Another good weekend here

We come a couple of times a year with grandchildren and the dog and always enjoy the site .There are a couple of bug bears the playground can get very noisy on holidays and weekends until late at night , parents let the children shout until 10 or 11 o'clock at night even on cold dark nights so I don't recommend staying too near the play area, and the showers ate ready for an upgrade but all in all a very good site

Picturesque site but ….

This is a picturesque site surrounded by woodland. It is generally quiet at this time of year with the exception of weekends. The site is well looked after by the wardens. Unlike some other people on site I found the toilet block keypads quite easy to use compared to certain other CC sites. One of the downsides is that despite the wi-fi rating being bronze we could not access it at all, considering this with the fact that there is no mobile signal either we had to go offsite to use our phones. Also the toilet/shower block we used, whilst it was always clean, was a little past its sell by date and one cubicle was closed off as the shower unit was coming away from the wall. Lastly being dog owners we were concerned to see the notices on the toilet block doors stating the following: - “In recent years, during autumn, several dogs walked in woodlands suddenly became ill. In some cases, unfortunately dogs did not recover. Cases of this illness, named Seasonal Canine Illness (SCI) are usually seen from August to November. Please seek immediate advice from your vet if you are concerned about your dog.” Whilst the surrounding woods were ideal for dogs we would not risk our dogs unlike many others who did.

Visitors Centre Off Limits

Having visited Clumber Park on many previous occasions, we were astounded on our last visit to find that the National Trust have started charging 'per person' for access by car to the visitor centre. On previous occasions there has been an agreement that on production of the campsite receipt the entry fee was waived. Now it is prohibitive for us to go on a regular basis for lunch at the café in the visitor centre. So please be aware that there is not the freedom as in previous times. Everything about the actual campsite is as good as it ever was, although the gents showers are still rather more cramped than the ladies.

Stopover

Only stopped one night seems a nice site wardens lovely we arrived late afternoon and it was no bother. Only off putting thing was tiolets locked with a code and signs saying beware thieves operating in this area! Never experienced that at any other site we have stayed . But read the other reviews it does not seem to worry anyone.

Excellent site

Top marks, no complaints. Great for cycling and walking. Friendly wardens. There is plenty of advance warning that the phone & wifi are next to useless - didn't bother us. I still don't like this "drive around 'til you find a pitch" lark, on Friday evening there was a continuous procession of traffic, some units passing by three times. But a real gem of a site.

Great site

Great site, very clean and warm facilities. The wardens were very welcoming a vast improvement from our last visit a few years ago. Perfect for walking and the fact you can't get mobile signal it means we get to completely relax in the peaceful site! The fish and chip and pizza vans at weekend mean you don't even need to cook if you don't want! Although shop prices are too pricey when there is a Tesco down the road.

Rubber bottles!

Very pleasant week at Clumber Park. Nice and tidy, BUT....... would people who buy wine in rubber bottles please throw them in the bottle recycling bins as hard and noisily as you want to. People who buy wine in glass bottles please put them in the bin quietly before 9.30am as the crashing sound wakes us old fogies, (mainstays of the club during the week) too early. No reception at all on any of our three mobile phones anywhere on site. Yes, old fogies with three phones! We did see BT Openreach laying cables into the site. does this bode well for future phone reception? We will return.

Overnight Stop

warm welcome by friendly wardens, Clean facilities, very poor to none existent wifi signal not worth £2.50 per day fee. Ideal midweek stop over as close to A1 with easy access.

Very Nice Site.

Just had a week at Clumber Park whilst visiting family locally. Very nice site in beautiful setting, particularly if you like to see squirrels! Very quiet in the week but fills up at the week-end with families. Excellent site for families with nice play area and lots of parkland for walks or bike rides. All the children were very well behaved, and it was nice and quiet in the evenings. However, lack of any phone signal and virtually non-existent Wi-Fi is a major downside these days, but maybe that will be addressed eventually.
