  • Peaceful grass pitches at a Nottinghamshire family-run vineyard
  • Twinlakes Park 20 minutes' drive; Belvoir Castle 25 minutes
  • Guided or self-guided tours and tastings available
Sitting out on your pitch and enjoying a glass of wine in the peaceful fresh air as the sun sets is surely one of the finest parts of any camping stay. So how cool would it be if you could take that experience one step further by adding the backdrop of a vineyard to it? That’s exactly what you can do at Hanwell Wine Estate, a family-run vineyard in the Nottinghamshire countryside where they’ve been making wine since 1975 (and winning a few awards along the way). Book in here and you’ll be staying in a peaceful grass paddock with a handful of pitches looking out over the surrounding rural scenery – and the vines, of course. Kids and dogs are welcome here, and there are simple facilities in the form of 24-hour toilets and picnic tables for your evening drinks and meals. Looking at the vines from afar is lovely – but getting closer in is even better. To do that, you can book onto a guided tour and tasting session, or go at your own pace with the ‘sip and stroll’ self-guided trail and tasting flight whenever the café-bar is open. Speaking of the café-bar, it’s usually open from 12-3.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays, serving up local cheeses, Mediterranean platters and cakes as well as wines made on site. At other times, pick up snack supplies in Melton Mowbray (15 minutes’ drive), head to the pub five minutes’ drive away or walk 10 minutes to the service station where there's a supermarket and a couple of food venues.

What customers say

This campsite offers peaceful surroundings with vineyard views and pleasant sunsets. Reviewers appreciated the friendly staff and on-site bar serving local wine. Toilets were found to be adequate and clean. Some guests noted road noise and proximity to flight paths from East Midlands Airport and a helipad, which others enjoyed as entertainment. Guests would benefit from clearer information regarding water, bins, and toilet locations.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Really loved the peaceful nature of the campsite with only a few other people booked at the same time. The bar on site was lovely and staff were all really friendly. Pitches were relatively flat considering its quite hilly, helped by pitch size being unlimited and having the pick of a large field. Just a note, there is a lot of road noise day & night and on flight path for east Midlands airport and a nearby helipad - this suited us and gave great evening entertainment but might be worth considering for others. (Not much can be done about this though)! Perfect site for a one night stop over!

Disliked Long walk to toilets and these were limited use during the day due to wine estate visitors also using. Feel like a little more information about where water/bins/toilets, as this was not obvious until we used the bar and walked around exploring! Just a little info page or something would be great.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked I expected a field and that's what I got. Staff were friendly, the little bar area was nice and I sampled some of their wine. Toilets were adequate and clean.
Its on the flight path for the heli base and East Midlands but I didn't mind that I enjoyed watching them. It' just off the A46 and easy to get to but you can hear the cars rumbling. Nothing to dislike, we had a lovely evening watching the sun go down over the vineyard.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Peaceful surroundings. Just the sound of some horses in a meadow by the field. Vineyard in the distance. Toilets and a tap. No shower but we knew that when we booked. Fabulous sunset.

Local attractions

Days out might also take you to explore the grounds of Belvoir Castle (25 minutes), pick up renowned local cheese in Cropwell Bishop (10 minutes) or get crafty at Framework Knitters Museum (15 minutes). To keep kids amused, try the likes of Manor Farm Park & Woodlands (15 minutes), the rides of Twinlakes Park (20 minutes) or Stapleford Miniature Railway (25 minutes).
