Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Lovely Campsite, clean toilets and showers, also a great pub at reasonable prices to escape the rain and watch the Euros. Very quiet and calm Campsite with quiet hours from 10pm-8am which meant the children could sleep and didn't have to worry about loud campers into the early hours. Excellent location for walks in the Peak District at a very good price too. Will be visiting again!

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: They have good plate washing facilities. They also have a brilliant cubicle that has a loo, wash basin and shower. It's great having them together. There was a second, identical, cubicle, but sadly the shower wasn't functioning. There was a good sized loo and wash basin and a block with 3 showers. I didn't fancy using those showers as the cubicles didn't look big enough to avoid getting a towel dry 🙄
Disliked: Ground was a bit lumpy with holes I tripped in.
