Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked: Location is great, it is just off the road but it doesn't feel like it. There's good walking to derwent reservoir. The campsite is clean and well looked after, including toilets snd showers. There's a pub right next to it, we didn't eat there but had one drink.. it is quite expensive but it's very friendly. We will definitely be back.
Disliked: Could do with a shop, says it has one but it has closed down.

Powered grass and earth tent site
Liked: Fabulous and well maintained individually pitches with stunning views. Friendly and very helpful owner who showed us to the pitch. Site was so easily accessed from the main road. All amenities to hand with clean showers and toilet block. Stayed two nights and our dogs were welcomed too. Privacy fencing and hedges made the pitch more exclusive
Disliked: The unavoidable noise from the road, which may decrease as the plantings grow.

Liked: Owner was friendly. Good pitch and facilities. Reasonably priced and well maintained site.
Disliked: This is our second visit to the campsite, lovely site however on both occasions music was being played well past 12am, along with the proximity to the main road, if you’re a light sleeper, possibly not the best site for you as we did struggle, but do appreciate this is something out of the sites control.
