The Racecourse Retreat

Positiv LOVED this camp site.
The best faculties I've ever seen. Everything was clean, and kept on top of. Plenty of space to choose and pitch up. We will be returning. On site bar just topped it off nicely.

Positiv Great views lots of room.

Negativ Was there with my partner and disabled son. I had a leaking car radiator from the bad roads. I was fixing my car with a few other campers only a hour fix. Owner come to us in morning woke me and my son up and kicked us of his site 2 days early no refund. We was stuck miles from home my son in tears. Lucky a farmer near by offered us to stay for free on his land. Needs more Toilets on site. Lots of fires on hot windy night what's a worry. Steep bumpy drive in if u like your car be careful

Positiv Peace and quiet. Views were amazing ! Space, there were only 3 pitches taken on our whole field. Ladies toilets clean and even had toiletries in which was a lovely touch.
We had a lovely down hill walk to the village where there were several lovely pubs (there is a route across the fields) however it’s a long long way back up up up hill !
On site marquee/bar looked great gutted was closed when we there mid week !

Negativ Showers although very clean you have to push to keep on every few seconds which I get to save water but maybe a little extra time in between pressing (coming from someone either long hair rinsing shampoo off was difficult!) but great for quick freshen up !
Extra charge for dogs

Positiv Amazing setting, really well maintained, clean toilets, friendly staff.

Negativ Not enough toilets/showers for the size of the site (I did overhear them saying this would be changing in the coming years)

There were a few large groups on site which were noisy (rectified when they were spoken to by site owners)

Negativ Nothing.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Michelle
Thank you for your review.
We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
The dog exercise area is new for this year and it certainly seems to be a hit with out 4 legged visitors.
The walk down to Wirksworth is lovely isn't it, a stones throw from the site and lots of lovely little places to visit when you reach the bottom of the footpath.

Positiv Friendly site with beautiful views

Positiv Beautiful site with plenty of space. We were the last to arrive on a fully booked night and still got a lovely spot.
Love that there is a bar and food on selected nights. Super clean facilities and staff were lovely

Negativ They could do with a few more toilets, there was quite a large queue in the morning (but to note, we were there on a fully booked night)
