What customers say
Nice quiet spot in the bush, with super friendly staff. Toilets/showers are a cracker – clean and modern! Good for the kids and the dog. Some sites are a bit uphill and a bit of a trek to the loos, but it's generally spacious, clean and a ripper place to chill out.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Fantastic stay , cosy , clean and modern and staff are all lovely.
Woodland Premium lodge (hot tub, pet friendly)
Liked We arrived and there was Extra decorations around the site for Christmas period including lights and tree in the cabin which a lovely suprise ! The design of the cabin was excellent , modern and stylish and great storage , every space has been used effectively. Blankets and beds were comfy and everything was cleaned to a high standard . Hot tub had been warmed for arrival and loved that it had a hut and veranda so you could still use it if the weather turned , found this a game changer as many places we've stayed the hot tub hasn't had any coverage , this also helped make it feel very cosy and private. The grounds are stunning Lots of wildlife walks and forest to explore. The site has a little shop selling pizza , ice cream , sweets and basic essentials including BBQ lighters items etc.
Disliked Everything was provided in regards to little milks ,tea, sugar Washing liquid etc but only thing I missed was some shower gel in the shower . Most places usually have this also and was the only tiny tiny thing I could mention in regards to improvement.

Great stay, great price.
Luxury Woodland lodge (hot tub)
Liked Loved that the cabin kept nice and toasty, I loved the Christmas decorations added a nice little touch. Hot tub is secluded and makes it more private.
Disliked Suggestion possibly some bath mats and where the hot tub area was it could have been kept a bit more clean, understandable it may be harder maintain with it being outside.

We are pleased that you enjoyed your time with us, we did work hard to create a Christmas theme through the park and will definitely do something again next year the feedback has been positive. We do hope that we can give a warm welcome back in the future.
Thank you for the comments regarding mats we will look into this and sorry about the outside we do tidy frequently but the weather is not always kind often the outside areas do revert back to being untidy, we keep the grounds surrounding the lodges as natural woodland, we will continue to think of ways to resolve this.
Many thanks the Riddings wood team.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Showers and toilets clean. Pitches well spaced out although we did get stuck in mud - site manager kindly loaned hubby a shovel to dig us out. Nice location for cycling down to canal and reservoir -I guess lovely in the spring/summer.
Sold Calor gas in shop - good price. Indian takeaway van came NYE excellent food 10 mins walk to 2 local pubs in Riddings. A nice couple of days
Disliked Some Sloping pitches - need wedges and mats to get off if muddy

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us on park and took advantage of the areas around the park. We hope that we can give you a warm welcome back in the future.
The grounds have been seasonally wet with the rain we had early December which was relentless please be reassured that the grass areas recover and dry very quickly.
Thank you from the Riddings wood team

Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked We decided on Derbyshire for our seasonal break with friends in our campervan. This park is between two villages, and is very quiet. The site itself is near to the main road, but we did not hear traffic, and next to a wood. Very peaceful, lovely views and not overlooked by others on the park at this time of the year. The facilities were great too - with hot showers, clean toilets and washing up facilities, and conveniently located waste disposal on the site. The shop is great too! And while there are bus stops outside the site, we found Uber an ideal way to get to nearby Ripley.

Great views and a lovely welcome….
Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site
Liked Lovely views from the site over the valley, friendly team on arrival, toilets and showers clean and warm during winter. Pubs with walking distances, great walks on the doorstep. Fully serviced pitch was good and flat.
Disliked I can imagine the road way way would be a bit muddy when it’s wet, the ramp up to the easy access men’s toilets and showers can be treacherous when it’s wet and icey.
