What customers say
Pitches are consistently praised for their large size and excellent privacy. Many appreciate the quiet atmosphere and the location's suitability for walks and exploring the Peak District. However, a significant number of reviews highlight the lack of on-site facilities (toilets, showers) and the associated cost, with some feeling it is overpriced. The site is described by some as needing general tidying and maintenance.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Peaceful site ,very large pitches and very private with hedges all round each pitch which is good for our dog .Nice walk around the fishing ponds and then to the pub .Had a breakfast sandwich at the pondside cafe which was lovely, recommend the cafe .
Disliked Not really a dislike just something ,I wanted to do a spot of fishing but the two lakes right next to the site are not for fishing ,maybe stock lakes I'm not sure ,so I didn't fish as the other lakes were a bit of a walk for me with my tackle ,plus they were very busy .Pity because the two unused were lovely and peaceful, would have been great to cast a line in .

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked We found the camp site great. Shame there is no toilet that was a problem for us. The fishing was also great. We wouldn't go back unless they have a toilet.

Perfect for a quiet break

Liked We had a great weekend here. So peaceful. Each pitch is private. The walks around the lakes are lovely. Looking forward to booking again and trying out the cafe.

Great quiet stop for the self contained
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The pitches at this site are amazing. Unusually large with hard standing, a large grassed area and high hedges making them feel very secluded. Each pitch has an electric hook up and a water tap. Most are fairly level. We did use ramps but could have got away without them.
Great location with walks directly on site around the fishery.
It was very quiet with only a couple of other campers.
Adults only but dogs are allowed on leads. There are no facilities for dogs.
There are no facilities on site so you need to be self contained. No showers, toilets, washing up area or grey waste disposal. This is made clear when booking. There is an Elsan point which looks quite new.
Joanne was very helpful and responsive to messages.
Disliked Not really a dislike - just a comment for the owners.
It wouldn’t take much to turn this from a good site to an excellent site. The bin situation was confusing. Lots of bins in one place, but nothing labelled for recycling.
A grey waste disposal point would lengthen the amount of time people can stay.
The map on site doesn’t make clear where it’s ok to go. Signs which had fallen down appeared to ask walkers to not go beyond certain points, but when we enquired it was ok to walk along the rough road.
Obviously the addition of toilets - which there are adjacent to the site but not for campers use - would also increase the popularity of the place. We liked it though and would come again for a day or two.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked We love this site. It’s clean and well maintained with water and electric on enclosed pitches.
It’s in walking distance to a very friendly village with two excellent pubs/restaurants which is soon too be three and a great cafe by the fishing lakes. All dog friendly.
