Geocache Description:

The third annual Summer's End Camping Event

Announcement Friday 10th August. Lots of space left on the campsite if you still want to book.

Summer’s End Camping is back for the third year.
From Friday 31st August until Sunday 2nd September.

This time Summer’s End is being held in Bilsthorpe, Nottinghamshire.

I have found a GeM of a site for us this year. A chance to have one last camping event before the kids go back to school and the long run up to Christmas begins. Hopefully the weather will still be decent enough to spend some long days caching and having fun.
The site offers good hard standing as well as grass pitches, electric hook ups are available on a first come first served basis. Tents, motor homes and caravans are welcomed.
The site is off the beaten track but with excellent views and nearby you have:~
Rufford Park
Clumber Park
Sherwood Forest
Bilsthorpe and Southwell Trails
Southwell Minster
Edwinstowe
White Post Farm
As well as a nearby small theme park to keep the kids amused
Facilities within a couple of miles radius include pubs, supermarkets and fast food outlets
There are plenty of well established caches within a couple of miles of the site including a good series on the Bilsthorpe and Southwell Trail
If you don’t want to camp for the weekend, pop in at any time to see us where the logbook will be available for you to sign. Please note that the site charge a small fee of £1.00 for visitors. This is a small site which has had great reviews on various websites over the last few months.
