I'm looking for a campsite / caravan park in the Midlands thats got great cycling routes directly from it (no need to drive to them).

We've been to Ashbourne for the Tissington Trail, and I've heard that Clumber park is great for cycling but you stand a huge risk of your bike being stolen. . .

Anywhere about an hour to 90 mins from Burton on Trent.

Any recommendations?

Have you looked at Kingsbury Water Park or Conkers (both C&CC)?

I didn't think of Conkers! Will have a look at the cycling nearby. Thanks.

I've just checked on Clumber Park and it looks like the campsite has closed. :(

Not sure which Clumber Park campsite you are referring to as this one is open
https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-sites/england/east-midlands/nottinghamshire/clu........

Another option might be Teversal C&CC site nr Sutton in Ashfield.

There are several routes using the Teversal trail and surrounding roads

The Teversal route looks good. 20 miles circuit with pubs. I’ll have a look. Thanks.

Think that this site was within the National Trust managed bit of Clumber Park. Didn't know it existed.   Learn something new everyday 😀.

The Caravan Club site is just outside the National Trust area but you can walk / cycle in to the National Trust park. You need to take note of the entrance / access instructions on the website otherwise you might end up paying a entrance fee or be faced with locked gates. Suggested route is via A614 and Lime Tree Avenue.

Can recommend Teversal. Good site, nice pub down the road. Good cycle trails starring across road.

How about Cannock Chase? The C&CC site has access to a choice of off-road cycle trails. There are a couple of other sites in the area as well.
