Shelford Nurseries Caravan Park is nestled at the bottom of Shelford Hill in the heart of Trent valley. Despite being only 8 miles from Nottingham's bustling shopping centre, we are a green and pleasant site with the loudest noise usually birdsong.

There are many delightful local walks to keep the nature lovers happy as well as any visiting dogs, and on your way home, be sure to stop off in the local village pub for some well deserved refreshment.

The local villages also have a good selection of pubs, restaurants and bistros to suite every taste and if you don’t feel like venturing out, there are local take-away restaurants that can deliver.

As well as being close to historic Nottingham, we are equally convenient for Newark with its antiques shops and romantic castle ruins, Leicester with its new Space Centre and Lincoln with its majestic Minster.

The campsite has 23 pitches in total, including 9 with hook ups and 2 hard standing. The remainder are on flat, well-drained grass. Which is a blessing given the Summer we're having!

The site was originally a traditional market garden and still has many fruit trees including apple, damson and plum. It's a very green site with flourishing borders and hedges to protect and encourage wild life. We feed the birds year round there are a couple of very tame pheasants who turn up for their peanuts on a daily basis. In fact the loudest noise is usually birdsong!

Site facilities

The toilet block includes a free shower in the Ladies and the Gents with a privacy cubical in the ladies.

There is a washing up room at the side of the shower block. This is also one location for drinking water the other being in the tent field.

The waste water point at the top of the main field.

The chemical disposal point is at the rear of the shower block.

The Shop

Our shop is licensed and stocks a range of wine and beers, ice cream and sweets, treats and those essentials that we all forget. We also have a range of home made pickles, wine made just 10 miles away and local honey.

Our small range of gifts include hand stitched leather pouches, and for any archers out there - after all this is Robin Hood country - we have a good selection of hand crafted arrows. The arrows, of a traditional medieval design are fully functional for today's long bow archer, but can also make a very unique gift or souvenir of your stay in Nottingham.

The shop will open until 17:00 but we can pop out in an emergency (such as the wine running out!).
