  • Valley site a mile from the Peak District town of Buxton
  • Surrounded by woodland and with a gorge and viaduct at one end
  • Play area on site; half an hour's walk from the town centre
Travelling types, move Buxton to the top of your list… This Derbyshire spa town and gateway to the Peak District is only a mile away from Lime Tree Holiday Park – it'll take you five minutes to drive or half an hour to walk into the town centre from this handy base. The site is in its own valley in a Special Landscape Area, surrounded by farmland and with a wooded limestone gorge and old railway viaduct at one edge. (Maps, brochures and sheets of information on local attractions are at the Lime Tree reception, or ask one of the helpful staff for advice on things to see and do.) Facilities on site include an adventure playground where kids can let off steam and an ice block freezing facility so that you can look forward to a chilled drink after a long day out adventuring. The site also has a microwave where you're welcome to heat babies’ or toddlers' food and a gas cylinder exchange service. Among the amenities are a modern toilet block (in the centre of the field, no less), showers and a washing-up area.

What customers say

This well-maintained campsite boasts exceptional, modern toilet and shower facilities, praised for their cleanliness. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, beautiful views, and convenient location for exploring Buxton and the Peak District, with many noting a pleasant walk into town. While the majority of reviews highlight a positive experience, some campers mention that the main camping field is on a slope, which can be challenging for pitching.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked Incredibly clean and quiet campsite in a visually stunning setting. Showers and toilet facilities were modern, clean, warm and even had music! Friendly staff and well keept grounds too. I would very happily stay here again!

Disliked Nothing. As an 'even better if', it would be great to offer recycling bins too!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked Amazing campsite.
The woman at reception was absolutely amazing, so kind and chatty. The toilets were always clean and there was plenty of them. Park onsite. The farm shop is also worth a look. I previously read a review complaining about not being allowed music, however, I did not experience this issue. Very laidback with the rules which I did not expect having read the rules. Probably the nicest and cleanest facilities I’ve ever seen when camping. Also, is very close to the town making it a nice walk or a very quick drive.

Disliked Very little to say. The main thing I did not like was being asked what sized tent I was bringing and being told a max of 3m x 3m. This was not an issue when i arrived on site but almost made us not book this campsite as my tent is bigger than the max size. I also think it would’ve been nice if there were bbqs/campfires you could borrow.

Liked Toilets and showers were clean and well kept. Campsite was quiet overnight. Close to Buxton town centre. Close to many Peak District sights and hikes. Staff on sight were friendly. Nice view of the aqueduct and gorgeous sunsets.

Disliked Camping field was a pretty steep hill.

Liked Great facilities, lovely staff, the toilets were very clean, and radio on all of the time, which was a nice touch! The park was fab. Lovely games room and laundry. Some nice pitches. A farm shop attached was amazing! Loads of local info. Lovely views and position.

Disliked The free for all pitches meant that when we arrived it was hard to pitch due to others strange pitching choices!
Also we couldn't work out how to access the baby change/disabled toilet

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked Lovely receptionist. Pizza van on the Friday night and cake stall on Saturday. On the right side of the tenting field, lovely view of the bridge. Had a paraglider above us for some of our stay too. Really good facilities on site, very clean. Morrisons s short walk from site, and the walk to Buxton centre about 20 minutes.

Liked Really great, reception staff and ground keepers were really friendly. As a group of teenagers I was slightly worried before we arrived that we would be judge due to stereotypes but everyone was really lovely and we had a fantastic time. If you're wanting a fun camping trip with friends I definitely recommend this place. We arrived on a Wednesday and it was very quiet. By Friday the field had filled up but everyone there was very friendly and this even led to us making new friends. The toilet and shower block was very clean. We have absolutely no complaints about our stay!

Local attractions

Like Bath in the south, Buxton was founded as a spa town by the Romans and became popular in Georgian times for the supposed health-giving properties of its spa water. Fill up your water bottle at St Anne's Well in front of the Crescent, then go on a Buxton tour to see its Georgian architecture and smart landscape, including the ornamental gardens at the Pavilion, and the Buxton Opera House, the highest in the country. The Peak District as a whole is full of market towns stuffed with local produce and interesting attractions: go to Bakewell for the essential eponymous tart; Leek for Rudyard Lake and the steam train; Ashbourne for a couple of hundred listed buildings, and fellow spa town Matlock Bath. If you don’t mind travelling a bit further, Sheffield and Manchester can both be reached in an hour to an hour and a quarter. Also nearby is Castleton with Norman Peveril Castle and four show caves; if going underground is your thing, also check out the caves at Poole’s Cavern just outside Buxton. And there’s caving (and climbing) aplenty all around the Peak District National Park, along with stacks of outdoor pursuits like hot air ballooning, gliding, watersports and biking the Tissington and Manifold trails.
