  • Small, peaceful touring site with five scenic lakes
  • A 10-minute drive from Retford and 15 minutes from Worksop
  • Play area, shop and restaurant; angling and barbecues permitted
Tote your caravan along to the small, friendly touring site at Torworth Lakes. With five peaceful lakes, a farm shop, a play area and a restaurant, this spot is very well-equipped for anglers, families and outdoorsy folks. Another plus for this park? The location. Surrounded by the Nottinghamshire countryside, it's close to some of Nottinghamshire’s most-visited attractions and 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 restaurant, 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. Day fishing with purpose-built pegs is also permitted at this park, so anglers can sit down at the well-stocked carp lakes to 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. There is one toilet and a separate shower room on site, as well as wifi.

What customers say

A quiet, tidy spot with plenty of room. Staff are friendly, cafe's great, and the scenery's lovely. Just a heads-up: toilets/showers are a bit of a trek and not well lit, and the fishing lake could use a spruce-up.

Liked Great Staff - very friendly

Very proactive with apologies (the staff apologised about a loud group of people who were partying until 1:00 am)

Disliked I would move anyone with a rooftop tent - away from the busy main road.

Liked The site was clean, easily accessible and not overcrowded. I love the bushes separating the pitches, gave some privacy and a little shade from the sun. The fishing lakes were clean and well maintained.

Disliked Not really anything to dislike. The only confusing thing was the laundry room. This was open but unsure if it was for the campsite to use, as it was untidy. But this was not an issue, just something to point out.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Good peaceful country side location.
Good pitch layout reasonably kept and clean.

Disliked Location and availability of toilet facilities.
There is only one toilet and one shower and these are over on the main building.
I appreciate the site is next to farm land and we did see the odd mouse. But some grass pitches have Rabbit / rodent runs down the length of the tree dividers which is not ideal.

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).
