We stayed at Sherwood Forest Holiday Park across Easter bank holiday weekend in April 2017. We have never camped in this part of the country before so we did not have a site in mind. i literally googled excellent campsites near Sherwood forest, and this was the first one. after some research we booked and i have to say the campsite did not disappoint in any area.
The pitches are a good size, our folding camper is large ( 6m by 5m with awning) and fitted really well with plenty of space for the car and for us outside. we had an excellent pitch in Cedar number 148, a larger corner plot. Cedar is a great area; we were traveling with our 5 year old daughter and after a settling in period we were happy for her to go back and forth to the play park on her own. for those that have seen the river on the map, handily the entrances to the park have be placed on the non river side so we weren't concerned about her disappearing off!
Position of this pitch was great as it offered the option of 2 different shower blocks.
check in was smooth and swift
The shower blocks were immaculate each time i used them. i believe this is partly due to the site cleaning them but also to the respectfulness of the sites users. my only complaint about the shower block in the center of Cedar was that to access it you have to walk across a grasses area; the slightest bit of rain causes mud and thus the floor on this block was a little dirtier. this could easily be resolves with two gravel paths, but not a big issue. my husband found that many of the push showers had a very short push on them which he found quite frustrating.
The site shop was fantastic, it offers an amazing range of product particularly for caravan / camper / tent maintenance. any everything was very reasonably priced.
there are a wide range of shops locally including a large asda.
Overall we would most definitely stay here again, it is a well maintained site, the pitches are great, the facilities and staff are wonderful.
