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.

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.
Fabulous location.
A great site for those who want to walk from the door. Despite the size of the site and the popularity of the surrounding area, there's enough space for everyone to find peace and quiet and enjoy the trees and heathland. Facilities were clean and staff clearly trying to maintain a good standard of Covid control. Have booked again already.
