Peaceful adults-only site 10 minutes' drive from Retford
Sherwood Forest and Yorkshire Wildlife Park within a half-hour drive
A 10-minute walk from a country pub with meals and real ale

With an olive branch being a sign of peace, it’s rather fitting that Olive Tree Caravan and Camping Park is a mighty peaceful place for a quiet country break... There'll be no noisy nippers at this adults-only Nottinghamshire site, so the grownups have the run of the place (although canine pals are welcome to join as long as they promise to behave themselves). Once settled into your spacious pitch, feel free to plan activities that kids might turn their noses up at: fishing, historic building visits, spa days and miles and miles of fab walks (along the Chesterfield Canal, around Clumber Park or through Sherwood Forest – whatever takes your fancy). However you opt to fill your days, it’s surely always a welcome sight to see a country pub awaiting at the end of it: that role is played here by your temporary local, serving up meals and real ale by the canal 10 minutes’ walk away in the village of Clarborough. Should the weather decree it possible, you’re welcome to fire up a barbecue on site instead; for supplies, browse the selection of essentials at the site shop or take the 10-minute drive to the supermarkets in Retford. A slew of security measures around the site means that guests can sleep easy, and all are assured of a nice warm shower here too, as the smart modern bathroom block has heating and accessible facilities.

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Lovely friendly reassuring welcome which makes all the difference. Very approachable warden. Nice pitch closer to top of site and the warden. Felt safe as solo female traveller. Well spaced site, super clean and well equipped site wanted for nothing. Perfect for me and dog walks from the site and nearby amenities available by foot . Public transport nearby if needed. Van was left at site, always the aim with me. Would definitely return when in area. Very friendly locals I encountered.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful views, park well kept, pitches spacious. Lovely dog walk across the road to let the dogs have a run .Wardens were absolutely lovely and super helpful.

Disliked: Electric was an extra charge on an already pricey site. The showers were immaculately clean but a little on the compact size and it was hard to keep your clothing dry to put back on.

Local attractions

Got your fishing kit stashed in your luggage? Have a chat with the folk on site for details of choice spots along the Chesterfield Canal, or head to Hayton Lakes (less than five minutes’ drive) to try your luck with the carp, barbel and bream in its seven lakes. More interested in getting into the water? Sort yourself with a spa day at Ye Olde Bell 10 minutes’ drive away for thermal baths and treatments. Walkers have a wide choice of places to go for a ramble in this region – as well as waterside wanders by the Chesterfield Canal (a 10-minute walk away), you might like the trails of Clumber Park National Trust estate (20 minutes’ drive) or to view the remains of the 12th-century abbey in Rufford Park (half an hour). Sherwood Forest, once Robin Hood’s 450-acre stomping ground, is half an hour away. Seeking something to stir up a bit more adrenaline? Take to the treetops for a high ropes course and zipline at Go Ape adventure park, or walk among the lions at Yorkshire Wildlife Park; both are around a half-hour drive away.
