  • Woodland site in historic Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire
  • Go Ape Sherwood 10 minutes’ walk; The Major Oak 10 minutes’ drive
  • Direct access to cycling trails and forest walks; bike station on site
Set on the edge of Sherwood Forest, known the world over for its links with the mythical Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Sherwood Pines Campsite is spread across 40 acres of gorgeous ancient woodland. First and foremost, it’s an excellent base for those who have big plans to explore the forest and its numerous hiking and cycling routes; there are paths directly from the pitches that guests can get straight out onto. Second? It’s within walking distance of many of the forest’s main activities, including adventure playgrounds, Go Ape Sherwood, bike hire, shady picnic spots and a schedule of open-air concerts held throughout the year. Plenty of useful amenities are available at Sherwood Pines too, including heated lockers for backpackers, a secure bike station for cyclists, a motorhome service point and a dog wash for four-legged guests. In summer, family activities take place on site. Mobile pizza and fish and chips vans visit most weekends. There is also a fresh coffee machine and a small shop in reception, handy if you need a quick caffeine boost or a snack before a big day out on the trails.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Nice big site, clean toilets and showers , friendly staff and big play area for the kids. Go ape a ten minute walk away and cycle routes galore with more play areas, cafe and food kiosk.

Food vans came on site for a few hours in the evening which is great for when you don't feel like cooking.

Disliked Just could have done with a little shop in the main camping section rather than up at the entrance.

Wifi was hit and miss but did expect that due to the location.

Great campsite, will definitely go back.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Facilities, the environment, cleanliness of the site, access to the forest park and helpful staff e.g. Chez who kindly lent us an extension cable for our electric hook up.

Disliked minor point but there are signs up saying "e-scooters are not permitted" and yet there were a number of children, younger than 5, riding around on mini electric bikes like aspiring deliveroo drivers. Totally unnecessary and dangerous.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked So many pitch options and just a short walk Into the forest. Staff are fabulous and very helpful.

Local attractions

Want to explore the forest on two wheels? You won’t need to fret about securing a bicycle rack to your precious car, as Sherwood Pines Cycles (10 minutes’ walk) is right within striking distance. Go Ape Sherwood (10 minutes) is also within walking distance, making it easy to go from lounging on the pitch to gliding down a zipwire and gazing through the leaf canopies. If you’d rather spend your time batting golf balls with gusto, try the Sherwood Forest Golf Club (10 minutes) instead. For one of the area’s most legendary sights, head to The Major Oak (10 minutes’ drive), an ancient tree rumoured to be connected to the legendary Robin Hood. If you still have plenty of energy to expend on some challenging activities, the Adrenalin Jungle Activity Centre (25 minutes) runs activities such as assault courses and paintballing. Finally, should you feel like pausing the activities to take in some important history, The National Holocaust Centre and Museum (20 minutes) is not too far away either.
