Quiet family-run touring park in open country eight miles south-east of Nottingham

About Thornton's Holt Camping Park

Thornton's Holt Camping Park occupies a working farm in the tiny hamlet of Stragglethorpe, eight miles south-east of Nottingham off the A52 towards Grantham. The family-run site has earned a loyal following over several decades for its peaceful atmosphere and genuinely welcoming owners, though facilities can feel a little dated compared to newer parks. Pitches spread across gently sloping grass fields with hedged boundaries, offering tents, caravans and motorhomes decent separation without rigid rows, and electric hook-ups are available throughout most of the touring area.

The farmland setting means children can watch livestock grazing in neighbouring fields and dogs have room to stretch their legs on leads around the site's edges. On-site amenities are straightforward but spotless: clean shower and toilet blocks, a small shop stocking essentials and fresh milk, plus laundry facilities for longer stays.

The location strikes a good balance between city access and countryside calm. Nottingham's Lace Market, castle and independent shops lie a short drive or taxi away, while the quieter Vale of Belvoir unfolds to the south, Belvoir Castle itself within easy reach for a day out. Book ahead for summer weekends and October's Goose Fair, when the site fills with visitors using it as a convenient city base.
