Date of Visit: April 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Bertiebeagle 3 reviews from this member

 Just spent Easter break here the site very clean and staff very helpful. The point about the power station yes you can see it but cant say I heard and noise from it.

The shower problem was bad as the gents floor got flooded when showers were used, even using the loos you was stood in water.

Not the cheapest site I've been on for what's on it £99 for 3 nights for a caravan 2 adults 1 child and a dog.

Local pub is now closed but would have been a great place to walk to if open.

Hope they get the showers sorted and think of the price its getting close to sites with pools and clubs on.

 Positives:

We arrived on the site on a lovely sunny day, the well maintained pitch was level, the price of the pitch was very reasonable, the toilet facilities and showers were very clean, the pub was a 15 minute walk away, very good fishing on a day ticket on the river trent, just over the flood bank. The site owners were very helpful.

Negatives.

It was difficult finding a shop so take as much as you can with you. They don't allow night fishing on the river.

Overall, I would recommend this site.

 A very quiet campsite with no pub, clubhouse, or other noisy features. Perfect for a quiet getaway.

The facilities were good with plenty of washing up sinks, a good toilet block, and the family showers (portable cabins with 2 showers and large changing area) are a great idea: more sites should have them.

We didn't have electric hookup, and our pitch on the river side of the site was large, with loads of space between us and the pitches on either side. The pitches with electric hook up appeared to have less room, but were still not crammed in.

Not much to do on site, but plenty of space in the middle for kids to play, and loads of walking along the river or past the power station.

We were very happy with our weekend here, and will definitely be back for more.

Reviewer: Mietziecats 7 reviews from this member

 Lovely site.

We enjoyed our stay here. We found the site to be peaceful and the owners very friendly and helpful. The site was fully booked during our stay, but there was still plenty of room and the facilities were more then adequate. No long queues for showers, they were always clean, hot and the family units are a great asset.

Friends we stayed with found the local pub to be good, but wasn't serving food at the time.

Pitches are level, very well drained, but watch your tent pegs as there seems to be a layer of stones under the turf.

There is no kids play area but our children had plenty of room to run around and play and were happy enough.

We enjoyed discovering the surrounding areas and would deff come again. Our only dislike was the view of the nearby power station, but it was not enough to ruin our stay.

 Lovely site very peaceful the staff were friendly, the information leaflet given on arrival was very detailed, plenty of space between caravans. Toilet block was clean. Down side was the rubbish on the floor around bins which were over flowing.

The rally field was full but no noise disturbance at night.

Great location for river walks although the local pub - The Ferry Boat in we didn't like dirty glasses etc.

Lots to do nearby we enjoyed fishing at one of the local lakes that was detailed in the leaflet.

Reviewer: Monkeyboy007 1 review from this member

 We arrived at Trentfield and was very disappointed about how close the power station was. Nobody seems to have commented on this site about them and find this strange, especially as we had sirens going off in the night! (we were told by staff and other campers that this had never happened before but still was annoying!)

The campsite itself was clean and held up well with the rain we had. The children loved the walks by the river and making new friends around the campsite.

We thought the family shower blocks were great and used them a lot but were less than happy with the amount of waiting for showers in the normal shower blocks.

Overall our stay at Trentfield was a great success but a few points (power station, showers and bins) let the site down a little.

Reviewer: Dawniedolly 2 reviews from this member

 What a lovely site! Very pleasant greeting and taken to our pitch as it was our first trip out in our caravan so he put us in an easy position, Thanks! Good facilities with family shower rooms which were great for us. There is a vending machine with milk, cheese etc. Which is a great idea, it was a little on the expensive side though. There is a pub called the Ferry Boat Inn within walking distance which unfortunately isn't doing food at the moment but within 5 minutes drive is the White Swan (near Dunham Bridge) which did really lovely home cooked food that we would recommend. All in all, a very nice site that we would definitely recommend!

Reviewer: Cara.bf 1 review from this member

 Nice campsite. With a river-side field location. A Great place for a quiet get-away, especially for dog-walkers (dog-friendly pub just down road! - 'Ferry Boat Inn', loads of river-side walks to get to it, the perfect excuse to take the dog a walk!) Small quiet roads with not much traffic on them around campsite. Overall, Nice relaxing and quiet campsite. Enjoyed my stay here and will return. Ice cream van visited in afternoon which was a bonus! Shower blocks clean and practical with two family shower rooms available.

 Visited Trentfield for a long weekend and found it a pleasant easy going site. EHU Pitches were large and very flat but there seemed to be stones about 2 inch down near every peg we put in so we bent quite a lot of pegs until we got the knack how to put them in.

Manager of the site seemed very friendly and recommended some takeaways for the first night of which the 'China Moon' we used, this is near the A1 junction at Markham. It is a restaurant really so was a bit expensive for a takeaway but the food was top notch.

All EHU pitches on the tent rally field were taken up by Friday night and then middle of the field filled up as well but it didn't feel overcrowded.

Showers and toilets were clean but could have looked cosmetically better if there was more tiles than painted breeze block to look at. Having said that though the power showers in the mens toilet was one of the best I have been in.

The Portable cabin family showers are a very good idea if you have small children. We never really had to queue even though it got quite busy on the Saturday.

Ideal base for Sunndown kids place. Just 5 mins away. Newark is a nice market town 30 mins away. It did lack a kiddies play area but there was no issue with them playing football in front of the tent. Would definitely use again if wanting to stay in the area.

 As with previous post, this was our first ever camping experience and we couldn't have chosen a nicer site. We had rain on our first day but the ground remained solid, it didn't get muddy or boggy. Fortunately the next two days were glorious and showed the beauty of the surrounding area.

The facilities were cleaned daily. Large washing up area. Laundry room. There are three toilets in the ladies and three in the gents with two lockable showers in each, with plenty of room to keep clothes dry and a seat to sit on. There is a hairdryer in the ladies also. There are also two large family shower units at the side. We never had to queue for the toilets or a shower.

From booking the site to leaving, the staff were friendly and approachable. Quiet time is from 10.45pm and was respected by all. In fact it was deadly quiet by 10. The main field was mainly tourers and the rally field all tents, which is where we were, and there was ample room. It also has EHU. There is also some lighting on the site so going to the loo in the middle of the night did not require a torch! Given brochure of local attractions on arrival and from this found excellent trips in it. Would definitely recommend this site and will be returning.

Reviewer: Gibsonshaw 1 review from this member

 This was our first ever camping trip and I don't think we could have picked a better site, the ground is flat and we was really pleased with the view straight onto the river.

The welcome we received was 1st class, friendly and very helpful and we got the choice of where we wanted to pitch our tent. The shower / toilet facilities was basic but clean with a hairdryer and plug point for my straighteners (a must!) all free of charge.

The food preparation and washing up room was clean and constantly had hot water. They even charged my phone for me at reception, also free of charge! The only downside is the lack of shop on site, we was lucky enough to have glorious weather and some cold soft drinks would have been nice.

The walks surrounding Trentfield are lovely and the walk along the river towards the Ferry boat inn is pictures, and not to far away to stagger back after a few. Unfortunately the pub wasn't serving food as its up for sale (or should I say under offer), however we were lucky enough to meet the (possible) new landlord / lady who are lovely people who have big ideas for the Ferry boat and we cant wait to return to see them. The locals was also very welcoming and friendly.

All in all we had a wonderful few days and we will be visiting again in the very near future

 Booked this site for one night as a stopover on the way home from buying a combi camp t/t. Brilliant place, loads of hook up's, toilets and showers were clean,hot water for washing up.

Has a washing machine you can hire,a fridge / freezer you can use for food or ice packs. Field was well kept and everyone had loads of space. The area looked great for walking. Would stay here again!

Reviewer: Camillam 3 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic site. We stayed bank holiday weekend but because they ask you to pitch round the edges there is still loads of room for you to sit out & for the kids to run round & play.

The facilities were very clean & the staff were very friendly & helpful. This was our 2nd stay & it won't be our last.

You can just pitch tent park the car & go for loads of lovely walks or just chillax on the site. What more can I say. Brilliant.

Reviewer: Wolla 5 reviews from this member

 Welcome was very friendly, and we were pleased with the pitches we were allocated.

The field is lovely and flat, with wonderful views (the power station really doesn't spoil the views - just look the other way!)

Lovely walk along the river from the campsite - didn't venture into the local pub, but it looked nice from the outside.

If you've got small children with you and want a day out can highly recommend Sundown Adventure Land which is only about 3 miles up the road. We spent 5 hours there on the Saturday and only came away because we were too hot and tired to stay any longer.

The facilities were ok - I've seen better and I've seen worse, but they did the job. Shower was nice and hot and free, and there was a free hairdryer - fab.

The only slight mar on the weekend was the noise after the 'curfew'. On the first night a large family group were making a lot of noise way after midnight.

And on the 2nd night a group of 20 teenagers were pitched just along from us and although they were pretty well behaved considering, it wasn't ideal.

We would go back to Trentfield if we were visiting the area.

Reviewer: Ovcubberley 6 reviews from this member

 Wow! This was our first camping trip of this season and our first visit to Trentfield.

A great site - one of the most even pitches we've ever had, in a beautiful location.

We arrived at sunset, but were greeted by an open reception with cheerful staff and a full guide book with really useful information, not a list of rules and regs.

We were in the main field (as we were joining a group with a caravan). Lovely open field without restrictive pitches - plenty of room for kids to play. The flat, nicely kept pitch was great, and even after a weekend of trampling by our party, was mud free.

The facilities were great - plenty of sinks in the pot washing room, free access to a freezer for ice packs and access to a washing machine at a small charge.

The toilets had a couple of large shower rooms with plenty of hot water and ample space to change (a free use of a hairdryer). Everything was kept clean and well stocked. Clearly marked recycling bins were a nice bonus. There were also a couple of family shower rooms next to the toilet block - but, with no queue for a morning shower - we didn't need to use these.

When setting off for a walk along the river, we passed the second camping field - looks equally good, with direct access to the river bank. The walk through to the village and the village itself was lovely, though we didn't get the chance to sample the local pub. There were a nice choice of walks direct from the site listed in the guide book - another nice touch.

All in all, this was a great place to take a toddler - lots of safe space to roam about in and really good access to lots of local attractions. Will definitely be back again in the summer.
