Gunthorpe Camping

View prices & book Last booked 7 hours ago 9.1 104 reviews

View from the pitches, looking towards fields at the rear

Public footpath or cycle route along the river going under the bridge

Spacious and grassy site on the banks of the River Trent
Watersports centre and several theme parks a short drive away
Riverside walks and bike rides, boat trips and restaurants nearby

Shoot along for a stay here… you'll have enough to do in scenic surrounds to keep you occupied for aeons. Gunthorpe Camping is a small family-friendly site set on a level grassy paddock next to the River Trent, making it most handy for riverside walks and bike rides direct from the grounds, and canoeing, kayaking, fishing and boat trips all nearby. There's also the National Watersports Centre and Sundown Adventureland within 40 minutes' drive… and when you're tuckered out and back at base, several good bars and restaurants are within a short stroll. The grassy paddock is open and surrounded by hedges and mature trees, so you'll have plenty of space to spread out as well as hunker down when the mood takes you. You should have a peaceful and comfy stay here too: the grounds are well-maintained and the showers in the bright clean washrooms have plenty of hot water. Barbecues are allowed, so it's all systems go if you want to grill up an alfresco feast by the riverbank.

Liked: Loved this campsite, showers and toilet blocks where perfect, clean.
Pot sink was spacious and clean.
Our pitch was at the top of the field facing all the cows and the sun rise in the was unreal! We also ran out of battery and lesley helped us with a jump-start from one of her workers. Honestly can't wait to come back.
The little coffee shop on the corner as you enter was gorgeous. We brought our dog for his first camping trip and there is a great walk along the river where you can give them a good run. Also the unicorn pub is dog friendly so we ate in there food was great.

Liked: We received clear instructions for gaining access to the site and finding our pich on the morning of our stay.

After we had set up we were welcomed by Lesley who made sure we were happy with everything. We were and were spoilt with only having to share the site with one other van and the resident guineafowl. We had lovely views over open fields and when the sire was full the following day, the peacefulness wasn't spoiled.

Disliked: The showers would benefit from some hooks to hang a towel and clothes.

Local attractions

Despite the industrial past and present, Nottinghamshire has many fab natural landscapes: the wetlands at Skylarks Nature Reserve, a 20-minute drive from the site are as rich with feathered life as any you'll see on TV nature channels. For more adventurous hours, there's go-karting 15 minutes' drive away in Netherfield, and a massive array of high octane stuff (not all of it watery) at the National Watersports Centre (20 minutes' drive) including Segway rides, high ropes, wakeboarding and rafting. Then there's Sherwood Forest and Sherwood Forest Pines Park 40 minutes away… a leafy combination of legend, history, nature reserve, country park and adventure centre, with hiking and biking trails through 450 acres of ancient oaks and wildlife. Adventureseekers can see it from the treetops on ropes and wires at Go Ape, and the kids can clamber about at the award-winning natural play area Robin Hood’s Hideout. For family antics out of the forest, Sundown Adventureland (40 minutes) has rides and themed playgrounds for the under-10s; Twinlakes Park offers birds of prey shows and creepy critters along with its waterpark and rollercoaster rides, and for the real big-ride fanatics, it's an hour and a half to Alton Towers. It's half an hour to Nottingham for tours of the castle and the caves, stopping for snifters in Ye Trip To Jerusalem and ice skating at Motorpoint Arena. You could also hire bikes for a trip through Colwick Country Park (20 minutes' drive), a pleasant combo of woodlands, lakes, meadows and playgrounds where you can swim, fish, walk, sail and spot wildlife.
