About the site
Set in the shadow of Fotheringhay Castle's ruins and just a short drive from the market town of Oundle (10 minutes), this back-to-basics site is the perfect spot for an (almost) wild camping break. Right on the banks of the River Nene, it's a great site for paddleboarding, kayaking and wild swimming. Spacious grass pitches set on a large field, welcoming tents, campervans and caravans. Pitches aren't allocated, so guests can choose where to set up camp. The site also has five certificated caravan pitches for Caravan and Motorhome Club members only. An entire field can be booked out for larger groups looking to spread out. Dogs welcome.

Great campsite. The team were lovely, helpful and very accommodating. Site was easy to find and in a lovely area with river for swimming. Amazing views and very peaceful. Only thing is the village didn't have a little shop or anything, but there was one a short drive so not a big problem. Portaloos only, but super clean and were well stocked and the site are very clear that there is no other facilities. Most importantly as a solo female traveller I felt safe throughout my stay and liked the fact there was a member of staff on site. Whilst I didn't need this, it was a comfort. Great site overall very clean, felt safe and comfortable. 100% will be staying again.
We had a lot of fun
