Good for families

Lovely site, great location next to Nene Park, good facilities, good playground

Our first C&C site booking, and all was good - nice site, well kept, facilities clean and decent, nice play area, wardens were friendly, easy access with no tricky roads to get to it, and the Nene Park area was lovely. Arrived a little while after 1pm to a friendly greeting from the warden on the gate, with clear instructions what to do. Spoke to next warden who checked our booking, then offered us the East side of the site (across the road) as that's where the play area is and we had our two children with us, which we happily accepted. He provided maps and details and clear instructions on where to go, to pick a suitable pitch and return to the office whenever we're settled to get the gate card & toilet code. We were travelling with my parents who arrived right behind us, so he pointed out on the map a couple of pitches he knew were available where we could be pitched next to each other, conveniently close to the toilet block and washing up facilities. The toilet block was perfectly good, kept nice and clean, showers were reasonably powerful and plenty hot... I found the wall-mounted shower heads a little low for my liking but I'm 6'5" so I'm pretty used to that! Covered washing up facilities were all good. We initially couldn't get the electric hookup to work - enquired at the site office, and realised it was because we'd inserted the plug but not twisted it a quarter turn to the right until it clicks - I wasn't used to that type of connector, and the label telling you to do that was a bit faded and hidden from my view by the top of the post unless I crouched down, but, well, that's user error! We walked around Nene Park and the lakes which was a very pleasant walk, and there are two very decent adventure playgrounds for the kids. The cafe within the park was very expensive. Kids loved the miniature train ride round the park, and that wasn't too dear. We also took a trip on the Nene Valley steam railway from the nearby Overton station, which was good fun too (our train was pulled by one of their heritage diesel engines instead of steam, but still excellent!) Leaving site was easy - use the gate card to open the barrier, and pop it in the box mounted on the post, then off we went. We would happily return!
