With the forest, the lake, and the river right on site, it has everything you need for a quiet, relaxing holiday. It’s very family-oriented and ticked every single box for us taking the kids. ​A massive highlight was the wildlife — the geese, swans, and ducks were so tame and loved coming right up close to the caravan! ​The wardens were fantastic — really helpful and always visible around the grounds. Plus, having the on-site shop selling caravan and camping spares was super convenient and very reasonably priced. ​The facilities were kept spotlessly clean, although the shower blocks could do with a little modernisation (they have fixed single temperature settings). ​Overall, a top-tier stay in a gorgeous setting. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back! · via Google [Carrie Pugh](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105445573013898911106/reviews) ★★★★★ Brilliant site for family trips We were lucky enough to visit here in a heatwave during the school holidays, there was loads going on including tombola stalls and food vendors at the reception area, an animal themed trail that covered the entire site (and its huge) and a duck race down the river. We visited with the touring community so we had our own entertainment but for anyone visiting alone there was plenty to keep the kids happy including a decent play park right in the heart of the site. The staff were kind enough to put top a giant marquee for our community to use to celebrate its first birthday- which was perfect and the staff were so friendly throughout our visit. I think the only 1 thing that let it down a little for me, and yes it was super busy on site, was that the toilets/shower blocks were not the cleanest. I appreciate between cleans it up to guests to clean out the showers after themselves and use the toilet brushes but every time we went in it was dirty. As if it wasn’t being checked throughout the day. Thankfully we have our own facilities in the caravan which we could use as this really put me off. On another positive note though, one huge plus for this site is that every Sunday and bank holiday you are automatically allowed to stay on site and check out as late as 7pm. This is without paying any extra fee- it’s included. So we got to stay a little longer on our last day- bonus! · via Google [Martin Baker](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106600209753027287576/reviews) ★★★★★ This site is in a lovely quiet location, surrounded by trees and fields, a really lovely location. You are always welcomed with a warm smile as well. The wardens are proactive in keeping noise down after a certain time (mainly the kids) which I am in favour of, that should happen on more sites. I’ve stayed a few times over the years and the one thing that is new, and letting the place down a little is the facilities. Although they were clean for the most part, there was an awful smell, and often there was no toilet paper. This could be a short term issue but it was noticeable and of a lower quality compared to other sites. Plenty to do in the wider area. This 3 star review could be 4 or 5 with some care to upgrade the facilities a little. · via Google [Derby Wanderer](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106883769821958388085/reviews) ★★★★★ Fantastic campsite, great location for Sherwood Pines, Sherwood Forest and surrounding walks/ cycles. Friendly staff and wardens, great pitches and clean facilities, even a great little baby changing/ wash room with a proper baby bath built in. It’s great for kids with the stream and play areas too, will be coming again for sure. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4879bb521a31d177:0xb78644adda10aa35!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this holiday park offers a beautiful, well-maintained setting with a river and forest, providing a peaceful atmosphere and opportunities for wildlife viewing.
