  • 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.

What customers say

Spacious sites, close to National Water Sports Centre & Nottingham. Friendly staff & good amenities (showers/toilets) were praised. Some amenity blocks lacked cleanliness/maintenance (blocked toilets, poor drainage, outdated). Noise & shop hours were also issues for some.

Liked Loved the campsite and location on park view. Access to washing machines and plenty of space for children to play. Also a short to activities.

Disliked The toilets were disgusting. We arrived on Friday and they were not clean. Which is a shame, as when have previously been here they were fine. Shop is over priced. They need to be cleaned more frequently.

Liked Space

Disliked When arrived had to phone to ask them to lift height barrier and got a very Snotty lady and so told to wait as she had people in the shop. I waited for 20 mintues for her to open the barrier and the was hold up of traffic behind us.. Once inside i went to check in to be told you have an email with your pitch on. There was no map giving or no one to show ypu where the pitch was you had to find it yourself. Tye map on the email does not blow up to see. It was very dirty. Was in the shower and the cleaner came in and sweep the floor and that was it still as dirty as when i went for my shower. Sinks was not cleaned. Toilets need changeing as old and full of limescale. The shower block water runs onto the path. It was ment to be quick hour from 10.30pm music and noise still going at 12.00am. I wouldnt stay again. i think they need to put money in into having the toilets and shower blocks done as they are pass saving. I dont know how one cleaner can clean and the toilets and shower blocks and need training how to clean. They need to put two staff on in the shop one to handle the shop and other to handle the bookings and give you a map. Think staff need training on how to greet people. We stay on the hardstaning pitch and there was no sign think there needs to be one. The put the park on but its not on the site its down the road.

Liked Only good thing about this stat was the water sports

Disliked Unfortunately the stay we had wasn’t great at all. Parties going on until 3am = no sleep. Toilets were not clean at all always smelt of urine. Showers were scolding hot so couldn’t shower at all.
There is no security throughout the night and the number they provide out of hours is useless.
We won’t be staying again.

Liked The site was perfect for what we wanted as a group of friends with children, lots of space between pitches and the site kindly put our pitches next to each other as requested. There was lots of pre arrival information also.

Disliked The main toilet block wasn’t cleaned enough and the sanitary bins in the ladies were full and overflowing which wasn’t very nice to see

Local attractions

If you've any energy left over or you're hardily thinking that the watery and land-based activities of the Holme Pierrepont Country Park just aren't enough, get along to the cycle paths of Colwick Country Park on the outskirts of Nottingham, which have miles of waterside biking alongside the River Trent. Wildlife watchers can wander around Skylarks Nature Reserve, owned by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, highly recommended by the Holme Pierrepont Country Park team and 15 minutes' drive from the site. The cricket ground of Trent Bridge, home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, is 10 minutes' drive away.
