Family park three miles from the Peak District town of Ashbourne
Seven and a half miles from Alton Towers
Indoor pool, licensed shop and picnic area

If you had to pick a Peak District place, you'd be displaying tiptop taste if you went for Ashbourne. For there are many whys: it’s at the southern tip of the Peak District and a gateway to the same; it leads straight on to the Tissington Trail, and it’s sevenish miles from the heady heights of Alton Towers. More? It's also been the site of a raucous game of football every Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday since medieval times; and (possibly related), one in every four of its buildings is or has been an inn or brewery. It's not a bit surprising that illustrious visitors in its past have included Bonnie Prince Charlie and Charles I, although they probably didn’t have time to stop off for a game of footie… Add to your list Ashbourne Heights (formerly known as Highfields Park), three miles from town, well placed to reach a range of market towns like Bakewell and Buxton, and with a good range of facilities and services to fire the family up. From the site you can reach the main sights, activities, landscapes and history of the Peak District: too many to go into here, but do bring your camera. Ashbourne Heights has a heated indoor pool, and generously-sized pitches with room for awnings, gazebos and a car parked alongside. Other facilities at the park include a licensed shop, picnic area, launderette, covered washing-up areas, showers, toilets and a baby changing area. All in all, a pretty good Peak District pitstop…

Liked: We liked the Pod and facilities it offered including shower, toilet & washing up. The shop is well stocked and Friendly staff. The play area was used by Family on Sunday when we had a Birthday BBQ. We walked the Tissington Trail to Ashbourne. Can’t wait to return such a wonderful site and relaxing holiday. Thank you so much 🥳❤️from The Twins.

Liked: Nice site with playground and modern toilets / showers. All the staff were friendly. Wifi worked well on our pitch.

Disliked: Lots of Static Caravans everywhere and For Sale signs / adverts. Felt like we were on a static sales pitch rather than a holiday.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Fantastic park for children of all ages. Well placed to explore the Peak District. Owner was very kind and friendly. Immaculately presented grounds. Great to have the option of a swimming pool on site. Some lovely pub restaurants local.

Disliked: Toilets and showers felt very far away from where tent pitches were. A bit tricky when you’ve got a 3 year old going to and from toilets.

Liked: Site facilities and staff are brilliant and we’d love to return once ground conditions improve

Disliked: Unfortunately, the ground conditions were extremely poor due to excess rainfall. The site warden told us that bookings had been cancelled and we should have been one of those. We ended up having to pack up and come home early due to this.

Camping pod

Liked: We arrived early and was greeted with a friendly service and I mentioned we were early. Luckily our glamping pod was ready so was able to check in early. The glamping pod was excellent! Better than expected, had a separate shower, wc room. Also had small kitchette, including kettle, toaster, microwave, table and TV. Bed sheets were clean, ironed and comfortable bed and bed settee. Lovely view and private area to enjoy the countryside view, was very relaxing and nice waking up to that view. Kids enjoyed the play park and swimming. Changing rooms a little small but we showered back at our pod.

Disliked: Could do with longer opening hours for swimming pool bookings. A little dust in the pod.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (no awning)

Liked: The staff here are out of this world. It has been wet and wild weather, my vehicle broke down but i came away feeling happy due to their kindness, the staff really went above and beyond. Generally, the place is clean and tidy, facilities were good in terms of clean ablutions. Shop is well priced (makes a welcome change). Dog walks are close by, and pubs in walking distance.

Local attractions

The amount of antics available at Alton Towers near Ashbourne Heights might turn grownups grey among the thrill rides, river rapids and other heady highlights of the country’s biggest theme park. You’ll ensure Very Good Behaviour Indeed if you take the family on to Gulliver’s Kingdom at Matlock Bath, designed to keep all ages busy/tired out for later (beware the nerf guns). Other energetic Peak District pastimes include watersports, laser tag, climbing, caving and zipwiring; find out where’s what at Ashbourne’s tourist information centre, which is practised in all things Peak. More peacefully, the Peak District has a high amount of culture and heritage to explore: National Trust houses and estates, the old spa towns of Matlock and Buxton, museums of all sorts, prehistoric cave paintings, three vintage railways and aeons more. Lead mining was a main industry here from Roman times until recently and info on the industry can be mined at the Peak District Mining Museum at Matlock. Bolsover Castle, founded in the 12th century, has regular events to tempt the kids, such as exhibitions on torture for the gruesomely minded, an indoor riding school, and a theatrical room just for little darlings.
