  • Small, peaceful site with scenic fishing lakes
  • A 10-minute drive from Retford and 15 minutes from Worksop
  • Play area, shop and café; angling and barbecues permitted
Tote your caravan along to the small and secluded site at Torworth Lakes and settle down at a spacious pitch overlooking a selection of lush fishing lakes. Another plus for this park? The location. Close to some of Nottinghamshire’s most-visited attractions, it’s a fab base for touring National Trust sites, historic market towns and kids’ adventure centres. Have a chat with the team about the main spots to visit – the staff here have all sorts of smashing suggestions up their sleeves. You could also ask them about places to eat, but don’t be surprised if they recommend the on-site café, which serves up mouth-watering grub, including breakfasts and cakes. There’s also a well-stocked farm shop for grabbing ingredients – think artisan bread, in-season fruit and veg, and locally sourced meat – particularly handy if you’ll be making the most of the fact that barbecues are allowed. Fishing is also permitted at this park, so anglers can sit down at purpose-built pegs and have a go at reeling in a variety of carp such as tench, barbel, koi, rudd, roach and orfe. Catch one of the biggest specimens, and an award comes in the form of an edible treat. Kids have a playground to check out, and wifi is available as well. Please note there's only one toilet and shower on site, so bear this in mind when booking.

What customers say

Peaceful site, spacious pitches, friendly staff, great cafe/farm shop. But, toilets/showers can be basic, fishing lakes need TLC, and there's some road/event noise.

Liked Not our first time visiting here. Lovely peace full site. The fishing ponds seem to have been alot better maintained since we visited in May. Will definitely be visiting again.

Disliked No personal contact with owners other than check in. More than one toilet would be better.

Liked Pitch had electric and water, fishing looked quite enough to fish with your kids pain free

Disliked Disgusting place the disposal location is to close and absolute stunk of urine and poo, the toilet was one toilet a mission away, and was being utilised by lots and lots of people, the noise of the road and railway was terrible kept us awake through the nights, and the cafe food was absolutely disgusting my pancakes were stale, my child's eggs were cold, we will never ever visit this place again we left a day early, on arrival your thrown a code for a padlock to the gate, many were leaving it open, so seemed pointless to me as they forget to close after they drove through it

Liked Great setting, really nice and friendly staff too! Our first visit here but definitely not our last. The pitches are level and nice and private with hedges between them with their own tap. Perfect for us, 10 minutes from our caravan storage place, can’t believe we haven’t found this place before! Looking forward to our next visit now, thank you!

Disliked Some noise from the main road but you soon manage to switch off from it.

Liked Pitch was good, lots of space nice and q ft quiet. Shop and bar were excellent.

Disliked Customer service, signage and facilities were the worst I've experienced over the last 3 years. Cold shower, (only one for males and females) no toilet roll in the one toilet. These areas both needed cleaning and this was Friday going in to the weekend. Site feels like a vanity project, owner has more money than sense

Local attractions

This site’s in rather a rural part of the country, so visitors have access to pretty parks, historic market towns and attractive architecture set in the middle of leafy countryside. If it’s green space you’re after, get to the National Trust’s Clumber Park (20 minutes’ drive) for cycling and walking on trails amid farmland and woodland, then wander down by the river at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve (five minutes). Got kids eager to eye up animals? Yomp to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park (15 minutes) and mingle with more than 300 different types of species. If you don’t have any nippers to think about, head to historic market towns like Bawtry (five minutes), Retford (10 minutes) and Newark (35 minutes) for grownup adventures. Roving around religious architecture is also within reach at Rufford Abbey (35 minutes) and Southwell Minster (40 minutes).
