- Quiet riverside pitches at a Nottinghamshire country pub
- Lincoln, Southwell and Sherwood Forest all half an hour's drive
- Kids and dogs welcome; home-cooked meals available in the pub
A quiet riverside spot… views across fields… lots of wildlife around… and walks, watersports and cycling just outside… well, it doesn’t get much better than that for a chilled-out camping spot, does it?
Actually, perhaps it does – because when you stay at The Brownlow Arms, you’ll also have the added bonus of having a pub right next to your pitch too. And that means easy access to a drink and a meal at the end of your day out – with no need to drive back to your accommodation afterwards (good news when there’s a range of real ales to try out, perhaps…).
It’s a very welcoming setup at this Nottinghamshire location, with both dogs and kids welcome, and a play area provided for the latter (handily within eyesight of the pitches so the kids can have a bit of independence while parents supervise from afar). The pub is open throughout the week for drinks, with home-cooked meals also available from Thursday to Sunday.
The site itself has been nicely set up with a clutch of useful facilities including toilets, showers (both including accessible options), a chemical disposal point and wifi. Campfires and barbecues are permitted, with supplies available at the shops in Sutton on Trent and Tuxford, both within 10 minutes’ drive.

Local attractions
Working up a thirst for your evening pint(s) shouldn’t be an issue around here, as it’s very easy to get out for a riverside walk or a bike ride on one of the nearby dedicated cycle paths. Something a bit different? Take a short walk to Marnham Boat Club to organise watersports including water-skiing.
For local outings, head to the sobering but important National Holocaust Centre and Museum (15 minutes’ drive) or stop in Tuxford (10 minutes) for the Walks Of Life Museum and Museum of the Horse. A little further away, you may like to visit Southwell (half an hour) for the minster and National Trust - The Workhouse, or Newark-on-Trent (20 minutes) for its National Civil War Centre, air museum and castle.
Continue the fresh-air activities with time at RSPB Langford Lowfields (20 minutes) or Sherwood Forest (half an hour), or opt for more city time with a day in Lincoln (half an hour), looking out for its castle, cathedral and bishops’ palace. National Trust members? Check out Clumber Park (20 minutes) and Hardwick Hall (50 minutes).
