Non-electric grass pitch (no pets)

Liked: We stayed here as a stop over and wished we had stayed longer it’s a little gem. We were there during school holidays and there were lots of activities on all day you could do a half or full day for £10 or £20 and it was well worth it. I’ll be making a trip down again soon.

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass pitch (no pets)

Liked: Friendly advice upon arrival regarding pitch allocation etc. Very clean site with lots of organised children's activities. There was an extra cost for these, but it is quite reasonable.

Disliked: We attended our granddaughters dance show in Mansfield on the Saturday night (20 mins away) I asked the duty manager was there any problem on us returning about 10.30 pm - I was advised the barrier locks out at 10pm until 7am. We could stay in the car park in our campervan (but not ideal). Therefore we had to constantly clockwatch during the show, and leave earlier than we would have liked. So if you have a meal or outing booked off the site, be aware of the curfew.

Non-electric grass pitch (pet friendly)

Liked: Lots of activities for kids Staff were friendly Pitches had plenty of room and kids loved running around the field Also the barrels to have a campfire were brilliant.

Disliked: Toilets and showers wasn’t very clean and was very far from our pitch Wasn’t aware there was a festival opposite which kept us awake until at least 11pm every night More activities for younger children would be brilliant Not really an issue with the site but dogs were constantly running free and kept coming up to our pitch were we have a nervous leaded dog

Local attractions

With its tales of Robin Hood, ancient oaks, country houses and lush leafy landscape, Sherwood Forest has something to keep most sorts content. Clumber Park (15 minutes' drive) has long avenues of limes and open heath to stroll through, while over by the Major Oak (10 minutes) you can get acquainted with one of the area's stand-out trees before setting out on several waymarked hiking routes (maps available at the visitor centre next door). Similarly close to base is Go Ape Sherwood (10 minutes), where a medley of segways and zipwires nicely complement any on-site activities you've got up to during your stay. Kids not quite old enough for that kind of activity? Fear not, as families with younger members will find plenty of age-appropriate entertainment at Wheelgate Waterpark (15 minutes) or Sundown Adventureland (20 minutes). Spending time in town is also doable here, as Walesby Forest is just over half an hour from Lincoln's castle, cathedral and urban arboretum. Meanwhile, over in Newark (30 minutes), there's Civil War heritage, antiques shops and weekly markets in a handsome Georgian square, plus hovercraft tours if you fancy something a little different.
