Campsites
We have four campsites, each with their own character. All campsites have a maximum of 55 people and are all equipped with a solid wet weather shelter and concrete fire base (all fires must be altar fires). There are three wash blocks, each with flush toilets, washbasins and showers. We will endeavour to give each group their own block, but at busy times, you may be asked to share. Fridges and freezers are available for people using any of the camping fields.
Bolsover Camping Kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, hot-water heater and a tumble dryer. It is available for use by campers wishing to cook indoors and can be booked by the hour or for a full 24 hours. This can be booked at the time of booking your camping field.
Coles Corner
Coles Corner is situated at the top of the car park. It has a flat area and a gentle slope running downhill towards Plimsoll. There is a campfire located at the top of this camping site which is perfect for summer evenings. There is a wet weather shelter on this campsite too.
The Orchard
The Orchard was once a walled garden with greenhouses which serviced the old Whiteley Wood Hall. The campsite, which is below the Renwick building, is home to two apple trees and its high walls give it a warm, secure feeling. It is the only campsite with electricity, which can be accessed via the spacious wet weather shelter. The field is relatively flat and also includes a cooking shelter.
Winder’s Field
Winder’s Field is the campsite area just below the Swannery. This is the site of the old Whiteley Wood Hall which stood proud until its demolition in 1959. The saluting base, located along the edge of the field, was built as a memorial to the hall and contains the hall’s original date stone. The saluting base was built on the site of the original drive and would have overlooked the old hall. You can enjoy the history of Whiteley Woods amongst the gentle slopes and mature trees.
The Swannery
The Swannery is the first campsite you will see on arrival to the centre and is situated next to the drive. It is a large, flat, open site surrounded by mature trees and looks down onto Winder’s Field, which was the site of the old Whiteley Wood Hall. It is the closest field to the toilets and shower blocks.
