What customers say
Pitches are spacious and well-maintained, with clean, modern facilities. The site is praised for its peaceful atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Fishing is a popular activity, and the on-site shop is convenient. Some guests noted pitches can be sloped and require levelling, and a few mentioned limited WiFi. Improvements to shower cubicle size and the number of facilities are suggested.

Lovely stay - thank you!
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Big sized pitch, secure site with a barrier operated by a key fob to get in and out. Very friendly lady in reception/shop who I think is the owner and lives on site. Very clean toilets and showers, and also dishwashing area. We drove into Belper (about 15 mins) which was a lovely little town with lots of nice coffee shops, pubs and even a farmers market on! Had a mooch about and also dropped on a family fun day at the rugby club. Thought the site was good value for money - not much in the very near vicinity but as we were in our caravan, that was no bother for us as we had the car!

Anonymous Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Campsite was ok and was an ideal spot for touring this area, loved the countryside all around. We spent four nights there and was happy with everything, although we didn’t use the toilets or showers so can’t comment on them.
Disliked I wouldn’t say disliked but wasn’t too happy about was that there were a number of caravans who obviously were related and were all together. The young children were playing football and other ball games in amongst the caravans and coming quite close to our caravan and the parents didn’t do anything. In most sites you are not allowed ball games near caravans. The families were very friendly so I didn’t complain.

From the manager: Thankyou Evelyn for leaving a review, sorry to read that you will not be returning
The five caravans booked with us separately on pitch up as they knew we did not take groups.
Any issues with them were quickly stopped and sorted, so you could enjoy your stay, i did regular walk rounds to ensure everyone was happy.
The caravans will not be back, i would have much preferred you to come to me, it may have stopped you giving us a bad review
