Oh that's such a shame you've had a negative experience .  Hopefully your next one will be much better.

As we have a caravan I can't advise on whether this is "normal" but I'm sure it isn't!  Sounds like the site owner was packing as many in as possible to generate as much revenue as he or she could!

As we've not really stayed in the area you're looking for a site in I can't really advise.  But this site is great and I'm sure someone will be able to give you some good recommendations - good luck

This site is lovely.

Your guys should not be that close.

Upper carr at pickering is beautiful site, plenty of room, sheltered as well

Have a look at the Camping and Caravan Club site at Teversal which is only about 40 minutes from Nottingham. Best shower block you will ever find and being a C&CC site they insist on the 6mtr gap between units, Nice walk up Silverhill wood opposite and a really nice pub doing good food just down the road about 300mtrs, The Carnarvan Arms.

check the reviews on this website and you will see what I mean about the showers. Everybody raves about them.

Please don't be put off by your unfortunate experience - tents so close to each other certainly isn't normal, and as Mrs E says it does sound like the site owner was trying to pack in as many as possible.

I personally haven't been to either Sherwood Forest or Teversal but I have a friend who has and says they are both good sites. Give one - or both - a try, I'm sure you'll have a much more positive experience.

Teversal is nice, not been to Sherwood Forest though.

click on the campsite search above. Then click on central England and look at Derbyshire There must be something there to  choose from. Less than 1 hour from Notts.

Hi charlie 1986,

So glad you enjoyed Teversal (especially after recommending it) it really is a nice site. Hope this has put the negative experience behind you and look forward to a lot of quality camping in future.

The reviews of sites on here are invariably honest and reliable as its other campers posting their experiences. Build up your own virtual brochure to list the sites you would like to go. As Ratty (the website controller) would say, don't forget to leave a review of Teversal and the site you didn't like as it will point others in the right direction of finding good sites.
