Torworth Lakes

View prices & book Last booked 19 hours ago 8.4 97 reviews

One of the spacious hardstanding pitches with water, waste and electricity

Small and serene family-run site with scenic fishing lakes
A 10-minute drive from Retford and 15 minutes from Worksop
Play area, wifi, shop and café; angling and barbecues permitted

Tote your caravan along to the small and secluded family-run site at Torworth Lakes and settle down at a spacious pitch overlooking a selection of lush fishing lakes. Another plus for this park? The location. Close to some of Nottinghamshire’s most-visited attractions, it’s a fab base for touring National Trust sites, historic market towns and kids’ adventure centres. Have a chat with the team about the main spots to visit – the staff here have all sorts of smashing suggestions up their sleeves. You could also ask them about places to eat, but don’t be surprised if they recommend the on-site café, which serves up mouth-watering grub including breakfasts and cakes. There’s also a well-stocked farm shop for grabbing ingredients – think artisan bread, in-season fruit and veg, and locally sourced meat – particularly handy if you’ll be making the most of the fact barbecues are allowed. Fishing is also permitted at this park, so anglers can sit down at purpose-built pegs and have a go at reeling in a variety of carp such as tench, barbel, koi, rudd, roach and orfe. Catch one of the biggest specimens and an award comes in the form of an edible treat. All sorts of caravanning preferences are catered for at this park as a handful of the pitches are enclosed hardstanding options with electric hook-ups, water and waste, while a further few are on grass with electricity and water. Kids have a playground to check out, and wifi is available as well. Please note there's only one toilet and shower on site, so bear this in mind when booking.

Great birthday meal in the onsite cafe/restaurant

Tight fit for wheelchair and step, not ramp

Shower - poor access, impossible for wheelchair

No support rails and small space so no good if assistance needed

Friendly welcoming staff in restaurant, good pre arrival information…

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Friendly welcoming staff in restaurant, good pre arrival information

Disliked: site needs some love/ TLC. Nothing to walk to and pathway to site facilities from pitch flooded so needed to walk back round to main site to use if needed, this should have been communicated upon booking as had no idea of this until tried to walk to them. Food prices were high I feel for what was offered, presented poorly my husband’s scampi meal looked like a school dinner! Site lights bollards not working so really run down looking site. Have stayed in the past before so know it has declined. Less stock in the boutique/shop etc also. Also on a busy road do very noisy

Kat b. Feb 2025

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The area found some nice places to eat and the farmers market. On site restaurant and shop were lovely and the staff couldn’t do enough.

Disliked: Very poor lighting at entrance, post lights on the track weren’t working, no pitch light so had to use car headlights to see, no lit directions to pitches, no staff on site. Pitch dirty and obviously not checked after last guest, it had a pile of cigarette ends on it. Nightmare getting in and out of gates when closed. Needs electric barriers. Too top off it off got a text on Saturday saying if anyone is seen turning up the grass due to the wet weather then you will be charged to your debit card. Maybe if there was adequate lighting it might help?!?! Wouldn’t return unless improvements are made. I have made a direct review to the site but this hasn’t been acknowledged which is poor!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: We enjoyed walks around the lakes it was so nice an relaxing.
The kids liked playing on the park.
It's great that your pitch has everything you need (elec, water and waste)

Disliked: The lights are broken so there is no lighting on the site so once it's dark you have to use touch light to be able to see

It says includes free WiFi but it doesn't reach upto the pitches
