Fantastic.....but!

In total agreement with the previous two reviews. My wife stayed alone (mostly) on site. Wardens were excellent and really helpful in finding a pitch where we could park to the right to assist with her disability. Three weeks of peace and quiet only spoiled by the apparent travellers who occupied a couple of pitches. Their children were unruly to say the least and seemed intent on destroying all the hard work of the wardens. A group were discovered in the shower block, scribbling on the walls with pencil! luckily, a warden was nearby and the vandalism was reported quickly. Even if they are fully paid up members, anyone found damaging sites or property, or causing the disruption and upset they do, should have their membership cancelled with immediate effect. I know it's difficult to expect the wardens to confront such types, but I would surely hope they have reported these 'visitors' to the Club. Other than that, a perfect break. Thanks.

Perfect autumn & winter site

We only ever stay at clumber park during autumn and winter as we find it can be very busy with children during half term and summer months and we prefer more quiet sites. During autumn and winter it is peaceful and quiet yet the facilities remain in excellent order. The site is perfect for families as it has a large play area and you are able to go off into clumber park directly from the site. There is an abundance of dog walking and nature trails close by and there are lots of places to eat nearby. The wardens are always friendly and they work really hard to keep the site clean and tidy.  Overall, it is a pleasure to stay here whether as a couple or a family.

Breathe deeply and relax.

Second visit the Clumber 9th to 16th November and this time we really enjoyed it. Last time we lost a member of the family and it was a sad visit. This time we were greeted warmly by the wardens, got sited and settled down fo a weeks total relaxation, mostly reading with long long walks everyday. It got really busy over the weekend. Surprised to see two monster vans arriving (travellers) with very noisy children (7) who roamed the site screaming at the top of their voices. The wardens attempted to control things but there was little evidence of parental supervision. We were out walking everyday and followed the NT cycle paths that take you all around the estate and lake area. Thorsby Hall is a beautiful spot to visit and has a shop selling Indian Whiskey and some very nice gins that the owner will gladly share with you. The site itself is mostly okay but I agree with the comments about the hard standings. They all need a good raking. Where awnings have stood there is usually a dip where the stones have moved and its gets muddy. The toilet block (only 1 was open) needs some tlc. The wardens kept it clean but the showers look tired and longer curtains needed. The children mentioned earlier seemed to delight in trying to empty the soap dispensers. There were still notices regarding the dog illness at some of the club sites but our hound suffered from nothing apart from tiredness. A wonderful week. Big thank you to all the wardens we have met over the year

Good but could be better

I use Clumber quite often throughout the year and really like the place. Most, but not all of the wardens have been great. Two things that do stick out though are, 1, the gravel on the hardstandings has over time spread all over the road way and looks really untidy. A good brush would soon sort it and it would look a lot better. The second is the shower curtains. This looks to be general across the club, but they are too short. They allow spray to bounce up on to the dressing area so when you have finished showering you have nowhere dry to stand.

Nice long weekend spoilt by a few

Booked a long weekend before the bad weather sets in. Been many times before as it's not far for us and lots to do. Arrived on Thursday and everything great as usual but this changed on the Saturday when the shower block looked like a bomb had hit it - toilet paper everywhere, water all over the floor and clothes drying (and dripping) on the radiators - all done by some young girls. Don't know where the parents were! Wardens soon cleaned up thankfully. Only other beef was that my husband needed the loo urgently one day, waited until the prescribed time after cleaning but was sent away by the wardens as they gruffly told him they had been late starting as someone was in the shower, not his fault and he was very uncomfortable, to say the least, for the following half hour or so. Apart from that, a pretty good weekend, just what we needed.

Weekend Break

Booked this as a last minute November getaway whilst the weather still looked good! Arrived Friday Evening & the wardens were fairly pleasant. Having read previous reviews we did choose to leave our adult cycles at home & kept my sons locked away in the motorhome garage - which he made full use of over the weekend along with the park, which we managed to pitch next to. The weather was kind so we had a great time wandering (or cycling for my son) round Clumber Park - lots to see and do. We found the facilities perfectly adequate, yes they could have been cleaner but this is more to do with the weather and time of year, and a couple of people who're not sure how to clean up after themselves, than the wardens cleaning abilities. All in all we had a great weekend and there is still plenty for us to do around Clumber Park so we will most likely be back ... next year now though!!!

October Half Term Break

Had a wonderful 4 night break over the October half term at Clumber Park. Timed this well as there was the Around the World Firework display on the Saturday night to start the holiday with a bang, likewise the weather was on our side, which was lucky as we were on a grass pitch. The site itself was great, our daughter spending most of her time in the park with other kids. Reason for 4 stars for location, peace & quiet was that the park is not far from the A614 and you could hear traffic noise early in the morning. Overall a very good site, especially if you enjoy cycling. Agree that the shower blocks are showing their age but they were immaculate.

October Break

Clumber park is one of our favourite sites and we spend around 14 nights per year on site, its in a great location with plenty to do regardless of the weather. the site has a great atmosphere especially at this time of year. There are two Marstons carvery / pubs near bye one in Worksop (Lock keepers Arms) and the other at Ollerton both sells great food at reasonable prices and only a short drive from the site. Rufford country park and Robin Hood visitors centre are a must see regardless of your age. We have been visiting this site for nearly 10 years and the site is always well kept and clean however the toilet/shower blocks are now looking a little passed there sell by date and in need of a refurbishment however the wardens do a good job in keeping then clean and functional.

Not particularly impressed

It started badly by getting our booking wrong and then it took an age to sort it out!  The site is good for families with plenty of room for kids to run about, but in this day and age is it not possible to sort out the phone signal and if they can't do that make the wi fi free whilst on site. Phones are a curse at times but also a necessity these days.

Overpriced

First weekend as a caravan club member and first visit to this site. Wardens not overly helpful, vague instructions, guests not following instructions and facilities dated and not particularly clean. This could all be as it was half term. Would like to say I will try again but will have to save up first as feel it's overpriced.
