  • Lovely six-acre Derbyshire site in the village of Stenson
  • A 20-minute drive from Derby and close to canal and river activities
  • Pizza oven and barbecue area on site; local pub five minutes' walk
How far do you have to go from a city centre to find a place for a relaxing rural stay? In the case of Derbyshire’s Four Oaks Campsite, the answer is not far at all – this six-acre site in the village of Stenson is a mere five miles from Derby. That location makes this a pretty convenient site to travel to (especially if you’re a local looking for a quick breath of fresh air), and once you’re here you’ll be able to leave all thoughts of urban life behind. The surroundings here are all about countryside, canals, rivers and village pubs. The closest pub, in fact, is about five minutes’ walk away – and there are several more within a couple of miles, along with cafés, takeaways and shops. The shops in nearby Willington (five minutes’ drive) are likely to be particularly handy, as the site has a great little outdoor cooking area for guests to use, with a pizza oven and barbecues, plus picnic tables where you can serve up your creations. The level grass pitches also have access to a heated bathroom block (with ladies, gents and accessible facilities), a chemical disposal point and a communal fridge where you can stash your wares until you’re ready to cook. Golf, archery and axe throwing are among the outdoor activities you can try out nearby, and the proximity of both canal and river means there are plenty of options for fishing, launching canoes or just going for a scenic walk. A splendid two-mile walk along the canal brings you to Mercia Marina, where there is a nice assortment of shops, cafés and restaurants.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Decent site with plenty of space. Near to a good pub. Toilets and showers are quite clean but the buildings themselves are in need of a clean. There were BBQ facilities available as well as fire pits and wood that you could buy. It was a bit wet for that when we were there but the idea is nice. Some local canal walks nearby.

Disliked: No-one in the office on arrival and the phone went straight to voicemail so didn't know which pitch was ours. Eventually answered about an hour after arrival when I'd already picked a pitch at random and starting setting up. The guy was pretty relaxed about the pitch we did pick though so that was good. Couldn't find the chemical disposal point as it wasn't clearly labelled anywhere.

Open field primitive grass campsite

Liked: Well maintained site. Friendly welcome and plenty of space. Toilet block clean and tidy. Relaxed atmosphere. 5 min walk to nice pub and cafe.

Disliked: Busy roads in close proximity. Plus a freight train line and flight path. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

Liked: Everything, nice quiet location where the kids could play safely. The owners were more than helpful and bent over backwards to make our stay so great. Theres a lovely pub across the road that serves amazing food. Its located near the canal lock and we loved seeing all the canal boats. You can walk up or down the canal to other villages where you can relax and have food. We loved it that much we decided to stay another night which wasnt a problem to the owners at all! We will 100% be returning

Local attractions

If your countryside break isn’t complete without a cute farm animal or two, start with an outing to Bluebell Dairy Ice Cream Farm (25 minutes’ drive), where you can meet Highland cows, miniature ponies, pygmy goats and kunekune pigs before sampling something from the range of tempting ice creams. Alternatively, meet the fluffy alpacas and maybe even take some for a walk at Charnwood Forest Alpacas (20 minutes). Walking trails nearby include routes along the banks of the Trent & Mersey Canal and the River Trent. A particularly intriguing route goes via Anchor Church Caves (10 minutes) – a series of natural caves historically used as a worship spot for Christians evading persecution. For a bit more history, head to the 1620s House and Garden at Donington le Heath (half an hour), visit National Trust - Calke Abbey (20 minutes) or check out the vintage aircraft at East Midlands Aeropark (20 minutes). And if you haven’t explored Derby (20 minutes) yet, it’s worth noting there are some great museums there too, including the Museum of Making and Derby Computer Museum.
