Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Electric pitches and washing facilities where excellent. Reasonably priced.
Disliked: Showers were poorly installed so you had to leane over the tap to get under the water as the Showers where low powered wich normally isent a problem but due to being tall and the odd way the taps where installed made it awkward to shower. Also the shower block didn't have any curtains inside the stalls to prevent cloths/towls from getting wet from the showe or flour guard not block to prevent the same for shoes not a problem in single sex showers block only an issue in these unisex ones.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The pub was lovely and close, served good food. The campsite had electric hookup in some places. The site was quite small so to toilets where nice and close, facilities where clean but could do with updating like it's sister campsite the royal oak. Not a disabled friendly campsite. Fire pits are aloud and you can buy logs and hire the pit there. Free WiFi on site
Disliked: Toilet facilities could do with an update

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Convenient location for ease of travel to tourist spots and hiking routes The one time we met a member of staff they were helpful and informative, however we only saw him once in 4-5 days
Disliked: Near A515, almost constant 24hr noise Next to donkey sanctuary, noise issues again Very limited on site facilities, no where near enough toilets/showers/washing areas for the total number of pitches, fortunately it was quiet during our visit, definately not somewhere i would go if busy On site restaurant difficult to book, but only open half the week?? Wifi didnt reach our pitch, which wasn't that far compared to other pitches No onsite or nearby shops for basic food

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Clean toilets and showers, good size pitches with a fantastic view. The playground is great and the pizza was delicious. All together a well put together and convenient site. The staff were really helpful, attentive and knowledgeable- even offering to help put up the tent! Would 100% reccommend this site to families with small kids.
Disliked: As the site is at the top of a hill it can be quite windy, we would take a windbreak next time.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Overall I think this was the best campsite I’ve stayed on, toilets showers clean and well maintained water was hot, kitchen wash areas with hot water perfect, we had electric pitch which was great size for my 12 man air tent, beautiful views and the staff we great, pub staff very inviting and help me look for my son when he decided to wonder off with my dog around then camp when dark, we had a pleasant stay and will definitely come again next year.
Disliked: There was nothing to dislike

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Very quiet, relaxed and good facilities. There was wifi but pretty faint however we were not expecting it so it was a bonus. 30 minutes from Matlock where our activities were located. Food in the pub was great but there was a really long wait after being sat down and was tough to keep the kids entertained. Overall, we liked the stay and will re book next year.
Disliked: Shower strength in some of the showers was frustratingly weak and ran hot to cold too. Lots of bugs attracted to the lights..appreciate this is nature but maybe doors on a hinges would help as most were left open.
