  • Quiet riverside pitches at a Nottinghamshire country pub
  • Lincoln, Southwell and Sherwood Forest all half an hour's drive
  • Kids and dogs welcome; home-cooked meals available in the pub
A quiet riverside spot… views across fields… lots of wildlife around… and walks, watersports and cycling just outside… well, it doesn’t get much better than that for a chilled-out camping spot, does it? Actually, perhaps it does – because when you stay at The Brownlow Arms, you’ll also have the added bonus of having a pub right next to your pitch too. And that means easy access to a drink and a meal at the end of your day out – with no need to drive back to your accommodation afterwards (good news when there’s a range of real ales to try out, perhaps…). It’s a very welcoming setup at this Nottinghamshire location, with both dogs and kids welcome, and a play area provided for the latter (handily within eyesight of the pitches so the kids can have a bit of independence while parents supervise from afar). The pub is open throughout the week for drinks, with home-cooked meals also available from Thursday to Sunday. The site itself has been nicely set up with a clutch of useful facilities including toilets, showers (both including accessible options), a chemical disposal point and wifi. Campfires and barbecues are permitted, with supplies available at the shops in Sutton on Trent and Tuxford, both within 10 minutes’ drive.

Liked The staff were very friendly and the area was really nice.
I was put on the carpark, I wasn't complaining. The lady that showed me where to pitch and plug in was very nice and explained she had only been there a few months, so was still finding her feet.

Disliked When my electric stopped working I went into the pub to find out why? I was greeted by a man asking if my electric had gone off, when I said yes he told me not to plug heater and kettle on at the same time as the plug had burnt out, he told me to use the gas for my kettle. I have never plugged two things on at the same time and didn't appreciate his attitude. I later found out that all the electric had blown on the field because of the heavy rain. Hence why I was in the carpark. Obviously it had been quite a stressful time for them.

Powered grass site

Liked Location - quiet, remote, scenic
On site pub - serve food and drinks reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere inside.
Welcoming and helpful

Disliked Lack of prior warning of how muddy the land was for camping - damaged 2 pairs of trainers within 5 minutes of arrival and van was filthy the day after. Got stuck the next day trying to leave. If we had been told about the muddy grounds we would have cancelled.
Risk of damage to vehicle - sharp tree stump next to van. We parked when it was dark and could have been further damage if we had driven over it. Not the sort of land you want to be driving across in a £60000 campervan!
Facilities - no toilet roll, couldn't have a shower as no heating on, apologies given at arrival that the area needed to be renovated, unisex toilets - as a lady i don't expect to be putting toilet seats down and the worry there's a male in the cubicle/shower next to me.
Play areas right next to vans

Unpowered grass site

Liked We had a fantastic 2 night stay, The welcome we received was excellent, we were directed to the field and told we could setup where we wanted so chose to set up looking out at the river, the food in the pub is excellent and the staff are brilliant, the facilities are in the process of being renovated and upgraded, we will definitely be booking a few more nights at the Brownlow arms,

Local attractions

Working up a thirst for your evening pint(s) shouldn’t be an issue around here, as it’s very easy to get out for a riverside walk or a bike ride on one of the nearby dedicated cycle paths. Something a bit different? Take a short walk to Marnham Boat Club to organise watersports including water-skiing. For local outings, head to the sobering but important National Holocaust Centre and Museum (15 minutes’ drive) or stop in Tuxford (10 minutes) for the Walks Of Life Museum and Museum of the Horse. A little further away, you may like to visit Southwell (half an hour) for the minster and National Trust - The Workhouse, or Newark-on-Trent (20 minutes) for its National Civil War Centre, air museum and castle. Continue the fresh-air activities with time at RSPB Langford Lowfields (20 minutes) or Sherwood Forest (half an hour), or opt for more city time with a day in Lincoln (half an hour), looking out for its castle, cathedral and bishops’ palace. National Trust members? Check out Clumber Park (20 minutes) and Hardwick Hall (50 minutes).
