  • Peaceful touring pitches with rural views for CAMC members only
  • A 10-minute drive from Retford and 35 minutes from Sherwood Forest
  • Bicycle hire on site; under 10 minutes’ walk from a pub and shop
Nipping to the countryside for a weekend away or a break from work and life duties? If you're a Caravan and Motorhome Club member, use Willow Beck Retreat Certificated Location (a CAMC members-only site) as your Nottinghamshire bolthole. The touring pitches are on the edge of the village of North Leverton. First and foremost, this translates to excellent views of the countryside. However, it also has the nice touch of being just a five-minute walk to a village shop and under 10 minutes along a footpath to a traditional local pub. Guests can head out to explore on two wheels easily here, as Willow Beck Retreat Certificated Location has bike hire facilities. If you’re not feeling too energetic when it comes around to it, chilling out on the site is made comfy and convenient by a convenient amenities block with gas-powered hot showers, toilets and a hand-washing basin. The pitches also have their own drinking water and grey waste disposal facilities. On a lazy day, weave in a visit to the North Leverton Windmill visitor centre just a five-minute walk away. Built in 1813, the windmill is still going strong and sells flour and other local products. For a spot of shopping or café- and bar-hopping instead, eye up the historical market town of Retford 10 minutes’ drive away.

What customers say

A tranquil spot with plenty of room on well-kept sites, many with powered hook-ups. Clean loos and showers are a hit. Handy pub and shop nearby, plus a working windmill. Some found road noise and electric costs a bit steep.

Carys R.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (members only)

Liked Small well kept site with nice fully serviced pitches and a big field for children to run around. We liked that each pitch also had a picnic bench

Disliked There was no play area as advertised on the listing and shown on the photos which was a key factor when booking the site, hence the rating. We also found the road to be quite noisy as the site is next to a busy road.

From the manager: Hi we are sorry you’re disappointed. We did have play equipment which the council made us take away. Said we need plan permission I will go on the website and take the photographs off

Ben A.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (members only)

Liked A little gem of a site. A handful of decent sized gravel pitches, a clean toilet and shower, and very peaceful. The owner was very relaxed and kind, and the fees are very fair. We found electricity was reasonable- we turned the fridge down a little and switched our heating to dual fuel, and £6 lasted us two days. There is only one shower on site so bear this in mind if arriving with a bigger group.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (members only)

Liked Perfect little hidden gem. Peaceful and very quiet. Nice sized gravel pitches. Take £1 Coins with you for electric. We stayed for 2 nights and used £1.60. We have a Peugeot Boxer M/H. Location is great and the Windmill just down the road is a must. Retford is 10 mins drive down the road so great for shopping and eateries.

From the manager: We can’t keep everyone happy the Moto home is American but it’s not huge. We have English ones come that are much bigger and it’s definitely not illegal for anyone at reading this comment. Just read the rest of the comments. Everyone is happy like I say, we can’t keep everyone happy.

Local attractions

Whether you were raised on Robin Hood or simply fancy a good woodland stroll, Sherwood Forest (35 minutes’ drive) makes a splendid addition to any day’s plan. The forest has a short trail to the ‘Magic Oak’, a tree with a 10-metre trunk girth and a collection of up to 150,000 acorns when the conditions are optimal. If you’re up for a long-ish cycle, stop by the forest café before taking your wheels onto the Sustrans Route 6 passing by the outskirts of the forest reserve. Travelling with under-10s? Sundown Adventureland (five minutes) has miniature rides and quick entertainment for those still in their primary school years. Alternatively, grab a ‘discovery backpack’ from the café-shop at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve (Notts Wildlife Trust) (15 minutes) and go birdwatching from the boardwalks. Any keen anglers may want to go to Wetlands Lakes (15 minutes) for a day of carp fishing, as long as they’re armed with the correct licence. Otherwise, the National Trust’s Clumber Park (20 minutes) has 3,800 acres of gorgeous parkland including 20 miles of cycling paths, a second-hand bookshop, and an avenue with 1200+ lime trees.
