  • Woodland site in historic Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire
  • Go Ape Sherwood 10 minutes’ walk; The Major Oak 10 minutes’ drive
  • Direct access to cycling trails and forest walks; bike station on site
Set on the edge of Sherwood Forest, known the world over for its links with the mythical Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Sherwood Pines Campsite is spread across 40 acres of gorgeous ancient woodland. First and foremost, it’s an excellent base for those who have big plans to explore the forest and its numerous hiking and cycling routes; there are paths directly from the pitches that guests can get straight out onto. Second? It’s within walking distance of many of the forest’s main activities, including adventure playgrounds, Go Ape Sherwood, bike hire, shady picnic spots and a schedule of open-air concerts held throughout the year. Plenty of useful amenities are available at Sherwood Pines too, including heated lockers for backpackers, a secure bike station for cyclists, a motorhome service point and a dog wash for four-legged guests. In summer, family activities take place on site. Mobile pizza and fish and chips vans visit most weekends. There is also a fresh coffee machine and a small shop in reception, handy if you need a quick caffeine boost or a snack before a big day out on the trails.

What customers say

A super clean, organised, friendly spot in Sherwood Pines. Guests rave about the modern facilities, big pitches, and forest trail access. Staff are really helpful. Great for families, couples, and dogs. WiFi can be dodgy, and the shop's a bit limited, but most want to come back.

Family Bothy 1 bedroom cabin (no pets)

Liked Honestly Sherwood Pines was a great location. We took our bikes, balls, tennis rackets and had a fantastic sporty weekend. I’d definitely recommend this place. We stayed in a family bothy ( lodge) and fit all 5 of us which was fantastic. The site was incredibly clean and staff were super friendly.

Disliked Nothing highly recommend

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Excellent friendly staff, very clean facilities.

Disliked Met up with family in Nottingham for a meal, arrived back at the campsite only to find the barriers were locked from 9pm ( I arrived back at 22.30 )

I had to spend my last night in a near by lay-by which wasn’t ideal.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked We were very warmly welcomed, given a choice of pitches and generally looked after. The site facilities were immaculate all weekend. The site itself is beautiful.

Disliked We were quite near the play area and despite a sign saying it closed at 9.30 there were still children on there at well past 10pm.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Quiet and friendly. Small but perfect for a quiet chilled holiday!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Loved the campsite!!! Definitely a new favourite! Loved the cleaniless of the site, pitches of good size, loved the location of our pitch. The bathroom/toilet block was immaculate - so clean and fresh! Lovely warm showers and clean toilets.
The washing up sink area was always clean and plenty of sinks to use so never queued. The water is boiling hot which is superb for washing up cooking dishes and plates etc. wonderful!
Loved how the park is so close to the forest for instant walks on your tent-doorstep! And convenient to walk to a bus stop to Mansfield town.
Overall I would rate this campsite as over 10 stars as it’s one of the best we’ve been to and we do camp ALOT!!!! Would deffo recommend to all our friends and will return again someday soon.

Disliked Nothing to dislike!!!!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked It was a fantastic site. Staff very helpful. Every thing you could want on a camp site. Lovely woodland walks with the dog.
While we were there there was even a van that made fresh pizza to order. I would recommend this site to any one. Will defiantly return for another stay.

Electric gravel and hardstanding pitch

Liked Facilities are excellent, lovely walks, friendly staff

Disliked As usual when tents are on site, you find campers cutting through your pitch to take a short cut which is annoying.
Very busy when we arrived as it was the start of the school holidays so the site was really noisy. Pitches quite small.

Local attractions

Want to explore the forest on two wheels? You won’t need to fret about securing a bicycle rack to your precious car, as Sherwood Pines Cycles (10 minutes’ walk) is right within striking distance. Go Ape Sherwood (10 minutes) is also within walking distance, making it easy to go from lounging on the pitch to gliding down a zipwire and gazing through the leaf canopies. If you’d rather spend your time batting golf balls with gusto, try the Sherwood Forest Golf Club (10 minutes) instead. For one of the area’s most legendary sights, head to The Major Oak (10 minutes’ drive), an ancient tree rumoured to be connected to the legendary Robin Hood. If you still have plenty of energy to expend on some challenging activities, the Adrenalin Jungle Activity Centre (25 minutes) runs activities such as assault courses and paintballing. Finally, should you feel like pausing the activities to take in some important history, The National Holocaust Centre and Museum (20 minutes) is not too far away either.
