Gravel pitches

  • Peaceful rural Nottinghamshire touring pitches for CAMC members only
  • A 10-minute drive from Retford and 35 minutes from Sherwood Forest
  • Bicycle hire on site; under 10 minutes’ walk from a pub and shop
Nipping to the countryside for a weekend away or a break from work and life duties? If you're a Caravan and Motorhome Club member, use Willow Beck Retreat Certificated Location (a CAMC members-only site) as your Nottinghamshire bolthole. The touring pitches are on the edge of the village of North Leverton. First and foremost, this translates to excellent views of the countryside. However, it also has the nice touch of being just a five-minute walk to a village shop and under 10 minutes along a footpath to a traditional local pub. Guests can head out to explore on two wheels easily here, as Willow Beck Retreat Certificated Location has bike hire facilities. If you’re not feeling too energetic when it comes around to it, chilling out on the site is made comfy and convenient by a convenient amenities block with gas-powered hot showers, toilets and a hand-washing basin. The pitches also have their own drinking water and grey waste disposal facilities. On a lazy day, weave in a visit to the North Leverton Windmill visitor centre just a five-minute walk away. Built in 1813, the windmill is still going strong and sells flour and other local products. For a spot of shopping or café- and bar-hopping instead, eye up the historical market town of Retford 10 minutes’ drive away.

Liked: We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willow Beck. The site is very well looked after, small and cosy. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Beatifull windmill nearby which is absolutely worth a visit, and miles and miles of beatiful countyside around the site - fantastic for cycling. We can't wait to come back again.

Liked: Clean and small site. Short walk to shop,pub & bus stop.
Friendly owner. Toilet/shower very clean. Pitches large with a picnic bench. Small play area for children.

Disliked: Need to have better lit sign at entrance easy to miss in the dark.Cost of electric was a lot more than expected although it is January. Road noise during busy times.

Liked: Abraham available on the phone and super helpful especially when trying to find the site in the dark! Small private beautiful setting, very clean facilities consisting of 2x toilets and 1x shower with lovely hot water. Great little play area for the children. Pay as you go electric meter. Stopped here for one night on way through to Scotland but this site encourages me to come back and explore the local area here rather than drive on through.

Local attractions

Whether you were raised on Robin Hood or simply fancy a good woodland stroll, Sherwood Forest (35 minutes’ drive) makes a splendid addition to any day’s plan. The forest has a short trail to the ‘Magic Oak’, a tree with a 10-metre trunk girth and a collection of up to 150,000 acorns when the conditions are optimal. If you’re up for a long-ish cycle, stop by the forest café before taking your wheels onto the Sustrans Route 6 passing by the outskirts of the forest reserve. Travelling with under-10s? Sundown Adventureland (five minutes) has miniature rides and quick entertainment for those still in their primary school years. Alternatively, grab a ‘discovery backpack’ from the café-shop at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve (Notts Wildlife Trust) (15 minutes) and go birdwatching from the boardwalks. Any keen anglers may want to go to Wetlands Lakes (15 minutes) for a day of carp fishing, as long as they’re armed with the correct licence. Otherwise, the National Trust’s Clumber Park (20 minutes) has 3,800 acres of gorgeous parkland including 20 miles of cycling paths, a second-hand bookshop, and an avenue with 1200+ lime trees.
