Description
Pitches: 10
Opening Dates this season: 14/03/2025 to 30/09/2025
A venue with a glistening stream babbling through the grounds, a children`s play area, stepping stones, luxury accommodation, glamping, camping, 500 million year sandstone cave bar and rope swings over the stream offering a laidback and intimate space.
Set in 5 acres of woodland countryside for you and your family and friends to get creative with.
Imagine waking up to the stunning views of the Old Vicarage and the river Poulter whilst cooking your campfire breakfast and listening to the chattering of wild birds. Fire pits and BBQ`s to hire and wood to buy for those wanting to toast marshmallows and keep toastie by the fire.
You`ll sense the history all around you at The Old Vicarage, from the old house to the remains of the water mill in the river bed. Stays here are in the grounds of a 17th-century house in the village of Elkesley, six miles from Worksop and 25 miles from Nottingham.
It`s grounds run down to the banks of the Poulter river, and are lined with stands of acacia, sycamore, ash and oak trees which were originally donated to the first vicar by the Duke of Newcastle in the 1830s.
Bring your own tent, caravan, motorhome or campervan.
All pitches are grassed, with both electric and non electric available in a broad range of sizes.
Our facilities are a washing up cabin, male and female toilets and showers and a disabled toilet for guests at the venue.
There`s plenty of space around the site for traditional outdoor activities, with a rope swing and stepping stones over the shallow river and a bridge that`s perfect for playing Pooh Sticks.
Every bank holiday, the site opens up their Cave Bar, a cool little space built into an exposure of 500-million-year-old sandstone, with a chillout room, TV room and games, plus an outdoor terrace for sipping drinks out in the sunshine.
* Washing-up area and bathrooms with plentiful hot showers, toilets and baby changing facilities.
* The River Poulter runs through the site, a stunning view from your pitch
* Excellent facilities including a stylish cave bar on the grounds
* Plenty of onsite activities including a rope swing across the river, a zipwire for young children and if you bring an inner tube with you, there will be river rides for kids
* The site can also supply fire wood, fire pits and BBQs.
* Free WiFi is provided
In the surrounding area there are animal parks and nature reserves to walk around, or to head back further in time, you could take one of the trails through ancient Sherwood Forest, around quarter of an hour`s drive away.
Other amenities include a washing-up area and bathrooms with plentiful hot showers, toilets and baby changing facilities.
Nearby Attractions
The surrounding countryside has great places for walks and wildlife-spotting, with trails around the lakes and wetlands of Idle Valley Nature Reserve (15 minutes` drive) and lakes for fishing too.
Then there`s Sherwood Forest, 25 minutes away: some 450 acres of wildlife among ancient oak trees, alongside a wealth of biking and walking trails to take you through them. Adventure seekers can see it all from the treetops on ropes and wires at Go Ape, and the kids can clamber about at Robin Hood`s Hideout, an acclaimed natural play area.
For family antics out of the forest, Sundown Adventure Park (20 minutes) has rides and themed playgrounds for the under-10s and families can also make tracks for Ferry Farm Country Park (45 minutes), to feed lambs, meet pigs and zoom about on go-karts and the adventure playground.
An hour away and a major hub since Robin Hood`s days, Nottingham still draws the crowds. Tour the castle and the caves, stop for a snifter in Ye Trip To Jerusalem (oldest pub in England, perhaps...), skate on ice at Motorpoint Arena and see what law and order meant in the Sheriff`s days at the National Justice Museum.
For further historical wanderings, Creswell Crags presents an array of prehistoric caves in a cracking limestone gorge and Newark`s castle, Air Museum and National Civil War Centre sum up the centuries very entertainingly, all around half an hour away.
