 What a beautiful site. It is immaculately kept as are the fishing lakes. The toilet and shower were spotless. The owners are very friendly and helpful and are very willing to give their advice.
They recommended the Beehive in nearby Harthill for Sunday lunch and we weren't disappointed - one of the nicest lunches we've had for sometime. The site is very secure, the main gate is locked at night.
The fishing was very good although we didn't catch one of the 'bigguns'. David keeps a close eye on the lakes to ensure that the rules are abided by and that there aren't any problems.
Unfortunately, and this is the only downside to this site, the wind changed direction whilst we were there and the noise from the motorway became rather intrusive - the price to pay for the sunshine no doubt!

Well, what can we say that hasn't already been said?
This is a real gem of a site - so peaceful and well maintained and the toilet and shower are immaculate.
We visited this site as we now live in Worcestershire and wanted to visit the Sheffield area to visit relatives and friends and this site definitely fit the bill.
The location is excellent as it is very close to the M1. The approach to Horseshoe Lake is down a poorly maintained road but you will definitely not be disappointed when you arrive as the site is lovely and the owners will make you feel welcome from the outset.

Lovely small site, only 5 pitches, quiet and peaceful location next to fishing lakes.
No problem with electric hook up.
The owner could not have been more hospitable and helpful, with information and advice.
Single toilet and separate shower kept immaculately clean.
For a restful and relaxing few days we could not have asked for more.
You would not believe you were just a few minutes off the motorway, in the middle of a residential area ! Amazing.
Would most definitely recommend and come back.
For £ 12 per night inclusive could not have asked for any more, have stayed on sites costing a lot more that do not have the location and peace this site does. Thank you to the owners.

We stayed on this site for 4 nights over the Mayday weekend. The hosts are a great, friendly and helpful couple nothing is too much trouble.
The site is kept immaculate. the pitches are on the orchard.
The toilet and shower block are kept very clean with towels in the toilet. It is a nice quiet site even though the motorway is not far away.
If you wish to fish you have a choice of 3 lakes.
There are shops and a great chip shop only a couple of minutes drive away with Worksop town centre about 20 minutes drive.
David said there are a few walks to go on but I enjoyed relaxing while my partner fished.
There is also Rothervalley country park and Crystal Peaks shopping centre about 4. 5 miles away. This site is great if you wish to relax.
We will definitely be back, several times.

It was extremely wet but the camp field was beautifully kept. There was only 1 shower and 1 toilet but newly built and immaculately kept and ample for a small site.
The owners were really nice friendly and helpful.
The site is tucked away and secure the gates are locked at night so no intruders. There is also a fishing lake which gets busy on match days but we didn't find it a threat, and would be lovely for the enthusiasts.
We were able to cycle from site to the lovely Rother Vally Country Park and then as many miles as you choose,
There are buses from the village to many places and a park and ride about 3 Miles away to Sheffield. There are also lots of foot paths around but it was far to wet for us to venture too far in the mud.
The fee we felt was reasonable and we will be returning. A gem of a site.

This is a lovely peaceful site not far from the M1 motorway that ticked all the boxes for us. It is in a grassy orchard, and at this time of year we were allowed to help ourselves to the apples and pears from the mature fruit trees. After driving through houses off the main road through Wales we went through Horseshoe Lakes gates leading to a gravelled carpark. These gates are locked at night. Entrance to the 5 van site is straight ahead through another set of gates. There are fishing lakes either side of the site with entrances from the car park, and the building housing the toilet and shower for use of campers only is in the car park too. The owners are friendly and helpful and we will certainly be back. There is a regular bus service to Sheffield and Rotherham direct, also a railway station, Co-op and pub Duke of Leeds that is great for meals within walking distance.

A small, immaculately kept site in an unexpected idyllic setting at the end of a private housing estate, where you soon forget the soft murmurs of the M1.
The facilities provided include one toilet and one shower cubicle for the five caravan pitches set within a securely enclosed orchard. These were kept spotless throughout the day.
The orchard (a neat collection of apple, pear and plum trees) is set in between two separately enclosed medium sized fishing lakes (there is an additional toilet and cafe unit available for the day fishermen).
The site is secure and the front gates are locked each night.
A perfect location for us this particular weekend in July- we took part in an event at the Rother Valley Country Park a very short drive away. We also visited Chatsworth house (apprx 30 minutes drive south).
There is a Co-op supermarket on the high street that leads past the turning into Forge Road, and several take away shops. A BP garage is also conveniently located nearby.
David, the owner, is a genuinely lovely man, who takes great pride and pleasure in maintaining this little gem of a site he and his wife Marilyn have created.
We will most certainly return.

Just returned from a 5 night stay at this lovely site.Although the site is at the end of a small (private) housing estate we had no problems with access. The site is a very short and easy drive from the M1 and some traffic noise can be heard though once inside the van barely audible.
Entry is through a set of large gates which are locked at night for safety and across a gravelled parking area which is for the use of anyone staying on site as well as day fisherman, we were pitched just at the side of this area and noise was absolutely minimal even though fishermen were arriving from 7am.
Once inside there is a second gated area, the orchard where the pitches are.Fruit trees are around and though nothing in fruit at the time we were there Dave assured us that we would have been welcome to help ourselves if they had been.
The grass was very well kept as is the entire site.Chicken run at one end of the orchard though no noisy rooster to disturb anyones sleep.
One sanitary block in the car park which has a disabled access toilet, kept immaculately clean and a separate shower room with roomy shower tray, a curtain that actually reached into the tray to minimise spray and an electric adjustable shower. None of the push button or pay for your 5 minutes type shower here.There was another toilet and shower room combined at the side of the cafe.
Cafe open most mornings for breakfast and lunch for cold sandwiches, very reasonably priced too.
Fishing in two lakes,one at each side of the pitching area and good fishing too with plenty of fish, both numbers and varieties.
Nearby village has all the shops needed for groceries and takeaways who will apparently deliver to site. Bigger supermarkets nearby.
Dave and Marilyn both very friendly and obviously pay a lot of attention to the detail on their site
We had a very enjoyable stay and will definitely be back.

We visited this lovely little site to try out our new caravan, bought from a nearby dealers. The owners could not have been more helpful and friendly and sited us in the small orchard amid apple, plum and pear trees, with the instruction to 'help ourselves'. Despite a fair amount of vehicles in the adjoining carpark where fishermen came to use the two small lakes on site, we had a lovely, peaceful stay behind large iron gates. The toilet and shower were clean and quite new. Entrance is through a housing estate and is quite tight. There is also a rather blind corner to negotiate when returning to the main road so care is needed. Unfortunately we could only stay for one night but would certainly return if in the area. Well recommended.

This is a fishermans paradise - well stocked lakes and knowledgeable owner. The fish are hard fighting and take no prisoners.
We stayed here for 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend. The campsite is small and secure, the owner keeps a watchful eye out all the time. There are two toilets and showers on site which is plenty to support the 5 pitches it has, each of which are kept exceptionally clean. The small cafe is a useful addition for a hot breakfast or cold lunch.
If booking specifically for the fishing it may be worth checking if any matches on the big lake, as the pegs soon fill up leaving you having to fish the smaller lake.
The only main criticism is the constant 'drone' of traffic from the M1. This did not put me off, but if you are looking for perfect peace and tranquillity, it my be worth noting.
I look forward to returning to take on the carp again.
