Had a fantastic weekend camping with a group of friends. This as my 5th visit to Trentfields and once again it was brilliant. We were in the rally field, which we all preferred. Great games of football and rounders enjoys by all. Friendly welcome with us being shown to our pitch. Toilets and showers are always clean. From initial booking to the end of the weekend it was brilliant. Highly recommend the site. There are pubs in walking distance. We really like the bee keeper!
We booked for two nights with a large tent as a family of four including two kids, 6 and 8. We chose the site as we could not get in at Clumber Park and we were very happy with our choice.
We had a standard non electric pitch in the large open rally field. We were met at reception and shown to a pitch with was flat and had plenty of space for our two cars (my wife arrived late due to work). The field is huge and the site was quite busy but the owners kept everyone to the edges which meant our kids had plenty of space to charge around on their bikes and play cricket / football. They quickly made friends and we were confident they were in a safe place.
The showers, toilets, washing up area and freezers etc were all clean and in good working condition and it was clear the owners were making a big effort to maintain a good standard on a busy bank holiday weekend.
We were provided an excellent info leaflet on arrival which give clear rules and expectations. Pleasingly everything went quiet at about 10 each night and we all got a decent nights sleep.
After seeing the rating of 8/10 very hopeful of a pleasant experience. How wrong can you be. Very basic toilet facilities, unheated, one hand dryer, grubby floors and showers. The field was a playground with numerous ball games and all for the princely sum of eighty pounds for three nights!not what I call value for money. Left after one night.
Management response: Dear UK Campsite reviewer: Thank you for taking the time to post a review of the park. It is very disappointing that you did not take the time to raise your concerns at Reception, as we take any issues raised very seriously.
As I pointed out to you on the phone, if you had discussed the matters on the day, we would have done everything to either re site you, refund you, and of course address the issues you have raised. Managing people's expectations is a very tricky task sometimes!
The night that you stayed was exceptionally cold, and with a busy toilet block, heat is sometimes difficult to maintain, again, being a bank holiday the toilets were busy, although regularly serviced, and damp cold conditions make cleaning an even more challenging and ongoing task. With regards to one hand drier, we have 1 for 3 sinks. I'm sorry that this is not enough, and the first time this ever been raised.
We advertise the site as being family friendly, and we do have family ball games taking place, as the field is plenty big enough to do so. This is something that people rarely get to do at home or on other sites. We are sorry that this family pastime has upset you.
Finally, £80 is a package price for 2 people, electric, your pitch from 8am to 8pm on Monday - A price that we have held for over 4 years, which we are regularly complemented on and we still consider this to be great value.
Just back from a lovely weekend at this site. We were in the mostly caravan field along with friends in 2 caravans and a tent. The power station is clearly visible from this field but really isn't an issue. If you don't like the look of it you can just turn your back!
The field is well-kept, flat and well-drained. The wash rooms were clean with plenty of hot water, loo roll and soap. The pot-wash area was spotless, and although some of the sinks had 'out of order' signs on, I think this was just because the individual hot water boilers had been turned off for the low season. The site was fairly quiet on the Friday night but busier on Saturday, but we didn't have to queue for anything.
The chap in the reception was very friendly and gave us a useful info booklet on arrival. He also lent us an EHU splitter so our group could all share one EHU and pitch together. There were no strict rules about exactly how to pitch either, which was nice. We were able to arrange ourselves in a square in the middle, around the EHU post.
We ate out at the Bees Knees both nights as it had better reviews than the closer pub (Ferry Boat). These turned out to be well-justified: the ale at the Ferry Boat was poorly-kept and the service below par, but the Bees Knees was just that! Friendly service, tasty food and delicious ales and ciders from their own on-site micro brewery. Hubby was very happy!
As others have said, there's not a lot to do within walking distance of the site, but we took a 30 min drive each day to Clumber Park and Sherwood Forest, both of which were lovely. We really enjoyed our stay at this nice site and would visit again.
I stayed for just one night on a cycle tour along the Trent so this site was ideal as it's right next to the river. Tents have their own field and the loo blocks aren't far off. The facilities are nice and clean, loos, sinks, three showers - one large and two really rather small, but with a shower curtain so your stuff doesn't get wet. Wash-up room with lots of sinks though some were out of order.
There was no sign or sound of the power station from the tent field.
Visited Trentfield last week as part of a group, 4 tents 2 with EHU and 2 without.
We were pitched on the field on the right, which meant EHU on one post but this was fine for us, all others in this field seemed to be non EHU.
The field is flat, with a bank to one side between the field and the River Trent. There are lovely flat walks from the site along the banks of the river, great for dogs, but nothing else to do in the immediate area, this suited us as our main aim was to relax and spend time together.
When we arrived on the Thursday our field was empty, but by Saturday it was very busy. The shower room was always clean day and night.
The pot washing room was spotless, and the welcome from the staff was fantastic.
We walked to the Ferry Boat for dinner, which was good, not Michelin stars but we didn't expect that, just clean pub grub and excellent ales!
Bad points - the site being busy on the weekend meant queues for the showers and toilets as there are only 3 of each in the ladies and 3 hand basins. I think more are needed if the site is regularly busy!
However we had a great time and would recommend this site for small well-behaved groups.
We have been here twice this year and due to go again soon. We are two adults and two small children.
Staff friendly and helpful on arrival.
Facilities good and generally clean. Never needed to wait for shower which is really very powerful!
Love the large camping field which the kids (and adults) which is pretty flat. There is another camping field to the right of reception which we have not stayed in so can't really comment.
Lovely walk along the Trent north past the power station and south to the pub.
Lovely and close to Sundown, 5 minutes away, the reason we use the campsite regularly.
Great that we can book a late departure on Sunday for a small amount more.
We were greeted by the owner at Reception and found him most helpful. We were given an information booklet which we found very good, giving loads of suggestions of places to visit. We were shown to our pitch which was a large size. The site was very clean and the staff extremely helpful. They welcomed dogs so were were able to take our King Charles with us. It was a very quiet site which was great for us. Washing facilities were clean with plenty of hot water and the showers were great. There is a freezer which you can use to put frozen food/ice packs in which is great for people with tents. There was a short walk alongside the river to the pub which provided lovely food at reasonable prices. Staff were very happy. Overall, a lovely site and would definitely visit again.
This is THE ONE if you want pristine facilities, excellent service and beautiful surroundings. We have just returned from a 2 night stay, the 1st night just the two of us and our dog Evie, the second night with our 3 girls all under 9 yrs old. What a perfect location, so peaceful and relaxing. We can not wait to return for the August bank holiday and anticipate this to be our favourite get away for the future. Go here if you want a happy, comfortable break with superb pristine showers, excellent laundry, washing up facilities and those little extra's that make your trip wonderful. Number 1 choice for families, couples and those wanting to escape from the rat race.
What a fantastic weekend - booked the rally field for my husbands birthday. 7 caravans and one camper van. John the owner/warden couldn't have been anymore helpful. Such a friendly fella ( will look out for you at next years TT Classic). We were given all the information we needed, shown where to camp, even spare power extensions and adapters were left out for us so we could all camp in a circle, was great. We had intended to go to the local pub which is just a 10 minute stroll down the river bank but we were having such a good time at the camp we never got there. All the facilities were spot on, showers were hot and really powerful and clean at all times. Would definitely recommend this site for either a group booking or tents on the rally field or for couples/families on the touring site which is excellent. Both are fantastic. Well done to the owners you have a hidden gem. Can't praise it enough.
For our first time out with a van rather than a tent we chose this site from an advert in the caravan club book for 4 days.
We were warmly welcomed by 'John in Reception', who give us a really helpful information booklet (this contained all the usual question answers!), and a feedback card, we were then taken to our pitch.
The site does not have any hard standing, but each pitch has its own water and electric supply which was great, our pitch was level and free draining.
The toilet block has the best showers we have ever been too and are really powerful. The family shower room is a really good idea so you can all get changed and shower the little ones in privacy.
They are spotless too and 'John in Reception' doubles as the cleaner too!
Ample pot washing for sinks and the vending shop sells bacon, milk, eggs, cans of pop etc. 24 hours a day. Also a pay laundry for those who need it. The book swap is a nice idea too. There are lots of hanging baskets and planters stuffed with flowers which look great.
The location is quiet and by the river, with a 'real' country pub a 10 minute walk away. The landlord's a quirky young chap and full of beans, the food we had was excellent as well as a selection of real ales. The BBQ ribs and Steak and Ale pie were lush, a must if you go. One tip, avoid the 'Apple and Pear' Scrumpy, as its more of an anaesthetic than a cider, its too good!
The area has lots to see and do, Newark, Lincoln, Sherwood Forest, the old hall at Gainsborough all a short drive away. I'm a golf fan and I could live here! Where else on Earth can you play 18 holes for £6 - Brilliant. (10 mins away).
All in all we had a fab time, miles of walks, friendly staff team, good boozer, we will certainly return. To us its an old fashioned site with modern facilities and customer service in a fabulous area.
Our only negative was the brewery in the village, we took the Springhead brewery tour, which was expensive and short. We thought the beer was a bit 'off' and the brewery tap was very 'local', so that's a steer well clear of. Obviously not the camp sites fault though!
We thought the feedback card was a great idea too and gave our thoughts at the time.
After an awful year of pre-planned camping last year, we decided to do things a little more ad hoc this year. So when we saw it was going to be sunny on the bank holiday weekend, we decided to dust off the tent. I emailed the site on the Friday evening and before 9am the next morning they had emailed back to ask me to call to confirm the booking. I called and left a message and they phoned back straight away. Despite it being last minute they were very accommodating for our 2 night stay.
On arrival at the site (about 3 hours after the booking confirmation), they showed us to the pitch in a large flat field. There was plenty of space between the pitches and acres of grass for the kids to play on. Some of the pitches had electric hook ups but we were a little late in booking so missed out. The electric heater was sorely missed for those two nights!
The facilities were spotless and the area is lovely. There is a public footpath which leads from the site and runs alongside the river to the local village. There are some lovely pubs nearby (and at least a couple of breweries open to the public). I had the homebrew with me so didn't need to go to them but they looked good from the outside!
We visited Sundown Adventureland which was thoroughly enjoyed by a 3 and 7 year old, although looked a little dated to me!
All in all a lovely family site and we will definitely go back.
Stayed at this fantastic site for 2 nights, having picked it at random from our sitebook. We stayed in the rally field with hook up. We were warmly greeted on our arrival and shown our pitch. The toilets and showers were spotless. The water was very hot and the showers very powerful.
The location was easy to find and a gentle stroll along the riverbank takes you to the nearest pub serving local beers.
Machine on site delivering essentials e. G. Eggs and bacon etc each for £1. Excellent!
This is a working farm and there are horses in paddocks in the rally field.
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be going back!
We've just come back from three nights at Trentfield Farm.
I have to say that we were really really disappointed with the Power Stations - not mentioned at all on any of their material. We wouldn't have gone if we'd known. I didn't look on here before I came!
We were disturbed every night with mechanical noises from the Stations - there was 10 families in our group who all were woken up. But most importantly the first night we experienced explosive bangs - the last one at ten pm which lasted for about 4 or 5 mins. It was really scary and made the kids cry - they wanted to come home and were really unsettled. We genuinely thought it was an explosion and were looking in local press. I feel the site should have a duty of care to tell families about this. It also resulted in all our cars and tents being covered in coal dust. Not nice.
You must take this into account when you are deciding to come here.
On the positive - and there are lots - the welcome was friendly. The loos ran out of loo roll twice but once mentioned the guy put some more out straight away. The showers were hot and powerful. A good site for being relaxed - campfires allowed etc. Lovely walks down the river.
But please don't go if you aren't happy to site next to a 8 tower Power Station and pylons coming out in every direction from it across the UK. Yes there are trees but the sheer height, and plumes of steam or coal dust coming from them can't be denied. If you do come I would recommend you go in the Rally field as it's further away.
Our little van doesn't go very fast so we took over 3.5 hours to get to this campsite and we were very tired. So we had a little wobble when the satnav said we were there - it was a short bit further on, but when we pulled in we were very impressed.
The welcome we had was very friendly and the owners could not have been more helpful. The campsite wasn't very busy so we had a choice of pitches (which is lovely as so many don't seem to want to give the choice) and so we had a great position and loads of space round us.
We were in a field right next to the river trent, and we could walk along the river to the pub which was also very friendly.
The facilities were excellent and very clean, and the freezer was incredibly useful. We had read up in advance so we knew there wasn't a shop on site so we had all we needed to cook a healthy dinner - which we ignored that and ate at the pub which we enjoyed very much.
Can't recommend this site highly enough, we will return.
