Great site - we have visited a number of times through the years and the upgraded facilities are really good, especially the toilet blocks which can now be cleaned without closing them. Brilliant play park with good quality equipment and a separate enclosed footy pitch. Excellent dog walk.
I would echo the comments of other members re the WiFi - we stay on CLs and small commercial sites where WiFi is free and at a standard which allows streaming without constantly dropping out. The CAMC charges top dollar for pitches but the WiFi service across the Club network does not reflect these charges when compared to what is on offer elsewhere.
This is less of an issue where there is good phone coverage but at Clumber it is a real issue. A free log in for 2 devices linked to a broadcast system that is fit for purpose would be a start!
We managed with the free WiFi because we were opposite one of the masts, but we had issues at Trewethit Farm site in Cornwall where we not so close to a mast and phone coverage was poor.
The washing machines were out of action and we needed them - instead we went to Rick's Launderette in Retford. He does the wash and you get back a bag of clean and folded laundry the same day. He also does duvets! Recommended!
The bottom line is that it is in a great area particulary for walking, but it seemed easier to get into France and then the UK as it was to check in here.
You need to show your membership card (that are not supplied anymore) so you need to show it on the app (but I don't use the app) My partner has the app (but there is no phone signal) but apparantly you need to take a screenshot of your membership card before you arrive. No, I'm not joking!! I've booked it through my account, its all paid for, they know my car registration but non of this is enough.
Some staff are friendly and some not so much. The anwser to the terrible wifi is to charge you for premium wifi, come on guys if there is no phone signal, limited tv signal, terrible standard wifi then stop profiteering from members and make the premium wifi free.
This site was so clean and tidy. It has been a while since i stepped into communal facilities. We have been using our own since covid.
However i thought as i was paying for the service , why not!
I was so surprised at the clean spacious free showers, private sinks and toilets. i took full advantage , having a shower every day, due to the hot weather.
People were so friendly , not stuck with their noses in phones, that is all to common these days. I actually had conversations, relaxed and took in the beautiful scenery.
#Great off site dog walk , that circles around the camp site, on site shop, which was very handy. People that like fast food , there are the usual chains a few miles away , plus visiting food vendors at the weekends.
Clumber park , National Trust, is a few miles away . there are cycle routes, safe for children along the way. NT admission does apply, but you can benefit from the surrounding area, if you do not want to enter.
Although thius site hasnt got Mobile signal and poor Wifi its workable. However what I find amazing is the have a Smiths fish and chip van every friday which to be fair are good, but when you go 40 mins before 7:30pm to be told they have no fish only sausage is laughable. Sometimes its not always doable to get on site before 5:30 when I guess they have fish but all I would say is be prepared and take enough food to cover Smiths Fish and chip vans poor planning.
This was our first visit to Clumber Park and we used it as an overnight stop on our way home. However our experience here was so good and the site in such a brilliant location with so much to do, that we will definitely return for several days. The layout allowed lots of space between pitches, the facilities were spotless and the general feel was very friendly. Thank you
Beware! Clumber is an excellent site with great staff, but many dogs and their selfish owners mar it. Most appear not to see the issue with leaving their dog tied up outside and left to go crazy every time somebody walks past. If you don't mind being surrounded by barking dogs, you'll have no problem, but this site might not be for you if you prefer peace.
We had a very pleasant stay at Clumber Park. Excellent dog walking facilities - many miles of walking throughout Clumber Park straight from the site. You could stay near the perimeter where it is quieter or you could head towards the lake and main section for a coffee and a bite to eat. There are a variety of cycle routes around the park. Not far away is Sherwood Forest with the Major Oak, if you are a cyclist there are some fun routes at Sherwood Pines.
The staff were very approachable and informative. The facilities were excellent.
There is no mobile signal but there is free WiFi.
First time at Clumber park caravan site and won't be out last, the team were polite and friendly from the off the site was well kept.with large well spaced out pitches so you didn't feel like you were on top of each other, the facilities were clean and to a good standard, We were aware there was no phone or WiFi signal so this didn't bother us, and the clubs free WiFi was all we needed just to read a few emails.
Just back from site visit. Found staff very helpfull and witnissed a staff member helping a caravan newbie to get their water pump working. Most site staff especially national trust camping site staff would not have bothered.
Dont understand comment about no site wifi I connected to site system both free and premium found both adequate. Yes no cellphone signals but thats made clear on website but thats because National Trust who control the area wont allow a phone mast because of outdated planning ideas.
No TV signal maybe but all electric hookup bollards have tv plug in points to site system so found adequate.
WCs etc good standard and clean so no complaints.
Fees could be lower but all sites are now more expensive so this site is average cost compaired to both similar club and private sites.
