Kelham Hall and Country Park

**Not taking bookings nor operating at the moment **

Camping locations don’t come much more stately than this; in the grounds of the grand and very beautiful Kelham Hall in Nottinghamshire, this campsite is one with rather incredible surroundings. Kelham Hall - a Victorian house in 42 acres of gorgeous landscaped gardens - is open to the public and has a children's adventure playground, tennis courts, woodland trails and a cafe. The campsite itself is nestled into one corner of the gardens, and has over 70 nice sized pitches set out spaciously on the large, well maintained grassy lawn. The facilities are good, with a shower and toilet block, a washing up area, electric hook ups, a chemical disposal point and drinking water. All are welcome here: tents, motorhomes, caravans and campervans and you can bring your dog along too.

If you want to explore the immediate area, there is so much to do in and around Kelham Hall and the surrounding Parkland. Tours of the Hall itself are available and you can uncover the secrets of the past inhabitants of this extraordinary house and find out its significance in World War II. The parkland and gardens are absolutely lovely too. The Woodland and Riverside Walk in the Country Park is a lovely expedition and one for all the family, around 45 minutes long and takes in lots of sights including St Wilfrid’s Church, the monks graveyard and the Riverside Meadow and Garden. More serious hikers can try out the Kelham Hills Walk; a three hour countryside trail showcasing some of Nottingham's most lovely countryside; rolling hills, woodland, farmland and along the River Trent. If you fancy something a little bit different then how about venturing into the Kelham Hall Escape Rooms for an adrenaline pumping immersive experience to crack the clues and beat the clock.

Further afield there are some great family attractions and places to explore in Nottinghamshire. The legendary home of Robin Hood - Sherwood Forest - is a 20 minute drive away from Kelham Hall and a magical destination for everyone who wants to enjoy this ancient woodland (including the 1000 year old Major Oak) and experience a nature reserve which is home to hundreds of species of birds, insects, mammals and plants. There are brilliant walking and cycling trails here and the excellent Visitor Centre will offer guidance and activity ideas for those looking to enjoy and record the things they spot in the forest. Sherwood Pines and Robin Hood’s hideout are excellent adventure playgrounds in the forest for children of all ages.

With the number of things to see and do at Kelham Hall Campsite it makes an absolutely superb location for a long holiday or short break. There is even a pub right next door - the excellent Fox Inn - if you want a night off the cooking and don’t want to have to drive anywhere for your supper. With both Lincoln and Nottingham close by, this centrally placed location is a ready made camping holiday with some fantastic activities, lots of wildlife, good countryside walks and so much more...all on your doorstep. Just pitch up and relax.
