The gate swings open onto wide grass pitches where swallows dart low over static vans and the hum of the countryside settles in around you.
This is a traditional caravan park that welcomes tourers and motorhomes looking for a straightforward stop in the British heartland. Dog owners should ask ahead about bringing four-legged friends along, and the pitch-by-pitch campfire question gets answered when you arrive — worth checking if you've got a firepit packed. It's the kind of site that suits couples touring cross-country or families happy with modest surroundings and their own company, rather than anyone chasing bells and whistles.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail here, so it's wise to ring ahead if you've got specific needs — showers, hookups, waste points — and confirm what's actually onsite. The vibe feels low-key and unfussy, a working farm park where you pitch up, settle in, and let the quiet do its work. Campfires are a maybe rather than a given, so double-check that one at the gate if flame-grilled sausages are part of your plan.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.
4 routes found via OpenStreetMap
Winds through gentle rolling countryside in Nottinghamshire, linking villages and farmland with moderate, undulating terrain—expect some steady climbs but nothing too demanding. Suitable for older children used to longer distances, though not buggy-friendly due to stiles and field paths. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth doing for quintessential English rural scenery, historic villages, and a peaceful escape from busier Peak District routes nearby.
Traverses 75 miles through the National Forest from Burton upon Trent to Beacon Hill, mixing woodland paths, canal towpaths and gentle farmland with some moderate climbs. Suitable for fit families with older children but not buggies due to uneven forest tracks and stiles. Dogs welcome throughout on leads near livestock. Rewards walkers with regenerated woodland, industrial heritage sites and surprisingly varied terrain across Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire's transformed landscape.
Stretches 230 miles from Buckinghamshire to Stockport, linking canals, meadows and villages across the Midlands. Terrain varies from flat towpaths to rolling farmland with moderate climbs through the Chilterns and Peak District fringes. Suitable for sections with older children, but full route too long and some stretches too remote for young families or buggies. Dogs welcome throughout. Worth doing for a genuine cross-country experience away from major tourist trails, with historic market towns
