Stayed at the site at the end of October 2010 in a tourer and can’t fault the place. From the outset we were met by friendly staff at the reception who explained the layout of the site etc.
I must say that from other reviews we were a bit sceptical of this site due to comments of A1 noise and small pitches.
Firstly the A1. You are staying at a campsite next to the A1, surely it can’t come as a surprise that you hear some road noise, can it? The site has a big earth mound around the side bordering the A1 which does a good job of cutting out noise, but if you want an absolutely beautiful pitch which overlooks the sites fantastic fishing lake then this must be a small price to pay. Pitches towards the entrance will be quieter.
Secondly the pitch size. I don’t know if they have been changed very recently but I can say that our pitch (50) was enormous. We had car, caravan, awning and space for a visitor car at the side with room to spare. We had a look around the site and didn’t see a small pitch.
There is a nice leisurely walk around the site itself which takes in the mound overlooking the A1, I would recommend this especially if you are out exercising the dogs. At the top they have put a few benches so you can sit and watch the world go by.
TV reception was great, we had a full digital reception on the van Ariel but some did put TV Ariel’s up. Phone reception was also great on the O2 network with full reception and good 3G.
Toilet blocks were neat and tidy and yes they did only have two showers but we didn’t have to wait but the site wasn’t full so maybe that was why.
This is a lovely site and the owners do well to make it appeal such as the numerous styled benches and lovely hut near the fishing lake, this itself is really nice made from reclaimed materials.
Please be aware of the lakes if you have youngsters.
If you are an angler this is the site for you with its lake, we are not anglers but really enjoyed the lakes and atmosphere of the place.
Close to Clumber park also and plenty of National trust properties about also.
Now we have found this site we will definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending the site.
The site is clean and well kept but we were disappointed with our stay there. We were sited just behind the A1 and the noise kept us awake at night. The toilet block was clean but only had two showers which may be a problem at busy times. This site is not suitable for young children. We had our grandchildren with us aged 6 and 3 and were made to feel uncomfortable when they were playing on the grass directly in front of our caravan. The caravan and awning were on a hard standing and we personally would have preferred the awning to be on grass.
I had been to this site before, so I knew them and asked them to store my caravan which they did, for a few weeks - fairly pricy, but the van was kept under lock and key. When I came back the warden made some remark on account of my van being old, so they put me in a quiet corner (out of sight!) which suited me just fine. The site is useful for me as I am in Newark frequently, but I prefer it outside the season when it's less busy.
Facilities are good, but not enough toilets and showers for busy times. Washing machine is a plus. The nice village (Norwell) is 2 miles away with a nice village shop, although there is a village shop also near the site (100 yards), in the village of Cromwell.Shopping also possible at the petrol station off the A1 which is in walking distance. I don't chose sites for child-friendliness, but I don't think there is a playground, or much space for children to roam.
Norwell has a very nice put (Plough) with excellent food, very friendly, family run.
A river-side pub with garden is in North Muskham, one exit south of Cromwell/Norwell, towards Newark. Newark is a friendly market town, nice to wander about in.
Just there last weekend. Decided we relaxed that much that we would leave it pitched till this weekend. Offered great rates to do this. Owners really lovely, and helpful. Site impeccably clean.
Pitch size accommodates my twin axle, awning and big 4x4 so not sure about other post re size of pitches. Not into into fishing, but lovely setting around lake if you are. Very busy in that area but we chose to be close to dog walk as we have a puppy being trained.
Can't hear any road noise but we are at the end of site furthest away from A1.
We had a lovely stay here for 2 nights only but it was very pleasant. Nice walks for the dog and the village is nice too.
The facilities are good, clean and its very organised and a popular place. The showers are good and clean, but only 2 per block, might be a queue if you was there in peak season.
We didn't have any problem with the A1 noise.
We didn't put our awning up but think it might have been a squeeze if we had needed to as the pitches are not too big.
The weather was kind to us on our 4 night stay, so we decided not to put our awning up, which was just as well. This was because the pitches were not quite big enough to accommodate a car, awning and caravan sited in the way that was requested by the site leaflet.
The site was very pretty and well looked after, toilets etc very clean. We didn't have a noise problem from the nearby A1 as some reviews had said, and liked the locality of the little shop along the lane. The staff were friendly and helpful and couldn't be faulted in any way.
We would recommend this site to friends etc although a little pricey during the half term week !
We arrived very late (due to the usual sat nav problems, also Google maps had shown Milestone to be down the opposite end of the road) and in the dark and were meant to be in the late night arrivals area, but thankfully my Mum had paid the fees and positioned her 'motorhome' sign in our space. We snook on.
We loved the site, yes it was busy but due to me being a lazy bum, we didn't wait once for a shower (got there just before closing time both days). The shower blocks were both incredibly clean and well maintained. The gardens, lakes and whole landscape you can see are very well cared for. Had a nice chat with the male owner whilst he was cleaning, he really values his customers and was very friendly. They've not had the site that long and have spent a lot of money on doing it up.
The location of the site was perfect for our requirements. We were meeting up with my Mum in her Motorhome, who'd come all the way from Cornwall and we'd driven from the Lake District. We headed over with the kids to see my elderly grandparents who live in East Drayton, about a 7 mile drive. 4 generations together for dinner.
You could hear a small amount of road noise, that didn't affect our stay in any way. We were supposed to all stay on Clumber Park CC site, but there was a rally on that weekend. Clumber is much quieter, but the site isn't cared for nearly as much.
My Mum complained of not a lot of space but compared to some site's we've been on, we thought there was plenty of room. It just shows we're all different, and it also depends which end of the country you come from.
Would definitely visit this site again, probably for the same reasons as before.
Arrived about Friday at 1.00pm, already quite a few people were there, we wanted a pitch beside the lake as my OH and son were going fishing, luckily we got a pitch but had we arrived an hour later we would not have been in luck, it is first come first served basis. There are 100 pitches some hard standing and some grass, they were huge pitches so although campsite was full it never felt crowded.
Fish and Chip van came on Friday night 6.00pm to 7.30pm absolutely beautiful and very cheap.
OH and son caught some huge fish, personal bests actually, and they fish a lot. Cost £4.00 per day to fish, well worth it. They cannot wait to go back.
There are two toilet blocks one either end of the site, this is possibly my only downside, each block has only 4 toilets and 2 showers, so as you would expect I did have to wait about 30mins for a shower on the Sunday before we left.
There is a little road noise due to the closeness of the A1 and also a train does run past a field close by, but not enough noise to really disturb anyone.
If you are using Sat Nav please be aware that most people we spoke to, their sat nav had not taken them to the site but just directed them to A1 and then said 'arrived at destination' We spent about 10minutes trying to find it with our satnav redirecting us all the time in the wrong direction. Even when we were on site it keep telling us to turn as soon as possible. Mentioned this to the wardens who said this happens all the time.
If you are coming from North turn when you see the sign for the Doll Museum and follow the directions for that. If coming from the South turn just past the diner signposted Cromwell then turn left, site is on the right.
Even though we had a few niggles with this site we will definitely be returning in the future and would recommend it to anyone.
I agree with everything said but only have one bugbear. The proximity of the A1 gave us road noise all through the night but not enough to stop us from sleeping. We went mid-week so wonder whether the weekend traffic with fewer HGV's is quieter.
Fully booked for Easter 2010.
It is an CC associate site but is quite small - about 100 pitches but stretched along a couple of small lakes so there is never an impression of a 'large field' site. The far loos/shower block is being renovated and is only open at weekends but this is not a problem as we used the disabled loo/shower to avoid a longer walk to the other block.
Lots of ducks, 2 coot and 2 moorhen. Some rabbits!
Hard standings so take a lump hammer and your drill. Otherwise an excellent site. Will definitely return.Agree with all other positive comments. Actually managed to get some digital channels on caravan tv aerial. First and only time I have ever managed this.
Lakes v pretty. No noise from roads or rail. A perfect break. Very peaceful. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole long weekend despite appalling weather
