  • Luxurious rural campsite close to the Peak District National Park
  • A 10-minute drive to Hardwick Hall; Chatsworth House 35 minutes
  • Miles of walking and cycling trails from site; pubs five minutes’ walk
Can’t decide between Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire? Your worries are over with a stay at Silverhill Woodland Retreats – this well-established and superbly maintained campsite near Teversal borders both counties – and in fact you can spy three more from the top of Silverhill nearby. Surrounded by countryside, it has a peaceful location and yet is still easily accessible from main road routes. Customer service and superior facilities are the name of the game here – for it has a very glitzy loo block crafted from black marble, with thoughtful luxuries in it like hair dryers and complimentary toiletries. No need to worry about leaving anything at home either, as there is a shop on the site selling camping essentials, coffee and stuff you basically forgot to pack. There are ice creams on hand too, if the kids are behaving. You’ll find a play area on site for your younger offspring, as well as miles of walking and cycling trails directly from the campsite (pick up maps in reception). You can bring any four-legged friends to share in your hikes, or restrict your exercise to a leisurely stroll down to the local pub (five minutes’ walk) for decent grub and a pint.

What customers say

Top-notch, spotless site with brilliant modern loos and showers, plus friendly staff. Great walks and a pub nearby. Spacious spots. Can get busy, and a few WiFi/service cost grumbles, but most keen to return.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked Second visit to this lovely site, which is very friendly and welcoming and is spotlessly clean. Shower / toilet block is modern, very roomy and kept very clean. Plenty of room between pitches. Lovely location for a quiet break.
Nice pub at the end of the road, dogs allowed outside only, with nice menu.

Disliked Location is quite rural, need a car travel to nearby sites and attractions but not really anything to dislike.
WiFi available to purchase at a reasonable price and we tried several times but it wouldn’t connect

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Excellent tidy attractive site with clean, well designed amenities.

Disliked Lack of support from the warden when we complained about a particular family group who continually played ball games near our caravan. Our caravan was hit by their balls and we were anxious all weekend for fear of costly damage to our van. Warden was particularly loud and verbally abusive to us and told us we were barred.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I’m sorry that you were unhappy with your experience, however, I would like to clarify what happened regarding the ball games.

The first and only time you contacted us to raise your concerns, I went straight up to the area and spoke to the children, and their parents asking them not to play ball games near the caravans. Following this, I regularly walked around the site throughout the day to keep an eye on the situation and to make sure the request was being respected.

Unfortunately, the ball games took place again at around 9pm that evening. We were not contacted at the time to let us know that this was happening, so we had no opportunity to intervene or resolve the situation. Had we been contacted, we would have dealt with it immediately, just as we did when you initially raised the issue.

The following morning, I was approached by the gentleman in question. I appreciate that emotions were understandably running high, but I was being pointed at in my face and spoken to in a confrontational manner and was blamed personally for the children playing ball games. I did become upset and raised my voice, and while I accept that the conversation became heated, I felt that I needed to ask him to step back and get out of my face. I regret that the conversation became as heated as it did, but I also feel it is important that the circumstances are fairly represented.

We take complaints from our guests seriously and always try to deal with issues as quickly as possible. However, we cannot address something we have not been made aware of, particularly when it happens later in the evening.

We are a family-friendly site and understand that children will want to play, but we also expect everyone to be considerate of other guests, particularly around caravans in the evening. We will always do our best to ensure that these expectations are respected.

As you can see from the many other reviews we have received, we pride ourselves on being a friendly, welcoming site, and providing our guests with a positive experience is extremely important to us. In the three years I have been here, I have never experienced a situation quite like this or had someone speak to me in such a confrontational and aggressive manner, particularly with someone pointing their finger in my face and shouting at me.

I’m sorry that you left feeling dissatisfied, but I hope this response provides a fair and accurate explanation of what happened from our side.

Excellent

Local attractions

Lovers of history can explore the National Trust-owned Hardwick Hall (10 minutes’ drive), an Elizabethan manor doubling up as Malfoy Manor in the Harry Potter franchise, while elegant Chatsworth House (35 minutes) has more than its fair share of opulent apartments to peek at as well as lovely riverside walks in its extensive. grounds. The fabled Peak District National Park (20 minutes) is the gateway to walking, cycling and geo-caching adventures around a multitude of trails including the High Peak and Monsal. You can also up the activity levels with climbing, water sports and caving. Weather against you? Families can still keep active with water slides and a wave machine at Water Meadows Swimming and Fitness Complex in Mansfield (15 minutes). The handsome, half-timbered centre of market town of Chesterfield (15 minutes) is overlooked by the remarkable Crooked Spire church – take a guided tour up the twisted tower to see it up close. Another pretty town worth visiting is Bakewell (40 minutes), where you can buy one of the town’s famous namesake tarts to eat in flower-filled Bath Gardens.
