Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely campsite. Lovely views. Fabulous that takeaways deliver to site! & A good spot for exploring different places. We will definitely be coming back.
Disliked This isn't a dislike - but just a 'this would have made it perfect.'
The play park could just do with a baby swing or a sand pit for the littler ones.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Really lovely site. Owners very friendly and facilities clean.
Little shop on site where you can order pastries to collect the following day at 9.30am - sausage rolls and croissants delicious.
Right next door to Riddings wood where you walk to Codnor reservoir - lovely walk.
Within walking distance of 2 pubs. Can recommend “the thatch” it’s a 10 minute walk.

Anonymous Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Owners were friendly, the site was clean and there were plenty of bins. Lovely woodland walk next door.
Disliked This site is very busy and extremely cramped, ok if you don’t mind that.
There are over 100 pitches here and only 1 toilet block which is very small unit and contains only 4 showers and 6 toilets, it is situated at the top of the site so it would be a fair trek if you’re situated at the bottom of the site.
We stayed here for 2 nights on route to the north, once on the way there and once on the way back. On the first stop there was no toilet roll etc in the toilets however there was on the second stop.

We would not return
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Team were helpful and friendly. Tried their best to keep campers happy and the site clean.
Disliked Pitchws were assigned. Too busy, busiest campsite we've ever been to, for the size of the campsite, there were not enough ablutions.
Tents on top of one another with no space or privacy.

Ruhiger, empfehlenswerter Platz!
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Idyllischer, weitläufiger Campingplatz. Die Stellplätze sind sehr groß, manchmal etwas uneben. Wir sind sehr freundlich empfangen worden und konnten tatsächlich den Platz wechseln, damit wir die Tür an unserem deutschen Wohnwagen öffnen konnten. Die Sanitäranlagen sind relativ neu und sauber. Es gibt kein W-Lan.
Die Anfahrt ist durch die engen Dorfstraßen etwas Tricky.
Disliked Leider gibt es keinen Pub mehr in der Nähe indem man Essen kann.

Overall we enjoyed our stay but very steep in places.
Anonymous Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Showers clean, nice walks to go with the dogs. Great that takeaway deliver. Nice pitch with close amenities. Very welcoming.
Disliked Hand dryers not working in the toilet from the Sunday till Friday when we left.
Desperately need to fill large holes in as you come to the barrier. More 5mph signs needed as there were many cars going above that speed causing a lot of dust on the route through the park. Some people not adhering to dogs on leads.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us, we welcome all feedback.
We see that you enjoyed your stay but have decided not to return to visit us in the future.
We are sorry about the dust on site, we have had no rain in over a month and extreme temperatures which has dried everything.
We do take dogs not on leads very seriously and every guest is told that dogs must be on a lead at all times during check in, when we observe dogs not on leads guests are asked to leave as this a basic rule on site and every site through the country. it was a shame that you did not call us to let us know and we could have taken immediate action.
We are sorry about the hand dryers this job is out for the electrician to come with parts that are on order, we are hoping to resolve this in the near future.
Thank you for all your feedback and we wish you well in your future travels, from the Riddings Wood team.
