  • Water- and land-based event centre in 270 acres of parkland
  • Easy access to Nottingham city centre, rail network and airport
  • Country walks, nature trails and lots to do for kids on site
What do you reckon is the main flavour of activities at this Nottinghamshire site? Yup, top of the menu at the Holme Pierrepont Country Park, near Nottingham, are all sorts of watersports: you'll be able to tackle a whitewater course for canoeing, kayaking, rafting and tubing; paddleboarding; and open-top canoeing. This is a land-based activity centre too, so if you don't fancy plunging into the foamy depths or would quite like to stay dry for a day, other options can be tackled at the outdoor adventure zone where there's an aerial adventure course, miniature golf, a kids' activity club and archery combat. A large play park, country walks and nature zones are also on site (please note some activities are subject to availability and must be booked at reception; early booking is advisable). Feeling a bit faint just from reading all this, and think you'd rather spectate? The centre has kindly included a country park café and a regatta lake where it hosts its own events like rowing and canoe regattas, dragonboat racing and triathlons. Lots are on offer too to keep the kids amused, including a woodland adventure playground and a nature trail, a short stroll away. Although all this energetic excellence is only 10 minutes' drive from Nottingham city centre, it's well into the countryside and away from anything townie, as it's deep in the 270 acres of parkland of Holme Pierrepont Country Park. The campsite part of the park covers 18 acres and has a facilities block with showers and toilets, and a site shop selling selected groceries and camping supplies.

Liked The friendliness of the staff is exceptional and the amount to do there is brilliant.

Disliked Our pitch wasn’t very secure as there was a big alley way to walk onto a main road directly behind our tent (we had young children). The pitch wasn’t proper grass, ours was a mix of grass and lots of gravel. The toilets and showers weren’t very clean at all and didn’t stay on when showering.

Liked Lovely little child friendly site, very polite staff, on site shower facilities and pot washing stations and industrial washer/dryer so got all our washing done before we came home, little park for the kids and right next door to the country park which is fantastic for paddle boarding or a day out with the kids. Close to shopping centres and big supermarkets.
BBQS and fire pits allowed will definitely book here again.

Disliked Shop wasn’t great didn’t really sell much but close by to big supermarkets so wasn’t an issue, shower/toilet facilities need up dating, showers are press button or sensors and only stay on about 5 seconds at a time. Toilets could do with a clean more regularly.
