WOW, Just come back from our Summer Holidays at Trentfield Farm, and had a fantastic time.
Where do I start… Location. It could not be better, ideal for visiting Lincoln, Nottingham (Although a bit further), Sherwood Forest, Clumber Park and the 2 local towns Newark and Retford both of which have supermarkets etc. Its 5 minutes drive to Sundown Adventureland which is ideal for under 10’s. Clumber Park is about 15 minutes away. Ideal for cycling and walks through the woods.
The site itself is well facilitated with toilets & showers, however, the 2 best bits for us was the family shower rooms, (2 showers and changing area which can be locked), the vending shop which is open 24 hours! This has bread, milk, butter, bacon & BBQ stuff and there is a new washing up room with 7 sinks, the laundry has also been updated with 2 pay washing machines and a tumble drier.
We were in the Rally field which is level, free draining (we had a huge downpour), and has some new electric hook up points, fishing on the River Trent was free and 1 minute walk away. As the web site says do come if you want nature, piece and quiet, and don’t come if you expect a swimming pool and all the trimmings. Other good bits is that there is an area for playing ball games, flying kites etc without affecting anyone else.
On arrival we were given a booklet worthy of a 5* hotel telling us everything from the recycling policy, wildlife walks from the site and even the local dentists phone number, nothing seems to be missed! The Ferry Boat inn pub is 5 minutes walk away where the staff were friendly, but the foods very basic, however, the Eyre arms in the next village was outstanding.
We felt it was a modern site, with really friendly staff, that’s good value, with toilets cleaned every few hours, with good old fashioned campsite values, and would without doubt recommend a holiday here. The web site was informative and not “over sold”, and it did exactly what it said on the tin, 5* for us and we have already rebooked.
Trentfield farm is a lovely quiet site. Has clean modern toilets, showers laundry and washing up facilities. The main field upon which we stayed is large and and has numerous water points and electric hook ups.
We were camping in a a tent for just 3 days and a had a great time. Local facilities in Rampton are good, post office, shop pub etc. Laneham has a good pub too.
We have two small children and visited sundown adventure land just up the road.
Basically for a low cost breakaway for the young family I would recommend the site to anyone.
A little hard to find,but the location alone makes it well worth the visit.Lots of small villages also worth visiting.The local pub,the ferry,is a few minutes walk, its ok,but food is only being served at the weekends,the Eyre pub in Rampton is great,with real ales,about 1/2 hour walk(5 mins in car!)
We had lots of rain which made the grass boggy, we were put in the middle of the field, as the hedged pitches on the edges of the field seemed to be for seasonal pitches, no problems though. The toilets were built from painted breeze blocks, which they attempted to keep clean as best as they could! There was a rally in the next field,singing and playing instruments they had fun in the rain, and were quiet around 10.30 (nice folk).
There is a power station fairly close but you soon forget about it due to the other views left, right, and rear!
The main problems were the chemical wc point, which was a grid over the sewer pipe, surrounded with mud this needs sorting, and the toilets need attention, which I think they may be doing soon. DONT let this put you off! Oh yes, the river fishing is great/relaxing too.
We stayed here for a rally last year, it is a lovely small site located next to the river which was ideal for walks.
The camping field is flat and the staff were friendly.
The shower, toilet and washing up facilities were basic but very clean with plenty of hot water.
There are freezers next to the kitchen area where you can store frozen food and the staff in the office will charge your mobile for you free of charge.
We visited Trentfield in July 2009, what an excellent site! We stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed driving into Lincoln, which is only a short drive away. Site facilities - showers and toilets very clean, hairdryer in ladies toilets. Located right near the river with a lovely walk. We are back there again in July 2010 and cannot wait!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site, the staff are lovely and friendly and cannot do enough to please.
Just had a brilliant weekend here on our first ever camping trip with our kids (aged 5 and 3). It was excellent value for money - £25 for two nights. What a bargain! The campsite owner was welcoming and showed us to where we could set up and the pitch was much bigger than I thought it would be. We had loads of space for the tent and for the kids to play ball games in the middle of the field. The atmosphere at the campsite was really relaxed, and everyone respected quiet time after about 11pm.
The facilities were basic but clean. Only one sink for pot washing, so always a queue at busy times but plenty of hot water.
This site is really close to the power station, but as we were in the rally field we didn't even know it was there as it was completely hidden from view. The site could not be better placed for a trip to Sundown Adventureland, which was a great day out for the kids - we were there in five minutes! We tried the local pub (Ferry Boat?) for a Sunday lunch, but they were not yet serving food when we arrived at about 12.30 because the landlord had a late night the night before! Instead we stopped for food at Tuxford Windmill tearoom about 10 mins down the road and this was really lovely. You can pay extra to go inside the windmill which is still working and they use the flour to make the bread for the tearoom every day. Highly recommended.
I would definitely recommend Trentfield campsite and hope to go back soon, maybe with some friends. We enjoyed it so much we are off to Matlock next weekend in the tent!
The site itself is clean and positioned right next to the River Trent. The field we were in was flat and spacious and the camping was delightful.
The Toilets were basic but generally clean. The CPD was a drain cover in the grass with a grate above the sewer and a piece of hose connected to a standpipe. This was a painful and horrible experience. The area around the drain needs to be concrete so it can be cleaned down at the very least. There was all sort of 'stuff' around the area I had to stand in to clean the portaloo effectively. And who knows what was on the hosepipe.
I have tried to be honest with my review and hope this helps others and filters back to the site where they can improve the areas mentioned above
Just got back from this site where we had our annual 'PROBEFEST'
What a great site.The rally field was fantastic lovely and level and well cut
John F couldn't have been more helpful rigging up extension leads from the house as we were using a lot of power to run our mobile cafe and the karaoke and generally looking after us
Toilets and showers were kept lovely and clean at all times
Elaine and John the owners were super helpful and I'm pleased to say they will have us back next year
Special thanks goes to Blue's friend whose name I didn't catch but who sent a 4 page text to a guy who got lost with directions.
The staff could not have been more helpful, they were absolutely lovely from the moment we arrived until the moment that we left.
The surroundings are terrific with lovely walks along the side of the river Trent. Power stations are not to everyone's taste however I knew it was there before I booked, it is worth a look from the riverside path as it is an impressive beast. A further unexpected plus was some piles of aggregate we passed near to the stacks. The piles were absolutely full of birds which had dug little caves into the makeshift cliffs. I am afraid that I am no Bill Oddie so I don't know what they were but they were great to watch. One downside to the power station was that although I could not hear it at all by day I was aware of a low throb from it overnight, I managed to sleep but I was conscious of it when I went to bed.
The site itself was really nice, we were given a terrific amount of room for our tent, the pitch was in a nice open field and was one of the largest we have had anywhere, the ground was level and well drained, top marks.
The facilities were a little basic but they were largely clean. We did have to queue for the washing up room and the draining unit was blocked however the washing facilities are being extended. I mention it here but it would not stop me returning.
We visited the Local pub "The Ferry" when we arrived. It was not quite what I expected, I would describe it as a working mans pub. Our experience there was really good, we had a pretty basic but tasty lunch and the staff were friendly. They had no problems with children, my son and I played pool with the barman and had a chat on the patio.
There was however one big disappointment with the booking. I have no doubt that this is a very quiet site normally and that was exactly what we were looking for. However on the weekend that we were here there was a Ford Probe Rally with about 50'ish cars. They were well behaved and sociable bunch but I am afraid that on the Saturday night there was a function arranged in their marquee which led to loud music booming around the site. I took a walk around and although it did not sound too bad behind some of the buildings it was certainly loud where we were. The low point was a strident Karaoke version of 'Alice, Alice, who the F*** is Alice'. Having an eight year old son this was really not good enough. I spoke to the chap on duty and to his great credit he asked that the music and language be toned down.
I am sorry to say that this did put a dampener on an otherwise excellent site. I don't mind people having rallies; I just wish that I had been warned about it when I made my booking. I would have gone somewhere else and come back another day to enjoy what is no doubt an otherwise lovely rural site.
Subject to rallies, and next time I will check first, I would go back.
The gent working at this site helped us to erect our tent and was very good, it is a lovely flat site, and well placed for visiting wonderful areas. It was very quiet when we visited, so there was no problem with showers, loos etc, my only real criticism of the site is that it had no drying facilities, we were only there for 3 nights so it wasn't a problem to us but if anyone was staying longer and staying in a tent I imagine it would have been a real annoyance. Other than that we would use it again if we were going that way.
Just spent a long weekend at the site with friends. Must say was a little worried seeing the stacks from the local power station as we got close to the site. However what a lovely site and owners. The camping field was well cut and neat. There was plenty of room for all the kids to play rounders or other ball games. Just over the rise at the field end was the river Trent. The shower block was fine and with plenty of hot water. The washing up area only had two sinks but the owner was in the process of building a new washing up area. Lincoln is only a short drive away with all its attractions. There is a pub within easy walking distance if you fancy a drink. The food was good value but the staff could do with some training. It's the only time I have ever had to take my own order. When the food did came out there was an hour between the first meal and the last meals arrival! (13 in our party).
A nice pleasant site with fair prices. Electrical hookups available for tents as well as caravans and both tents and caravans are welcome in the same field together. View is a bit odd with 3 great big electricity burning towers but otherwise it's a lovely location with a 45 minute walk to a really nice pub that does fantastic lunches and with a playground for the kids. Another pub is just 5-10 mins away. Toilet block is basic and clean. Ground conditions are very good. Very helpful owners and they even recharge leisure batteries for you. Freezer supplied on site which is great for refreezing freezer blocks or just keeping stuff in.
We stayed at this campsite for 4 nights from 24th May 2009 to 29th May 2009 in a 6 berth Vango Diablo Tent. 2 adults (34 and 26) , 2 children (7 and 4). I do not want to recommend it because I want to keep it a secret all for myself - lol. The site is great - I agree with the previous review - I wish it had a children's play area and an on-site shop. It currently only has a vending machine which sells bacon, sausage and milk (UHT). I cannot complain however as their web site does state this when booking and it is such a lovely campsite I would definitely go back. Clean, friendly, peaceful and scenic (including the power station). There is loads to do in the area - sundown pets adventure (children under 10 a must - 5 mins away), Lincoln castle and cathedral (30 mins), Skegness (1 hr 30 mins), homemade ice cream parlour (15 mins away - cannot remember the name but it is in the welcome pack) and Sherwood forest (major oak - 30 mins away).
All visited while we were on holiday and the kids had the best days. I know this is not to everyones taste but I went running everyday and the routes and scenery were bliss. We will definitely go back - highly recommended.
The welcome pack provided when you book in is brilliant and gives you all the info needed. A lot of good pubs with food detailed - Eyre Arms in Rampton did exceptionally good food.
Please note - If you want an on-site pool, clubhouse, games machines etc. Then this site is not for you. Do not get me wrong I love those sites as well but this holiday was different and was made special by the surroundings.
We visited here for the first Bank Holiday weekend and stayed on the Rally Field. We were located next to the only water tap and kept getting lots of children mucking around near our tent! It would be best to avoid the telegraph pole with the tap!
The site is great, very peaceful. The power station was nearer than I thought! The older two had a ball rolling down the hilly bank!
Having read previous reviews I knew that it was supposed to be a quiet site, and how truthful they were - absolutely no noise after 10.30pm which was blissful.
We stayed the first Bank Holiday in May and there was plenty of room for our two large tents. Although we had a 'lovely' view of the power station, it was surprisingly pretty at night when lit up.
The site itself was basic with no shop or play area, but there was plenty of space for the children to play and the local shop wasn't far away. The showers and hairdryer (both free),and toilets were spotlessly clean- never a queue and their was always toilet roll available.
Sundown park was only 5 mins away which my children both 6 and 2 thoroughly enjoyed- although older children could probably get bored as there are only 3 basic rides.
Lovely site, would definitely recommend if you want a quiet site and are prepared to entertain your own children.
