Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The amazing views from the non-electric field
The general organisation

Disliked More toilets and sinks would’ve been handy for the amount of people on the site
And a shelf or counter top to put your stuff next to the sinks
Perhaps a bigger freezer and it was jam packed
10/15 min walk to the local pub where we had a lovely meal

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very friendly wardens, informative and super easy process to check in.
Showers etc were in plentiful supply, very clean and warm too.
The location is really handy for many wonderful places in the Peak District, it’s well connected road wise but there isn’t traffic noise even though it’s close- fantastic!! Lovely views, and friendly fellow campers.

Disliked My minor gripe is a shower to stay on- they are push ones but you don’t get long. If you’ve got long hair like me it’s a pain.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We liked everything about this camp from our friendly welcoming to flat ground
The showers and washing up areas are spotless
There's absolutely nothing to dislike and we will return time and again (thankyou)

Disliked There was just one thing my partner never had WiFi or signal and hes the principal carer for his elderly momma bear and he likes to touch base with her twice daily phone calls if hes not around in person
Luckily I had so he was able to reach her on my phone however none of us are bothered about going off grid to be perfectly honest thats why we camp but just for that peace of mind in anycase im sure the camp owners would let us use their phone if needed be so it hasn't put us off

Liked Nice place, clean

Disliked Stated online fires aloud, they weren’t aloud…. only reason we came here. then spoken to very rudely by owner, wouldn’t recommend.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your review following your one night stay with us.

It still amazes us that despite all the media coverage on wild fires throughout the UK, that campers still arrive expecting to be able to use open fires/BBQs with no lids etc. On arrival you were told at great length how we had taken the decision to prohibit the use of open fires on the site whilst the exceptionally dry ground conditions continue. However, you decided that the rules did not apply to you and later that evening lit your fire pit. That is not demonstrating responsible behaviour during this period of drought. The wardens attended your pitch and after, what I would describe as a confrontational situation, you eventually extinguished your fire. Whilst we do generally allow open fires as advertised on our website, there are occasions where it is unsafe to allow these practices to continue and as stated in our Terms and Conditions, relating to Force Majeure.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The openness, no WiFi and seeing kids actually running around playing, the friendly staff, location

Disliked 6 amp electric, felt our pitch wasn't great for a tent as too uneven wavy, can imagine there are not enough showers or toilets when the site is full, but we had no problem.
