Entrance to the site
Site entrance

  • Riverside site spread over 50 acres, 10 minutes' drive from Mansfield
  • On the edge of Sherwood Forest, close to walks and activities
  • Family-friendly site with play areas and fishing; dogs welcome
Sherwood Forest is of course best known for its Robin Hood connections – but these days there’s little need to worry about outlaws while visiting the area. In fact, this lovely Nottinghamshire nature area is a very peaceful place these days, although you may need to watch out for a Gruffalo along some of the trails… Surrounded by woodlands, fields and lakes and on the banks of the River Maun, Sherwood Forest Holiday Park makes an excellent base for time spent in the famous forest and touring other nearby attractions. You’ll be able to spot wildlife while you’re here (peacocks, swans and squirrels included), head out into the forest for walks, bike rides and other activities, or find farm parks, amusement parks and museums to fill your time with. This park, 10 minutes’ drive from Mansfield, spreads out over a fabulous 50 acres, so there’s plenty of space to relax among the natural surroundings. It doesn’t feel like one big sprawling site though, as it’s been divided up into smaller areas for more of a cosy, sheltered feeling. Each of the pitch areas has its own character – some are closer to play areas for families, while others are quieter and more suited to relaxing breaks – so feel free to specify which you’d prefer. Wherever you stay at this park, you’ll have good access to amenities including toilet and shower blocks, chemical disposal points and other handy things including a food shop and a launderette. Play areas are scattered around for the younger guests, and there’s access to the river for fishing (if you have a licence). Dogs are welcome too, and should have plenty of options for walks nearby.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We have just spent two fantastic nights camping here with another family, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better campsite.
The wardens, Nick and his wife Linda, were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. They were always happy to stop for a chat and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.
We were lucky enough to have our tents next to the river, which runs through the whole campsite. The children absolutely loved it and spent hours playing by the water from morning until evening. It's such a family-oriented campsite with a lovely atmosphere.
There are two small play areas for children, plenty of clean toilets and washing facilities, and a well-stocked shop that has all the essentials you might need. During our stay we were pleasantly surprised to have a pizza van, an ice cream van and a fish & chip van visit the site, which was a lovely bonus.
At the far end of the campsite there is also a fishing lake and a café (there is a small charge to use the fishing lake), which is another great place for families to enjoy.
The campsite is in a perfect location next to Sherwood Forest, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.
One thing to note is that open fires are not allowed unless you purchase the approved fire log from the campsite shop, but BBQs are permitted.
Thank you, Nick, Linda and the whole team, for such an amazing stay. We made wonderful family memories and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Local attractions

You’ll want to start in Sherwood Forest itself, of course – it’s now home to some great activities including archery, disc golf and quad biking, or you can try the high ropes courses at Go Ape Sherwood (10 minutes' drive). There are also lots of great trails to follow, including kid-friendly Gruffalo and Room on the Broom paths and trails around the huge and ancient Major Oak. If you’ve brought the kids along for a holiday, you may also like to try places like Willow Tree Family Farm (15 minutes), Robin Hoods Wheelgate Park (15 minutes) or Freestyle Trampoline Park, Soft Play and Inflatable (25 minutes) – the last of these particularly handy for a damp day. More of a grownup break? See the old King John's Palace (20 minutes’ walk), explore Mansfield Museum (10 minutes’ drive) or take a wander around Hardwick Hall (half an hour). The Sherwood Forest Railway (five minutes) and Sherwood Observatory (25 minutes) are also great for all ages.
