Shelford Nurseries Caravan Park
Radcliffe-on-Trent, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Despite being only 8 miles from Nottingham's bustling shopping centre, Shelford Nurseries is a green and pleasant site with the loudest noise usually being birdsong. There are many delightful local walks to keep the nature lovers happy, as well as any visiting dogs.
About Shelford Nurseries Caravan Park
Shelford Nurseries Caravan Park is a small park in the traditional farming village of Shelford, some 8 miles from Nottingham city centre. The campsite has 23 pitches in total, including 17 with hook ups and 4 hard standing. The remainder are on flat, well-drained grass. The site was originally a traditional market garden, and still has flourishing border hedges and several fruit trees. As well as being close to Nottingham, the site is also conveniently located for Newark (think romantic castle ruins and antique shops!) as well as Lincoln, with its majestic Minster.
The site is open March to October, weather dependent.
The toilet block includes a free shower in both the ladies' and the gents' areas, with a privacy cubicle in the ladies. There is a washing up room at the side of the shower block, along with one of two drinking water locations - the other being in the tent field.
The site includes a small bar (popular with campers and locals alike) selling a small range of quality ales, lagers, wine, spirits and soft drinks.
The local villages have a selection of good pubs and restaurants if you prefer to eat out, or alternatively takeaways will deliver to the site. Free WiFi (good enough for emails and social media!)
The nearest large supermarket, Morrisons, is 6 miles away at Gamston, just off the A52 towards Nottingham. The nearest garage is 2 miles away at the Saxondale roundabout on the A52 towards Bingham.
