  • 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.

May E.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt campsite

Liked The facilities were spotless. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Disliked We were probably unfortunate to get the final pitch next to the path leading to the main facilities and children’s playground which also ment we were furthest from the hook up and our cable didn’t reach. Luckily the staff had a longer one to loan us. Felt those pitches in particular were very close together, there wouldn’t have been much room to put the awning on given the proximity of the camper next door and their bbq.

James W.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Loved the campsite layout, all really well spaced and easy to get around. The facilities building seems fairly new and is really well looked after – clean toilets and showers throughout. The play park was great and kept the kids entertained, and the stick dens and woodland areas were a big hit for exploring. It’s also brilliant that the new kids’ bike trails are open nearby, along with more play areas – makes it ideal for families. Would definitely come back.

Disliked When booking, there were only a couple of pitch options left on arrival and we ended up with one of the smaller plots. It would be really helpful to be able to choose a specific pitch online beforehand, just so you know what to expect when you arrive. Shower floors could do with a hose down more regularly during peak times when everyone’s in there getting ready before check out.

Disliked There was a certain lack of signage , which meant you could get lost in the forest or walking from the camp' site to the visitors centre.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Friendly service. Cleanliness of the toilet and shower blocks. Fantastic location!
From checking in to checking out its been an amazing weekend. First time staying here and it won't be the last. Staff are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The facilities are great and so clean. Great shop on site too. Fantastic grounds and great walking and cycling routes. We had a wonderful day in sherwood pines on the bike ramps for our 5 year old too. Loved waking up to the birds singing. As we were leaving I nipped in to see if they still had availability for a weekend and booked it there and then. Can't wait to come back!

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.
