  • Off-grid wild pitches by two lakes in the Nottinghamshire countryside
  • A 15-minute drive to Belvoir Castle, and 10 minutes to Newark-on-Trent
  • A short drive away from shops, pubs and stately houses
Encompassing a 232-acre site in glorious Nottinghamshire countryside, Belvoir Waters is an eco-friendly, wild site with one golden rule: be as environmentally thoughtful as possible. You’re left to your own devices to find your perfect pitch among natural woodland, surrounded by three lakes covering 80 acres of water. Surrounded by three lakes covering 80 acres of water, this is a peaceful place where couples and families can wander around the lakes and stroll the woodland walks, listening out for some of the 180 bird species spotted in the area. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too. You’ll need to be self-sufficient and bring all your own camping gear, but you can park by your pitch, so there’s no lugging of equipment across fields for you. As the site is completely off-grid, it’s best to add in a barbecue as well as bits and bobs for cooking when you’re packing. But don’t worry too much about the packing – anything you’ve forgotten can be picked up in Newark-on-Trent (10 minutes’ drive), which has plenty of supermarkets as well as fish and chip shops or Chinese takeaways. Newark Royal Market (on Wednesdays) has been held in the market square pretty much non-stop since the 12th century, and it’s a special treat to rummage around the stalls for fresh local produce.

What customers say

This is a popular wild camping site, praised for its spacious, secluded pitches and peaceful atmosphere, ideal for nature lovers. Guests appreciate the beautiful lake and surrounding countryside, with many returning. While facilities are basic (portaloos only), the unspoilt nature and opportunity for campfires are highlights. Some find access tracks challenging for cars and note the limited number of toilets.

Lakeside non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Location
Lakeside views
Space - very large pitches, and good distance between pitches

Disliked Lack of toilet facilities- stated toilets on site but not over by lakeside pitches.

travelling back down the road to get to lakeside pitches, wasn't aware of that.

Noisy people across the lake up until 4.30am playing music and shouting, policies need to be enforced if stated on pitchup.com
I am all up for people having a good time but it was ridiculous it going on until that time.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked -Alan the owner was super friendly and really helpful
-The lakeside camp in the woods
-The pitch was really flat and big enough for our tent and car with space to sit around the fire at the waters edge.
-We got so lucky with the weather and the timing as we watched the full moon rise directly over the lake in front of us
-Wonderful secluded spot for nature immersion
-Am unexpected delight

Liked We loved the open view of the lake. The birds, the walks, the Staunton Arms, Roger's welcome!

Disliked We hadn't realised there was no fresh water pipe and would have brought more water with us had we known.

Local attractions

Belvoir Castle (15 minutes’ drive) may well be your first stop. Built in the early 19th century, it has adventure playgrounds and woodland paths for kids and dogs to run around in, as well as guided tours of the 'big house'. When you’ve had your fill of history, you can replenish energy levels at the restaurants, ice-cream parlours and unusual shops at The Engine Yard retail village. Lovers of old houses might also like to glance over Elizabethan-era Wollaton Hall (40 minutes) and its manicured parkland – they do a spooky ghost tour (one way to make the kids behave) and lots of Tudor-themed events during summer. If you’d prefer to get more active on your holiday, there are plenty of cycling and walking trails – for all levels – all around the campsite. There’s also a riding school (five minutes), a couple of golf courses and a public swimming pool (all 20 minutes).
