 What a lovely site. We liked the friendly and helpful owners and their suggestions for places to go and things to do. Good 'eco' ethos -- solar panels, wildlife conservation in the Orchard,etc. Lots of helpful posters, notices around. The owner even phoned us after we got home to say he had found something we had left behind then posted it on to us! How's that for customer care!
Only one suggestion for an improvement -- an easy access disposal point for motorhome 'grey' waste -- maybe somewhere near the entrance?
Lovely spot -- we'll go again given the chance, thank you!

We really liked this site. The owners were really friendly & helpful - the lady even remembered our name when we left. There is a secure gate with a key access system.
The site is lovely, set in an orchard. I would like to see it in Summer when there are leaves on the trees. We had a nice level grass pitch.
The showers are nice & clean and there is no charge. They are the press button style but there was plenty of hot water. Piped music in the shower which is a nice touch. There is quite a big laundry and a very spacious washing up area with large sinks & lots of hotwater - and it's inside.
There is an outside vegetable preparation area. There are plenty of fresh water taps & Elsan point is adequate. Small summer house / shed with lots of tourist information. Nice children's play area. Small shop selling basic essentials e.G. We'd forgotten cooking oil & there was some in the shop.
Tuxford village is less than 1 1/2 miles away and it's an easy walk. We got a village trail map off the internet which was worth it because there are quite a few interesting things to see which you would miss otherwise - including a working windmill which has a cafe and an old prison.

What a great campsite used for first time. Right on my doorstep the toilet block was very clean and showers were great. Staff very helpful and weather great which makes a nice change kids had lots of things to do here. The pitches are very big only one downside some dog owners did not clean up after their dogs.
Tuxford is small but has a good stock of shops and what is great you can have food delivered to your tent by local sandwich shop.We hope to use campsite again soon.

We really liked this place, plenty for the kids to do (aged 10 & 11) with the nature trail and park. The site is secure so you could leave them alone an know they were ok. Showers, toilets etc were always clean, hot water in abundance and never had to wait. The pitch sizes were really generous and there was no rush to get off on departure day, they said we could stay until 6pm and it was great to have that option. We had a day trip out to Lincoln and there is also Newark and Sherwood Forest not too far a drive away, so its a good base and we shall be returning next year.

We have just got home from a wonderful week at Orchard Park and had to write a review. We are a family of 4, with children aged 9 and 4.
From the moment we arrived to book in, we were impressed with the relaxed but efficient way this park was run. We followed the owner on his bike to our pitch, which was large and flat, even the largest of tents shouldn't have any problem with the pitch sizes! We were given a barrier key as we arrived, leaving a deposit which was refunded on departure.
The facilities on this park were spotlessly clean, hot water never ran out (we have all had that elsewhere!) The toilet blocks include 2 showers in both the ladies and gents, and often visits to the loo were timed to coincide with the radio piped in there, to hear the on-the-hour weather forecast! The washing up and laundry facilities are together in an adjoining room; there are only two washing up sinks so they do tend to get busy mornings and evenings.
We were pitched in the tent field were there is loads of room for energetic little ones (and big ones !) to run around, though there are other pitches for tents near the play area (those without kids.Warning. These pitches are very near the play area !). The orchard, with its pathways for little ones to run around in, was a lovely touch and great for our two children.
John and Dorothy couldn't be more helpful, little touches like bringing a photo-copied map to the tent when I happened to mention going out for the day, certainly make for an excellent site. In addition, how many sites have a snack shop in the local village who deliver right to your pitch! They are particularly popular on your first night when you really don't want to start cooking!
Order your papers at the reception, and raid the ice creams if it's as warm as it was for us!
As luck would have it, it happened to be the annual Robin Hood festival at Sherwood Forest during the week we were there, and the site is only 20 minutes away. The festival was fantastic, with loads of things to see and do, most of which were free. A must for any Robin Hood fan! We'd also recommend going to the Tuxford Windmill for a tour, then coffee and cake in their coffee shop. Interesting and delicious!
All we hope for in a camping trip is a good site, good company and good weather!. Thankfully we found all 3 with this site and will definitely return again.

What a lovely site. The owners are very friendly, and helpful. On arrival we where guided into our spot which was on flat ground and plenty big enough for caravan, full awning and space for sitting out in the sun with table and chairs.
The site was nice and quiet, no yapping dogs, which made a change from some sites we have been to.
Plenty of bins for rubbish, and a container for cans.
The showers and toilets where really clean and well cared for. And the music was good too.
We will definitely be going back sometime in the future, Tuxford is a lovely village, with a really nice sandwich shop called Snax. Do go there is well worth a visit.

Just returned from orchard park after staying 3 nights and felt I must post a review. What can I say, what a fantastic well maintained park, a credit to the owners.
Toilet block was spotless and the free showers were fantastic.
All pitches are large & flat which makes a change from most other sites we have stayed at.
Our 8 & 5 yr old girls thought the park and orchard were great fun and did not want to come home.
There is a little shop in reception which sells ice creams which was a god send as it was hot!
The site was quite busy but never felt crowded and was still very quite in the late evenings. (although the park was supposed to be closed after 9 a few parents did not seem to bother with this! but that is my only slight negative as we were pitched next to it.)
We will definitely be returning what a fantastic find.
P.S. The fish & chips from tuxford chippy were great!

Went to Orchard Park for our first ever camping trip. Turned up and went to reception, said we were first timers and the owner moved us to a pitch at the edge of the field where there was stacks of room for us to practice pitching without worrying about intruding on anyone elses space.
£5 deposit for the key for the security barrier and there is also a car park just outside the barrier for visitors. The reception sells a few items, ice cream, milk, chocolate etc and will order you a newspaper if you want one.
They also have menus for a local takeaway that delivers right to your pitch. It does burgers, pizza, sandwiches, salads and even lamb shanks!
Next to the reception is a wooden hut that has lots of tourist information for the local area and a fair few books for if you run out or its raining.
The site itself was great. We were on the tent field and the toilet block was straight across from the entrance. Two showers, four wash basins and two toilets. Might get busy in high season but the site was pretty full when we went and I never had to wait. There is also a vegatable preperation area, two sinks for washing pots, a sink for laundry, Washing machine and tumble dryer on a pay meter, iron and a freezer and chemical toilet disposal.
PLay area for the kids and a small woodland walk at the end of the site provides a bit of a distraction and there was plenty of room on the tent field for our little girl to run around.
Downsides - Just two. There is some road noise at night and there is a train track nearby that sounds a lot closer than it is. However, after the first couple of times we really didn't notice it.
First day there we went to Wonderland near Ollerton and on the Sunday went to Rufford Park. Tuxford is well placed for visits around Sherwood forest and Clumber park is in easy driving distance.
All in all this was a great site that we will definatly visit again.

A really nice site.
Very helpful owners, with well laid out and maintained pitches.
Toilets & showers were good (free & hot), although the music/radio in them could be a little disconcerting at times. It was a bank holiday when we went and with only two showers there was often a queue.
Decent pub down the road by the disused power station.

Lovely family friendly site. Even when full it didn't feel busy, plenty of space for everyone. Facilities clean but busy when the site was full. Loved the children's play equipment. Owners really friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended.

A really lovely site - very quiet and with lovely views over surrounding fields.
The kids loved the play trail and the 'maze' cut through the old orchard. They are already asking when we can go back. Would love to return when the apples are ripe!

A truly lovely site, vey friendly and helpful staff, who were able to make for room for us at very very short notice ( ringing from a service station) as our original site booked was a very big let down.
The site as described is set in an orchard, it`s clean & peaceful. We were directed into our pitch which was a great help. We shared our spacious pitch with a baby Bluetit who was nesting in the apple tree, great to see the local wildlife. The toliet/shower block with music was clean & tidy as was the whole site. Will be visting again a true gem of a site.

Upon arrival at this site the welcome was very informative about the amenities and local places to spend our money in the surrounding area.
The site was clean and the grass was certainly well looked after.
We were guided into our plot and then left our own devices which is pretty much how we like it.
The site was occupied by a lot of families who were campers, tourers, motorhomers, in other words a full myriad of people. All the families seemed to adhere to the rules of the site well, not making noise at inappropriate times.
Toilet facilities were clean and accompanied by the music being played in them. The toilet facilities however I felt for the number of units on site were too few (2 mens lavatories, 4 womens I think, 2 showers for each).
The play area was small and minimalistic but yet again well looked after.
Pitches were extremely flat and free from holes.
Ornithologists would love it here as the site had an influx of many native birds often nesting in the trees right next to the pitches.
The surrounding areas - Lincoln was very nice and lovely to stroll around however BEWARE if you are having to push weheelchairs or prams the hill from the cathedral down to the city centre is steep.
Tuxford church was lovely especially at night when lit up as are many churches in the area.
At this I can say that although the visit was enjoyable and the site was nice I would probably look at other sites in the area before committing to this one especially.

Just spent the weekend at this site, gorgeous weather just capped a wonderful time at this little gem of a site. We stayed in the rally field and loved the generous size of the pitches. The facillities are the best we have experienced and the site is a credit to the owners John and Dorothy. One of the local take aways delivers to the site which is a bonus. Local shops and pubs are within 5 mins drive for provisions with a Co-Op and Tesco in New Ollerton. We visited Sundown Adventure theme park with our 3 year old little girl who enjoyed the whole experience. Cant wait to return to Orchard Park.

This is a wonderful site, very peaceful and well maintained.
The owners are helpful and keep an eye on things without being intrusive. The pitches are well spaced out and the site is surrounded by fields which means it feels very safe for the children who you can still hear even though you might not see them (or at least you can hear my son!). The toilet block is clean and wonderfully warm - which is great in the middle of the night if you need a thaw out. Several nice pubs around in the village of Tuxford only a mile walk. We have been twice and will be back again.
