  • 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.

What customers say

This top-rated campsite is nestled in Sherwood Pines Forest. Campers rave about clean, modern restrooms, spacious, level sites, and direct access to hiking and biking trails. Friendly staff, a great playground, and dog-friendly amenities are big pluses. Occasional noise from groups or the playground can occur.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Loved the play area for the kids, the way the pitches were set up so you had plenty of space. The pitches were nice and level, staff were really friendly and helpful. It was a very clean and tidy site.

Disliked The showers were not great, so annoying having to constantly turn them on
The WiFi was poor, it kept kicking us out and after the first night we rarely had Internet at all.

Bothy camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked We came as a group of 18 some with caravans etc. This was perfect for us who wanted to be on the campsite so still part of the group without our own camping equipment. The campsite parked the caravans close to the bothy so we were all as a group so it was perfect. They had the heating on ready for arrival. Everything you needed kitchen wise including, kettle, toaster, coffee and tea. Can not fault

Disliked No matches for the fire, but the heating was warm so we didn't need.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Absolutely beautiful. This has to be one of my new favourite places. So peaceful and the staff certainly went the extra mile and really friendly. Beautiful walks around the forest and so peaceful you could hear your heartbeat.

Disliked There was absolutely nothing I disliked about this site. The staff were great. The site was well run clean and just perfect I didn't want to come home.

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.
