  • Off-grid wild pitches by two lakes in the Nottinghamshire countryside
  • A 15-minute drive to Belvoir Castle, and 10 minutes to Newark-on-Trent
  • A short drive away from shops, pubs and stately houses
Encompassing a 232-acre site in glorious Nottinghamshire countryside, Belvoir Waters is an eco-friendly, wild site with one golden rule: be as environmentally thoughtful as possible. You’re left to your own devices to find your perfect pitch among natural woodland, surrounded by three lakes covering 80 acres of water. Surrounded by three lakes covering 80 acres of water, this is a peaceful place where couples and families can wander around the lakes and stroll the woodland walks, listening out for some of the 180 bird species spotted in the area. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too. You’ll need to be self-sufficient and bring all your own camping gear, but you can park by your pitch, so there’s no lugging of equipment across fields for you. As the site is completely off-grid, it’s best to add in a barbecue as well as bits and bobs for cooking when you’re packing. But don’t worry too much about the packing – anything you’ve forgotten can be picked up in Newark-on-Trent (10 minutes’ drive), which has plenty of supermarkets as well as fish and chip shops or Chinese takeaways. Newark Royal Market (on Wednesdays) has been held in the market square pretty much non-stop since the 12th century, and it’s a special treat to rummage around the stalls for fresh local produce.

What customers say

A popular, secluded wild camping spot. Reviewers love the peaceful atmosphere, spacious pitches, and beautiful lake. Basic facilities, but campfires and unspoiled nature are big draws. Access tracks can be tricky.

Lakeside primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked Absolutely stunning location, so peaceful. The spaces ensure you have privacy from others. We pitched right next to the lake and it was heaven. Great for the dog to be able to explore without restrictions.

Disliked No where to discard of rubbish.

Primitive forest floor tent campsite

Liked Love what has become our usual spot with the little bank beach bit. Been coming for the past 5 years now.
Plenty of space and the locked gate.

Disliked Not as private as usual with very visible neighbours on the lake side with caravans.

Mark T.

Lakeside primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked The space between the pitches was great and the scenery was fab.
the Staunton Arms was about 1 mile away.
a nice walk for the dogs all round the lakes.
very peaceful.
you need to be self contained to stay here, no facilities at all.

Disliked there was a portaloo which was not advertised, however this was desperate for a service. this would of been a nice added extra if it was not reminiscent of a last day festival portaloo.
the road in was ok for us however if you have a low profile car, be careful on the tracks.

All round brilliant. Will return soon.

Lakeside primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked Loved everything about that place. We had the so much space around and it was so peaceful. Got greeted by Alan and his friend Roger and taken to the place. We was right by the lake, we did paddle boarding and the kids swam in the lake.
Where we stayed the toilets were a bit far but we didn't have a problem with that. If you want relaxing and a view this is the place.

Disliked Nothing

Liked Loved everything about our stay at Belvoir Waters. Alan and Roger were very helpful. Even allowing us to stay on the water after packing up to continue paddle boarding.

Location in the woods was brilliant. Access was good, cleared for driving through.

Local attractions

Belvoir Castle (15 minutes’ drive) may well be your first stop. Built in the early 19th century, it has adventure playgrounds and woodland paths for kids and dogs to run around in, as well as guided tours of the 'big house'. When you’ve had your fill of history, you can replenish energy levels at the restaurants, ice-cream parlours and unusual shops at The Engine Yard retail village. Lovers of old houses might also like to glance over Elizabethan-era Wollaton Hall (40 minutes) and its manicured parkland – they do a spooky ghost tour (one way to make the kids behave) and lots of Tudor-themed events during summer. If you’d prefer to get more active on your holiday, there are plenty of cycling and walking trails – for all levels – all around the campsite. There’s also a riding school (five minutes), a couple of golf courses and a public swimming pool (all 20 minutes).
