  • 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.

Helen B.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked The location is in the Peak District and close to Buxton.

Disliked There was only one working shower which was absolutely filthy when we arrived though the owner did clean it later. Only one of the toilets had a working light in it and the light bulb had also gone in the portacabin that had the washing up sink in it. It was like that the three days we were there. There was also no soap in any of the toilets. You had to put a pound coin in the shower and then had 4:30 mins to shower. The water ran hot and cold and there was no heating in the portacabin. When we arrived we were allocated a pitch where the electricity didn’t work so I had to call the owner and he did direct us to the next pitch that had a working hook-up. If the facilities had been better I don’t think I would have minded paying £5 per day for the awning and £10 per day electricity.

From the manager: Was not going to respond to your review
Been advised to be professionally when responding to reviews from fake royalty but i will .Bulb went out end of the world ? Bulbs do go out you do know that dont you Only one shower working how many did you need they were filthy but they were claened... no truth is they were clean we clean twice a day paying £1 was painful part for you ?You wanted heating in portcabin they are small and basic purpose built by professional British company washbasin cabin is tiny for wash the pots you want heating in there I suppose really you wanted air-conditioning like other camping sites we do get few odd ??????
we get plenty repeat campers fair criticism we listen to now to be fair and honest people like you will find problems in Buckingham Palace guaranteed
WE ADVERTISE SMALL BASIC CAMPSITE IT IS CLEAN AND TIDY IT IS NICE UNLIKE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

Facilities shocking. Neighbours were lovely!

Vicky R.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Nice and flat.

Disliked On arrival there wasn’t anyone there to meet me, nothing to say where to go. Had to call the man. Another couple at same time, they realised the electric box wasn’t working. Id only put my ground sheet down by now. The lady said she’s contacted the owner and he’d be here in half hour so I waited. In this time, I went to look at the facilities. OMD! The toilets were grubby all in the lid and hinges, the shower - I wouldn’t wash my dog in there if I had one! The tray was all brown, stained. The sealant around the edge of the tray was also brown. Having paid £120 for 3 nights you were then expected to pay for the dirty shower as well. I actually went to the site next door and paid them £20 to use their facilities. The owner arrived, said to use another pitch, asked had I seen the toilets? I told him they were disgusting. He asked if anyone had used them, I said no, just disgusting. Next day his son was there. I was talking to the other guests that he was. They told him what I’d said about the toilets. He tried to say he cleans them three times a day! Not the lids he doesn’t! Actual bowl was ok, but the rest was not good. Wish I’d gone back to take pictures now. Lady next to me had a shower, had to come back for another £1 as it ran out on her. The men I spoke to also told me they saw rats by where the peacocks live. Again - not good!

From the manager: You are the person who won £800 on lottery and decided to try camping
You were trying to put up a rent in heavy rain ?
You went to next campsite they refused to give you a pitch they had pitches available why I wondr why
People in caravan next to you said to me expect a bad review pal she is not ???
When I pointed you in the right electric point your attitude then told me straight away what to expect you and other pitch next to you were of same mentality
It's OK we are use to people like you being unfair

From the manager: You are very misleading
It's shocking
Your text I still have copy of text you sent me
and this is exact copy of your message as follows

We've had to leave we have developed a water leak and don't want to risk flooding the motor home !!!!

May I ask reasons for being dishonest !
Is it something to do with my colour or nationality
Because off people like you I have decided to sell the site

Not the best

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.
