About Poplars Farm Site
This is the perfect relaxing break, just for adults, and set near Ashbourne, only ten minutes from Carsington Water. Access is easy thanks to the nearby A517. There are both grass and hardstanding pitches with electric, offering space for a maximum of five tourers and six tents. Please note that electricity is metered and is payable in addition to the pitch fee. If you fancy going totally hassle-free, choose from three tempting glamping pods. The pods offer cosy shelter with a fridge, kettle, microwave, toaster, utensils and TV. When you fancy rustling up a treat, use the BBQ outside or roast some treats over the fire pit or you may prefer to bring a camping stove to cook up something tasty outside in the gorgeous countryside. Each pod has a private shower and WC room in the nearby amenities block. Two of the three pods are dog friendly. Awnings are not permitted from October to April, and please use green chemicals.
Camping is from April until September. Touring and glamping pods are available all year round.
Facilities for campers and tourers include two toilets and a roomy shower, along with a washing up sink. Each pod has a private shower/WC room in the second amenities block. Free Wi-Fi is available and there are bus stops close by the site.
In the village just a ten minute walk away, you'll find the Black Horse Inn, an excellent pub serving food. There is also a farm shop in the village selling lovely local produce.

Wanted somewhere quiet to test out our new van, we were not disappointed. The site is small but spacious with beautiful views, pitches are set out in an arc shape, so no one's view is compromised. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming and took time to chat. The facilities are spotlessly clean and heated, with plenty of hot water. It's an easy walk into the village, where there are two excellent pubs, serving great beer and food. Despite the wet and windy weather, we had a great stay and would definitely go back again.

Lovely stay. Owners very friendly. Be aware of the potholes in nearby lanes! We tried to go to the reservoir, but the sat-nav took us along narrow roads and when we got to a turning, the road said 'no access to reservoir'. Apart from that, had a lovely quiet stay. Nice pub local, but be aware that there were no paths to walk on and a busy road. A little run down looking, but apart from that, it was great. We didn't use the facilities as used our own van. Good recycling options and doggie bin also.
Site's response
Thank you for your visit and we appreciate your feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay. We always strive to ensure visitors have a pleasant time and are looking for ways to improve the site. I agree the potholes down some of the narrow lanes locally are bad in places - the main roads to the reservoir and to our site are in much better condition and wider. We have a sheet explaining ways of getting to the Reservoir by road or foot. Satnav doesn't always help as you discovered! We understand the site is not looking it's best just now. The heavy rain over the winter and into spring means we have only just been able to mow this week. Also, fencing and gardening jobs are on hold for the same reason. Roll on better weather! Hope you have a great summer in your motorhome and thank you for your comments.

Things to do on site and in the Ashbourne area
You can start lovely walks from near site and there are tasty local pubs where you can reward yourself for the day's outing.
Just a couple of miles away is Carsington Water, fed by the River Derwent, the perfect place to try your hand at kayaking, sailing, fishing and more. Its tranquil surroundings are the perfect place for a relaxing bike ride too.
If you're a keen cyclist, take things a little further by hiring a bike nearby and hopping onto the Tissington Trail.
Or if you'd rather not get there under your own steam, an excellent bus network will take you to Ashbourne, Belper and the historic city of Derby every day except Sunday. By changing bus you can easily get to other places of interest, too.
