  • Small and serene family-run site with scenic fishing lakes
  • A 10-minute drive from Retford and 15 minutes from Worksop
  • Play area, wifi, shop and café; angling and barbecues permitted
Tote your caravan along to the small and secluded family-run site at Torworth Lakes and settle down at a spacious pitch overlooking a selection of lush fishing lakes. Another plus for this park? The location. Close to some of Nottinghamshire’s most-visited attractions, it’s a fab base for touring National Trust sites, historic market towns and kids’ adventure centres. Have a chat with the team about the main spots to visit – the staff here have all sorts of smashing suggestions up their sleeves. You could also ask them about places to eat, but don’t be surprised if they recommend the on-site café, which serves up mouth-watering grub including breakfasts and cakes. There’s also a well-stocked farm shop for grabbing ingredients – think artisan bread, in-season fruit and veg, and locally sourced meat – particularly handy if you’ll be making the most of the fact barbecues are allowed. Fishing is also permitted at this park, so anglers can sit down at purpose-built pegs and have a go at reeling in a variety of carp such as tench, barbel, koi, rudd, roach and orfe. Catch one of the biggest specimens and an award comes in the form of an edible treat. All sorts of caravanning preferences are catered for at this park as a handful of the pitches are enclosed hardstanding options with electric hook-ups, water and waste, while a further few are on grass with electricity and water. Kids have a playground to check out, and wifi is available as well. Please note there's only one toilet and shower on site, so bear this in mind when booking.

What customers say

This is a lovely, peaceful site with spacious, private pitches, often featuring hedges and lake views. Guests praise the friendly staff, the on-site cafe/farm shop with good food, and the children's play park. However, some visitors highlight issues with the limited toilet and shower facilities, particularly the lack of hot water and cleanliness in some instances. The fishing lakes are reported to be in need of maintenance and can be flooded. Road noise and occasional loud events have also been mentioned.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Great setting, really nice and friendly staff too! Our first visit here but definitely not our last. The pitches are level and nice and private with hedges between them with their own tap. Perfect for us, 10 minutes from our caravan storage place, can’t believe we haven’t found this place before! Looking forward to our next visit now, thank you!

Disliked Some noise from the main road but you soon manage to switch off from it.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful and quiet site. With eland water nearby. Security gates in and out. So felt safe. Downside is only 1 toilet and 1 shower that runs mostly cold. But we do have all these amenities on board so not such an issue, however they are kept clean and tidy. Plenty of space to play ball and frisbee with our 4 year old grandson

Disliked Could do with hooks in toilet to hang your clothes. If going to the loo before a shower. Shower needs warmer water!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked This will always be one of our favourite local campsites! We always have the best weekends here. The fishing, the iced coffees, the relaxed family vibes, the space for the kids to explore and play, the friendliness of the staff, the sectioned of pitches. We love it and we will 100% be booking again.

Disliked Nothing. We love it here!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Site itself is lovely. Well kept and shower and toilet relatively clean. However...

Disliked We’ve had lovely visits here in the past, which makes this experience all the more disappointing. I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but after speaking to the team in person, sending three Facebook messages, and two emails, all of which were ignored over the course of three weeks, I felt I had no choice.

The day before our arrival, we received the usual text with site and pitch details, along with a note that the café would be closing early at 12 noon due to a private party. That didn’t seem like an issue, until we realised the party involved extremely loud, outdoor music played directly toward the caravan park from early afternoon until nearly 1am.

There were multiple large speakers and even a live saxophonist playing over the music well into the night. Our pitch was directly opposite, and unfortunately, our three young children couldn’t get to sleep at all. It made for an exhausting and unpleasant following day. I understand that events sometimes come with music, but there was no clear warning about the extent of this party. Had we been told in advance, we could have changed our plans.

The noise far exceeded the site's own quiet hours (which we understood to be around 10pm), and it showed a real lack of consideration for the other guests. One couple who had just arrived even packed up and left early because of the disturbance.

It’s a real shame, because we’ve stayed here multiple times and even recommended it to friends and family. Unfortunately, after being ignored and left without so much as an apology, we won’t be returning.

Local attractions

This site’s in rather a rural part of the country, so visitors have access to pretty parks, historic market towns and attractive architecture set in the middle of leafy countryside. If it’s green space you’re after, get to the National Trust’s Clumber Park (20 minutes’ drive) for cycling and walking on trails amid farmland and woodland, then wander down by the river at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve (five minutes). Got kids eager to eye up animals? Yomp to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park (15 minutes) and mingle with more than 300 different types of species. If you don’t have any nippers to think about, head to historic market towns like Bawtry (five minutes), Retford (10 minutes) and Newark (35 minutes) for grownup adventures. Roving around religious architecture is also within reach at Rufford Abbey (35 minutes) and Southwell Minster (40 minutes).
