  • 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 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.

Ashleigh D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Nice size campsite, central play area makes it easy to keep an eye on little ones. Facilities were very clean and tidy, plenty of toilets and showers and some family rooms too. Right next to the forest and a very short walk to Go Ape, cafe, big play area etc. Lots of shade for the hot summer months. Staff very friendly.

Disliked The only downside was the prize of the pizza van, nice to have the option there but quite expensive for what you get.

Powered grass campsite

Liked I will Definately be back. This place was amazing. Had every facility you could need. The facilities were spotless and smelt lovely. The site was quite and situated in among the lovely woods with numerous walks in the woods for my dog. I loved it. Surrounded by wildlife, rabbits feeding in the morning, squirrels. birds.

Disliked My only dislike was as an early riser I was packed up and ready to leave after a long dog walk. But could not leave until 7.30 until the barrier started to operate. As you had to put a code in to gain access I would have like this exit barrier to be able to leave at anytime by putting in a code.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Really clean facilities and a loved the pitch we had in one of the quiet glades. Great access to main area of sherwood.

Disliked Ashame you cannot request pitches on booking as I would not have liked the large busy main area and would love to go again but the risk of not getting a quiet area puts me off.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked We had a non electric grass pitch, the plot was really spacious. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The toilet and shower facilities were really good and well equipped, the site has family bathrooms and accessible bathrooms so cater for all .The site shop has all you need and bonus they sell local butcher packs for your BBQ which was really tasty and good quality. There’s a lovely play park if you have children or you’re just a big kid yourself. Walks and bike routes are all just a few steps away and are stunning.

Disliked I didn’t dislike anything as soon as we got home we booked again for a longer period.

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.
