What customers say
This is a clean, well-maintained site, highly rated for families due to its excellent playground and spacious feel. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Facilities, particularly the toilet and shower blocks, are frequently praised for their cleanliness and modern amenities. While generally quiet, some guests noted road noise, particularly on pitches near the main road. A few guests experienced issues with uneven pitches and shower timers.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Friendly staff with good pitches and good location.
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Good camping and caravan park with access to electric pitch ups. A 20 min drive to Buxton and Bakewell. Has a shop on site with friendly and welcoming staff. There is a kids play park and a pizza delivery service between 12 and 3 in addition to a local pub about a 5 min drive away who serve food until 7:30pm. The campsite was quiet with no noise from neighbours.
Disliked No power sockets in the toilets for hairdryers and hair straighteners. The showers were nice and hot but you have to keep pressing them every 5 seconds. Take your own toilet roll as the toilets often ran out.

Would recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Overall a very well maintained site, friendly staff and excellent location
Would recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, I just hope they can get On top of toilet/shower block maintenance
Disliked Toilet/shower blocks weren’t cleaned regularly enough during our stay. They were only cleaned once during the 4 days we were on site and started to feel very unclean for a good few days before they were cleaned

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Extremely good for young familys. Facilities excellent and very clean.
Lots to do locally within driving distance too.
Disliked Not really the campsites fault - but something to be mindful of is the non-electric tent pitch locations are directly next to the main road (small row of trees and a small wall). This was noisy, even through the night, when we stayed.

A good park for self-catering camping.
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Really clean facilities, easy to use and eco-minded. The children's play area is really good! The site is easy to find and a short drive to everything we wanted to see.

Liked Great stay with family. Quiet little place with a nice small park for the kids. Staff very friendly and very clean. Would definitely recommend. Small commute to Bakewell and Matlock. Overall we had a great stay.

It has the potential but widely misses the mark. Wouldn’t recommend.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Proximity to YNOT festival was convenient for the stay.
Disliked The tourer and camping reception was not well signposted and difficult to find.
Water for the tourer area near the toilets is a trek…..it makes no sense not to have a tap on that side when there is clearly services for the bathrooms.
The bathrooms are modern but smell absolutely vile. The showers are very grubby, the water quickly rises in the drain, the button has to be held constantly, it stays on for 3 seconds.
There were 6 handwash dispensers and every one was empty. Toilet roll was not replenished and therefore missing in a few toilets. It felt like no one can be bothered. You shouldn’t have to report basics such as handwash and toilet roll, it should be on a rota.
The outdoor sinks were also unkempt and grubby. Needed a good clean.
It has the potential to be a lovely camping and tourer site but lacks care and attention and needs a little TLC to maintain what are actually decent facilities.
Was very expensive for a pitch that was not fully serviced.

Well kept site, hillside tent camps made it awful
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Facilities were relatively well kept.
Disliked The grass electric pitches were on a hill making it not only uncomfortable but impractical to set up a tent without everything sliding down the hill.
Signal was awful, no WiFi making it difficult to get google maps up
Toilets smelt awful, soaps were empty most of the time, toilet roll wasn’t getting filled either, showers ran for 3 seconds a time.
Tons of wasps
