  • Water- and land-based event centre in 270 acres of parkland
  • Easy access to Nottingham city centre, rail network and airport
  • Country walks, nature trails and lots to do for kids on site
What do you reckon is the main flavour of activities at this Nottinghamshire site? Yup, top of the menu at the Holme Pierrepont Country Park, near Nottingham, are all sorts of watersports: you'll be able to tackle a whitewater course for canoeing, kayaking, rafting and tubing; paddleboarding; and open-top canoeing. This is a land-based activity centre too, so if you don't fancy plunging into the foamy depths or would quite like to stay dry for a day, other options can be tackled at the outdoor adventure zone where there's an aerial adventure course, miniature golf, a kids' activity club and archery combat. A large play park, country walks and nature zones are also on site (please note some activities are subject to availability and must be booked at reception; early booking is advisable). Feeling a bit faint just from reading all this, and think you'd rather spectate? The centre has kindly included a country park café and a regatta lake where it hosts its own events like rowing and canoe regattas, dragonboat racing and triathlons. Lots are on offer too to keep the kids amused, including a woodland adventure playground and a nature trail, a short stroll away. Although all this energetic excellence is only 10 minutes' drive from Nottingham city centre, it's well into the countryside and away from anything townie, as it's deep in the 270 acres of parkland of Holme Pierrepont Country Park. The campsite part of the park covers 18 acres and has a facilities block with showers and toilets, and a site shop selling selected groceries and camping supplies.

What customers say

This campsite boasts a fantastic location, close to amenities and activities, with spacious pitches and generally friendly staff. However, reviews frequently highlight issues with the cleanliness and maintenance of toilet and shower facilities, which are often described as dated and in need of refurbishment. While some guests found the facilities adequate, many reported them as dirty, with blocked drains, insufficient hot water, and a lack of basic supplies. Noise from other campers and a perceived lack of staff supervision were also mentioned as drawbacks by some visitors.

Liked Quiet site with good sized pitches. The lady in reception was lovely.

Disliked The walk to the activity centre is across a very busy, fast road and on pitchup it appears advertised as all on one site.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Convenient for Nottingham. Lots of trees. Toilets, showers and washing up sinks are well positioned and there's plenty of space to open and close doors, not block other campers etc.

Disliked Very noisy! Big circle of folding chairs next to our pitch containing 10-11 kids and 2-3 adults. The kids spent all afternoon and evening running and scootering around, screaming and shouting while the adults did nothing. I expect children playing on campsites, but that was oppressively loud. A large group like this should have their own field, not be mixed in with solos and couples. (Plenty of vacant space elsewhere on site.) After they went quiet, music and drunk yelling started up from the area called Private Paddocks. Thankfully quiet by midnight. No staff on site besides a cleaner the following morning.

Height barrier was down on arrival and we weren't sure about our air vent so we phoned the number provided. Rang for ages then got answer machine. Luckily someone was driving out, so we could enter while barrier still up.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Good site location

Disliked facilities are worn and dated, toilets are not very clean and showers you have to press a button constantly, I understand that system but this one was so quick to turn off. We had two nights of bad sleep due to the bell tent site playing the loudest bass music and screaming on top of their voices all day and all night past half ten which were the rules which made our stay quiet unpleasant. I tried to contact someone to complain but it just went to voicemail.

Local attractions

If you've any energy left over or you're hardily thinking that the watery and land-based activities of the Holme Pierrepont Country Park just aren't enough, get along to the cycle paths of Colwick Country Park on the outskirts of Nottingham, which have miles of waterside biking alongside the River Trent. Wildlife watchers can wander around Skylarks Nature Reserve, owned by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, highly recommended by the Holme Pierrepont Country Park team and 15 minutes' drive from the site. The cricket ground of Trent Bridge, home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, is 10 minutes' drive away.
