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.

As expected, nice and quiet, other campers were quiet and respectful, the ones we spoke to were friendly. Toilet and shower were clean and the water warm and a surprisingly nice shower. Only downside was the washing up sink pretty much looks through the bathroom window

We absolutely loved this little gem! 🌿✨ Such a lovely glamping spot, perfectly located near lots of entertainment and activities for the children, making it a great base for a family getaway. To note the site does also offer hen and stag parties but there weren’t any there when we stayed.
The bell tents are basic but cosy, with soft furnishings and bedding provided. You will need to bring your own cooking and kitchen equipment, including a cooker, plates, knives, forks, utensils etc. There is a mini fridge in each tent, along with coffee and milk sachets, which was a lovely little touch.
There’s a communal fire pit and on site toilets and there are shops nearby 4 min drive too, which is really handy.
The camp is still under construction in some areas, but honestly, it didn’t put a downer on our stay at all. We still had a lovely time and really enjoyed the experience.
Overall, a lovely place for a fun family break we’d definitely recommend it! 🏕️

So much space! I like how the site has separate areas for families and social groups and then quieter areas for those looking for some peace and quiet. Good facilities, a little dated maybe but all clean and in good working order. Where else can you get a site with toilets and showers for £12 a night? I enjoyed my time there and as its only an hour away from home, I'll definitely be back!

We had such a fantastic time at this campsite. Was really lovely having the individual pitches and pizza on site. Facilities were also lovely and well thought out with extra touches. Really well equipped cooking facilities.
I don't know if it was because we booked through Hipcamp but we didn't really get any info before arrival and found it a bit tricky to locate our pitch as we couldn't locate the map of the campsite. But a very minor issue!

Lovely spacious site with fantastic views and great sunset. Campsite and Toilets / Showers were clean. Staff were lovely and made us feel welcome. Close to Leek for shopping/amenties, and great pub ’The Lazy Trout’ is within walking distance. Tittesworth Reservoir and Hen Cloud / The Roaches great for walks. Would definitely return.

Lovely family run site, clean and well maintained. Most people follow and respect the rules. We were unlucky on our first night (lower field) that a group in campers set up a party, being extremely loud until 1pm ignoring rules, however the owner did come down and explain it to them again and it stopped. All other campers were lovely and friendly. The following night was much better. Lovely walks along the canal and river with easy access to Shugborough estate so perfect for a few nights of local exploring. If you enjoy fishing you can set up along the canal for a few hours direclty off the site. The canal side garden centre with cafe and shop is a small walk up the road and the Clifford Arms pub the other. A local Spar shop is also within an easy walk with Alid 10 mins away by car. Everything was very reasonably priced and perfect for a short trip away. Thank you to the owners.

If you are looking for a peaceful, scenic place to pull up for the night in a campervan, Chrome Hill Campers near Hollinsclough is an absolute gem. Capped at just five pitches, it gives you all the quiet and privacy you could ask for without feeling overcrowded.
The shared toilet and shower block is modern, piping hot, and kept exceptionally clean. There is also a fresh water station, chemical disposal point, and outdoor dishwashing area.

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.
