 Excellent site! Very well run, clean toilets and showers. We stayed in the Cedar area as we had a 2 year old and wanted to be near the park.

Excellent park, enclosed with only 2 entrances so great to be able to keep an eye on the little ones. We had a very good pitch, very spacious.

We visited Sundown Adventureland which is great and Sherwood Pines and Major Oak.

One thing about the showers, we found the water to be very hot and couldn't shower our 2 year old, had to strip wash instead.

All in all we would definitely recommend this site and will definitely be visiting again.

 Returned from a 2 night stay [fri/sat] and very pleased with the overall experience.

Pitched on Beech, good position for all main facilities but grass a little bare in places and ground quite sandy, so not much grip for pegging out.

Warden showed us to pitch and explained basic layout of surroundings etc [very friendly even to our dog who when she is still in car is not always approachable].

Showers/toilets always clean and plenty of hot water, even in pot washing area.

All in all a pleasant stay and already booked for first w/e in June.

Reviewer: How-camp-are-we 4 reviews from this member

 A lovely site with lots of different camping areas for tents, caravans, residents etc. We were opposite the play area and backing on to the stream which was ideal for our children.

The staff were very helpful and completely 'on top' of everything, showing us to our pitch and even offering to help! The pot wash area was very adequate, the toilets and shower area were lovely and warm and spotlessly clean.

The showers are push button and although there was plenty of hot water and good water pressure it didn't last very long between pushes but that's probably me just being picky.

We only visited the shop on arrival to ask where to pitch but it looked very well stocked with food, drinks, sweets, toys and camping equipment.

We visited Sherwood Forest & Sherwood Pines where we hired out bikes for a couple of hours then went for a meal at The Dog & Duck just a few minutes drive away which is well worth a visit.

The pub is very quirky and has excellent service and food! Overall we would def recommend this site to anyone and thought the prices were very reasonable. I've always said I'd like to try different sites every time but I think we will visit this one again!

 Visited here during Bank Holiday week. This is a very good value for money site.

Cost was reasonable, the pitch was fully hard standing with TV hook up - would be nice if some of these pitches had water and waste water.

Our pitch was right opposite children's park which was ideal for our two girls but had the opposite effect in the mornings when children were playing from 7:30 in the morning on the park and not quietly.

Very safe for the girls on their bikes although you do have to be careful as some children do not slow down for anybody. Site and facilities are clean, shop is reasonably priced.

The site is ideally located for all of the different elements of Sherwood Forest including Clumber Park which is fantastic to walk or bike around or sit and have a leisurely coffee.

We would return again but aim for a pitch not right opposite children's park. The pitches are a good size as well

 This was our first ever camping trip and I think we have been spoilt. Very well managed site with extremely helpful staff. Wardens were visible, friendly and did an excellent job of keeping the site clean and tidy. Toilets and showers were immaculate and even the portaloo’s on the tent field were kept clean and well stocked with toilet roll. Plenty of pot sinks around the site and a laundry room. Reception staff were welcoming and also manned the shop which sells basic provisions and camping items at very reasonable prices. Clumber Park’s main visitor centre is about a 20 minute drive away and there are lots of cycle tracks near the campsite so we will be taking our bikes next time.

 Great site, toilets and showers were always spotless despite the face that it was Easter weekend and the site was jam packed. Very helpful staff, showed us to pitch and very visible around site if there were any problems to report. Two playgrounds, of the wooden climbing type both are great, lovely woodland walk. Dog walk, very near fishing lakes. Well stocked shop.

It was very busy and the pitches were very close together, some noisy campers and lots and lots of children! However, it was a busy bank holiday and is probably much quieter at other times, they also were very good at shutting down noisy campers when necessary. All in all we had a great weekend, lovely weather and lots to do in the area, by car. We visited Sherwood forest and Clumber park and a car boot next door. Kids made loads of friends. There is a lot of open water so would need to keep an eye on younger children. We felt ours, 8 and 5 were safe to play in the woods but not too close to the water.

 Just got home after a fantastic 6 days at this site. The toilet block facilities and showers are second to none. They are cleaned at least twice a day. They are nice and warm,well lit and always plenty of hot water.

The booking in process was very efficient and we were shown to our pitch and offered help if required to get things sorted. There are 2 play areas for children - not that we had need of them and plenty of dog walking trails nearby.

The area where we were sited comprised of several semi permanent units and was overlooking a small lake. The approach to the site is impressive with well cut areas.

The staff were super to deal with and the people in the semi permanent units made us feel really welcome. We will be visiting again soon. Many thanks to all especially the receptionist from Guildford !

Asda is only a few miles away and there are some nice speciality shops in nearby Edwinstowe - try the local butcher !

Reviewer: Kn1te 7 reviews from this member

 Spent 5 days here. Very impressed. The site is split into different sections. There is a small stream running through the site at one side that fills two wildlife ponds. Some pitches back on to them. We were originally supposed to be on one of these, but we asked to move due to having a toddler. The staff were more than helpful when we asked to move and personally showed us to the new pitch and explained exactly where everything was. The hard standing pitches are gravel, some are quite deep so bring long pegs. The toilet and shower blocks are a little dated but they are immaculately clean. The showers are the push button type, and need to be pressed every few seconds is seemed, but that’s just me nit picking.

The site shop is incredibly well stocked with camping equipment. You could quite easily come with nothing and just buy everything at the shop, and it’s not expensive either.

There are a lot of seasonal pitches on the site, but the residents are more than friendly. The site has two play grounds, one for the older kids and one for the younger kids, which is a nice touch. The grass is regularly cut and the drainage is excellent on the grass pitches.

The fishing is brilliant. Sherwood forest fisheries is in the next field and can be access through a gate at the bottom of the site. The fishery web site is http://www.Sherwoodfishery.Co.Uk/

On a Sunday, next to the site there is a carboot sale and motocross going on, (you can’t here either from the site so don’t worry).The Sunday market at Thoresby, is really busy but a good for a trip out. Sherwood forest visitors centre and the Major Oak is very close, and considering its free (pay for parking) is brilliant.

There are a few shops in nearby market warsop, if you need anything.

All in all very impress with the site, and will be returning.

 Just spent 4 days at this site. It was our first trip away in our motorhome (we are very new to it all!) The woodlands, wildlife, lake, river and site facilities made it a lovely spot. Though it was half term it was really peaceful. Everyone was pleasant and friendly.

The site shop was well equipped especially with caravan accessories. The toilets and showers were great with lovely hot water and a short distant from most places on the site.

We were on 'Willow 'which were hardstanding pitches with elec hook up - brilliant size with lovely views across the lake / river. There are two play areas for the children, though if the weather is bad there is not much for them to do. The roads around the site are ideal for cycling / scooters.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The site is in a good location (please note: If you have a motorhome and do not want to move it, there are no buses close by to get you to the attractions.

The roads around the area have no footpaths so it made walking impossible for us - we have a 6 year old - We used taxi's which were good and prompt, but of course bumps up the price of your holiday).

We had a lovely homemade meal which was reasonably priced at The Forest Lodge Hotel in Edwinstowe village close to Sherwood Forest. We also spent a lovely day at Sherwood Pines Forest Park. Great for everyone, especially children as there are some adventure playgrounds. It was a great bonus that the attractions we went to were free!

 This was our 5th stay on this site and this time we bought another couple with us. This is one of the most peaceful sites we have ever stayed on

Our friends are now booking again as they enjoyed it so much the site shop as everything that you could possibly need or want and the shower blocks are always clean the staff are always helpful

There is even a Chinese that delivers to your pitch what more could you want
