We have just stayed for two nights and it is lovely to have no distraction from computers or mobile phones.
The wardens were very pleasant,the facilities to the usual excellent club standard.Fabulous value at less than £15-00 with midweek discount and the fact that there were only nine outfits pitched was a real bonus!!
Just like having the site to yourself and a memorable sunrise on the Friday.Whats not to like??
Great place for a quiet weekend
friendly wardens. Information centre has lots of useful guides for walking and eating out. Quiet site, clean toilets and showers.
Excellent site
Excellent site, visited just before Christmas, great to unwind before the rush begins. Loved it.
Grumpy Warden be aware!
As new members this year we have been made very welcome at all the sites we have visited so far....until our recent visit to Clumber!
We where "greeted" by a lady warden at 18:07 (we stated arrival time as 18:00-20:00 when booking) with "have you got £20?" And "it is Winter and you should pay before you arrive if you are going to be late". To be honest her whole attitude was rude and we were obviously a major inconvenience! Be warned and don't be late! Even though it says in the book that arrivals are until 8pm you might just find yourself in the late arrival area?
Lovely woodland site
We have been here before, and still enjoy the peace and quite found on this site, ideal for either cycling or walking in the acres of parkland which surrounds the site. The staff on site are pleasant and helpful and keep the site to the usual high standards. There is no phone or wifi coverage and those that require more there is Worksop, Retford or Newark close by. Definitely a site we will use again
Good walks and cycle rides
We stayed for the first time on this site in mid November. It is a lovely peaceful place with the usual high quality CC amenities. There are lots of opportunities for forest walks and cycle rides in and around the park. It would have been nice to have had some information available on site giving route suggestions, but it was easy enough to make it up as we walked/cycled around. We had several really good days out and about . . . . although I have no idea where we went!!!!!
Woodland walks
Great site for woodland walks and the Clumber Park generally. You can walk for miles without the need to drive anywhere. Facilities good on site and friendly wardens. No mobile phone coverage or wi-fi so a getaway from it all place.
Great site in a stunning location
We stayed here during the October half term week for a couple of nights. First impressions as you drive into the country park is.. wow, this is beautiful. The club site itself is up to the usual standards, and once set up on a pitch you are given your pitch fob to operate the barriers, a key to the secure bike storage shed, and a key to the toilet block (I guess to keep kids from playing in there?). Being half term week, the site was completely full busy, and there was a lot of young families staying, which was to be expected. At night, a lot of these young family caravans had lots of flashing lights around them and running up flag poles giving some areas of the site the look of a fun fair. All that said, we stayed up at the far end of the site away from the play area, and this remained quite quiet. This huge country park offers some really lovely walks or cycling through some really lovely forest and country scenery, which is what we came for. We will come back here again (outside of school holidays), as we would love to stay when the site is not so busy. Definitely a site & location we would recommend to anyone, but particularly those with children.
Shame about the Wifi
On the whole we thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay. Beautiful setting and more wildlife than most nature reserves. However there is room for improvement on two fronts.
Firstly, as mentioned by other reviewers, the pot holes on the approach need attention. Secondly, the Wifi, for which we paid £10.00 was useless. Despite what appears to be a strong connection it is almost impossible to log in and internet searching failed on every attempt. We discovered on returning home that there are known problems with the Wifi on this site. This raises two questions: why were we not warned when checking in, and why is the Club taking money from its members for a service that they know is not working.
Last trip out of year
Chose Clumber for our last trip out of year (5 night stay) and as usual didn't disappoint. Lovely site and particularly so with the autumn leaves (despite the high wind and rain!!). Wardens as friendly and helpful as always and looking forward to returning early next year.
