Great CL

Park Farm
This CL is a great find just off the M1 with stunning views across the valley. The owner is very welcoming, friendly and helpfull. The site is beautifully kept. There is a small charge for electricity. WiFi is free. We will certainly use it again.

A gem of a site

Park Farm
Although this was only 35 minutes from our home, we explored an area of Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire unfamiliar to us and what a treat! The site has views across to East Midlands Airport but is completely open with an abundance of wild life. We saw hares, and a small herd of deer galloped to within 30 metres of our van. It is next to a working arable farm and a farriers so there were comings and goings of horses immediately behind us but nothing to cause disturbance. The walks from the site are numerous. We walked through the fields to the pub at Stanton le Dale, looking through gaps in the hedge to discover a vista of Nottingham the first evening; walked for coffee at the Cow Shed and then on to Dale Abbey which is a lovely little village on the Saturday and on Sunday we drove to Ockbrook (but it is walking distance) where there is another deli/coffee shop, an interesting Moravian Settlement and plenty of walks from there. In fact there are footpaths everywhere. The owner is most welcoming, keeps his site immaculate and we can't recommend it enough.

Great location, very welcoming

Park Farm

This was my first ever CL experience and couldn't fault it in any way. The views are amazing and it is generally a very tranquil spot although the Download Festival at nearby Donington Park was in full swing when I arrived! I had a mishap with the tow hitch electrical socket on the car as I was leaving, and I thought I'd have to leave my outfit there for several days until I could get the car fixed, and was resigned to a lengthy round trip to collect into the bargain, but the site owner rang round on my behalf and found a local repair shop who got me fixed that afternoon and I was home before dark. Amazing. Thank you so much!

A Very Special CL

Park Farm
We spent three nights here in February. The views from the site can only be described as stunning, including at night time. There are some really nice circular walks from the site with pubs and a cafe a short distance away. Lots of wildlife in the surrounding fields and woodland. You will need levellers or blocks as the site is not flat but Mr Fogg, the owner, is very helpful with advice and practical assistance. It is well worth the effort. Easy access to both Nottingham and Derby. The M1 is not far away but not intrusive. Hopefully will be back sometime.

Excellent location and relaxed stay.

Park Farm
We stayed at this site for three nights during September 2022 but very nearly made the biggest mistake of our motor homing experiences so far. We booked a few days before we arrived but had read a few previous reviews which suggested the pitches were not marked. When we arrived it looked initially as if there were no spaces so we decided to move on, As we were leaving the farm yard the owner approached and spoke to us. Having explained our concern regarding the pitches he encouraged us to have another look and showed us an area we could pitch. How glad we were. What a fabulous location with countryside views to die for. We have two dogs and the owner said we could walk where every we wanted to, bearing mind the horses. There were public footpaths with access from the pitches across beautiful fields. We sat and watched horses, deer and birds of prey. All the facilities were suitable, either in the field along the wall or, as in the case of toilet disposal outside the stables in the adjacent yard. The owner was very friendly and helpful and we would stay again.
