Our local site
Stoped at Clumber for 3 nights end of the first week in March to try out the Motorhome we had just picked up. We have stayed here a lot with our caravan over the years, as it was nice and local for setting up the van (kept in storage) before a tour. Clumber is a very pleasant site set towards the northern edge of the park. It is generally fairly quiet during the week, except at holiday times, but fills up to capacity at weekends. Great for walking or cycling in the park. The visitor facilities are set part way down the large lake, a circular walk around which is between 5 and 6 miles from the site, depending on the exact route. Sherwood Forest Visitors Centre, now in the newly constructed building run by the RSPB, is about a 6 mile drive. There is no mobile coverage on the site and indeed over much of the park. However, a 200m walk up Limetree Avenue, towards the 614 will get you a 3 / 4G signal on O2. The site Broadband is much improved. Although it will undoubtedly struggle on summer weekends, at full winter capacity I was still getting 6 / 8MB most of the time. The facilities are kept to the normal high standards, although the showers are not the most user friendly, having only a narrow perch to sit on. The MH service point was the old style, although the manhole covers were fairly easy to extract, even for my back. However, apparently they are putting in the drive over ones this week.
