Review: CAMC Clumber Park Campsite – A Woodland Escape in Nottinghamshire

Nestled in the heart of Nottinghamshire, Clumber Park Campsite is a popular stop for members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club. In this Clumber Park Campsite review, we’ll explore the facilities, location, and overall experience, helping you decide whether it’s worth adding to your travel plans.

Set within a former country estate, the campsite offers a tranquil woodland setting. Spacious pitches are well laid out, providing both privacy and easy access for larger motorhomes. Hardstanding and grass pitches are available, and hook-up options cater to most needs. What stands out here is the sheer sense of space – you don’t feel hemmed in, even at busier times of the year.

Facilities are to CAMC’s typically high standard. The shower and toilet blocks are modern and spotless, and you’ll find a well-equipped service point for water, waste disposal, and chemical toilet emptying. There’s also a small shop on-site for essentials, plus a children’s play area, making it family friendly.

For dog owners, the surrounding National Trust parkland is a huge bonus. Miles of walking and cycling trails spread out directly from the site, perfect for stretching your legs without needing to move the van. Clumber Lake is a highlight, offering peaceful waterside strolls and excellent wildlife watching opportunities.

The location also puts you within easy reach of Sherwood Forest, with its famous Major Oak, and historic Lincoln is just under an hour’s drive away. However, it’s worth noting that public transport links are limited, so a car, motorbike, or pedal bike is helpful for exploring further afield.

One downside? The site’s popularity can mean booking well in advance, especially in peak summer months. Prices are typical of CAMC sites, so not the cheapest, but the quality and setting make it worthwhile.

Verdict: Clumber Park Campsite offers a perfect balance of nature, tranquillity, and well-kept facilities. If you’re seeking a woodland escape with plenty of walking opportunities straight from your pitch, this site ticks the box.
