  • Wild camping with perks in woodland 40 minutes’ drive from Nottingham
  • Newark-on-Trent 15 minutes’ drive; Skylarks Nature Reserve 25 minutes
  • Wood-fired hot tub, dog park and communal kitchen on site
You don’t have to be able to extricate yourself from a tortuous maze to stay at The Labyrinth Woodland. This small, remote site with grass pitches is in nine acres of woodland in the Nottinghamshire section of the Vale of Belvoir, about 40 minutes’ drive from Nottingham. This is wild camping, but with a large handful of excellent perks. Yes, the toilets are of the portable kind, but the shower (in an environmentally friendly roofless cabin in the middle of the forest) could easily be found in a glamping set-up. Then there are communal areas – from the outdoor kitchen, which has a camping gas cooker and washing-up facilities (with hot water), to the campfire area, where you can help yourself to wood that has already been chopped for you. Last but by no means least, you can have a soak in the wood-fired hot tub (for which there is an additional charge). Squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, deer and birds call these woods home, so keep your eyes peeled to see what wildlife you might spot. Your four-legged buddy should be kept on a lead at all times, but there is a private and secure dog park on site. Other good destinations for a dog-friendly walk are the banks of Kilvington Lakes (15 minutes’ walk) and the Linear Walk (15 minutes’ drive), which follows the path of a former railway line. Other local activities include fishing at Belvoir Waters or Portland Fishing Lakes (five minutes) and birdwatching at Skylarks Nature Reserve (25 minutes), an area of wetlands and grasslands.

A serene, off-grid woodland getaway with ample pitches and friendly hosts. Guests rave about the peace, wildlife, and great facilities like hot tubs and an outdoor shower. While some facilities are basic, upgrades are planned. Highly recommended for nature lovers seeking relaxation.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Awesome little site with super friendly host.
Thank you Dave, all the best for future seasons!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for booking at the Labyrinthwoodland.

The photo over neighbouring Kilvington lakes does say it all for us in our first season. And as the sunsets on the consistent positive feedback I want to thank you and every other booking of the happiness the positive feedbacks have given us.

Thankyou and every other visitor.

In relation to the portable toilets the Dunny is in operation. And our off grid experience has brought a lot of people to our peaceful place.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch (members only)

Liked Great site , very quiet , pitches were really good size, quirky little site, with some lovely little places to wander around and explore in the woods.
Dave the owner is very welcoming .
Will definitely come again .

Disliked Nothing disliked, just maybe needs abit more signage, better sign on the main road highlighting the entrance, also which field tents go on and where the dog walk is🐕

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.

It’s the 20 the week as we run down to the end of the season and it’s been a massive positive overall.

Signage - all in hand with a site map being done as we speak.

Signage on the main gate has sufficed the last 20 weeks and we ask all customers to use what3words. However understandably a good idea but comes with a cost.

Trying to keep the site off grid and basic and all the feedback confirms we are not far off.

As agreed I will review end of season and amend changes needed including the infamous dunny as promised.

Many thanks for your visit and kind words

Bell tent

Liked Recently had a 2 night getaway in the bell tent, with my best friend.
We felt immersed in nature whilst having the luxuries of a beautiful bell tent, hot tub and the best outdoor shower I’ve ever had.
Dave was enthusiastic and attentive. Very welcoming and we chatted about his future plans for the site. All sound amazing. We will be returning soon.

Bell tent

Liked Fantastic setting and true to owners description. Lots of thoughtful additions and Dave couldn't have been more helpful. Hot-tub great, shower great, open space in a unique setting. Battery power also supplied which was a bonus. The kitchen area is also excellent with a gas bbq provided for basic cooking.

Disliked Nothing

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Very quiet, with only a few slots available you need to be on the ball for booking, however not a negative is you like your piece and quiet. The camp site is relatively new and I can see the effort put in to it getting going. The owner being friendly and sociable , least I forget knowledgable about the local area. Lets be up front , its a new site and the facilities are a work in progress, we had tents not a camper and the showers where a little to exposed but like I said a work in progress with the managment open to input. Its a basic experience which is refreshing and although I like facilities it lets you appreciate what you have. The pitches are large and unlimited according to the site advert the toilet facilities are adaquate , how ever the fresh water outlet was on the othe side of the area amongst the other pitches. There is facilities for dogs with a run and an area that can be closed off but doubles as a staging areafor the owner. Now I like to roam and to the right of the entrance gate is access via a public foot path, this leads to a largish lakes with walks that encompass it. The locals are nice and friendly but you have to be aware that the lake is a wild reserve and not for recreation. The wild fowl do not seem to interested in acoustic guitar playing as I found out. All in all I enjoyed the stay and facilities and look forward to returing. Now the owner is working hard to create facilities for a charity to allow specific individuals to enjoy a resprite, a very noble and charitable cause, any donations of any sort will be appreciated by all who will end up using the facities something to consider , pass it on friends.

Disliked As i have no experience in creating a campsite or managing one please take my opinions with consideration. Firstly another toilet to prevent use of the one dedicated for the bell tent, and an alternative hot tub for use by those not staying at the bell tent retreat would possibly be a bonus down the road. The showers really need to be nore privatly secure. Be aware there is not Wifi or signal for phones and I think a device dedicated to gaining access would have issues.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Very quiet, peaceful location with lots of options for walks straight from the site and a secure dog walking area on the site itself.

Pitches are very large and well spaced.

Excellent communication from the site owner.

Disliked Very much a “work in progress” site which is still in its first season, toilet facilities in particular could do with an upgrade…

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry for delay and glad your overall stay is good at the labyrinth.

I’ve addressed internal gate exiting issue with additional system and installed a Dunny near to pitches.

In relation to work in progress it certainly is but I’m
Overly pleased that all campers enjoy the off grid experience and woodland surroundings.

Safe camping to all users,

Rose

Local attractions

In Newark-on-Trent (15 minutes’ drive), you can admire the ruins of the medieval castle (where King John met his maker) from the riverside path, before continuing on to a large pointy sundial and the Newark Trent Weir. On the outskirts of town is the Newark Air Museum, with its collection of aircraft and engines. In addition to opulent rooms (such as the Elizabeth Saloon, with its gilded decoration), Belvoir Castle (15 minutes) has splendid outside areas like the Japanese gardens, dotted with colourful camellias and rhododendrons. Meanwhile, kids might enjoy a petting session at the animal park (open seasonally), with sheep and goats. Practise your best archery stance so that you can take a suitably dramatic picture next to the Robin Hood Statue when in Nottingham (40 minutes). Then climb up to Nottingham Castle, an elegant mansion built on the remains of an 11th-century fortress, or book yourself on to a cruise along the River Trent.
