  • Lovely six-acre Derbyshire site in the village of Stenson
  • A 20-minute drive from Derby and close to canal and river activities
  • Pizza oven and barbecue area on site; local pub five minutes' walk
How far do you have to go from a city centre to find a place for a relaxing rural stay? In the case of Derbyshire’s Four Oaks Campsite, the answer is not far at all – this six-acre site in the village of Stenson is a mere five miles from Derby. That location makes this a pretty convenient site to travel to (especially if you’re a local looking for a quick breath of fresh air), and once you’re here you’ll be able to leave all thoughts of urban life behind. The surroundings here are all about countryside, canals, rivers and village pubs. The closest pub, in fact, is about five minutes’ walk away – and there are several more within a couple of miles, along with cafés, takeaways and shops. The shops in nearby Willington (five minutes’ drive) are likely to be particularly handy, as the site has a great little outdoor cooking area for guests to use, with a pizza oven and barbecues, plus picnic tables where you can serve up your creations. The level grass pitches also have access to a heated bathroom block (with ladies, gents and accessible facilities), a chemical disposal point and a communal fridge where you can stash your wares until you’re ready to cook. Golf, archery and axe throwing are among the outdoor activities you can try out nearby, and the proximity of both canal and river means there are plenty of options for fishing, launching canoes or just going for a scenic walk. A splendid two-mile walk along the canal brings you to Mercia Marina, where there is a nice assortment of shops, cafés and restaurants.

What customers say

Friendly staff, clean grounds, great spot near canal paths & pubs. Pitches usually spacious/level. Some note dated restrooms & occasional drainage smells, though many liked the cleanliness/hot water. Road/train noise noted. Relaxed vibe, helpful owners; many plan to return.

Open field primitive grass campsite

Liked Hi we booked a field pitch with a campervan. The field is bumpy but lots of space on the edge to camp, and use chocks..although we didn't need to.
It was busy on Friday to sun in the hard standing pitches. That said the toilets and showers where always clean and tidy and plenty of hot water and loo roll.

We were lucky to camp with other campers with children and my boys loved the open space, playing in the woods, playing cricket and football.

Andy who meet us, was amazing and gave some fabulous advice of the local areas and things to do.
The no noise after 10/ 10:30 was good and all respected.

Would certainly visit again.
Lush canal walks, local caves and national trust to explore. Along with the bubble in, and Lagan Indian restaurant which are fabulous places to eat.

Everywhere we went including the site really is dog and child friendly.

Local attractions

If your countryside break isn’t complete without a cute farm animal or two, start with an outing to Bluebell Dairy Ice Cream Farm (25 minutes’ drive), where you can meet Highland cows, miniature ponies, pygmy goats and kunekune pigs before sampling something from the range of tempting ice creams. Alternatively, meet the fluffy alpacas and maybe even take some for a walk at Charnwood Forest Alpacas (20 minutes). Walking trails nearby include routes along the banks of the Trent & Mersey Canal and the River Trent. A particularly intriguing route goes via Anchor Church Caves (10 minutes) – a series of natural caves historically used as a worship spot for Christians evading persecution. For a bit more history, head to the 1620s House and Garden at Donington le Heath (half an hour), visit National Trust - Calke Abbey (20 minutes) or check out the vintage aircraft at East Midlands Aeropark (20 minutes). And if you haven’t explored Derby (20 minutes) yet, it’s worth noting there are some great museums there too, including the Museum of Making and Derby Computer Museum.
