A note from the site themselves...

Set in the heart of the Nottinghamshire countryside Boat Lane is off the beaten track and close to the beautiful River Trent. We are slowly growing the site into something rather special. We are extremely welcoming to our off grid friends and have two stunning fields where they can camp.

We welcome rally groups and our aim is to grow this side of our site. We are a very open site with some amazing trees where you can find a little shade from the summer sun. We always have someone on site so that you can feel safe and secure while camping, especially important for those who are camping alone.

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Good location, nice site, well kept. Clean and good facilities, although the toilet and shower block could do with updating, looking tired.

What more could you want!
