Peaceful, off-grid vibes and walks along the Trent Valley Way, yes please… Millview Camping is a completely off-grid site just 20 minutes’ drive from Nottingham city centre and 15 minutes’ walk from the 116-mile Trent Valley Way. With westerly views over the Trent Valley and in the shadows of a ruined 18th-century windmill, this is a peaceful and scenic place to take a break indeed…
Well-positioned too, with a generous handful of pubs, restaurants and cafés a scenic 35 minutes’ walk away in Gunthorpe alongside the river Trent. Radcliffe on Trent and Bingham are five minutes’ drive away for any other amenities you might (supermarkets, shops, restaurants, pubs and the likes). And if you’re after even more of a buzz, Nottingham city centre is 25 minutes’ drive away.
Even with such good access to so many towns and the big city, the site itself is remote. It has 10 acres of hay meadows and woodlands for guests to explore and, of course, sublime sunsets over the valley. If you prefer to keep your whole stay pretty rural, the Vale of Belvoir and the historic Belvoir Castle are 20 minutes’ drive away from the site.
It’s no frills here. The grass and woodland pitches have facilities including water and portaloo access. Dogs are also permitted, as are barbecues.

Escape to the peace and tranquillity of the Northamptonshire countryside in one of our luxury adults-only canalside lodges. Whether you're looking to relax, explore or simply switch off, everything you need is right here.
Each handcrafted lodge features a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, grill, induction hob, fridge/freezer, bean-to-cup coffee machine, cookware & utensils. You'll also enjoy a king-size Emma mattress, wood-burning stove, private bathroom, towels, dressing gowns, slippers and plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay extra special.
Outside, unwind in your own private wood-fired hot tub, enjoy evenings around the fire pit, cook on the BBQ, or simply relax on the decking or hammock overlooking the canal. All fuel for the hot tub, fire pit and wood burner is provided.
Step onto peaceful canalside walks where nature is never far away. Keep an eye out for red kites, buzzards and kingfishers, and if you're lucky, you may even spot an otter swimming along the canal. Each lodge also has its own private fishing peg on a quiet turning point in the canal, meaning you'll rarely be disturbed by passing boats.
A selection of welcoming country pubs and restaurants are just a short drive away, while the attractive market towns of Rugby & Market Harborough can both be reached in around 20 minutes.

Great location and loved the amount of privacy you get, as pitches are well separated. It was especially nice to be in the forest and a bit shaded, with the heatwave! Loved playing disc golf, Lee was great and really informative. We got two hole in ones!
Our only downside is that the toilets did get smelly/dirty within just a few hours. Creating a toilet block and having a shower on site might be something to consider in the future.

Lovely family friendly quiet site, well maintained.
River at the bottom is great, we kayaked and paddle boarded, kids swam in the river too!
Close to large supermarkets (5/7 min drive) and March town in a short drive or 35 walk along the river.
Perfect for a few relaxing days away.
Nice greeting at the toilets in the mornings from Jaffa the cat too 😊

The campsite is great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only slight issue is there are only 2 toilets and 2 showers, so you have to wait to use these when the site is full. However, having easy access to the river is a massive bonus, we were either on or in the river every day. Paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or fishing. Overall one of the best sites we have stayed at.

Great site, however only 2 toilets for the whole site means a bit of a wait when the site is busy. The staff were very frieand helpful and having the river so close meant extra activities. We were on or in the river every day.

Just returned from 5 wonderful nights at Four Winds Campsite, we were a family of 4 and went with two other families. We were lucky enough to have sunshine every day and made good use of the river. We had 5 children between us ranging from 10 - 15 years old. We hired kayak's and rowed to March, we stopped off at a park for a picnic recommended by Debs. We had an afternoon in Ely and had another recommendation to eat dinner in The Cutter Inn which was a really lovely meal. We hired paddle boards another day, the Dad's enjoyed some fishing and the campsite was big enough to play football or rounders with ample space. There was a basketball hoop, we took a slip and slide, badminton net, elastics, and light up frisbees. The pizza van on Friday night was great, particularly as there are no BBQ's allowed due to the hot weather. The small shop sells ice creams and cold drinks. The washing up area is undercover with Jaffa the cat hanging around. The only negative is there are only two toilets each with a basin, so there was sometimes a queue as its the only area to brush teeth, a couple more basins or a portacabin of extra toilets/sinks would make this campsite perfect. There are only two showers as well but they were always hot and clean. Debs was really friendly and helpful, we would recommend this site to anyone wanting a relaxing stay with watersports as an added bonus.

We went in our campervan last year and the camp had about 12 units. We’ve just returned from a few nights there over the weekend and was a little shocked at the sheer numbers on site. Manager said that they were expecting 120 to arrive on the Friday. Bearing in mind that no caravans are allowed, the majority were tents with a lot of children with no shower or toilets. 2 men’s toilets and 3 showers for that amount of people was clearly not enough and so queuing was a bit of an issue.
We left on the Monday as did a lot of the units and it was therefore tranquil again.
I would return but only midweek and out of school holidays.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, the land is spacious and varied. The facilities were clean and pleasant (although one of the 2 showers was out of use - didn't cause any difficulty to me on this occasion and hopefully will be fixed soon). I will definitely return. Thankyou Tom.

This is our second visit and we had another great time! We arrived a little earlier than check-in but had a 4hr kayak session booked so headed off down river first. Once we had set up, Andy (the warden), was brilliant with my son who had no clue how to set up his fishing gear. Under Andy's guidance he caught his first fish! The facilities are lovely and clean and there is everything you'd need for a quick hit or longer stay. There's also a nice garden area to relax/eat in. This is now a firm favourite for our mini trips. I would highly recommend a visit!
