Shardaroba Caravan Park
Website: www.shardaroba.co.uk
This site is located in a small, elevated oasis of pretty countryside not far from the M1, making it an ideal stopover whether you're heading north
or south. The market towns of Chesterfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Mansfield are all within easy travelling distance.
It's also a wonderful park in
its own right. There's a fantastic sense of space here, with large, beautifully kept pitches arranged in rows around the site's perimeter, divided by neatly manicured grass. In summer, colourful flower beds enhance the rural setting. Some pitches have their own picnic tables — ideal for relaxing with
an alfresco lunch.
The washroom facilities have won several awards and include
a few private rooms with their own shower, toilet and sink. Best of all, the wardens treat all visitors like old friends, and you can't fail to notice or be impressed by their unstinting efforts to maintain and ensure impeccably high standards.
There's plenty of good walking available, including Silverhall Country Park opposite the site. Where, on a clear day, you can see across five counties from the highest point in Nottinghamshire.
