rang the emergency number but only got put through to an answer machine. As we have kids with us - it would have been more comforting to have been able to get hold of a member of the team. But that aside - a wonderful place - well recommended - the kids and we had a lovely stay.

We had planned to have another small weekender with some friends of ours and had to leave it quite late in finalising the bookings due to work commitments however, having already enquired about pitches some time before with John I was pleased to find that 2 months later he remembered us and could still fit us all in (3 pitches). So many thanks to John.
The site is level and the pitch sizes are whatever you need them to be, there didn't seem to be allocated pitches, (one of our party had already arrived and pitched - John said just find them and pitch up).
The campers all seemed to be here for a good break (lots of people staying up late, drinking and chatting but the site was very quiet and polite).
The number of showers has been covered by John and other UKCS reviews so looking forward to seeing the changes implemented.
The washing up area seemed small, like the idea of big washing troughs but the rinsing trough could be better suited as a washing up space. Or change the layout and you could probably get 6 or so sinks & drainers and so eliminating quing

Note comments below. Cannot comment on the nearby power plant really as most people don't comment or have an issue with it, and as named by a UK Camp site junior member we prefer it known as "The Cloud Factory" - Our electricity needs to come from somewhere !
Regarding the showers, yes I agree, due to our popularity, which I have got to say is partly due to this web site and reader reviews we have got considerably busier than last year.
However, the good news is that we have every intension of putting in a further shower block up as soon as we can. The current facilities do fall short of what we now need!, and the feedback cards given out on the site also reflect this.
Pleased the toilets were found to be clean, they are done 5 times a day!

Having just come back from this site, went to test out our new folding camper, I have to say that it was a most peaceful site. Apart from the view of the power station pumping out gases and smoke. John the site owner was very helpful and showed us to our pitch. The only small moan was that the toilets and showers were inadequate and found that you had to queue every time you wanted to use this facitily. But toilets were very clean at all times.

This is my first review ever but I felt I had to write one for this site! On arrival I went to reception to be greeted by John (a very friendly bloke I must say) paid my money, then I was given a fact sheet about the site and places of interest in the surrounding area (which I thought was great). Not a lot of places make that sort of effort to give you a large fact sheet which they have done. Found my pitch, pitched the van, then went for a wander. In the shower block area you have a laundry with washing machine, dryer, freezer (which can be used at anytime free of charge) but don't forget to put your name on any item you place in there, and a pot washing area. In the toilets (I can only comment on the ladies) very clean and well kept, but with only two showers, so you have to time it well when there is quite a few people on site.
This site is in the perfect place for either a very peaceful and relaxing break or as a base camp to explore the area. All in all a very well kept site, with a very friendly owner and staff but don't take my word for it. So go and check out the site for yourself, I promise you, you wont regret it!

I just had to post a review on this site as it is one of the best sites I have stayed on. We were on the Rally field but I did have a look at the touring part and it is a very well run and clean site. The site owner John couldn't have been more helpful and friendly and had even organised some events for us. The touch I liked is the chest freezer where you can keep your ice packs frozen or even leave food in. The toilets and showers were spotless every time I went in. There seems to be lots of places to visit nearby and Retford is about 25mins in the car, where there is a couple of large supermarkets. We will be visiting this site again

I was a co-host on our meet. Beforehand I visited John & his wife to ensure everything was up to expectations. There was no need as the site is in an ideal location next to the River Trent. The facilities are clean and well presented. John thoughtfully based us in a field away from the main campsite so our partying did not interfere with other users of his site. He then put on entertainment for the children - Teddy Bears Picnic and a Car Treasure Hunt for the adults. He is the most welcoming, accommodating and obliging manager I have come across and I know we will be back to this camp site again. Not just a camp site but a fantastic holidaying experience.

We recently stayed at Trentfield Farm Camp Site on the rally field. The site owner, John, was the most helpful site owner we've met! Nothing was too much trouble for him. We were part of a rally and he even organised events over the weekend!
Facilities were clean on site and there was a beautiful walk along the river which our dog loved! The Ferry Boat pub was only a short walk away and a few minutes drive into Rampton there was a shop which sold virtually everything (rather like Aladdin's cave).
We already plan to return to this superb site!

Excellent site and john is a very friendly host. Went with the uk campsite mob on our first outing with them, drunk loads had a great time and have now booked more meets with them. All the kids get on and are all looked after by all uk campsite people attending the meets. Toilets and shower on site where ok very clean and well presented. This was our first outing where we never left the site all weekend but still had loads of fun. Has to be thumbs up from the cobb clan.A++

This was our first visit to Trentfield and we really enjoyed it. The site and the staff were great. Lovely level pitch, with plenty of room to move around (very handy for us as we are still novices). Nice pubs within walking distance. The staff gave us a fantastic information pack when we booked in which was really useful, and they were in no rush for us too leave on the day of departure. We are already planning our next visit.

We as a small family have just spent a long excellent weekend at Trentfield Farm. If you want peace and quiet this is the place to be. John is extremely helpful and nothing is any trouble. Definitely a place to go if you want to forget the humdrum of everyday life. As you are in the middle of the countryside there is plenty of walks to do, John gives you a long list on arrival and the Ferryboat Inn does wonderful home cooked meals (proper pub)
Comments from March 2006 visitors are very negative - if you are to exercise your dog I expect it to be taken for a walk not just a lap round the field! Visitors wanting more amenities should visit the larger parks.
John, family and team are constantly striving to make the most of the site but as a visitor (don't overdo it John)) and spoil the peaceful,country ambience.

Stayed at this site as a warmer for the season just to get into the swing of things - chose this site as it was very close to home so not too far it all went wrong. Didn't get of to a good start as we turned up in our VW campervan and were advised that the site as a rule didn't take VW's but the owner John let us stay anyway.
The site is still in the process of being updated and as is was the beginning of the season not all things were up and running anyway. The pitches are not laid out and as not all the EHU's were in action we were asked to plug into one behind a caravan - this poor caravan ended up with three cables being laid across its area which I didn't think was very nice they were also right next to the only working tap for quite a few units.
The site is very open and in windy weather this shows, there is no shop and nowhere on site to exercise your dog, which I found a real pain as it meant early in the morning and late at night you had to walk out onto the road and down near the river, also it meant you couldn't play with your dog either. The toilets were clean but the water system was not so good, the showers and the taps fed from the same pipe on the same water heater so turn one tap on then another and the water flow drops.
The Ferry Boat Inn near the site was very good and you could take your dog in, which was a bonus (when you have dogs these things are important)

Stayed here for a long weekend in the rally field, so cannot really comment on the pitches in the main field.
The rally field was nice and flat and well spread out. It is only a short walk to the facilities block, which when we were there only had two showers and three cubicles in the mens. I cannot comment on the Ladies facilities I am afraid.
There is a laundry and wash up room with fridage and freezer, free to use and also an area to chill in if it is raining! There is a marquee available to sit in if you are in a group as well.
The rally field backs on to the river and has a couple of fishing spots. I was not fishing but the people I was with did some and commented that they did not catch a lot in two days of fishing. This could have just been their tactics though! It is a tidal river.
There are lovely peacful walks along the riverside and even on the roads as well, as the site is right in the country there is not a lot of traffic on the road.
There is a delightful pub down the road about a mile from the site called the Ferry Boat Inn and they serve local ale as well as some better known drinks, the food is fantastic - £4.25 for a roast dinner with all the trimmings, cannot argue with that. If you stay at this site you have to check out the Ferry Boat Inn.
There is a huge power station about a mile from the site which is highly visible but to be honest, I didn't even notice it much after a while, don't let this put you off coming here.
There is a small shop in the next village that sells everything you could need, bread, milk, food, booze etc.
There is an Asda in Retford about 7 miles away for a bigger shop.
Site is easily accessable and is about 7 miles from the A1.
Overall a great site which I would return to
