  • 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

A no-frills, welcoming spot in a top Peak District spot, loved for its quiet vibe, great views, and easy access to pubs & walks. Generally good pitches, with owners often called helpful. Facilities fine for the cost, though some noted cleanliness/maintenance issues in loos/showers, and a few had go with on-site digs.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Toilets were decent

Disliked Check in wasn’t easy, didn’t know where to pitch up. Had to knock on the house door next door to the site and didn’t seem very friendly. Other campers were loud till early morning

From the manager: Sorry to hear about your experience
You the only ones leaving poor review
During weekend stay
Also accusing us of not being friendly now that really is far fetched

Music was from other campsite next door to us I was told
Nothing to do with our camp site

we cannot make everyone happy even if we try our best
We are happy with the way we run our campsite over 95% of our guests love it

Overall great place to stay

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!

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.
