  • Small site in the Peak District National Park
  • A short drive from the famed spa town of Buxton
  • A 40-minute drive from Alton Towers; donkey sanctuary next door
Peaceful times in the Peak District National Park are pretty much a given at scenic and small Greystones Nawab Camping and Touring, with its first-rate views over green countryside. But add in proximity (an easy seven miles) to the famed Peak District spa town of Buxton and it's fairly safe to say that holidays of a highly relaxed nature are very much on the cards… Those of a more active disposition (alongside spa days, this is also recommended around these parts) have hiking, walking, cycling, pony trekking, climbing and paragliding all close by, as well as a Go Ape centre within a mile for woodland antics. For family days, the caves of Poole’s Cavern are just outside Buxton, the Peak Wildlife Park is half an hour away and Alton Towers is within 40 minutes. A donkey sanctuary is next door to the site. Greystones Nawab is a grassy and peaceful site in a wildlife haven, and is motorcycle, family and dog friendly. It has showers, three toilets, a washing-up area and charging facilities. Wifi is available near the main house. Please note that the site keeps peacocks and rare-breed chickens.

What customers say

Peaceful Peak District spot near Buxton & Bakewell. Friendly owners, clean amenities, level pitches get a thumbs up. Pub & donkeys a bonus. Facilities are basic but good value. Watch for occasional cleanliness hiccups & road noise.

Jessica M.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The campsite was very quiet, which made for a peaceful stay – perfect for getting some rest without too much noise or disruption. At just £10 a night, it was definitely good value for money and ideal for a simple trip. It had the basics you need and was easy to access, which made it convenient overall.

Disliked The site itself was quite small, which meant we were pitched very close to another tent, however it’s decent for a short, budget-friendly trip.

Ash G.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The chilled nature of the campsite
Working toilets, shower and dishwashing facilities
The location and how accessible Buxton and Bakewell are.
Camp owner seemed friendly enough, welcomed us to the site and left us to it - exactly the kind of environment I wanted.
Fellow campers were friendly too
The donkeys are a welcome site to see in the morning too!

Disliked Sure, the showers and toilets were a little muddy, but it is a campsite with hikers using it so it is to be expected, that being said, maybe a freshen up each day wouldn't go amiss - just a quick wipe down and mop would do the trick!

Terry B.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked The site is amazing
We booked at 18.45 as a last minute booking arrived at 19.15
We were on pitch for only 5 minutes when owner came to make sure we were ok and even sorted us out with £1 coins for the shower
We were only gonna stay one night but decided on an extra night before moving on
Showers were amazing and £1 was enough
All facilities were clean and we managed to empty our on board toilet and fill up our water and all this for £15 a night
Absolutely amazing
We will be back !!!!!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked My partner and I came here for the night over the weekend and we found the site beautiful and peaceful. The site was quiet and tranquil. The owner and one of the workers couldn’t do enough for us, we rented a fire pit and they set this up and lit the fire for us, which we appreciated. The toilets and showers were cleaned regularly and the campsite as a whole was clean and tidy. We would recommend this camp site.

Local attractions

Buxton (10 to 15 minutes' drive away) has plenty to do for all ages, including tours around its Georgian architecture and ambles around the award-winning Pavilion gardens. Shopping and nightlife are most plentiful around George Street, the Quadrant and Cavendish Arcade; for kids of a small size, a soft play centre is in town. Kids of all sizes should like going underground at Buxton's Poole's Cavern, a limestone cave surrounded by Buxton Country Park. Take a guided tour among the huge chambers of the caves to hear tales of the Stone Age people, Roman soldiers and medieval outlaws who used them; after that and above ground, there are woodland trails to wander, rabbits and woodpeckers to spot and – possibly of more interest to fatigued grownups – a café serving drinks and hot snacks. Another spa town – again possibly of more interest to fatigued grownups – is at Matlock Bath, 20 minutes' drive away.
