Burrs Manor Wild Camping

Liked: Location - conveniently close to both Bakewell and Buxton with ample walking and hiking nearby.

Disliked: Facilities - there's a big sign on the gates saying to call a number before proceeding, which when called we were advised that the top field is "destroyed" and we "might get stuck" driving in, or we could go down to the bottom of the field which is in better condition, shaded more from the wind, but we'd have to walk to the toilets and showers. (We chose the bottom as the top field was appalling). We found a small toilet block next to the bottom field which had no running water or toilet flushes, and worst the entire building was caked in black mould which the owners had left a bottle of "anti mould" cleaner in to treat with - clearly they knew. If these toilets had an 'out of order' sign on, we'd never have known or gone in but to see that was frightening. Then to have to walk up the steep hill every time we wanted to go to the toilet or to have the queue for the single shower which was lukewarm at best and barely trickled out, we considered just going to a hotel for the night until we found somewhere else to camp for the rest of our trip.

Liked: Nice views and scenery

Disliked: The field was too boggy for motorhomes/campervans to stay, I think this should be made clearer in the wetter months. Lost deposit as we had to move on.

Liked: The views

Disliked: Campsite felt quite disorganised which I guess is its charm but we had a couple of vans parked really close and we got no instructions on anything when we arrived. Very muddy too

Liked: The views from the campsite were stunning, the local pub the church in was lovely with a nice outdoor area to sit in a simple pub grub to warm up, toilet and shower facilities were nice and cleaned daily

Disliked: The washing up station had no hot water so we had to use the toilets water which was fine unless the toilets were busy

Liked: I found a solid patch of ground for the motorbike and tent despite all of the rain over the previous few days. A one mile walk to the pub for supper although I was lucky to get a table at 7pm without booking. I would recommend booking in busier times. Friendly lady towing all of the motor homes out of the field to prevent them tearing up the turf.

Disliked: Somewhat muddy around the toilet block but there had been a lot of rain.
