Staden Grange

The welcome was great the site wasnt too busy so we were able to fully relax. Overall the facilities were ok

The kids play equipment was only really suitable for older children. Nothing for little ones.
The facilities were ok but the shower cubicles were small which is tricky when trying to cope with two children. No family facilities so was left just to me to sort our girls.

Convenient location near Buxton

Small toilet block, was fine for us in low season but can imagine it would get very full very quickly!

The area of Buxton is lovely and we enjoyed visiting the caves.

The approach to the site is truly awful and off putting. On arriving just 10 minutes before 1.00 check-in for our tent pitch we were greeted without a smile or any kind of friendly greeting from the manager. He just told us we had caught him 'on the hop' due to our early arrival. We thought he was going to turn us away, but he somewhat begrudgingly booked us in. Perhaps we shouldn't have bothered because the site is unorganized, over flowing bins, very rowdy large group of people taking up the whole of one corner who proceeded to play loud music and kick a football about. Then we couldn't sleep because of the planes flying over every five mins. Needless to say we will avoid this campsite in future, mainly due to the unfriendly and 'off' welcome from the manager and being on the airport flight path. It's also pretty dull being under so many trees as you don't have any lovely sun on your tent.

Helpful staff, small and well-kept grounds, modern and clean toilets and facilities. Good proximity to Buxton and Peak District attractions.

Pitch markings somewhat unclear and in some cases close to one another. Mostly nice location marred by proximity to industrial estate. Often noisy due to young children and families.

Loved the location of this campsite, just outside of Buxton. The campsite itself felt like you were in a wood. You are allocated a pitch on site, my daughter loved that we were right next to the playpark so she could swing and climb to her hearts content, unfortunately for the adults is also meant that we constantly had a lot of shouting kids running around our tent!
Showers - there's a £1 charge for 6mins in the shower, there are only 2 female showers and in the morning, there is always a queue. likewise for the toilet's. On the upside they were always clean and toilet roll was provided.

I felt the owners have tried to provide as pleasant a stay as they could and they were always onsite if needed. The downside is that the site is located near an industrial estate and also what felt like a flight path also so even in the dead of night there was a constant hum of a factory. Nothing the owners can do about it but just something to be aware of. The upside is that you do get a fantastic view of the stars at night which are spectacular.

A pleasant campsite with good access to North Derbyshire, Chatsworth's house and the village of Buxton & Casleton with their various caves and Bakewell and its famous pudding. A lovely short breack and I would recommend.

The location being so close to factory as there was a constant hum during the night.
Unsure why the owners charge £1 for the showers, seems pointless.

The camp site has a farm on site which is really fun, all the animals seem well looked after. Very friendly donkey. Good information about the animals too. It was free for an hour if you stayed in the campsite which we made the most of and appreciated.

Toilet block was clean, modern, warm and unique looking.

Nice onsite shop, very useful when we forgot our saucepan!

Friendly owner, very helpful and kind. Great free map at reception.

Nice being amongst the trees.

Not many toilets, only two female and two male. Same for showers. The shower was amazing on the first morning, powerful and warm. But sadly on the second morning was freezing. No hand soap for the majority of the stay. No loo roll at one point. Annoying very loud tap (broken?).

Didn't like the through road as people drove too fast through the campsite and late at night. Our pitch was right next to the road with no protection from the road eg fencing.

Sadly campsite was next to an industrial site and a chemical plant. Also could hear planes and the A515.

Tent was covered in tree sap, very sticky. The car was too.

Cafe only opened at 11am, so no breakfast :(

It was small but not cramped at all. The toilets and showers were very clean and warm.

The road up to the site, was very bumpy full of pot holes

A lovely campsite

Great welcome at reception, who was really helpful. Tent pitch was fine. Shower and toilet facilities are great (especially the radiator at 3.30 to warm myself up slightly).

Overall a good stay.

I booked more than one pitch but writing a second review to upload the photos!
