A peaceful campsite situated by the River Trent and within easy reach of Nottingham.

About Gunthorpe Camping

Gunthorpe Camping occupies a peaceful spot beside the River Trent, just a short drive from Nottingham's city centre. The riverside setting draws visitors looking for a quieter escape within easy reach of the city, and the site welcomes families and dogs. Facilities cover the essentials – showers, toilets and drinking water – though there's no chemical disposal or WiFi, keeping things deliberately simple.

The location works well for exploring both Nottingham itself and the broader Nottinghamshire countryside, with the Trent providing pleasant walks right from your pitch. Some visitors note that facilities can feel a touch basic compared to larger sites, but if you're after an unfussy, riverside base for touring the region without the crowds, Gunthorpe delivers on that straightforward promise.

This site is meant to be dog friendly campsite. But you re not even allowed to take your nanny dogs like Staffordshire bull terriers, they are classed in their eyes as a dangerous breed. One of the most softest breeds of dog and you re not allowed to take Em, but they will allow German shepherds. And other big working dogs they are not a dog friendly sight. Avoid at all costs.

Loved it!!! Showers and loos are spotless... Great location.. walking distance to the local village pubs. Lovely grass pitch with electric hookup... Very peaceful site with views of the countryside and the cows next door are very friendly.. There are beautiful black ducks and guinea fowl to say hi to.. And free shrubs and trees on offer... we took one for the garden... Great value for money and will definitely be returning....

Great location, plenty of pubs and walks by the river, good bathroom space but water pressure was a bit temperamental, run out of toilet paper few times and cleaning could be more often too. The only thing to mention is that we booked 2 pitches next to each other, 10×10m as per website, however were put in the corner which did seem to be a lot smaller than advertised! Because it wasn't fully booked it didn't feel to tight .. would definitely come back if the bigger space is guaranteed 😉

Had a night at Gunthorpe camping this weekend. Lovely site just across a quiet road from the river Trent. Lovely camping field and nice modern toilet facilities. Lots of space on the pitches which are around the edge of the field. We were lucky to get a pitch right at the back with the cows greeting us :-) Walk out of the site and there is a beautiful restaurant and a (very posh) pub directly outside. Ice cream van in the car park opposite the pub. We walked left, Lovely walk by the river, another ice cream van, another couple of quieter pubs. Loved seeing the boats and reading about the lock. Can't wait to come back, thank you!
