  • Peaceful touring pitches with rural views for CAMC members only
  • A 10-minute drive from Retford and 35 minutes from Sherwood Forest
  • Bicycle hire on site; under 10 minutes’ walk from a pub and shop
Nipping to the countryside for a weekend away or a break from work and life duties? If you're a Caravan and Motorhome Club member, use Willow Beck Retreat Certificated Location (a CAMC members-only site) as your Nottinghamshire bolthole. The touring pitches are on the edge of the village of North Leverton. First and foremost, this translates to excellent views of the countryside. However, it also has the nice touch of being just a five-minute walk to a village shop and under 10 minutes along a footpath to a traditional local pub. Guests can head out to explore on two wheels easily here, as Willow Beck Retreat Certificated Location has bike hire facilities. If you’re not feeling too energetic when it comes around to it, chilling out on the site is made comfy and convenient by a convenient amenities block with gas-powered hot showers, toilets and a hand-washing basin. The pitches also have their own drinking water and grey waste disposal facilities. On a lazy day, weave in a visit to the North Leverton Windmill visitor centre just a five-minute walk away. Built in 1813, the windmill is still going strong and sells flour and other local products. For a spot of shopping or café- and bar-hopping instead, eye up the historical market town of Retford 10 minutes’ drive away.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (members only)

Liked great location just off main road near to village pubs and shops and the local windmill, clean toilets (2) and shower (1), small number of pitches available, pay for EHU as you go. £1 lasted us 24 hours.

Disliked nobody was there to say hello or take payment but there was a note on the EHU meter for contact and payment information

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (members only)

Liked Nice site for the weekends, a short walk into the village and the pitches are a great size plenty of space for the caravan awning and car.

Disliked The email has a directions option to open up in Google maps and it leads you out 6 miles away from the site might be worth searching the address yourself.

Liked Lovely little site, peaceful, well presented. Good lighting. Good services. Will definitely use again

Disliked As a first time I think it would be helpful if there was a welcome sign on or in the cabin that just says ‘welcome, help yourself to any vacant pitch etc etc’. We worked it out but then saw another couple arrive who were also a little confused about what they should do. X

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (members only)

Liked Excellent little site, the water taps are so close to pitches if not on them almost like being on a super pitch. Lovely little shower and toilet room which was spotless clean and warm.
Nice to have level flat pitches and then to look out on to the field which has a brook running through it and hills. Short walk of 10 mins to the well stocked village shop and a pub. Excellent security and lighting around the site.

Disliked People have said about road noise but we didn’t find it an issue.

Local attractions

Whether you were raised on Robin Hood or simply fancy a good woodland stroll, Sherwood Forest (35 minutes’ drive) makes a splendid addition to any day’s plan. The forest has a short trail to the ‘Magic Oak’, a tree with a 10-metre trunk girth and a collection of up to 150,000 acorns when the conditions are optimal. If you’re up for a long-ish cycle, stop by the forest café before taking your wheels onto the Sustrans Route 6 passing by the outskirts of the forest reserve. Travelling with under-10s? Sundown Adventureland (five minutes) has miniature rides and quick entertainment for those still in their primary school years. Alternatively, grab a ‘discovery backpack’ from the café-shop at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve (Notts Wildlife Trust) (15 minutes) and go birdwatching from the boardwalks. Any keen anglers may want to go to Wetlands Lakes (15 minutes) for a day of carp fishing, as long as they’re armed with the correct licence. Otherwise, the National Trust’s Clumber Park (20 minutes) has 3,800 acres of gorgeous parkland including 20 miles of cycling paths, a second-hand bookshop, and an avenue with 1200+ lime trees.
