Gunthorpe Camping

A spacious field just across a quiet road from the River Trent, with pubs on the doorstep and cows watching from the fence.

Gunthorpe Camping sits in the heart of Gunthorpe village, a quiet stretch of Nottinghamshire that earns its keep through the river rather than any engineered attraction. The Trent runs just beyond a quiet road at the site entrance, and the walk along the bank to the lock is the kind of thing guests mention every time: boats navigating the weir, a couple of riverside pubs, an ice cream van that seems always to be there.

The pitches fan out around the edge of a well-kept field, roomy enough that groups and families don't feel pressed together. The cows in the neighbouring pasture are a genuine feature, apparently approachable; the guinea fowl and black ducks wandering the site add to the unhurried, slightly eccentric character that makes the place more than just a field with showers. Reviews note a generous offer of free shrubs and trees to take home, which tells you something about the owner's attitude.

Facilities are modern and functional: a newly built shower block, electric hookups for tourers, and toilets. The village pubs and a restaurant are within easy walking distance, which means self-catering is optional. Countryside walks and cycle routes lead straight from the site.

Before you book

Pitch sizes near the edges of the field can vary from what's advertised online, so confirm your required dimensions when booking.

“An honest riverside village campsite that earns its reputation through location and owner warmth rather than facilities ambition. Good for families and tourers who want the river on their doorstep and a pub in reach.”
