  • Quiet Nottinghamshire site overlooking a network of peaceful lakes
  • A 15-minute drive/20-minute bus ride from Nottingham city centre
  • Fishing on site; a short walk to Holme Pierrepont watersports centre
Wildlife and watersports in one location? If that sounds like a wonderful mix, nip off to Nottinghamshire and a stay at Copper Fox Camping. This welcoming site is a mere 15 minutes’ drive from central Nottingham – not that you’ll notice the city’s proximity when you’ve settled into one of these peaceful pitches. As the name suggests, this site is centred around its lakes, which provide an attractive backdrop to the pitches as well as the two largest being well stocked with carp, perch, chub and roach for anglers. Day tickets and night fishing sessions are bookable on site. Alternatively, of course, you could simply admire the watery views from your pitch, perhaps grabbing a couple of drinks or getting your barbecue going to provide sustenance while you soak up this serene atmosphere. This is a popular spot for wildlife too, with the Skylarks Nature Reserve next door being a good place to wander along the trails to see what you can see. From here it’s also just a few minutes’ walk to the National Water Sports Centre and Holme Pierrepont Country Park, where you can try out whitewater rafting, paddleboarding and kayaking or hit the treetop trails, adventure playground and miniature golf in the Outdoor Adventure Zone. Walks along the banks of the River Trent are also very close by, or you can stroll to the village of Radcliffe on Trent in about half an hour for food and drinks in one of its excellent pubs.

Lovely, peaceful spot by the lake, great for wildlife and views. Good value, dog-friendly too. Basic facilities for now, with new ones coming. Perfect for short, natural breaks.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely spot on side of lake, very pretty and peaceful. Next to nature reserve where I enjoyed walking, many kinds of waterbirds on lake. Lake was perfect for paddleboard and cooling dips. Very enjoyable stay.
Had difficulty finding the site( sat.nav
not to be trusted) but Sally and family were very helpful and friendly and soon sorted me out. Facilities basic, as clearly stated, though there is now a new, very clean, flushing toilet and showers will be ready soon n

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Back to basics in a peaceful location with water, fishing and walks. Nottingham a short bus/taxi/car ride away. Cheap.

Disliked Very basic with portaloo and single tap (though it looked like a shower block was being installed). Narrow access road shared with wedding venue can get crowded

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Awesome spot by the lake for camping, great vibe, nature, and super quiet, perfect for campfires and BBQs, and dogs are welcome,great walking paths.They have new showers and toilet facilities. We will come back

Disliked There was only one toilet on site and it wasn't pleasant to use it. The new ones were already out in place and were much nicer, but one was open the next day. The owner was great and apologized

Liked Love this site - second time we've visited, and will definitely be back again. Was a problem with one of the portaloos the first night, but all ok for the second, and it'll be great when the new shower/loo block is open.

Local attractions

Copper Fox Camping is a great location for a break that mixes up countryside and city – as well as fishing on site and outdoor activities at Holme Pierrepont Country Park you may like to play a round at Radcliffe-on-Trent Golf Club (10 minutes’ drive) or take a vineyard tour at Wolds Wine Estate (20 minutes). There are several grand buildings dotted around too, including Wollaton Hall, Gardens and Deer Park (25 minutes) and Belvoir Castle (half an hour), plus family attractions like Floralands Farm Park (half an hour). Sports fans may also like to see if they can catch some actions at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground or the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground (both 10 minutes). For some city time, board one of the regular bus services to Nottingham to see the castle, the National Justice Museum and Nottingham Industrial Museum. Also don’t miss the chance to go beneath the city’s streets at City of Caves, a surprisingly large network that’s been in use since Anglo-Saxon times.
