A great campsite for visiting the High Peak District.
Unpowered grass campervan or tent site
Liked Really enjoyed our stay here. Lovely and well maintained site with spacious pitches and great facilities. We stayed here at the end of October and it was a very quiet, peaceful few days. The main road is not far away, but at night we didn't notice any noise from traffic. There are multiple water points around the site, and the toilets and showers were hot and clean. The wifi is also very good, as is 4G phone signal (on 3 at least). A great location to visit the High Peak District, and only a few miles from Buxton. There is an Aldi about 4 miles away. A very enjoyable stay, really reasonable price, and we would definitely visit again.

Would stay again. Can’t complain for the ease of everything.
Non-electric bell tent
Liked Liked the ease of having a pub right next to where we were staying.
Showers were nice and warm.
The fire pit and picnic bench was good.
Disliked The bell tent we stayed in could have done with a clean on the outside.
There wasn’t a designated tap for drinking water.

Great small campsite with pub and amenities. And affordable for groups
Powered grass campervan or tent site
Liked Electric pitches and washing facilities where excellent.
Reasonably priced.
Disliked Showers were poorly installed so you had to leane over the tap to get under the water as the Showers where low powered wich normally isent a problem but due to being tall and the odd way the taps where installed made it awkward to shower.
Also the shower block didn't have any curtains inside the stalls to prevent cloths/towls from getting wet from the showe or flour guard not block to prevent the same for shoes not a problem in single sex showers block only an issue in these unisex ones.

Good helpful staff, clean, small pub site
Unpowered grass campervan or tent site
Liked The pub was lovely and close, served good food. The campsite had electric hookup in some places. The site was quite small so to toilets where nice and close, facilities where clean but could do with updating like it's sister campsite the royal oak. Not a disabled friendly campsite. Fire pits are aloud and you can buy logs and hire the pit there. Free WiFi on site
Disliked Toilet facilities could do with an update

Fairly clean basic, limited facilities
Powered grass campervan or tent site
Liked Convenient location for ease of travel to tourist spots and hiking routes
The one time we met a member of staff they were helpful and informative, however we only saw him once in 4-5 days
Disliked Near A515, almost constant 24hr noise
Next to donkey sanctuary, noise issues again
Very limited on site facilities, no where near enough toilets/showers/washing areas for the total number of pitches, fortunately it was quiet during our visit, definately not somewhere i would go if busy
On site restaurant difficult to book, but only open half the week??
Wifi didnt reach our pitch, which wasn't that far compared to other pitches
No onsite or nearby shops for basic food
