Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Location - conveniently close to both Bakewell and Buxton with ample walking and hiking nearby.
Disliked: Facilities - there's a big sign on the gates saying to call a number before proceeding, which when called we were advised that the top field is "destroyed" and we "might get stuck" driving in, or we could go down to the bottom of the field which is in better condition, shaded more from the wind, but we'd have to walk to the toilets and showers. (We chose the bottom as the top field was appalling). We found a small toilet block next to the bottom field which had no running water or toilet flushes, and worst the entire building was caked in black mould which the owners had left a bottle of "anti mould" cleaner in to treat with - clearly they knew. If these toilets had an 'out of order' sign on, we'd never have known or gone in but to see that was frightening. Then to have to walk up the steep hill every time we wanted to go to the toilet or to have the queue for the single shower which was lukewarm at best and barely trickled out, we considered just going to a hotel for the night until we found somewhere else to camp for the rest of our trip.

From the manager: Thank you for your review Tom The bottom toilet block was out of order at the time of your visit due to it being the beginning of the season and we hadn't prepared for the awful weather we received in march / April , unfortunately we have no control over the weather but we tried to accommodate everyone that was due to arrive The toilet block in the normal camping field is cleaned multiple times a day sorry for the inconvenience caused but the matter has now been resolved
Good campsite with loos a shower and great views
