Date of Visit: January 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Philnliz 10 reviews from this member

 We have used this site on a few occasions the staff are helpful, the facilities are clean, pitches are separated with bushes but are ample in size,

Two kids playgrounds one for under sevens and one for over sevens but if your not parked near to the playground of your choice then you have a five min walk on your hands so you wouldn't be able to keep an eye on the kids,

A 5 min drive takes you either to the great oak of sherwood or sherwood pines, a country park where you can hire bikes and ride the many trails through the forest.

Within a 20 min drive there is thoresby market every sunday which can take a couple of hours to walk round especially if you stop for a burger or two,

Also just down the road from there is clumber park also good for walking / cycling. All in all there is plenty to keep you going for a long weekend

 We have been before and decided to go last min` for a weekend break.It was great as usual and the site is lovely.Everything is kept well and everyone who runs the site are very helpful.

The kids have loads to do and loads to explore.It has the river maun running right through which is lovely. But the down side is if there is plenty of rain the entrance to the site gets cut off as the water comes over the bridge which is the entrance. Other than that this is a very pleasant site with everything you need. Including tv point for every caravan (be warned take a long tv cable as they are not next to the caravan)

Will be back in the summer. 


Date of Visit: October 2010 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Nickrw 7 reviews from this member

 Stayed here just for one night while in our hired motorhome visiting Twinlakes and Wheelgate Parks in the area. On arrival I was walked directly to our pitch and the chap was most helpful explaining everything to me, they even had an aerial hookup by the electric.

Facilities were immaculate, heated and very clean. Showers were not massive but certainly large enough to get a couple of your kids in there if required, and free, but have those push buttons that cut out after just 18 seconds so you have to keep pressing it! My wife thought the toilets/showers were excellent and it takes a lot to impress her! :) There are several toilet/washing/shower blocks around the site, I saw at least 3 on just a short stroll.

The site is large but everyone was very well behaved and it was so quiet even though it still looked busy. Most of the caravans appeared to be there permanently. The kids play area was small bu adequate, big wooden log type. Didn't get to check out the shop as we weren't there long enough. I thought the price of £19.50 a little high for the time of year, but you could see why as the site looked very well organised, clean and looked after. Would definitely visit again if in the area. Took a bit of finding as there are so many Sherwood Forest Parks/Campsites in the area, trusty sat nav was right though I should have just ignored the signs!

 Brilliant site. Well laid out, very pretty with the river running through it, two big ponds / small lakes and lots of trees etc. Pitches separated by small laurel hedges to give more privacy. Staff extremely pleasant, friendly and helpful.

This site is also ideal for campers with dogs. A good dog walk runs right round the perimeter, accessed at numerous points round the site. At the far end of the site, a gate gives access to a decent network of tracks and footpaths, largely through woodland, where well behaved dog(s) can have a good run. Brilliant!

Facilities were spotless, and plentiful. Small shop stocked with an eclectic range of camping equipment, essentials like milk, bread and bacon, but little other food.

We will definitely return to this site again. Loved it!

Reviewer: Lostbud 1 review from this member

 We visited this site for the weekend and was very very pleased. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We went with another family with kids from 5 to 9 year old and they loved it. The 2 play areas kept the kids occupied for hours.If not in the park they were on their bikes. There are lovely walks along the lakes and also in the woods.The toilets and washing up area was immaculate and hot water available all day. Brilliant what more could you ask for, 5 star all around.Fishing lakes very short walk away the staff even opened the tins of sweet corn at the till as we forgot ours,a little thing but was a great help and saved us the walk back to camp. Thank you so much and we will see you very very soon. All 8 0f us.

Reviewer: Camper29 1 review from this member

 Stayed here three times, really nice site, quiet even with our two kids! staff were really helpful. The playground for the younger kids is fine, the one for older kids seems a little run down but I guess that's because older kids use it?

Toilet/shower blocks are to a high standard, there are no pubs / restaurants on site but I think this is the way they like it.

Sat nav finds it difficult to find, including my relatives none of about 4 different sat navs found it easy to find!

Book well in advance as the pitches go quite quickly. All in all a very nice quiet break for a weekend or long weekend away!

It could possibly do with a larger shop and a chips shop (or something similar) on site but this inst really a problem. 


Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: MrsX 10 reviews from this member

 Visited this site at the last minute after having to cancel another site due to bad weather.

We chose to stay on the camping field, which is set slightly apart from the main site - A five minute walk to shower blocks, belsen points, shops and dish washing.

The only facilities available on the field are two taps, two portaloos and bins. I was shocked to see one family swilling out there wee bucket at the water tap. I suspect quite a lot of this goes on as people cant be bothered to walk to the disposal point on the main site.

We paid £15 per night per tent, which I think is pretty steep for one adult and one child in a field with very basic facilities.

The pitches are marked out and are very small. The pitches on either side of us were unoccupied, I think it would have been a very tight squeeze if they hadn't been.

All the staff were very friendly. The rangers came to my pitch about 10 minutes after I'd booked in, to make sure I was ok and had found my pitch and if I needed any help.

The main site is lovely, beautifully landscaped with a river running through (which my son fell into, something to consider if you have younger children who are used to having a little extra freedom on site). Plenty of ducks, geese etc to feed and entertain us - and make sure the kids take their fishing nets!

I've scored this site for the camping field, which is pretty poor really. If I went again I'd pay the extra for a pitch on the main site I think.

 This was our first time out in our new caravan and we had a lovely long weekend on this site. The toilets blocks are very clean and washing up facilities are excellent. We were sited on a very large pitch next to the children's park which was ideal for the grandchildren to play but may be a bit noisy just for adults. However, the site has many other pitches in different areas which would be much quieter. The shop has all the essentials you may need and reasonably priced accessories. All the staff were friendly and helpful making it a very pleasant few days.

 FANTASTIC. A pleasant drive through to the park itself. A friendly welcome. Toilet /washing up area and Shower rooms were clean. Our children made friends very easily as we were very near the park area and we could watch them from where we were sitting. The shop was reasonably priced. We did not bring a electric hook up cable long enough but, the reception staff offered us an extension cable without charge, due to the person next to us camping directly in front of the electric point. Which I thought was lovely. There is a lovely walk if you have a dog. Very close to Sherwood Pines which we spent most of the day walking with the dog. There are plenty of places in the surrounding area if you want to eat off the site. Will go to this Holiday Park again.

 Super site. Reception/shop well stocked with basics and some reasonable camping equipment. All staff very friendly. They will give you a site map, but also ask for one on the local places (all very close). We only managed Sherwood Pines (Cost is only £3 for the days parking), but it was great and will be back. They also offered us half price tickets for the local farm park.

All facilities very clean and no queues experienced. Glad we took the bikes for the kids as the site is quite large in its layout along the river.

There was a nearby generator running on our first night, but having mentioned this to the staff they contacted their neighbour and it stopped at 10pm the next night thankfully as it was a disturbance once it went quite.

We'll definitely be back (and we don't often say that).
