  • Water- and land-based event centre in 270 acres of parkland
  • Easy access to Nottingham city centre, rail network and airport
  • Country walks, nature trails and lots to do for kids
What do you reckon is the main flavour of activities at this Nottinghamshire site? Yup, top of the menu at the Holme Pierrepont Country Park, near Nottingham are all sorts of watersports: you'll be able to tackle a whitewater course for canoeing, kayaking, rafting and tubing; paddleboarding, open-top canoeing and the inflatable assault course Wipe Out. But! This is a land-based activity centre too, so if you don't fancy plunging into the foamy depths or would quite like to stay dry for a day, other options can be tackled at the outdoor adventure zone where there's an aerial adventure course, miniature golf, a mini four-wheel drive course for kids, a kids' activity club and archery combat. A large play park, country walks and nature zones are also on site (please note some activities are subject to availability and must be booked at reception; early booking is advisable). Feeling a bit faint just from reading all this and think you'd rather spectate? The centre has kindly included a country park café and a regatta lake where it hosts its own events like rowing and canoe regattas, dragonboat racing and triathlons. Lots is on offer too to keep the kids amused, including a woodland adventure playground and a nature trail a short stroll away. Although all this energetic excellence is only 10 minutes' drive from Nottingham city centre, it's well into the countryside and away from anything townie, as it's deep in the 270 acres of parkland of Holme Pierrepont Country Park. The campsite part of the park covers 18 acres and has a facilities block with showers and toilets, and a site shop selling selected groceries and camping supplies.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Great Park great facilities

Disliked Was put on a dusty pitch even though the park was near empty. Would rather have been on a grassed pitch away from the diggers and machinery renovating some of the pitches. Our group was in two caravans. Our cars and vans were covered in dust inside and out.

Would return nice campsite and location

Rebecca H.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The weather was fantastic !

Disliked The shower and toilet blocks are dismal. There was 2 pot washing areas for a massive site, which one of them got closed down !
The site shop is either shut or had the cleaner trying to man it as the staff didn’t turn up. But to be fair you’re best off driving 10 mins to home bargains as it lacks anything you will need.
There is no security or site staff, it was 1.30 one night before we could get any sleep as there was a massive group with a fire pit that you’re not supposed to have.
The water park is a short walk but again there are all stalls and shops but only 1 open, it felt like closed season not the end of June.
There were building sand and stones on a disused pitch which was constantly covering everything!

Don’t book here !

Toilet/shower bock dirty over used smelly dark, how on earth they get away with one block for so many pitches/ people I don’t know
Staff rude and unhelpful, no information on the water sports opposite site yet huge banner advertising outside reception didn’t even know what time open til
Electric pitches poor quality couldn’t even charge phones properly

Local attractions

Wildlife watchers can wander around Skylarks Nature Reserve, owned by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, highly recommended by the Holme Pierrepont Country Park team and 15 minutes' drive from the site. The cricket ground of Trent Bridge, home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, is 10 minutes' drive away.
