Boat Lane Caravan and Camping

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 8.4 275 reviews

Peaceful Nottinghamshire park, a 10-minute walk from the River Trent
Half an hour's drive from Nottingham; 45 minutes from Sherwood Forest
Pubs with food, boat hire and fishing within 40 minutes' walk

Fancy a riverside retreat in Robin Hood country? Boat Lane Caravan and Camping has a berth for you. A 40-minute walk to the banks of the River Trent and a pair of popular pubs with grub, this site sits on a spot of prime Nottinghamshire countryside. They keep things simple at Boat Lane, allowing you enjoy the peace of its spacious tree-lined meadow with minimum fuss. There are hot showers in the well-maintained washrooms, a washing-up area for your pots and pans and everyone has access to a communal fridge for perishables (or Prosecco...). Dogs are welcome. The owners recommend a 10-minute walk to the pub at Bleasby (three minutes by car) or a 40-minute riverside stroll to the pub in Friskerton, followed by a boat ride down and/or across the Trent. The Domesday Book records a ferry crossing here in the 11th-century, so why not make like a medieval in a rowing boat? If you’d rather explore the waters without tiring yourself, make for Gunthorpe (a quarter of an hour away) for a river cruise or take your rods to Bleasby lake (a mere three minutes away) for day permit fishing.

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked: What a welcome from Martin -really explained all the facilities and obviously loved his job there. Forgot cards and cash and Olive the owner said bank transfer is fine. We could have stopped and chatted with Olive for ages -lovely woman. Went in a mohome no electric middle field. Buttercups everywhere birds singing had a great nights sleep. Walked to the river trent but not the local pubs as no cash! The whole site had a lovely feel and booked back in already for a return.

Disliked: None

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked: The toilets and showers were very clean loved how they had a kitchen area with microwave and sink to do your pots. The staff were lovely and helpful as well. Will definitely be coming again, not to far a walk down the road to the pub or to the River Trent. Amazing ill recommend to everyone I know

Disliked: Ground was abit tough and stoney so we struggled with the tent pegs and placement of our windbreaker.

Callum T. May 2025

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked: Another great stay at Boat Lane - fantastic location for walks along the Trent.

We headed one way towards Farndon via Fiskerton and stopped at the wonderful 'The Bromley' in Fiskerton on the way back - excellent selection of food and drink and reasonably priced.

Then walked the other way the next day for a ~2.5 hour stroll all the way to Gunthorpe.

If you enjoy good walks this is the site for you.

The site itself is peaceful, other guests are respectful and the facilities are ideal for a few nights away (fridge, freezer, washing up, kettle, microwave, toilets, showers, etc.)

Disliked: Nothing - all good!

Local attractions

A major hub since the days of Robin and his Merry Men, Nottingham (half an hour by car) still draws the crowds. Tour the castle and the caves, take a glass of ale in Ye Trip To Jerusalem (one of many contenders for the oldest pub in England crown), skate on ice at Motorpoint Arena and see how far law and order’s come since the Sheriff’s time in the National Justice Museum. Sherwood Forest, three quarters of an hour away, harbours no brigands these days; within the nature reserve, country park and Sherwood Pines Forest Park you will find 450 acres of wildlife with among ancient oak trees and a wealth of biking and walking trails taking you through them. Traverse the tree-tops on ropes and wires at Go Ape, or let the kids loose on Robin Hood’s Hideout, an acclaimed natural play area; on your way back, call in at Ferry Farm Country Park a quarter of an hour from the site, to pet the pigs, feed the lambs, zoom about on go-karts and get adventurous on the adventure playground. If the ancient forest’s fired you up about history, make for Newark (25 minutes) with its castle, National Civil War Centre and Air Museum. Or to feel as if you stepped back in time, take the 45-minute trip to Wollaton Hall, where herds of red and fallow deer roam round a lake in the grounds of a stately Elizabethan mansion.
