  • Peaceful family-friendly spot in the Peak District National Park
  • Hiking, rock climbing, potholing and caving within 30 minutes
  • A 45-minute drive from the rides and rollercoasters at Alton Towers
Stunning countryside, spectacular views and a whole lot of get-up-and-go… If that ticks everything off your getaway wishlist, make tracks for Newhaven Holiday Park, a family-friendly site in the tiny hamlet of Newhaven 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire's Buxton. Inside the Peak District National Park, Newhaven is a top spot for energetic types: the High Peak trail passes less than a mile from the site, and you can pick up the Tissington Trail at nearby Hartington Station (or start from Ashbourne, 20 minutes away, to do the whole thing). If you’re of an even more active persuasion – with a daredevil streak perhaps – there’s rock climbing, potholing and caving half an hour away in the High Peak area of the park. You don’t have to go clambering over hills and dales to get a good look at the Peak District though: this site is in a secluded spot, with views over the countryside and plenty of trees and shrubs for shelter. Kick back and relax among all the greenery while the kids run riot in the playground. Ready for something to munch? For anything more substantial, pull a chair up to the table at one of the many restaurants within 20 minutes of Newhaven.

What customers say

The site receives consistent praise for its excellent, clean, and modern toilet and shower facilities, a well-maintained children's play area, and its friendly and helpful staff. Many visitors found it to be a good base for exploring the Peak District, with a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. However, a recurring concern is noise from the nearby main road, particularly at night, and some tent pitches are described as sloping, which can be uncomfortable. Some guests also experienced issues with toilet roll replenishment and the availability of hand soap.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Site was in a good location, lots of trails near by which is great! very modern facilities good size pitches

Disliked Toilets were filthy and the smell was putrid, we’re not cleaned for 2 and a half days. Empty toilet rolls, dirty floors and sinks. Smell makes them unbearable. Rang office multiple times to no answer and spoke to new haven to see when toilets would be cleaned to no response. Very disappointed because we would definitely have visited again as it’s in a great spot and nice pitches but this was the worst bathroom experience we have ever had at a site

Recommend to friends Visit again

The site was let down by the cleanliness of it's facilities.

Linda D.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Good facilities, washing up area, large showers, plenty of sinks and toilets in ladies

Disliked The facilites although really clean when we arrived on Saturday were absolutely filthy by the time we left on Monday morning. For a large site the cleanliness of all the touring facilities was not acceptable, more care should be taken by the site to ensure that the facilities met required standards at all times.
There was quite a lot of noise from the main road that runs just the other side of the hedge of the campervan area.

Local attractions

This is Austen country, so you can barely turn around without tripping over some stately pile of bricks… If you fancy gliding around as if you own the place, adopt an air of wealth and superiority and head to Kedleston Hall, Sudbury Hall (with its Museum of Childhood), Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and The Old Manor, all within roughly half an hour’s drive of Newhaven, then chauffeur yourself over to Melbourne Hall, just under an hour away. Hols with kids are pretty easy in these parts too, as there’s absolutely oodles to distract them with within an hour of the site: make your way to Matlock for the Heights of Abraham alpine cable car and Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park (and the Crich Tramway Museum, Peak District Mining Museum and Masson Mills for some grownup sanity). Also get along to Buxton for treetop adventuring at Go Ape; underground exploration at Poole’s Cavern, and Alton Towers for some adrenaline-fuelled rides. If traipsing around on land isn’t really floating your boat, spend a day (or two) at Carsington Water, less than half an hour away, for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, powerboating and fishing, or head to WaterWorld (just outside Stoke-on-Trent) for some indoor waterpark splashing around.
