  • Peaceful family-friendly spot in the Peak District National Park
  • Hiking, rock climbing, potholing and caving within 30 minutes
  • A 45-minute drive from the rides and rollercoasters at Alton Towers
Stunning countryside, spectacular views and a whole lot of get-up-and-go… If that ticks everything off your getaway wishlist, make tracks for Newhaven Holiday Park, a family-friendly site in the tiny hamlet of Newhaven 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire's Buxton. Inside the Peak District National Park, Newhaven is a top spot for energetic types: the High Peak trail passes less than a mile from the site, and you can pick up the Tissington Trail at nearby Hartington Station (or start from Ashbourne, 20 minutes away, to do the whole thing). If you’re of an even more active persuasion – with a daredevil streak perhaps – there’s rock climbing, potholing and caving half an hour away in the High Peak area of the park. You don’t have to go clambering over hills and dales to get a good look at the Peak District though: this site is in a secluded spot, with views over the countryside and plenty of trees and shrubs for shelter. Kick back and relax among all the greenery while the kids run riot in the playground. Ready for something to munch? For anything more substantial, pull a chair up to the table at one of the many restaurants within 20 minutes of Newhaven.

Liked The site was lovely. Lots of room on the tent pitch. It wasn't far from the toilet block either.
The toilets, showers and washing up facilities were very clean and tidy.
My boys loved the playground, making friends and had loads of room to play.
We will be returning again.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Great campsite with clean facilities and a lovely, well-stocked shop. We stayed for two nights and our boys had a fantastic time, making lots of new friends. We also loved being so close to the Tissington Trail, which was perfect for getting out on our bikes and enjoying some cycling. A lovely stay—we’d definitely recommend it!

Adey G. 1 review

Powered grass tent site

Liked A welcoming site with good pitch sizes.

The site is quiet and has excellent facilities (toilets, showers and washing up facilities) that are well looked after.

There is a small park (that keeps younger visitors occupied) and table tennis table that I think you’d need to bring your own equipment for.

Disliked Nothing. If you go with the expectation of this being a good base to get your head down and explore the surrounding area then you won’t be disappointed.

Liked Everything

Disliked There was no staff on at weekends when some children got locked in the showers the showers were quiet dirty by the Sunday witch wasn't great.
But as above no staff on site

Also had some gypsy on site who didn't seem to care what there children were doing
Letting them kick a ball into tents caravans etc.

It was a real shame as we had a fabulous time other than the above

Local attractions

This is Austen country, so you can barely turn around without tripping over some stately pile of bricks… If you fancy gliding around as if you own the place, adopt an air of wealth and superiority and head to Kedleston Hall, Sudbury Hall (with its Museum of Childhood), Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and The Old Manor, all within roughly half an hour’s drive of Newhaven, then chauffeur yourself over to Melbourne Hall, just under an hour away. Hols with kids are pretty easy in these parts too, as there’s absolutely oodles to distract them with within an hour of the site: make your way to Matlock for the Heights of Abraham alpine cable car and Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park (and the Crich Tramway Museum, Peak District Mining Museum and Masson Mills for some grownup sanity). Also get along to Buxton for treetop adventuring at Go Ape; underground exploration at Poole’s Cavern, and Alton Towers for some adrenaline-fuelled rides. If traipsing around on land isn’t really floating your boat, spend a day (or two) at Carsington Water, less than half an hour away, for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, powerboating and fishing, or head to WaterWorld (just outside Stoke-on-Trent) for some indoor waterpark splashing around.
