What customers say
A ripper family campsite, mates! Sprawling sites, top-notch loos, and super-friendly owners who know the area. There's a quiet zone for solo travellers too. Handy for Alton Towers, but a bit of road noise for some. Fire pits and picnic tables are a hit.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely quiet site and love how they separated families from adult only campers. We were a group of 16 with kids aged 10 -12 years old between us and they played football every evening with other campers and explored the adjoining field.
Clean facilities and we had a fire pit on a couple of nights as well.
The owners also got our friends car started as well, so a bonus!
6 mins drive from Alton Towers.
5 mins drive from a from a great chippy called Jim's Plaice in Waterhouses.
10 mins drive from Stepping Stones at Dovedale and IIam National Trust property.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely clean, family friendly campsite. Great location. Loved the facilities, picnic benches, football & volleyball nets and fire pit hire. All the children from different camping groups came together to play, which was nice. There is also a separate area of the cam site for those without children who are looking for a more peaceful stay. Owners very welcoming and friendly. The local map with recommendations for things to do and places to eat was appreciated.
Disliked Nothing.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked My stay there was one of the best if not the best stays at campsite. Hosts welcomed me and found out my preferences then to be pointed at the best pitch . Facilities perfect no need to pay extra for showers. I will recommend this campsite to all my friends.

We will go back!
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Our first camping trip, we went for two nights and I wish all campsites were similar to the Rue Hill! Plenty of space in full capacity, lovely shower block (free showers, big enough to hang all your belongings inside but keep them dry while showering), 20p for hair dryer, washing up station and tap with drinking water, recycling, picnic bench for each tent, park your car next to your pitch, possibility to hire a fire pit… quiet after 10pm. Friendly owners, happy to help. Great base for visiting Peak District/ Alton Towers.
