"Grounds were clean and very well looked after."
"Very clean and warm facilities."
Cons:
"The facilities are looking quite tired, although they were always kept clean despite the amount of use they were getting."
"Toilets old and in need of upgrades."
"The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because the toilets/showers are not kept clean enough when the site is busy."
"Facilities were quite rudimentary for such an expensive site."
Staff and Service

"Friendly and helpful staff spotlessly clean and big showers and toilets all in all a really good campsite."
"Wardens and staff very helpful."
"Staff are fantastic and great pitches along the river."
Cons:
"Staff are friendly but refuse to act on people who break the rules."
"The staff are inconsiderate and do not see things from people's view point."
"But they say you never know how good a place is until you have a problem they have to deal with. That's where these fell down. Badly."
Facilities and Amenities
Pros:
"The site offers plenty of pitches to suit individual needs and the facilities are great including the food vans."

"A very good caravan site ' very good pitches excellent showers and toilets."
Cons:
"The park has two kids play parks that are due an update, they are small and have dated equipment."
"Site has been deteriorating over the years, the play area is unsafe and the river is polluted."
"No clubhouse so no bar, restaurant or place to watch live sport."
"No recycling facilities & the onsite shop has very limited opening hours."
"Slightly disappointed that the toilets are still closed, we knew this when we booked but this is the parks choice not current guidance - other parks have the toilets open."
Value and Pricing
Pros:
"We have just got back home from a long weekend here and may i say it is amazing the shop is very well priced and the staff are very nice ve had a very good stay and loved every minute of been here thank you we will be coming back later in the year."
"Its also not too expensive to make an affordable few days away."
"Even the shop is great - obviously not supermarket prices but very reasonable for a site store."
"The price per night for a tent is worth it, it's a little costlier in the summer but still a great price."
Cons:
"So all in all its a bit overpriced at £24.50 a night (inc Dog) for a small single 2 person tent."
"Finally, having stayed at some beautiful, cheap private sites we felt it was overpriced."
"Nice site but expensive."
Environment and Location
Pros:
"Located walking distance to fishing pond and it's straightforward to bike to Sherwood Forest & Forest pines."
"The site is just gorgeous with its river running through and lush green grass pitches."
"Extraordinary landscape and hiking routes connected to the site."
"The site is perfectly situated to use a car to visit the many attractions Nottinghamshire has to offer eg Rufford park."
"Beautiful well maintained campsite a perfect base camp if you like to do walking or cycling as you have Sherwood Pines Forest Park just down the road."
"Ideally located for Sherwood Pines and Clumber Park."
"Well located for the local Sherwood Forest."
Cons:
"I will never visit this site again, pitch was flooded staff no help at all spent a full day with buckets, hose pipes trying to syphon water away."
"The static caravans however are mostly old touring vans with an overly large awning attach...this unfortunately makes it look like a shanty town."
"Booked for 5 nights... stayed one night and pulled off. If you want to visit a site where you look out onto green filthy caravans and awnings on seasonal pitches, then this is the place for you."
Family and Child-Friendly
Pros:
"Kids had fun in the lake that runs through doing net fishing, Kayak and paddle boarding."
"Great for kids due to play parks and space to ride bikes."
"Perfect for families, two parks for children to explore and a short walk to Sherwood Railway for a ride on the miniature steam train."
"Fantastic for the kids if you want a proper holiday experience where kids can just play."
"This camp site has 2 play areas for children, wooded areas and a stream shallow enough for paddling."
"Lots of families with loads of kids so plenty of new friends for the young ones."
"Had some great activities on for the kids & food stalls."
Cons:
"Some children were left to their own devices by irresponsible parents who seemed happy to let them roam the site in large groups until all hours."
"The riverside area is beautiful but also has a children's play park in it which can make it noisy."
"I was surprised that with no children we were pitched right next to the play area. We were refused a move."
