  • Small site in the Peak District National Park
  • A short drive from the famed spa town of Buxton
  • A 40-minute drive from Alton Towers; donkey sanctuary next door
Peaceful times in the Peak District National Park are pretty much a given at scenic and small Greystones Nawab Camping and Touring, with its first-rate views over green countryside. But add in proximity (an easy seven miles) to the famed Peak District spa town of Buxton and it's fairly safe to say that holidays of a highly relaxed nature are very much on the cards… Those of a more active disposition (alongside spa days, this is also recommended around these parts) have hiking, walking, cycling, pony trekking, climbing and paragliding all close by, as well as a Go Ape centre within a mile for woodland antics. For family days, the caves of Poole’s Cavern are just outside Buxton, the Peak Wildlife Park is half an hour away and Alton Towers is within 40 minutes. A donkey sanctuary is next door to the site. Greystones Nawab is a grassy and peaceful site in a wildlife haven, and is motorcycle, family and dog friendly. It has showers, three toilets, a washing-up area and charging facilities. Wifi is available near the main house. Please note that the site keeps peacocks and rare-breed chickens.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The area the site was in was beautiful

Disliked: The shower block and toilet was filthy and needed a good clean Thank goodness we was in our caravan and managed with just a wash for the weekend as there was no way I could of used the shower The bins were all over flowing where you put your rubbish and the site only had five caravans on and three tents so it wasn’t even busy

Sam H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Great location, the site has potential to be good, however there were a few factors that let it down, the site needs to be better maintained, the toilet lids were off on 2 of the toilets making them challenging to flush and everything was extremely dirty like it hadn't been cleaned it weeks, understanding we've had a very wet winter but this does not leave an excuse for the toilets and washing up areas to be so dirty. We are used to basic but not quite the mess of the toilet and shower facilities, a real shame.

Disliked: Badly maintained

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Very sorry to read about your view Heavy rain last 3 weeks have created muddy field every where in the country also people going in out muddy with footwear but we still kept them clean and mopped up up to 4 times a day Also normal day we clean our toilets twice a day I have spent £20000 buying and installing the brand new facilities we had 12 pitches booked you are the only one who has complained yet when I asked if everything was OK you said great Sometimes i wonder why the odd person not being truthful some exaggerate and they twist I have spent £20000 on facilities For us to neglect them it does not make sense

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Leaving straight after pulling on site!!

Disliked: Couldn't use the site at all, other people were stuck in the mud with their vehicles, they were not happy with their Easter getaway at all. They told us the showers and toilets were beyond minging. The manager is very rude. We travelled alot of miles so I could visit my sick father over the Easter weekend, because there was not sufficient hard standing pitches we had to leave, my partner has been driving for 6hrs already at this point, the manager would not refund the full amount of a 3 night stay and electric which was £85. Times are hard for everyone, but it does not mean as a manager you can be rude and pointless blank refuse and refund!! DO NOT USE THIS CAMPSITE

Local attractions

Buxton (10 to 15 minutes' drive away) has plenty to do for all ages, including tours around its Georgian architecture and ambles around the award-winning Pavilion gardens. Shopping and nightlife are most plentiful around George Street, the Quadrant and Cavendish Arcade; for kids of a small size, a soft play centre is in town. Kids of all sizes should like going underground at Buxton's Poole's Cavern, a limestone cave surrounded by Buxton Country Park. Take a guided tour among the huge chambers of the caves to hear tales of the Stone Age people, Roman soldiers and medieval outlaws who used them; after that and above ground, there are woodland trails to wander, rabbits and woodpeckers to spot and – possibly of more interest to fatigued grownups – a café serving drinks and hot snacks. Another spa town – again possibly of more interest to fatigued grownups – is at Matlock Bath, 20 minutes' drive away.
