This was my fifth time volunteering at the camping. It was a bit different though as I ran the campground several days a week while Andy was teaching in London. So, I was more involved in the administrative side of things like check ins and running the credit card machine. I also cleaned the toilets and showers, changed the caravans for new guests. We had two massive gardening projects but there were three wonderful volunteers from South America that really helped. As always, we had lots of fun together. Highly recommend this experience and will be back next summer

I stayed for two weeks in June and had a lovely time. My main tasks were housekeeping and gardening, and the work was well organized and not too demanding. Andy was kind and welcoming, and I enjoyed the shared dinners, it was a great chance to connect, practise English, and try different kinds of food. We each took turns cooking, which made it feel like a the camping community. The accomodation was comfortable, and the area is beautiful, and the town of Retford is close enough to reach by foot. It was a peaceful and social experience. Thanks for everything!

We had a great time at the camping ! Andy is really nice, and the place is beautiful and quiet. The tasks are simple and not too demanding. If you love plums, I recommend you to come in July, there were so many to pick up !! The diners were always a great time to speak with everyone :) Otherwise, I would recommend to have a car if you want to explore around !
