Why stay here ...
A great feeling of spaciousness can be found at Clumber Park Club Site, which is settled on 20 acres within a generous 4,000 acres of lush parkland, where you can walk, cycle or ride. The caravan site has a popular play area and enjoys an attractive setting surrounded by woodland. Children will enjoy Clumber Park as it is part of what was once Sherwood Forest and the reminders of the area's most famous resident, Robin Hood are plentiful. Clumber Park was once the estate of the Dukes of Newcastle, and is now owned by the National Trust. The house was demolished in 1938 but there is still evidence of the historic buildings that once stood to be explored.
The Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre is a mere 10 miles from Clumber Park Club Site and offers many attractions to entertain and educate about this legendary figure. The Major Oak is a must as it is said that he had hidden here, along with his merry men. The Clumber Park food festival, held in the heart of the forest, is a great opportunity to experience culinary delights and sample local beverages. The city of Nottingham is within easy reach of the caravan park.

Interesting peaceful clean
Title says it all really. Entrance to Clumber Park through the stone arch has a real wow factor. Site staff welcomed us with open arms and made us feel at home. The site is in woodland with alot of trees in and around the site, for us it gave an extra level of charm. The site is quite large with some pitches needing a fairly lengthly 5mph (or under) drive around site to reach. Our grass pitch was nice and firm (no sinking into the grass) and slightly sloping requiring ramps but nothing extreme. We arrived on 'Pizza night' but didn't take advantage, we were just too happy relaxing in the sunshine! Facilities were all incredibly clean and well maintained. Everything worked perfectly including the tv aerial plug in thingy - it saved the day for us! Location is excellent and felt quite rural with no road noise at all. Only minor gripe (not the sites fault) was that the Club Garmin sat-nav tried to take us on the wrong approach along a very small road with a closed gate blocking access. It took us a while to work out the correct access route but clearly we did work it out as we booked in! So book in here for a great site with character in a woodland setting with peace and quiet. P.S. this site felt very well organised for covid safety with hand sanitisers galore, rubber band system at toilets (no showers on this visit, closed due to covid restrictions) which is now standard across all club sites plus enhanced facility cleaning which we thank all staff members for doing so well.
Re Conkered
My wife has just pointed out that it was ACORNS raining down on us during the night and they come from OAK TREES !!
Conkered
Often used by us as an overnight stop when travelling north or south. Well up to CC standards. Very lively during weekends and school holidays, great to see young people having fun but watch out for gangs on bikes and scooters. TIP: If visiting in the Autumn avoid pitching under one of the many horse chestnut trees unless you are a very heavy sleeper.
Fantastic site in many ways
We had 3 nights here in September and had a wonderful time. The site is large & spacious with a good selection of pitches. The facilities are very good and always clean, as you would expect. There is an exceptionally good play park for the children in the centre of the site. The staff were very helpful and engaging. The location is perfect for walking and cycling in Clumber Park. Phone signals are extremely poor on the site and we had to walk for up to a mile to get a signal. The walk to Hardwick village and then around the Clumber Lake is well worth it with refreshments at the lake edge in Hardwick Village and half way around at the NT visitor centre.
3rd visit to site
We came back from Clumber last weekend and had a lovely relaxing weekend as usual, with some biking thrown in and we will come back again but probably next year now.
No, it isn't the most up to date site, but it is in an amazing setting. Some pitches are in need of upgrading and the toilet blocks are not as up to date as some sites, but nevertheless they are clean and very functional. This does not stop us returning to the site. The food vans on site are a nice touch, albeit a little expensive.
What I am saddened by though, is irresponsible dog owners allowing their pets foul on the road or grass and not picking it up. I read this on a review recently before returning to site and was disappointed to see it myself, first hand. Clearly, from speaking to staff, this is an ongoing problem. It isn't the animals fault but the owners and isn't acceptable by any means. Shame on those people for their laziness and lack of respect towards other users. The staff sorted this out however and removed the dog fowl straight away.
Cannot fault the staff - always friendly and helpful, despite what they have to deal with.
