Another peaceful break

We visit Clumber at least once a year when there are special weekends in the walled kitchen garden where my wife is a volunteer gardener. We have always found the site to be well kept, generally peaceful and with good quality facilities which are kept really clean by the friendly team of wardens. There are lots of attractions in the area for visitors from further afield. My slight disappointment was that, on a cold autumnal day when TV viewing was the order of the evening, the signal from the site booster system was poor and we kept losing signal. This was particularly the case on Sunday evening. All in all though, Clumber is an excellent site on which to relax. Forget your wifi and your mobile and enjoy the peace.

We use Clumber Park as a base when in the area visiting relatives. During our last stay, the site was almost full and it felt incredibly busy and claustrophobic. However, on this visit, the site was pretty quiet and what a difference it makes. Plenty of walking straight out of the site. Good sized pitches and friendly wardens. However, if you want/need the WiFi - forget it!! As others have said, mobile phone signals can be picked up out and about in the vicinity.

Excellent break at Clumber Park

There have been a number of bad reviews in the past few months at Clumber and having just returned from a weekend away thought we would share our experience. We are regulars to this site as it is local to us. The site was clean and the flowers on the reception area for this time of year were amazing. The grass areas were tidy and recently cut. The welcome and the wardens have always been great. No complaints. The pitches are large and some or shady and quiet and some are sunny and in the middle of things. The site doesn't have wifi or even mobile phone signal but this is easy to resolve. Simply walk out of the entrance to the end of the drive and turn left. Walk up the road for about 100yards up a small hill and you will not only get full signal but 4G! You also get it turning right at the end of the drive and walking back to Lime Tree Avenue and heading left back up towards the main entrance. The toilet blocks are clean and we have never been short of hot water or had to queue, they are a little tired looking and perhaps could do with a refurb. The play area looks fabulous for the kids but we don't use it. The dog walking and cycling around Clumber Park is second to none. There have been thefts for a long time and some recent ones that we know about but the wardens always ask if you have bikes and offer the lock up service. It is a busy popular site and we can't wait for winter because people tend to stay at home and it is even more picturesque and relaxing when it is quiet. Hope this might help some people when thinking about visiting Clumber Park.

One Disable toilets unit for the whole site

Lovley site, there was no wifi at all. Only one disable toilet unit for the whole site, there are two toilet blocks with no indication or notices when you arrive as to which block it was in, We chose a pitch very close to the one that didn't have the disable toilet unit, after the trip to the other block it was mostly always engaged.

Last minute weekend away

We booked a space at Clumber last minute as we have not long owned our caravan, and its only 20 minutes drive from where we live. Whilst there we felt like we could have been anywhere. It was a nice and relaxing site with really helpful staff on the reception who will do all they can to help you. The pitch was large and the roads make it easy to get the caravan into position. Taking 2 dogs with us we chose a pitch near a gate so we had easy access to the woods and massive walks around Clumber. Very enjoyable weekend away ?? We will be staying here again thats for sure.

Families & dogs with no manners.

We have a dog & pitched away from the play area. With all the space around why do people want to invade our pitch & want to step over us to take a short cut to the trees. I was the bad guy for pointing out the gate next to us. Manners cost nothing but the arrogance of selfish people will make me select a pitch away from any access. I can live without WiFi & phone & social media but can't live with rude arrogance.

Just not up to our needs

Clumber park is a great site in an area offering plenty of walks and cycle rides for those able, the staff as usual are friendly and helpful.Our only gripe is that there are no dedicated disabled facilities, there are modified units within both the Ladies and Gents areas, but for a partner who need assistance with showering and dressing then it is obviously not possible for a man to enter the ladies and vice versa. This restricts our stays to 3 or 4 nights depending on how long my wife thinks she can go without a shower. Neither have wheelchair access. We hope things may get updated in the future.

Message from The Club:

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in the area. Please be aware that we do provide disabled facilities with toilet, shower and wash hand basin in one of our two blocks. We would welcome you to contact us directly if you wish to discuss your experience in further detail.

Disappointment

This site is in a wonderful location with walks, woodland, lakes ,wildlife in abundance all within easy access. However, I could not believe that after all this time the WIFI / Telephone situation has still not been sorted out. I had just registered for a years access when I was at Sandringham and had no problems with accessing the Web there. I was told at Clumber by the wardens that there was no access at all on site , so don't bother trying. I was also told that the Club will not provide the £80,000 required to put in Fibre Optic and neither will the National Trust allow them to dig up the ground for that purpose !! I find the latter just an excuse as the NT obviously allowed digging to provide the current "non-working" cables. Come on Caravan Club . It's 2016 and there is no excuse for not providing WIFI access. I notice that the wardens still have their computers working !!
