  • Quiet Nottinghamshire site overlooking a network of peaceful lakes
  • A 15-minute drive/20-minute bus ride from Nottingham city centre
  • Fishing on site; a short walk to Holme Pierrepont watersports centre
Wildlife and watersports in one location? If that sounds like a wonderful mix, nip off to Nottinghamshire and a stay at Copper Fox Camping. This welcoming site is a mere 15 minutes’ drive from central Nottingham – not that you’ll notice the city’s proximity when you’ve settled into one of these peaceful pitches. As the name suggests, this site is centred around its lakes, which provide an attractive backdrop to the pitches as well as the two largest being well stocked with carp, perch, chub and roach for anglers. Day tickets and night fishing sessions are bookable on site. Alternatively, of course, you could simply admire the watery views from your pitch, perhaps grabbing a couple of drinks or getting your barbecue going to provide sustenance while you soak up this serene atmosphere. This is a popular spot for wildlife too, with the Skylarks Nature Reserve next door being a good place to wander along the trails to see what you can see. From here it’s also just a few minutes’ walk to the National Water Sports Centre and Holme Pierrepont Country Park, where you can try out whitewater rafting, paddleboarding and kayaking or hit the treetop trails, adventure playground and miniature golf in the Outdoor Adventure Zone. Walks along the banks of the River Trent are also very close by, or you can stroll to the village of Radcliffe on Trent in about half an hour for food and drinks in one of its excellent pubs.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, spacious lakeside site, praised for its beautiful views, wildlife and value. Many visitors enjoyed the location for fishing, walking and relaxing. There was initial feedback regarding limited facilities, with only a portaloo available. However, subsequent reviews from June and July 2026 indicate a new, clean toilet block is now operational and praised. Some reviews mention an access road that can be narrow. Overall, the site is recommended for its natural setting and as a relaxing getaway.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful scenery!.. I was actually at peace watching over the lake at all the birds and planes passing by also was a treat to see a lovely sunset whilst having a brew

*Lovely walks to be taken nearby
*Onsite toilets
*Water tap
*On site patrols are a bonus

If you find it there’s a magical shelter to sit in look over the lake watch al the birds etc

100% will return such a gem!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great scenery over the lake, peaceful and calm, pitched up so we were looking over the lake and sun setting was lively.. the toilet block was clean.. and will use again..

Was a short walk to Holme pier point for the triathlon..

Nice campsite, will be back next year

Disliked Will be good when they get the showers installed.. but for an over night stay was good..

Liked Lovely by a lake for back to basics camping. Was expecting a portaloo so really pleasantly surprised by lovely toilet facilities, would have been even better with some lighting in them.

Local attractions

Copper Fox Camping is a great location for a break that mixes up countryside and city – as well as fishing on site and outdoor activities at Holme Pierrepont Country Park you may like to play a round at Radcliffe-on-Trent Golf Club (10 minutes’ drive) or take a vineyard tour at Wolds Wine Estate (20 minutes). There are several grand buildings dotted around too, including Wollaton Hall, Gardens and Deer Park (25 minutes) and Belvoir Castle (half an hour), plus family attractions like Floralands Farm Park (half an hour). Sports fans may also like to see if they can catch some actions at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground or the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground (both 10 minutes). For some city time, board one of the regular bus services to Nottingham to see the castle, the National Justice Museum and Nottingham Industrial Museum. Also don’t miss the chance to go beneath the city’s streets at City of Caves, a surprisingly large network that’s been in use since Anglo-Saxon times.
