Great place to relax

The site is a great place to go walking. The national Trust has kept Clumber park looking really nice. You can walk from the site to the lake and back within a few hours. Dont expect to have wifi or signal as there is no signal on the campsite or in Clumber park. I gave an overall star rating of 4 as the toilet block could do with a update but i am not complaining as you can still have a decent shower and they are all very clean. The wardens are also really nice and very welcoming to the site when you arrive. There is also a few places you can go out side of clumber park which are not too far to travel. we will defiantly be returning to this site in the future .

General comments

Have recently stayed over at Clumber and to be honest won't be returning, Arrival was seamless but the wardens seems stand off'ish and not interested in interacting with either myself or my wife, site was busy and some late night noise, but that can be expected on such a large site. don't forget to use your Clumber Park key fob for FREE car parking at the NT sites, saves £7 each time, not common knowledge unless you read the info hut guideance, asked about a late departure but got told to read the info leaflet, thats fine, if I had been given one.

Phone signal

We have used Clumber many times over the years and don't expect to get a phone signal. However, during our stay here mid March we chose pitch 124 and our phones quite often picked up sufficient signal to send and receive messages and emails. We are on Tesco's O2 service. Our friends on EE got nothing however. I thought this might be of interest to some people. As usual we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

First time here

This was our first visit in our new caravan. The wardens very very friendly and on checking in warned us about bike thefts - which we appreciated, even though we do not have bikes, and we think it is a good idea to make people aware. We found this site great for us with our dogs as there are so many walks close to the park. A visit to the lake is a must, we walked from the park and all around it. This is a large site and we went during the school hols, but noise was not an issue for us. We would definatley return.

late night noise

standards are slipping, it seems a number of cc members do not believe club rules apply to them. another stay at this great site has been spoiled by late night drink fuelled noise. we were kept awake by two vans until the early hours and I witnessed one elderly chap almost in tears as his wife who was unwell was becoming quite distressed but he felt too scared to approach these people. night patrols and interventions need to be stepped up.

Another great stay

We've stayed at Clumber Park many times and just love the location and the daily walk around the lake (around 6-7 miles if you walk from the campsite and all the way around the lake, though there are lots of options if you don't want to walk as far). Our dogs absolutely love the walks there. We'd recommend visiting the NT Tea Room by the walled kitchen garden (open weekends and holiday periods I believe) as it's a little more relaxed and less busy than the cafe in the centre. There's lots of outdoor seating if you have dogs; the centrally located cafe now has a small room which is dog friendly which is new since the last visit. The walled garden also features the world's second largest selection of Rhubarb varieties (!) We stayed over the Easter period so the site was full and I pity the wardens who had to clean up some of the mess left in the toilets, it always seems to be the same at Clumber when it's busy. You get a wide variety of humanity staying there so suffice to say we enjoyed being able to retreat to the vast expanse of the park! There's a WiFi signal onsite but there appears to be very little bandwidth to the site so if you do succeed in logging in (which takes perseverance) then don't expect to be able to do much browsing. The CC website and Met Office were both just about usable and don't need a login to work. The phone signal at the site and around the park is limited and intermittent so don't rely on it to make arrangements if you have friends visiting! It was a shame to hear that bike thefts are still happening.

Easter stay

Another great stay at this lovely site, we have been many times here and enjoy the site and clumber park, great place for bike riding and walks. The site is close to home but yet felt we were miles away. No signal for phones or wifi but sometimes that can be a blessing!! New wardens on site which has made a massive difference in a good way. They are very friendly. I for one was glad to see new wardens as although I love the site we were giving it one last try as we love the site and was not going to let the old wardens ruin this. Enjoyed it so much we have booked to stay for 3 weeks in the 6 weeks holidays and hopefully wifi will be working. The bike shed is fantastic but get your bikes in asap to secure a place. Bike theft is a problem but you are told On arrival to use the bike shed which I noticed has cameras inside. A new camera system seems to have been put in place at the barriers so maybe they are trying to up security. The park on site is fantastic for the kids I hardly saw mine as they made new friends and played out quite a lot. We only booked for 5 nights but ended up staying 11. Fish and chip van comes on a Friday which makes a lovely change from the bbqs and washing up. The site is a big site and even when full does not feel overcrowded. Looking forward to going again soon.

Another Enjoyable Visit to Clumber Park

Clumber Park is no stranger to us and we had another enjoyable 2-night stay, before carrying on to York. Site is big and was close to capacity, but didn't feel over full as the pitches are varied and spacious. Great location for walking and biking. Clumber Park itself is one of the best National Trust parks we have been to. The only niggle was the quality of the WIFI, which was non existent where we were pitched, but I don't think this was confined to us, but was more of a site wide problem. The USP of this site is the bike storage shed, which we were encouraged to use as bike theft has been a problem. Will never tire of coming here.

Easter at Clumber Park

This was our third trip to Clumber Park, we really love this site for the cycling you can do off road. Check was busy when we arrived on the Thursday but to the credit of the staff they worked thought this with a smile, we thought the staff very welcoming and friendly. The facilities are good and a great location for touring around North Notts and Clumber Park. If you do take your bikes use the bike shed to lock them up, but you do need to get then In Early to secure a place. There is no phone signal or Internet (summer this year for the Internet) which is the only disappointing thing about this site.

Easter break.

Just spent four nights at this site. Excellent facilities in a great location. Wardens were friendly and welcoming they also keep the site immaculate. It is however a tad expensive, in fact it is the most expensive caravan club site I have stayed on. Unfortunately they have a huge problem with theft at this site and the Caravan next to us had their two bicycles stolen, despite them being chained up, which makes you feel nervous, as you have to question how safe it is to stay there. Feel it might be an idea to employ security or install cameras. Until they do I do not think I will be returning to this site in the future.
