Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked 3 hours ago 8.7 491 reviews

Family park three miles from the Peak District town of Ashbourne
Seven and a half miles from Alton Towers
Indoor pool, licensed shop and picnic area

If you had to pick a Peak District place, you'd be displaying tiptop taste if you went for Ashbourne. For there are many whys: it’s at the southern tip of the Peak District and a gateway to the same; it leads straight on to the Tissington Trail, and it’s sevenish miles from the heady heights of Alton Towers. More? It's also been the site of a raucous game of football every Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday since medieval times; and (possibly related), one in every four of its buildings is or has been an inn or brewery. It's not a bit surprising that illustrious visitors in its past have included Bonnie Prince Charlie and Charles I, although they probably didn’t have time to stop off for a game of footie… Add to your list Ashbourne Heights (formerly known as Highfields Park), three miles from town, well placed to reach a range of market towns like Bakewell and Buxton, and with a good range of facilities and services to fire the family up. From the site you can reach the main sights, activities, landscapes and history of the Peak District: too many to go into here, but do bring your camera. Ashbourne Heights has a heated indoor pool, and generously-sized pitches with room for awnings, gazebos and a car parked alongside. Other facilities at the park include a licensed shop, picnic area, launderette, covered washing-up areas, showers, toilets and a baby changing area. All in all, a pretty good Peak District pitstop…

What customers say

This well-maintained campsite is praised for its excellent location, direct access to the Tissington Trail, and friendly, helpful staff. Visitors enjoyed the clean facilities, including the indoor swimming pool and spacious pitches. Glamping pods and bell tents received positive mentions for comfort and cleanliness. While the site is generally quiet and peaceful, some noted it can be busy at weekends. A few minor issues were raised, such as the Wi-Fi signal and occasional cleaning concerns in communal areas. Overall, highly recommended for families and outdoor enthusiasts.

Liked Nice area with direct access to trails for walking and biking

Disliked Toilets and showers are not good. On Sunday there was no toilet roll, dirty nappies on the floor and disgusting toilets from 6am untill lunch time.
Needs better facilities for camping
Feels like camping is not a priority for this site, and main focus is static caravans

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Good location - clean facilities

Disliked Over priced for a camp sit on a hill. Very far walk to toilets, limited availability in the swimming pool and no where to get a decent coffee in the morning

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The holiday park was well laid out and the facilities were really good. The kids loved the play park and the food served was very tasty.

Disliked The shop/reception could do with opening at 08:00 until 18:00 instead of 09:00 until17:00.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Although I didn't need it, the childrens play area was well thought out, had plenty for them to do and is large enough to cope with plenty of kids.

Availability of the indoor swimming pool

Disliked The casual camping field is on a reasonable slope set away from the facilities, it can take quite a while to walk to them, especially if camping on the far side of the field.
The facilities themselves are insufficient for the amount of people camping and in the pods. There are only 4 showers and 5 cubicles. The showers don't stay on long enough, even if you are trying to save water. There are no seating or shelves in the shower cubicles, just a hook for all your clothes and stuff.
There is only one water tap on the camping field, set at one corner.
The security barrier is never lowered, even during the night.
There is very limited lighting so walking at night can be treacherous.
Toilets were not cleaned often enough and covered in toilet roll, when there was any.
I am sorry to say but this site is not set up for casual camping at all, it appears that it is set up to be a money making exercise only

Recommend to friends Visit again

A nice place to stay and definitely recommend for a few nights

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked A really nice place to spend some time
Great swimming pool
good shop and facilities

Disliked Shouldn't put child friendly bin in the play area where food is consumed

Seems like a good idea but the open bin attracts hundreds of wasps.

Bin should be outside the play area and fully sealed.

Could do with a toilet block at the top tent pitch.
Nothing special needed just a toilet as can be a trek if needed at night.

Local attractions

The amount of antics available at Alton Towers near Ashbourne Heights might turn grownups grey among the thrill rides, river rapids and other heady highlights of the country’s biggest theme park. You’ll ensure Very Good Behaviour Indeed if you take the family on to Gulliver’s Kingdom at Matlock Bath, designed to keep all ages busy/tired out for later (beware the nerf guns). Other energetic Peak District pastimes include watersports, laser tag, climbing, caving and zipwiring; find out where’s what at Ashbourne’s tourist information centre, which is practised in all things Peak. More peacefully, the Peak District has a high amount of culture and heritage to explore: National Trust houses and estates, the old spa towns of Matlock and Buxton, museums of all sorts, prehistoric cave paintings, three vintage railways and aeons more. Lead mining was a main industry here from Roman times until recently and info on the industry can be mined at the Peak District Mining Museum at Matlock. Bolsover Castle, founded in the 12th century, has regular events to tempt the kids, such as exhibitions on torture for the gruesomely minded, an indoor riding school, and a theatrical room just for little darlings.
