  • Woodland site in historic Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire
  • Go Ape Sherwood 10 minutes’ walk; The Major Oak 10 minutes’ drive
  • Direct access to cycling trails and forest walks; bike station on site
Set on the edge of Sherwood Forest, known the world over for its links with the mythical Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Sherwood Pines Campsite is spread across 40 acres of gorgeous ancient woodland. First and foremost, it’s an excellent base for those who have big plans to explore the forest and its numerous hiking and cycling routes; there are paths directly from the pitches that guests can get straight out onto. Second? It’s within walking distance of many of the forest’s main activities, including adventure playgrounds, Go Ape Sherwood, bike hire, shady picnic spots and a schedule of open-air concerts held throughout the year. Plenty of useful amenities are available at Sherwood Pines too, including heated lockers for backpackers, a secure bike station for cyclists, a motorhome service point and a dog wash for four-legged guests. In summer, family activities take place on site. Mobile pizza and fish and chips vans visit most weekends. There is also a fresh coffee machine and a small shop in reception, handy if you need a quick caffeine boost or a snack before a big day out on the trails.

Peaceful forest campsite with great trails. Impeccable facilities, spacious sites, and super friendly staff get rave reviews. Ideal for families, near Go Ape. Food trucks available. Occasional WiFi glitches and can be busy in peak season.

Liked The site was absolutely amazing, the setting and tranquility was in bucket loads. The facilities were spotlessly clean and the staff were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of walks and cycle tracks direct from the site, which was a real bonus.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Second Visit to Sherwood Pines Campsite

This was our second visit to Sherwood Pines Campsite, and it certainly won’t be our last. It’s a fantastic site that’s well maintained and has everything we need for a relaxing family camping trip.

The toilet and shower facilities were spotless throughout our stay, which always makes a big difference when camping. The pitches are spacious, giving everyone plenty of room, and there’s lots of open space for the kids to roam, play, and explore safely.

One of the biggest highlights is the location. The campsite is just a two-minute walk from Sherwood Pines Forest, making it incredibly easy to access. From there, you’ll find loads of walking routes to suit all abilities, whether you’re after a short family stroll or a longer woodland walk.

Overall, this is a clean, family-friendly campsite in a brilliant location. We enjoyed it just as much as our first visit and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great base to enjoy the forest and the outdoors. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Local attractions

Want to explore the forest on two wheels? You won’t need to fret about securing a bicycle rack to your precious car, as Sherwood Pines Cycles (10 minutes’ walk) is right within striking distance. Go Ape Sherwood (10 minutes) is also within walking distance, making it easy to go from lounging on the pitch to gliding down a zipwire and gazing through the leaf canopies. If you’d rather spend your time batting golf balls with gusto, try the Sherwood Forest Golf Club (10 minutes) instead. For one of the area’s most legendary sights, head to The Major Oak (10 minutes’ drive), an ancient tree rumoured to be connected to the legendary Robin Hood. If you still have plenty of energy to expend on some challenging activities, the Adrenalin Jungle Activity Centre (25 minutes) runs activities such as assault courses and paintballing. Finally, should you feel like pausing the activities to take in some important history, The National Holocaust Centre and Museum (20 minutes) is not too far away either.
