About Little Oak Camping
You'll find this relaxed campsite tucked away near the market town of Retford in North Nottinghamshire, deep in the heart of Robin Hood country. Quiet and secluded, the site is surrounded by fields and a beautiful wild garden complete with a large pond with goldfish. It's a lovely spot, with plenty of outdoor space for kids to play hide and seek or kick around a football, but has some more private areas for a romantic getaway. It is quite a small site with only 17 pitches in total spread over two fields so you get lots of space. When you arrive you can camp anywhere on the site so you can choose your spot depending on your preferences. Maybe you want some shade under the trees or a quicker trip to the toilet block, it's up to you. There are lots of fire sites where you can light a fire with firewood for sale by the barrow load at a very reasonable rate - marshmallows to toast are included! You are also welcome to bring your own BBQs but hire is also available so you don't have to get your car sooty. For glamping, the Romany-style caravan offers everything you love about camping, with some glamour and home comforts thrown in. It has a delightful kitchen/living area which has a single sofa bed suitable for a little one and a double bed at the end. Linen, towels, fridge, heater, and essential kitchen and household items are provided. You will even be provided with a list of everything in the caravan to help you pack. This is a great experience for kids who love the quirky nature of it but is also a great venue for a couple's romantic getaway. Dogs and very welcome too, so be sure to make room for your four legged friends!
