Perfectly Acceptable But No Comms Facility
This was our first visit to Clumber, chosen for its proximity to a relatives' house that we had to clear out. The wardens were extremely friendly and welcoming but as we arrived on a Saturday, the choice of pitches was very limited. Only the hard standing pitches were in use and it felt very busy - not sure what it is like when all the grass pitches are in full swing too. We found the facilities to be acceptable - very clean and not as dire as previous reviewers have made out (we were using the bottom toilet block) - I have seen older and more dated showers on the network. Easy access into Clumber Park with plenty of walking but unless you're a NT member, be ready for a £7.00 car park charge anywhere on the estate. As we were there for a purpose, I can't comment on things to do further afield. Supermarkets at Worksop and Ollerton. We didn't have children with us but there is an excellent play area. There is no mobile signal on EE - I believe it is the same for other networks - but there is a good signal down by the lake. The WiFi is at best extremely poor, and at worst, non -existent. The CC/Airangel need to decide whether to say there is no internet or upgrade the whole system and provide something that is fit for purpose. We have an annual subscription but to anyone thinking about buying 'airtime' for the duration of their stay at Clumber, I would say, don't waste your money.
