The creak of the pub sign and the rumble of conversation drifting from the Brownlow Arms greet you as you arrive at this quintessentially English roadside site. Woodsmoke might curl from your pitch on cooler evenings, though you'll need to check what's permitted when you arrive. This is proper, no-frills camping in the heart of Robin Hood country, where Sherwood Forest and the rolling Nottinghamshire countryside provide endless walking opportunities.

Perfect for those who appreciate a pint and a chat within staggering distance of their tent or tourer, this site suits sociable campers who don't need extensive facilities. The Brownlow Arms sits in central Nottinghamshire, ideal for exploring historic market towns and the legends of the Major Oak without venturing far from base.

You'll find essential toilets and showers onsite, alongside pitches for tents, campervans, and caravans. The atmosphere leans traditional and unpretentious—this is camping where the pub garden becomes your evening entertainment and fellow campers are likely to become friends over a shared love of simple outdoor living. Expect a warm welcome and straightforward Nottinghamshire hospitality.
