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

A peaceful, roomy lakeside spot loved for its views, wildlife & value. Great for fishing, walks & chilling out. Initial buzz about limited loos has been quashed by new, clean facilities. A few noted the narrow access road, but it's still a top pick for a natural, relaxing escape.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked The price

Disliked We turned up and quickly decided we couldn't stay here. There weren't enough signs for us to find it, so we had to ask someone (who did very kindly show us the way). The site is literally just a field next to the lake, no amenities. I know it's cheap and cheerful but we've stayed in other places for the same price and they've had taps and bins! We changed campsite immediately as the place had a bad vibe.

Would go there again for sure

July 2026 Ashley B. 2 reviews

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

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!

From the manager: Hi Ashley,

Hope to see you again soon

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.
