 Beautiful site next to River Trent. Very well maintained with spotless toilets and showers. Showers are push button, and free.

Pub serving good food 15 mins along river bank.

Advertised as a quiet site and come 10. 30pm, hardly any noise heard at all.

Regarding Wi-fi, they have changed suppliers and are waiting further work to enhance the coverage. We could get Wi-fi from our pitch anyway.

Certainly a site we will return to in future.

Reviewer: Nancymancey 1 review from this member

 Just come back from a two night stay and found various pros and cons. The positives are that the site is spotlessly clean and very peaceful, despite there being several children and dogs in the site. The pub just down the road does delivery and the food is ace.

However, the negatives outweighed the positives. We booked for a motorhome pitch and upon arrival, asked where we emptied our waste. We were informed that the site did not have facilities for motorhome waste and nowhere on the website were motorhome facilities advertised.

If a site is accepting motorhomes - and there were 5 on the site on both nights including us - then the very least one would expect are suitable facilities and I wouldn't expect them to be advertised - I would expected it to be as standard. When asked where we should empty our waste, we were told to park on the lane up the road from the site and empty it there! Needless to say, we didn't.

Furthermore, free wi fi is advertised and this was the main reason for our stay here as I had some work to do. When asked about this, we were told that the wi fi signal wasn't good. The female warden informed us that it's so bad that they had to get a booster for the office. From our pitch, we could not access the wi fi at all.

The site costs £26. 50 a night, which we felt was very expensive considering that the the facilities we expected were not present / working. We have stopped at much cheaper sites with a better facilities.

We won't be returning.

 We have just returned from this wonderful site. It had everything we needed and was so lovely and clean!

The kids had a blast, especially on the tree swing they found 😊

They have done a really good job with the new restrictions that we are all having to adhere to!

The cut through path to the local pub was beautiful even when it rained it was still a lovely walk. The kids didn’t even complain!

We will defo return in the future.

Well done Trentfield farm.

Reviewer: Cullumnkate 1 review from this member

 This site is perfect if you are looking for a quiet break to relax. It is ideal for couples who are looking for peace and quiet in nice surroundings, however, I would not recommend this site if you are a group with children.

There is a long list of site rules such as no water fights, no ball games after 8pm or at busy times, dogs on lead at all times. There must be no noise after 11pm although wardens ask for noise to be kept down before this time.

Rules are enforced at all times which meant our family found it hard to relax and children felt anxious about the patrolling wardens.

Likes- clean toilet, shower and washroom facilities.

Dislikes- strict site rules not accommodating to families/groups.

Reviewer: Ayshajs 2 reviews from this member

 This family run site has excellent facilities recently redone to a very high standard.

Very central for the city of Lincoln Clumber Park Newark Retford and Sherwood forest.

There are three pubs within walking distance all do takeaway food.

Plenty of walks and nature in the area.

Lots to do for all ages

Highly recommended for a week weekend break or longer.

Very warm welcoming staff

Been going here for 4 years absolutely fantastic great place to relax chill also.

Reviewer: DavetheIV 19 reviews from this member

 Lovely little site spoilt by 2 things,

1. The Ferrybridge Pub is no longer trading & was the main reason we chose the site. BE AWARE OF THIS IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

2. The individual shower cubicles have no dry area in which to store clothing & towel while using. This makes it difficult to take a relaxing shower.

Having said this the facilities are new & very clean & staff were helpful to suggest alternative Pubs where food could be sourced. Site is easy to locate & has a good selection of pitches.

The site details therefore needing to be updated regarding lack of Pub at the end of the site! 
Management response: Please note, the Ferry Boat Inn is now reopen and under new management.

Reviewer: Captain 1980 1 review from this member

 We decided to book a last minute 1 night stay at Trentfield and we’re really glad we did.

The owners (I assume) we’re extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities were modern and clean and the pitches were really well kept.

My daughter is now nagging to go back.

Reviewer: Juliemreed 1 review from this member

 Just got back after a lovely time at this lovely little hide away, clean and tidy site, owners and caretakers lovely polite happy people. (even for flop-flop finding)

Booking in easy and shown to our pitch straight away (even though we arrived early)

Fishing on site is good, we had some big ones and the fish don't seem bothered by the boats.

Marley (our dog) thought the endless doggy walks was great but tiring, he thought the duck watching was fascinating.

Dog friendly pub in the village, and lovely village pub to stop for a refresher after a nice walk.

Will hope to go back soon for a repeat as this is the very first time that we have ever been caravanning we have found the experience wonderful.

Many Thanks again

 Really nice clean old fashioned kind of site offering basic facilities. Great value for money (£18 per night for couple with a tent, no ehu).

Friendly staff, good clean toilet and shower facilities. Handy to have access to freezer so could swap blocks over frequently. Ferryboat pub nearby is really lovely, as is the city of Lincoln (half hour drive away).

 Just had a 2 night break here at Trentfield farm caravan and camping site. Nice and quiet site. Facilities are good. Staff are welcoming and helpful.

Just a 10 minute walk to the ferryboat inn which serves good food and good portions, polite and helpful staff and dogs are even welcome inside.

Reviewer: Po Stoneman 1 review from this member

 We booked last minute for a night's camping. The place is beautiful and the staff are incredibly welcoming. The ground is flat and lush! The shower blocks are OK. The water is hot and fast but too fast for my little kids at 3+5. Considering the amount of camping ground I would have expected more showers. That's my only critique.

The place is wonderful. Quiet and perfect if you want away from the world.

The shop was brilliant as we nabbed some milk. We didn't realise we had booked electric hook up as we don't use that. Unsure if they charge less for no electric.

The pub food is some of the best I have ever had too.

Reviewer: Ian and Dee 5 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a very wet Easter weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. When we arrived it was and had been raining, lots of people were getting stuck as weather was so bad but everyone was on hand to make sure we could get on safely. Although site has been open for 15 years this is the first time this had happened to the owners dismay.

The site is in a lovely place with walks for different abilities and cycle routes. The pubs near by are friendly and serve good food. The main road got flooded but there is another way out but we decided we would go back and collect van later.

Again, the owner and wardens were extremely friendly and helpful and we will definitely be returning. Just wish some of the other campers understood that the rain wasn't owners/wardens fault. 


Date of Visit: September 2017 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Dawnymac28 4 reviews from this member

 We stayed here last weekend with a group of families. They reminded us of their noise policy in a polite way when we arrived and kept checking if we had any more people arriving - we would have told them if we had. The site itself is well equipped with hot (press button) showers, plenty of vanity space in the ladies, loads of washing up sinks in their own room. They also gave us a really helpful information leaflet with everything you could possibly need to know in it, including a pre-pint walk etc which was nice. We went to Clumber Park one day which was brilliant for all our kids, then a Sunday Roast in the Ferry Boat Inn, which is a few minutes walk away along the river. We were a large party and they put us in our own 'private' dining room just off the main restaurant, which we really appreciated, and took great trouble to make sure we were happy.

There were only two downsides for us and I think it fair to mention them. As you arrive at the site you can't help but notice the two coal-fired power stations, one of which is quite literally only a few hundred yards ahead of you as you arrive at the campsite entrance. As the camping organiser my heart sank as it was just so close. You couldn't help but notice it from the camping field and there was a regular noise the first night which sounded like a train or something similar, our friends in tents noticed it. The campsite is ideally situated in so many other ways, with the village and pub close by, and the river next to it but unfortunately the power station did detract from the beauty of the other surroundings.

We were also dismayed to learn that the campsite has now banned wood fires due to 'vandalism', there are signs everywhere. We did however have a barbecue and no-one bothered us.

Finally please be aware if you have young children, the camping field is lovely and flat with loads of space for games etc but there is a ridge running along one side which if you run up it leads straight down to the river. There are no fences or warning signs. Our children were perfectly happy on the field itself and we wouldn't let them go over the ridge without an adult but if you have younger ones this may be a concern for you.

That said we had a very pleasant weekend and I am only posting this detailed review as I feel the ones I read weren't necessarily totally representative. I rely on UKcampsite for honest feedback and was a bit disappointed this time I'm afraid.

Reviewer: Coxy66 2 reviews from this member

 Brilliant site. We stayed for three nights, my wife, 3 girls and I, (we were trying out our new tent - not a complete success but I am sure we will get there).

The site is in a beautiful location, the facilities were always kept clean and the showers always had hot water.

Everyone was really friendly and Ed deserves a medal for helping us novices put up our tent.

The area is ideal for walking and family cycling as the roads are quiet and flat. There is a lovely pub called the Ferry Boat close by which serves real ale and great food.

The kids had a great time exploring and making new friends - especially the dogs and Pabby the cat.

A great weekend. We will definitely be going back as soon as we can and will be recommending to all our friends and family.
