  • Woodland site in historic Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire
  • Go Ape Sherwood 10 minutes’ walk; The Major Oak 10 minutes’ drive
  • Direct access to cycling trails and forest walks; bike station on site
Set on the edge of Sherwood Forest, known the world over for its links with the mythical Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Sherwood Pines Campsite is spread across 40 acres of gorgeous ancient woodland. First and foremost, it’s an excellent base for those who have big plans to explore the forest and its numerous hiking and cycling routes; there are paths directly from the pitches that guests can get straight out onto. Second? It’s within walking distance of many of the forest’s main activities, including adventure playgrounds, Go Ape Sherwood, bike hire, shady picnic spots and a schedule of open-air concerts held throughout the year. Plenty of useful amenities are available at Sherwood Pines too, including heated lockers for backpackers, a secure bike station for cyclists, a motorhome service point and a dog wash for four-legged guests. In summer, family activities take place on site. Mobile pizza and fish and chips vans visit most weekends. There is also a fresh coffee machine and a small shop in reception, handy if you need a quick caffeine boost or a snack before a big day out on the trails.

Liked Fantastic facilities. Great playpark on the site for the kids but also a short and accessible walk to the visitor centre. Friendly staff at check in and a well stocked reasonably priced on site shop. Despite being local, we will definitely be back!

Powered grass campsite

Liked Excellent camp site. Very clean facilities. Helpful staff on reception. Shop had basic goods as there was a vending machine for treats and drinks. All guests seemed respectful or each others space. We had an electric grass pitch for 3 days and had a great time. We have 2 small children and it was great for them to some exploring rather than looking at screens in the holidays. The main Sherwood Forest visitors is easy to get to too. A benefit is we got to choose our pitch. It did have free wifi but we did struggle a little it still so I wouldn’t rely on it.

Disliked I would suggest not being too close to the play area if you want it just a little quieter.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Great friendly staff well laid out campsite, great facilities including 2 waste points, bike washing, coffee vending and sweet vending. Ample camping services including poaching, laundry, duplicate facilities so no closure for cleaning, plus many more. The shop was well stocked and the whole site was very child friendly.

Disliked There was litter around our plot from previous occupants that wasn’t cleaned up for the 2 days we were there. The facilities could have been kept cleaner- maybe leave mops and cleaning equipment for customers to clean down the showers, like they do in the CAMC sites. Each time
I used the shower I had to get dressed out of the cubicle as the floor was wet from the previous person. Each time I used the toilet I had to clean up urine from the floor, it’s not the end of the world but when I’m paiyng a premium price (over £60 per night ) was I would expect a little more more. I’ve stayed in less expensive places with cleaner facilities.

Local attractions

Want to explore the forest on two wheels? You won’t need to fret about securing a bicycle rack to your precious car, as Sherwood Pines Cycles (10 minutes’ walk) is right within striking distance. Go Ape Sherwood (10 minutes) is also within walking distance, making it easy to go from lounging on the pitch to gliding down a zipwire and gazing through the leaf canopies. If you’d rather spend your time batting golf balls with gusto, try the Sherwood Forest Golf Club (10 minutes) instead. For one of the area’s most legendary sights, head to The Major Oak (10 minutes’ drive), an ancient tree rumoured to be connected to the legendary Robin Hood. If you still have plenty of energy to expend on some challenging activities, the Adrenalin Jungle Activity Centre (25 minutes) runs activities such as assault courses and paintballing. Finally, should you feel like pausing the activities to take in some important history, The National Holocaust Centre and Museum (20 minutes) is not too far away either.
