Had a wet weekend at Clumber park. If you like to be cut off from the world and walk and cycle it the place to go. The wardens are very helpful and the toilet block as expected warm and clean. If you want to use your phone (No signal at all) If you want to watch your TV take a cable that will reach between your van and the power connecting post otherwise (No signal). There is not a pub within walking distance. I must admit it was a wet weekend had it been warm and dry it would have been better, but not for me.
Wardens helpfulness
We are regulars at Clumber Park as it is convenient and an ideal location for us and particularly for our grandson to play, cycle etc. The setting is perfect for off-road cycling, exploring, walking/jogging and the Clumber Park centre is always worth a visit. We acknowledge that the internet and telephone signals are pretty poor but we like the site despite these drawbacks.
I wanted to just acknowledge how helpful the Wardens are generally but specifically on our latest visit when I had locked my bike in the bike shed and then managed to lose the key to unlock the security cable. Although the wardens were busy they went out of their way to resolve my problem and thereby enable us to enjoy a family day out which would otherwise have been spoiled.

Great site if you want to be cut off from the outside world
First time at this site and it is in a beautiful location. It’s easy to get to and has wonderful adjacent woodland walks, which was great for giving my dogs a good run. The place was very busy with children, which I don’t mind too much except they rode their bikes in between pitches. The adults regularly walked across your pitch space too, which wasn’t very considerate. My biggest complaint though was the complete lack of phone signal (or any signal for SIM card devices). We ended up spending money buying annual CAMC WiFi access only to find it worked intermittently, if at all. I pay for mobile WiFi to ensure I have internet access while away, but there is ZERO signal. The TV signal was really poor too. I am self-employed and can’t afford to go somewhere with no phone signal or good internet access - I lost business while I was away!! If there is no mobile device connection, it should be stated clearly within the Facilities section on the site information. Not adding something so important (AVOIDING) has made me question the openness and honesty of CAMC. I doubt I’ll ever go back to Clumber Park as it’s not suitable for anyone who needs 24-hour access to their clients and family. It’s a shame because it was lovely there.

Good location
Can’t fault location, great for dog walking or cycling as Clumber Park has masses of trails. This is my 4th visit here. Facilities great, generally clean and staff are friendly. As with previous review, pitch space constantly invaded and had one girl ride her bike into the MoHo fortunately no damage. So I guess choose your pitch wisely and perhaps visit when schools not on holiday. Saying that, there was no noise on an evening or early morning, always enjoy my time at Clumber and will be back. Pizza van is a must and definitely, definitely walk over to Clumber Park itself via the trail.
overnight stay
A lovely location well maintained site with off site dog walks through woodlands.
The stay was marred by the inconsiderate attitudes of a few, allowing their dogs to run loose on site and the lack of respect the personal space of fellow visitors by walking ( including a young boy accompanied by parents riding his bike at speed) though pitch space and in some instances under our pull out awning.
Well worth a visit
Poor signage for the site until within 100 metres.
Well kept and maintained site.
Weekend visit and many children on site – no obtrusive noise from them during day or night.
Barrier access.
Feels an open aspect to drive around to find a pitch.
Adequate and easy turning space for all vehicles.
Two toilet blocks.
Easy Motorhome waste (grey) water disposal over mesh grates.
Mobile Food vans regularly visit (Fish and Chips extremely good !) and newspapers can be ordered.
Off-lead dog walking is abundant in the surrounding woods and Park.
Quiet at night.
Poor Wifi signal.

Second visit
This was our second visit to this site the first being last September out of school hols. This time we stopped for 1 night at the beginning of bank holiday weekend. Glad it was only for 1 night as site almost full which I have no problem with apart from unsupervised children bombing around on bikes from all directions which makes manouvering around site a little hazardous. My other gripe is dog owners who appear to consider dogs on leads does not apply to them. The first thing greeting me as I opened my motorhome door "a dog". Please dog owners observe the rules not everyone is comfortable with loose dogs.
Wonderful site; wonderful staff; wonderful weekend
First time stay at Clumber Park and had a super weekend.
Staff were very friendly and helpful and the site was lovely, clean and tidy.
Just loved it.
Pitches were well spaced and you would not know it was such a big site if you hadn't seen the map.
Will definately visit again

First Time Visit
This was my first time towing got there fine the receptionist on arriving was really friendly and helpful. Picked my pitch and all was good the grounds and facilities were top class the campsite was really peaceful. Prepared to leave the next morning and couldn’t for the life of me get the detachable Witter tow bar to attach. One of the staff kindly tried to help but failed also, as there is no mobile single they let me use their phone to ring the AA who also couldn’t attach told me the tow bar was broken, the staff were really accommodating and not once did I feel they were in any rush to get me off the site. Anyway got home quick search online shows you how to reset the tow bar and all was well to fetch the van. It might be a good idea for anyone new to towing to watch the reset tow bar video before your next trip to save a little stress. Thank you Clumber staff for your all your help. Will definetly be back.
