Clumber Park

Just returned from a couple of nights at Clumber Park Nice site Nice location Just a couple of gripes People walking inches away from our caravan to use as a short cut A very large 5 Wheeler on the next pitch to us switched on a very powerfull and bright light all night long on both nights so it never got dark in our caravan so if your going to clumber look out for it and avoid pltching next to it we would have moved if we were staying longer

Not as advertised

I chose this site because of position, facilities and the fact that it advertises additional cars at £2 each. This was very important as 2 of our party were arriving seperately in their own car containing very expensive musical instruments. On arrival, I was told that no additional vehicles are allowed on site at any cost and the warden was stubbornly resistant even though I explained that “additional vehicles at £2 each” is advertised on the sites web page. He just said that the information provided is incorrect. My friends had to leave their vehicle outside the barriers overnight which put me in a very difficult position as I had promised them otherwise.

Couple of nights whilst passing

2 nights end Sept. This was our 2nd visit to the site, the last one being over 5 years ago !! The site was reasonably empty when we arrived and were quickly checked in. It is clean and well maintained and very peaceful and quiet. The walks around Clumber Park were fantastic as the Autumn sun was shining. The only gripe I have is that there is no phone signal, I appreciate it not the be all and end all but being contactable is a must. I used the on site Wi-Fi but to be honest it would have been quicker sending a carrier pigeon with my messages as the signal was so slow and I was actually pitched next to one of the masts !. All in all though a very enjoyable stay for a couple of nights to break up our journey. So C&MH club please take note and spend a few quid upgrading your technology.

Lovely site, shame about the wardens!

This site is a great location, so pretty just a shame about the wardens! I arrived and pulled up not blocking the road, I was in the arrivals area and the caravan in front of me moved as I was walking to check in, I had to go back to my car and move my outfit forward before the warden would even consider checking me in. Yes I am sure the wardens will respond to say it was a busy weekend but no one else was there!! I visited this site with friends who have children. It was important we were pitched together but despite offering to even pay for my friends pitch we were not able to park together as we didn't arrive together. We came from different areas of the country . The wardens suggestion was I wait 5 hours in the late night arrivals until my friends arrived!!!! I think not! I wasn't worried where the pitches were, just needed to be together and I really don't consider that much to ask. I am afraid these wardens totally forget who the customer is. Toilet cleaning was crazily early when people wanted showers leaving people to que in the other block. I am in my second year of caravan club membership having visited a lot of lovely sites! This is the first negative review because this place seriously got my back up. All in all lovely location ruined by unhelpful wardens!

Away from it all

If you want a quiet side away from it all then Clumber is for you. Miles from anywhere and good if you want walking or cycling. However you would be lost if your had a Motorhome and did not wish to move it during your stay. The Wardens are brilliant but this appear to apply to all site of The Caravan & Motorhome Club. (Can we please use letters only as this is such a mouthful, C&MC is a lot easier).

Lovely site lovely people

Stayed at this site in July, arrived a day late after a disastrous start to our holiday. The staff could not have been more kind and helpful. The site is lovely and our two German Shepherds just loved their woodland walks, dog heaven. We will definately go back. Thank you for a fab stay.

Dog heaven

As dog owners, Clumber Park is one of our favourite sites. You can walk out of the site at four or five points on the site boundary into the surrounding woodland and walk for as long as you want to, rarely having to cross roads and those you do have to cross rarely have much if any traffic on them. A great new addition to the site on our latest visit was an outside shower for dogs ( or for bikes or muddy boots ). Great idea which hopefully will be replicated at other club sites.

Great campsite

Really good campsite in the beautiful location of Clumber Park. Great for dog walking/cycling. Clean facilities and TV booster on the electric hook up. No phone signal here but didn't really bother us. Would recommend.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE 12 O'CLOCK ARRIVAL RULE?????

Returned from another great weekend at Clumber with our grand-daughter. We have been staying on this site for more than 20 years, even before it was expanded, and we stay there several times each year. This is an excellent site for families as you can let the children play knowing that they are safe - set area limits for them to stop them wandering off though! The woods are a dogs paradise. The facilities are looking tired, but are always kept clean. The Team of wardens is new this year, and they are all very friendly and do a good job. However, our first ever and only complaint would be that they let new arrivals onto the site far too early - as early as 10am on one morning. We were ready to leave on Sunday, and were hitching up around 11.45am, when a new arrival drove up to us. We moved the car out of the way so that he could pass, but he just waved his arms and shouted out of the window that he wanted "THAT" pitch. He parked very closely to us, made us feel uncomfortable and under pressure to move. We had still to get our grand-daughter into the car, as it was a warm day and we didn't want her to be inside for too long. In the end, we hitched up, and I moved the car and caravan away from the pitch, and parked up near to the toilet block so that we could do our final checks and so that my husband and grand-daughter could get into the car. We have experienced frustration at times when arriving early at a site and having to wait (or in the case of Chatsworth arriving five minutes early and being told to drive away and come back!), and it is sometimes difficult to arrive at exactly the right time, but the 12 noon arrival is in place for a reason and should be observed. The "other" caravanning club actually has an hour between the departure and arrival time, which makes moving around the site much safer and less pressurised. We have several more trips planned during the rest of this year, and we love the site, but this time it seemed chaotic.
