Usual review: Lovely site in a lovely area, helpful & friendly staff. HOWEVER my usual strong reservation that in this day and age lack of both wifi and mobile 'phone signal are not things we should have to tolerate.
Dog Walking Heaven
This must be one ,if not the quietus cite in UK. Set in a vast park and surrounded with trees it justifies it's reputation for peace and quiet. One strange fact. although about in t.he middle of Englannd there is no mobile phone connection and wifi is poor. The TV signal requires a hook up with the cite relay. Excellent dog
walking with access directly from the cite as well as huge areals in the surrounding park. I have been twice and not busy?
stopover on way home from Berwick site..
site located in beautiful surroundings of Clumber park. toilet block's paneling just starting to show wear, but kept clean by site staff. good location to visit local point's of interest, no Bus service local to site, had to drive every where. not a problem if you want to make good use of the Park or relax.
Weeds
On entering the site we thought what a spectacular flower display a lot of work involved there. An excellent reception from the husband and wife assisstants (sorry don't know your name but keep up the good work). Unfortunately walking round the site we were dissapointed to see the amount of weeds on the pitches, on some pitches it was difficult to distinguish between grass and hardstandings. It would seem most work has been spent on flowers not on site. Sad to see.

Good location
Used this site for a short stopover after a couple of weeks touring. Liked the location and access to the park but as a solo caravanner I found the site a little noisy and it felt overcrowded, however I can see why it appeals to families as there is plenty to do on the site and surroundings.
Will return
We stayed here over bank holiday weekend. Large site with good choice of pitches grass and hard standing. Great Central children's park. Fabulous site for families and is a more upbeat busier site than other club sites. Lots of people come from local areas and friends join at night time for a drink and then go home.
Great for dogs and bikes. There is a bike lock at night time.
Not really for people wanting a peaceful and tranquil site if going during school holidays as it's definitely geared towards the kids.
Nice clean toilets and showers as you expect.
Only draw back that we found was people walking straight through your pitch. I mean no shame, you will be sat there and they will either walk past you or the other way past your car.our pitch was near the park so it was used as a cut through instead of using path. Also adults were doing it to get to the toilet block instead of walking an extra 10cm to use the path. There are some pitches where you have to do this to get through one of the dog walk gates, so you get why,but I used the other as I don't like doing it to others. My pet hate. Kids ride bikes past peoples cars on pitch also. I saw a few people had put windbreaks up to stop people doing it.
It wouldn't prevent me from returning I would just use the windbreak idea as I think pitches and space need to be respected.But because the site offered so much for us I would definitely return and wouldn't let it put you off.
Still my Favourite UK site
Clumber Park CC Site never lets me down, I love this place. We have stayed many times at all times of year and just having come back from a very busy bank holiday weekend at the site, I am still delighted. Despite not having the pick of our favourite pitches as we didn't arrive until Friday and the site was already pretty full, we were happy enough, we expected it to be full. The biggest draw here is the fact the kids have an absolute ball, they are out playing from dawn until dusk and regularly meet up with other kids they have met there before. Cycling from the park is great, lots of paths / trails to choose from. Facilities are always clean, wardens friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return again soon!

We love Clumber Park. We've been many times and always enjoy it. We sadly lost our best friend Basil (the springer) in March - he was 17 and had a lovely life. He loved it in the woods at Clumber and we missed him on this trip. He's chasing rabbits somewhere..??
I know it's a busy site,but I wish campers would respect other folk's personal space. Unfortunately not much choice of pitches when we arrived. We were behind the toilet block which was fine - but lost count of the many people who traipsed right across our pitch to get to the loo. To be fair there is a well worn path ! Maybe some sort of hedging could help ? Anyway moan over. Lesson learnt- we'll be back ! Brilliant site and Fish n chips from the van Fri tea were brilliant. Tugboat??
