  • 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.

Liked Weather, fields were big and site was fairly quiet

Disliked Only 3 male toilets and some urinals for the whole campsite since the ones closest to us were out of order. Very expensive for the most basic tent pitch, £60 for 2 nights.

Lovely pitch well maintained. Great location.…

Liked Lovely pitch well maintained. Great location.

Disliked Showers could be cleaned more often. Super expensive shop, cost me £12 for 2 500ml bottles of Fizzy pop and 3 calypsos.

We love this site apart from the standards of cleaning

Liked Close to.where I needed to be for event on Sunday.

Disliked - Toilets and showers were disgusting. People were leaving them un-flushed, paper everywhere, urine on seats and around the floor. Showers were left muddy no way of cleaning after yourself.

- Noise, where we were told they enforced a 9:30pm quiet time, they did not. Children still running around and playing loudly after 10pm.

- Music on night of 12/13th July somewhere near city centre was so loud that I phoned the police twice only to be told that they couldn't spare officers. The noise was still going at 7am on 13!! Nobody slept.

- Electric sites need a very long cable to get to power and only told once we were driving up.
- Pot washing ran out of hot water.
Nobody on site to assist in anything.

Overall it’s a self serve site but feels a little bit overpopulated.

Local attractions

If you've any energy left over or you're hardily thinking that the watery and land-based activities of the Holme Pierrepont Country Park just aren't enough, get along to the cycle paths of Colwick Country Park on the outskirts of Nottingham, which have miles of waterside biking alongside the River Trent. 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.
