  • 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 popular, well-kept campsite in a beautiful forest setting, perfect for walks and cycling. Guests love the friendly staff, clean facilities, and big pitches. Direct access to Sherwood Pines and Go Ape are big pluses. Mostly quiet, but occasional noise from kids and bikes, especially during busy periods. WiFi can be spotty, and some found it pricey. Great for families and nature lovers.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We had another fantastic stay (our 3rd time) at Sherwood Pines Campsite. One of the best things was how easy it was to walk straight into the forest, making it perfect for exploring and enjoying nature with our Spaniel.
Even though the campsite was quite busy during our visit, it was never noisy and had a really relaxed atmosphere. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, and the facilities were kept very clean throughout our stay. The showers were excellent too, with plenty of hot water and good pressure.
A great bonus was the chip van on site on saturday night, which was very handy after a day out walking.
Overall, a well-run campsite in a brilliant location. We'd definitely stay again

Disliked Maybe, better stocked shop with local produce

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.
