  • Spacious and grassy site on the banks of the River Trent
  • Watersports centre and several theme parks a short drive away
  • Riverside walks and bike rides, boat trips and restaurants nearby
Shoot along for a stay here… you'll have enough to do in scenic surrounds to keep you occupied for aeons. Gunthorpe Camping is a small family-friendly site set on a level grassy paddock next to the River Trent, making it most handy for riverside walks and bike rides direct from the grounds, and canoeing, kayaking, fishing and boat trips all nearby. There's also the National Watersports Centre and Sundown Adventureland within 40 minutes' drive… and when you're tuckered out and back at base, several good bars and restaurants are within a short stroll. The grassy paddock is open and surrounded by hedges and mature trees, so you'll have plenty of space to spread out as well as hunker down when the mood takes you. You should have a peaceful and comfy stay here too: the grounds are well-maintained and the showers in the bright clean washrooms have plenty of hot water. Barbecues are allowed, so it's all systems go if you want to grill up an alfresco feast by the riverbank.

What customers say

Quiet, well-kept site, spacious flat pitches, good electrics. Friendly owners. Clean, adequate facilities, though some found them basic. Great location for river walks, pubs, eateries. On-site animals & views are big pluses.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We've just returned from a brilliant weekend. Great communication for check in, clear instructions and pitches well marked out. Toilet and shower block amazing one of the best camping showers I've ever used. Clean, modern and well maintained. I loved the security gate made you feel safe, great site for a chilled stay. We took a stroll along the river, the pubs close by looked great we didn't go in.

Disliked Can't complain about anything!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Flat field surrounded by natural hedges which were not overly cut... Electricity points and numbered plots but no formal demarcation. Not crowded. Lovely view. Brilliant location by River Trent and lock, with walks both ways. Good eating places near by.

Disliked Nothing other than i couldn't stay another night because it was booked up.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nice pitches, with plenty of room for caravan, Awning and Car. Good electric points. Owners come and welcome you to the site. Good toilets and showers, wash up area. A good few local bars, restaurants and takeaway nearby. Lovely walk along the Canal. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes good views, and open fields. Don't just take my word for it. Book yourself onto the site.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Site has everything you could need for a lovely stay. Plenty of bars and restaurants local to the site and a lovely cafe just a 5 min walk for all your breakfast needs. Nice touch is that Anthony (who I pressume is the owner) comes round and welcomes everyone and clarifies you have his number in case you need him.

Disliked Not the most modern toilet/showers but nothing that would ruin a stay here.

Local attractions

Despite the industrial past and present, Nottinghamshire has many fab natural landscapes: the wetlands at Skylarks Nature Reserve, a 20-minute drive from the site are as rich with feathered life as any you'll see on TV nature channels. For more adventurous hours, there's go-karting 15 minutes' drive away in Netherfield, and a massive array of high octane stuff (not all of it watery) at the National Watersports Centre (20 minutes' drive) including Segway rides, high ropes, wakeboarding and rafting. Then there's Sherwood Forest and Sherwood Forest Pines Park 40 minutes away… a leafy combination of legend, history, nature reserve, country park and adventure centre, with hiking and biking trails through 450 acres of ancient oaks and wildlife. Adventureseekers can see it from the treetops on ropes and wires at Go Ape, and the kids can clamber about at the award-winning natural play area Robin Hood’s Hideout. For family antics out of the forest, Sundown Adventureland (40 minutes) has rides and themed playgrounds for the under-10s; Twinlakes Park offers birds of prey shows and creepy critters along with its waterpark and rollercoaster rides, and for the real big-ride fanatics, it's an hour and a half to Alton Towers. It's half an hour to Nottingham for tours of the castle and the caves, stopping for snifters in Ye Trip To Jerusalem and ice skating at Motorpoint Arena. You could also hire bikes for a trip through Colwick Country Park (20 minutes' drive), a pleasant combo of woodlands, lakes, meadows and playgrounds where you can swim, fish, walk, sail and spot wildlife.
