  • A 10-minute walk to the local town of Hatfield
South Yorkshire activity seekers: sorted. Hatfield Outdoor Activity Centre and Campsite on the outskirts of Doncaster has quite the heap of active options on site – and is in an area with plenty more in the surrounds, from golf to hiking to hurtling around indoors at the Doncaster Dome. The active options on site are land and water based, and include courses, group sessions, team building, parties, canoeing and outdoor swimming. Or you could just use the site as a base to potter around Doncaster and South Yorkshire, or as an overnight stopover easy to access because of its nifty links to the national motorway network. This site is family friendly, with facilities including a toilet and shower block, a chemical disposal point, a washing-up area and a deep sink for clothes washing. A play area and vending machines are also on site. It's a 10-minute walk to the old town of Hatfield, where supplies can be picked up at the local newsagent, post office, mini-market and off-licence and bakery; there are also restaurants and pubs for all manner of eats and drinks. Responsible dog owners are welcome at the site.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Decent sized pitches with good amenities. Water was hot and stayed hot for pot washing. Toilet and shower cubicles were nice, clean and warm with a towel radiator and hucks on the back of door to keep clothes etc off the floor. Park for the kids with a field at the back for ball games and a skate park. Local pubs within a short distance. Cafe and bar onsite.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: We arrived on site and had a great experience from start to finish. The staff are super friendly and so helpful. We felt throughout our stay if we had any questions there was always someone to speak to. Great pitches with a calm and happy atmosphere on site. Toilets and showers are always clean even out of hours cleaning products are left to clean after yourself. Will be 100% returning during the summer to try the lake activities. The shop was well stocked. The kids loved the Easter egg hunt and colouring competition. As a family we had the best time.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Plenty of activities to do for the family.

Disliked: Side gate to the dog field was always open, we alerted staff of three young lads who entered wearing balaclavas in the day time! Maybe the gate should have a keypad lock on it to allow only guests staying on site to leave/enter.
