Tucked away beside the River Trent, this small, gated campsite is a haven of peace and quiet, offering a truly relaxing escape. Its standout feature is the idyllic riverside location, providing direct access to scenic walks that are a pleasure in any weather. The spacious, level pitches give everyone plenty of room to spread out without feeling crowded. A secure code-entry system adds to the sense of safety, though you'll need to contact the owners in advance for the code. The site is well-maintained and clean, with a modern toilet and shower block that has seen recent renovations. However, the facilities can feel stretched when the site is full, with occasional reports of inconsistent cleaning and queuing. The friendly and responsive owners are frequently praised for their helpfulness and good communication. The nearby village of Gunthorpe is just a short stroll away, home to several inviting pubs and restaurants. One of these is a popular chain family pub on site, which may not appeal to those seeking a more traditional local atmosphere. A local Indian takeaway delivers tasty meals directly to your pitch, and a small coffee and waffle bar near the entrance is a lovely morning treat. The site is rich with wildlife, including ducks, guinea fowl, and cows in the neighbouring fields, though the guinea fowl can be noisy at dawn. Electric hookups and a covered washing-up area are provided, and there's even an EV charging point in the pub car park. While it's ideal for dog walkers and cyclists, there is little dedicated entertainment for children, and some families have noted other campers are not always child-friendly. Mobile reception can be patchy for some networks, and there is no lighting on the pitches at night. Overall, this is a simple, tranquil campsite that excels in its location and peaceful atmosphere, making it a perfect choice for a rejuvenating break, despite some minor limitations in the facilities.
