This site is a dream for dogs. The problems are the cleaning of the toilets mid morning which is not very good as there are lots of people on site at this time of year. If you are disabled as I am it is a long walk to the far toilet block. the place is very clean and the wardens are lovely. Would use this site again.
just stayed at clumber park for a few days, very pretty reception area. Around 5pm that same day a police patrol car toured the site, I thought that a was very unusual, later the same evening a security guard started patrolling the site. By this time I was wondering what what was wrong here?
The the next I day I noticed signs warning of thieves, as you can imagine I felt a little uneasy. For the rest of our stay we felt it nessary to Lock up things we would of left outside all night.
The site its self is large surrounded by trees. lots of walks an bike rides in the surrounding woods, the remains of clumber park house about an hours walk away. cafe and gift shops as well as a large lake.
Never had any contact with the wardens outside of the office. Don't think I would stay there again unless as this time everywhere else was fully booked.
very disapointed, exceptionally noisy site even allowing for school holidays. toilet blocks closed for cleaning mid morning, surely the time to clean the toilets would be early afternoon.
Clumber park is a lovely site with everything we need for a perfect caravan holiday. We have lost track of how many times we have stayed because we have stayed 3 or 4 times a year since we discovered it about 7 years ago.
There are so many forest walks and places to picnic we are spoilt for choice. The bike tracks are really good and so many of them. The bike hire shop very useful and i even hired a mobility scooter from there. The lake, cafe and surrounding area is lovely in all weather. We have 2 dogs who love walking in the woods and recently have been taking our 5 year old grandaughter who loves the playpark on site. All wardens friendly .Overall we give Clumber park caravan site 10/10 and cant wait to go back.
Been to this site twice now both times with our granddaughters. It's great for children, lovely play area and great for getting into Clumber Park itself for walking or cycling. The down side is not having a mobile signal or wifi. It's difficult to keep in touch with the childrens parents. We have paid for a years subscription for wifi and this is not the first site we have not been able to use it. So we feel we are paying for something that is not fit for purpose! Looking through the comment book this seems to upset a lot of people.
Almost level site with a good choice of grass or hardstanding pitches. Enough trees and bushes on site to provide a varied environment, together with a good play area makes it a great place to take children.
Also, many attractions within a short drive add to the value of the venue.
We love this site, but would not go in a school holiday again, far to many screaming kids for us and they seemed unable to flush a toilet. But still love this site and will be making this a yearly stop off for us. Staff and wardens very friendly.
This site is close to home for us so great for a week end away. The flowers at reception were beautiful , the staff did just enough, the grass wasn't cut as people left , the bottle dustbins were full all week end , the shower block near the play park was dated and could have been cleaner all not as good as Incleboro fields on a recent visit!!
Myself, my husband and 3 children (9,7&2yrs) just recently visited Clumber park for 6 nights.
It is set in over 3000 acres of woodland, giving it an impression of peace and tranquility. Clumber park itself has many walks and cycle tracks which makes it perfect for seeing the outdoors.
The site itself has a play park for the children, which all of my children enjoyed.
We found a pitch a little way, from the park as it does get really busy and noisy. Although it states it closes at dusk, children can be heard playing football 9-10pm at night.
As its set in the park land, the site has had problems with bike theft and are trying to solve the problem with a bike lock up and over night security.
A key has to be used to access the toilet block facilities, which can be a little annoying, but understand why this is done.
Sure the wardens are very friendly, but never had anything to do with them during our stay.
We visited wheel gate whilst we stayed here, which I would throughly recommend. Great day out for all of our children - def for up to the ages of 12ish. ( get your money off coupon on the leaflet in the info hut first)
National trust are doing free sports over the summer at the Clumber park visitor centre which is great too.
Good holiday all round.
Just come back from spending a few days at Clumber Park for the first time. We deliberately pitched ourselves near the play park so the kids could enjoy the facilities and we could keep an eye on them. They made loads of friends from the moment we arrived, and had a fanatic time. We were lucky with the weather so spent most of the time outside, including visiting the main facilities at Clumber where they were doing sporting activities.
I was impressed by the site, although we chose to be near the play park, anyone without children or wanting a quieter location could choose elsewhere on the site. Facilities were clean, fish and chips on Friday eve were lovely! (Worth queuing for!) I would definitely recommend this site - something for everyone!
