Practical Caravan Top 100 Parks Award 2008

This site is a favourite with families and dog owners. Miles of walks through the pretty countryside leave from opposite the entrance. Well placed near the M1, this is an ideal stopping point whether you are heading north or south. The pitches are large and each has its own picnic table and seating; there are also fully serviced pitches. Washrooms, a launderette, a gas exchange and a play area are also provided. The site shop sells camping supplies, basic groceries and locally produced meats for your barbecue.

Practical Motorhome independent site reviews Jan 2007

This site is located in a small, elevated oasis of pretty countryside not far from the M1, making it an ideal stopover whether you’re heading north
or south. The market towns of Chesterfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Mansfield are all within easy travelling distance.
It’s also a wonderful park in
its own right. There’s a fantastic sense of space here, with large, beautifully kept pitches arranged in rows around the site’s perimeter, divided by neatly manicured grass. In summer, colourful flower beds enhance the rural setting. Some pitches have their own picnic tables — ideal for relaxing with
an alfresco lunch.
The washroom facilities have won several awards and include
a few private rooms with their own shower, toilet and sink. Best of all, the Holdiat Site Assistants treat all visitors like old friends, and you can’t fail to notice or be impressed by their unstinting efforts to maintain and ensure impeccably high standards.
There’s plenty of good walking available, including Silverhall Country Park opposite the site. Where, on a clear day, you can see across five counties from the highest point in Nottinghamshire.

Practical Caravan Top 100.

There are few occasions when you can accurately use the word ‘pristine’ to describe toilet and shower facilities. But Shardaroba has rightfully earned this accolade. It’s spotlessly clean throughout, and well managed by the owners, Val and John Bennett, and their team of friendly wardens. Each facility in this park, including a shower/bathroom complex, the tourist information chalet, the shop and the safe children’s play area, is maintained to
a very high standard.
There are no leisure facilities on site, but within a couple of miles you have access to fishing, horseriding, and a golf driving range. For those who fancy a spot of retail therapy, the attractive market town of Mansfield is just four miles away. Picnic tables are provided on some of the fields, drinking water and disposal bins are within easy reach of pitches, as is the fire safety equipment.
Dogs are welcome at no extra charge, and they must be kept under control at all times. The park is on high ground, with good views, and has a spacious feel to it.
For caravanners on their way north along the M1, this is an ideal stopping-off place, and for those who wish to explore the local associations with Robin Hood, the park is perfectly located. It will also appeal to walkers since there are many dedicated trails nearby: some more challenging than others.
