The Brownlow Arms

Liked Great atmosphere on camp site and in pub. Friendly staff. Happened to have live music that night.

Disliked Shower block really needs updating. I had a cold shower as water supply is not isolated from others.

Liked The pitch space was great, liked the fact the toilet and shower was close by and the park for the little one.

Disliked The wait for the food took just over an hour and you had to pre book for a table we wasn’t told this but it was pot luck when we walked in for a table the lady behind the bar said we was the very last people to order food . We did enjoyed it when it arrived. Maybe tell the guest if there’s a wait on the food.

Liked Rural location,great dog friendly pub with live music on Saturday night and lovely food. Straight on to the river for a dog walk. Play areas for kids and lovely willow tree for a shaded area if hot.

Disliked There was some noise in the car park early hours after the live music people staying late. No shop or town in walking distance.

Liked We had a fantastic stay at Brownlow Arms Camping and couldn’t fault it. Karen was a wonderful host – friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help.

The pitches were good, the setting was lovely, and the whole site had a great atmosphere. The food in the pub was absolutely amazing and very reasonably priced, making it excellent value for money. The live music on Saturday night was terrific and really added to the friendly, enjoyable vibe.

The men’s toilet facilities were still a work in progress during our stay, but the ladies’ facilities had already been refurbished and were very good.

Overall, we had a brilliant time and would 100% recommend Brownlow Arms Camping to anyone looking for a friendly, relaxing place to stay. We will definitely be booking again!

Disliked Nothing

Liked The area, very pretty. Easily accessible with a tourer. The Pub was lovely and ghe hosts very friendly.

Oh and I loved the resident ducks - I have a thing for Ducks and they made my day.

Disliked Not a dislike really but was looking forward to a pub meal, but they only serve food Thurs - Sun and I can understand that its because of the foot fall so no criticism.

Wifi service ok in the bar non existent on the campsite.

Liked Well kept grounds and pitches

Disliked As the potential to be a lovely site, not there yet, not enough toilets or showers, for size of site, they said female toilet had been refurbished. Bar staff didn’t listen, people seen vaping in the bar area (inside) nothing said overall disappointed

Liked Beautiful place and the owner is really amazing. I left an hour early expecting heavy traffic due to the bank holiday. However roads were clear and i arrived early. She got me and my kids booked in and we set up.
Its a very wonderful family area and everyone just got along inviting kids to play together and have some random fun with slip and slide with spare air beds. It was amazing.

The pub is having renovations but i cant wait to return to see how that finish turns out. They do amazing 🍺 pints which is just what you need on a hot day.
Its quite and clean with a small play area right in sight to let kids roam and have some responsibility learning.
But under supervision from a distance.

Toilets are really clean and stocked.

No WI-FI which is amazing when you need to get the family away from technology and shut down fully. I would recommend the owners not change that, its what everyone needs!
Its close to Sherwood forest 32 min drive (if you are geo-chasing definitely hit Sherwood you won’t be disappointed! 12 mins from the closest fish and chips in Tuxford if needed.
The pub wasn’t doing food on the nights i stayed (i was hoping they did as the food reviews were wonderful) this i think is due to the renovation they are having but who doesn’t love having your own camp site cook-out!

Plenty of electricity hookups if you have booked Nd really great distance i have my 10m and it was more than enough.

So i would suggest checking whenever you stay what nights food is on.

Disliked Only thing i disliked is the showers. Took ages to get myself and the kids showered because of the set up 10 seconds ice cold 15 seconds scolding (which for children is a very big danger, i would recommend the owners get this sorted over time to prevent accidents) 10 seconds of right temp.
So when using the shower be very careful and be very wary you can get scolded. Listen to the pump when it turns on step back and wait if you have kids or yourself.

It was absolutely amazing and I would absolutely recommend the site to friends and family 100% just the shower issue is a tiny small problem. But don’t let this put you off at all, you won’t be disappointed.
