 Lovely Campsite. The wardens were really nice and helpful. Facilities was fantastic,really, really clean and the music/radio playing in the toilets/showers was fantastic - made it less scary when going at 4am!
The fridge for your ice packs was a lovely added bonus.
The children loved the play area and the shop! There was lots of room and I cannot recommend this site enough.

First visit in a tent this year for the Easter weekend rain, high winds, freezing cold and snow, lots of it. We have a Suncamp super 6, managed to pitch it with a little help from a friend who has a caravan on site, best postion was backing on to the trees by the road, with John's help and loan of an extention cable we were still able to connect to the hook up as usual.
Only 4 tents in the rally field, one lost the fly sheet as they were pitching and thought they would have to go home, guess what? the owner, John, just happened to have a spare caravan (His own) which he towed in and let them use. Again we can only say what a fantastic site and owners. Back again in May, without the snow we hope.

We chose this site to break our journey from North Yorkshire to Kent and were very pleased we had.
The owners were friendly and helpful, we had lots of room to pitch quickly in the dark and - best of all on a cold October evening - we were able to phone for a piping hot 'take away' to be delivered to the door of our caravan from a local restaurant! No fast food either - pies/stew/pasta - delicious!
The toilet/shower blocks were nice (with cheerful music as a bonus!) We felt it was a pity to use this site purely as a stop-over (although we plan to do so again!) but if we ever decide to visit Nottingham for a bit longer.

Our first Bonfire weekend at Orchard Park, in a word, fantastic. Well done John and Dorothy and all your helpers. We will definitely see you next year, when can we book in?
Don't change anything you got it all right.
This will have been the 5th or 6th visit this year normally in a tent but this visit had the luxury of sharing a caravan. Tent or Caravan you will struggle to find a better site or owners.
Best wishes
John,Di and Eve

6 small motorhomes from a club here on 7/9 to 9/9. All members thoroughly enjoyed the site and it's facilities. Site owners were the most helpful I have ever come across - nothing was too much trouble for them - will definitely return if in the area again.

Our first ever camping experience( I have had to put August but it was the last day of the month!).
My wife and I took our 4 year old and 10 month old sons camping and we loved this site.
Brilliant for kids, excellent play area and orchard/wood to explore safely. Very clean and well maintained toilets and two showers in each of the female and male blocks.
Price included electricity (which we didn't have) and I noticed for £3 per weekend there is a WiFi connection available.
The other families there were all friendly and there was another 'virgin' family next to us. So we didn't feel out of place.
We had pitch 27 , which is next to the playground, which our kids loved but I was worried about the noise in the evening. But the park closes at 9pm , leaving us with some peace.
We will be going back. And will try and get the same pitch.
If any of the families who we met read this. Thanks. You helped make our first camping expedition really special.

We decided at last minute to 'go local' for the bank holiday and ended up here through recommendations from this site.
The owners of the campsite were absolutely superb and incredibly helpful. The site was clean and quiet with good facilities. The showers were roomy and hot and the site also offered recycling facilities (I wish more sites did). The pitches were a little close together but not really an issue with a porch awning but may be of concern with a full awning.
There was an excellent playground at the top of the site with a nature walk attached to the back of that! There are lots of things to go and see in the area Newark, Sherwood Forest etc and a few nice pubs but good dog walking was lacking in the area. The dog walk on site was really just a segregated walkway and not a place to exercise bigger dogs.
In all a nice site which we would have no hesitation in going back to.

Re really lucky to accidently stumble across this site. It’s near the A1 so we used it as an overnight stop on the way south and wished we could have stayed longer. Well maintained, large pitches bordered by orchard trees and bushes. Toilet facilities excellent - spotlessly clean and free piping hot showers. Owners very helpful. Kids loved the park and woodland trail. Could hear some trains at night as we were at the bottom end of the site nearest the track (although couldn’t see it), but this wasn’t really a problem. Couldn’t hear any traffic noise from the A1. Highly recommended.

Great campsite for a quiet family holiday. Generous pitches. Ideal playground for young kids with plenty of space to run around the orchard. Only 4 showers for the the whole campsite but even during August never really saw a queue .But I do tend to get up early with the kids. Friendly staff who let you get on with enjoying camping. Short distance from the Sherwood forest centre, if you fancy seeing an old big tree or shooting some arrows.

Visited this site with my partner and son age 9. It is an ideal site for children, the extensive play area and surrounding meadow is lovely and safe for the kids to play. The facilities on the site were good and very clean. Good quality toilet block with showers and sinks well lit with piped music.
Facilities for pot washing, laundry and to freeze ice packs.
The site owner is very helpful,friendly and easy going. Good security barrier system in place.
Site is within a few miles from several villages where you can get pub meals, shops, take away food etc. Must say the pub closest to the site was disappointing and wasn't serving food the day we went. We had a lovely meal at the Old Plough at Egmanton (about 7 miles from site)

This is a very nice site.
Our pitch was in the little field set aside from the main part of the site and there was lots of space for the children to play.
The shower block was clean and we didn't have to wait despite there been just two shower per gender.
There's a spin dryer which is free to use and the owners let us borrow a longer extension lead for the hook up FOC
The site is well run and cared for by the owners and they were very helpful. Thank you.
They offer a long weekend price from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon allowing us time to relax and enjoy before leaving.
The play area is excellent with an orchard behind the wooden playing frames. Great for most ages.
There's lots to do in the local area. We visited the Robin Hood festive which was on that weekend. This is well worth a visit.
The only down side to the site could be the noise from the road and the train track. This is a minor issue which could annoy some people.
We only stayed for 2 nights but we will return to this site in the future.

We have just returned from 4 gloriously sunny days camping at Tuxford. The site is small and tidy, with a play area for the children. We nearly cancelled due to all the rain, but decided to chance it and timed it perfect for the sun. The owner John had already given it some thought about the best spot for our tents avoiding the few areas that were still a bit soaked (Please note that within 24hours of sunshine these had cleared up really well). The toilet/shower facililties were excellent (Complete with music!) Laundry room with washers, dryers, and sinks for pots. Plenty of hot water on tap!
We visited Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Forest Farm Park, Lincoln Castle, and stopped for coffee at the windmill in Tuxford itself. Definately recommended if you want a small quiet site. I was told I could hear the A1 and the trains - but the A1 was a very distant hum and you only notice the odd train when you weren't busy having fun.

We have just spent a great weekend at this fantastic site the owners are great and our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the children's play area and the orchard was a firm favourite where they enjoyed playing hide and seek. The toilets are one of the best I have been in although what the showers will be like when it is busy I have yet to find out has we have now booked to go back for another week in August.

We have just spent a lovely easter weekend at orchard park. The owners are very helpful and friendly. The toilet blocks are very clean and they pipe music into them. They stock a small amount of provisions in the reception but there is a small spar in the village. The children enjoyed the play area on site. All in all a nice quiet site for a relaxing break.
