Lovely site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches With Grass Sep 2023 Lovely, clean and well kept site. Ideal location next to the river. Opposite the Manifold Inn and a bus stop right outside the campsite. Went on the bus to Hartington and also you can travel to Buxton or Ashbourne.
Great location and nice facilities
Extra Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Meadow Field) Sep 2023 Very good facilities for a campsite, however, shower drains overflowed on the last day.
Friendly staff, good location and a pub within walking distance. The shop had useful food and supplies.
Peaceful
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches With Grass Sep 2023 Peaceful weekend and fantastic weather. The pub opposite is great for food.
Lovely site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches With Grass Sep 2023 We stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay. We had a hard standing pitch next to the river with room for an awning to pitch on the side grass. The site overall was clean and tidy and the toilets/shower blocks are modern and kept clean to a good standard.
There is a shop onsite for any essentials you might have forgotten. You can rent a firepit for £10 with a £20 SD plus purchase for the wood. They also had food vans both nights, fish and chips Friday and pizza oven on the Saturday.
Location was great, we walked the Hartington circular walk with the dog, the only bit we didn't like was walking on the main road for a bit but it was quiet when we went out.
Overall, a lovely stay and would go back and recommend.
Lovely location
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches (No Awnings) Aug 2023 Great base for visiting beautiful surrounding areas. Great amenities available. Close proximity to pub, which was handy.
Really enjoyed our stay!
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Meadow Field) Aug 2023 Me and my husband just returned from our weekend here and we had a lovely time!
We arrived late on Friday due traffic/bad accidents. We did try and ring but we got no answer, but checking in was okay when we got there.
We were on the field that was just next to the campsite. It was big, flat and plenty of space for people, it was a bit of a walk to the toilet as that's next to reception and the Wi-Fi didn't stretch to that field (something I think should be mentioned, as we booked this campsite for the Wi-fi) but that wasn't a problem. There is a lovely pub right next to it that had good internet and did some amazing dinner/breakfast would really recommended.
We spoke to the owner on our last day and he was so lovely, really talkative and you could how much he enjoyed running the campsite.
The only downside we had was there was a 10pm - 8am noise curfew and it seemed a lot of people on that field didn't respect it. There was music, people talking loudly at around 11pm, which was quite unfair considering there was a lot of kids there; me and my husband don't go to bed early but the music kept us up for a long time. This isn't the owners fault, that's just camping and being near other people, so next time we come back, we will choose to stay in the closer field. Also it seems that the campsite is in the path of air traffic as quite a few airplanes would fly over quite a bit, so this might bother you if you're a light sleeper. The second field is also next to the main road, so you get woken up to tractors and cars driving past - again, none of this is the campsite's fault.
All the toilets were clean, the washing up/water facilities were clean and good and the shop is fairly priced. The location is good if you want to adventure around the Peak District, the Dragons Back/Chrome Hill are about 10 minute drive away, Mam Tour is about 20 minutes away, Thor's Cave is close by, Bakewell is also close by, it's a good location if you can drive. Overall would love to stay again we had a pleasant and comfortable stay!
Camping by a pub
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Meadow Field) Aug 2023 Had a lovely 2 night stay here. Location is great and being next to a pub was a massive plus. The food there was lovely and reasonably priced. Would definitely return.
Absolutely 1st class campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Meadow Field) Aug 2023 Absolutely 1st class campsite with so much pitch variation, from riverside, hill top, meadows, all centred around an excellently laid out amenities block with a small shop.
The vanners looked very happy in the central hardstanding area, and the posh campers seemed to be loving the electric hook-up pitches. Water is very available at all corners of the site, grass is just right, green and lush but not too long.
Right across the road from a fantastic pub for beer and food, dogs and kids are welcome.
Amazing views, pleasant local short walks, and a great centre for cycling, walking, just being out in the country, or visiting the fabulous villages and attractions of The White Peak. Easy access from M6, A50, M1, A52 and A515 Ashbourne to Buxton roads.
Really hospitable hosts and despite being a large busy campsite, we never felt crowded out.
