  • Well-equipped Derbyshire site with easy access from the A517
  • A 10-minute drive to Ashbourne and the edge of the Peak District
  • Dog-friendly site a mile from Hulland Ward's village pub and farm shop
Parking up for the Peak District to flit between limestone valleys, pretty villages and green peaks? Take your kit to Ashbourne Touring and Camping Park, a well-equipped site in a handy spot just off the A517, a mile from the village of Hulland Ward. Easy access from the main road means it’s nice and straightforward to get set up at this Derbyshire site – and that location also means you’ll be handily close to the village’s pub and farm shop (a useful source of supplies for your barbecue back at base). Bus services from the stop just outside can take you to Ashbourne's cobbled streets and weekly open-air market – or, alternatively, drive yourself over there in about 10 minutes. In fact, everything here has been designed to make life nice and easy for guests, with well-kept, ample toilet and shower facilities, a chemical disposal area, a washing-up area and a launderette provided. And if you can't bear the thought of leaving a faithful furry companion behind, good news – dogs are welcome to join you on site as long as they're well-behaved. The wifi service provided is also likely to come in handy, given that you'll probably want to plan lots of days out around the area. The edge of the Peak District National Park is about 10 minutes' drive away, as is the start of the traffic-free Tissington Trail, so you'll be in a good position for getting out to explore the lovely landscapes. And there are plenty of other attractions around too, including Alton Towers and the grand Chatsworth Estate.

What customers say

Well-kept, peaceful, friendly site with roomy, level pitches. Spotless facilities with hot water. Helpful staff. Great for Peak District exploring. Avoid North Lane via GPS. Poor WiFi/cell signal in spots.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Location is great, well placed for visiting local attractions. Site is quiet and easy to find (don't follow the satnav down North Lane as this is an utter nightmare and will scratch up the side of anything bigger than a camper). Pitches are absolutely level which is great and the site is locked and secure. We arrived late but details for us were left at the reception noticeboard and allowed us to still pitch up. If you're looking for a fairly basic site in a good location, this is it.

Disliked Despite advertising WiFi the site doesn't have any and it's also in a signal black spot. Great if you don't want contact with anyone at home but not great if you need to stay in touch or log on to work etc. Shouldn't really advertise this if not available. Basic site, showers extremely hot and not adjustable (just about ok for adults but probably too hot for little ones), shower/loo block quite tired, not overly clean but this may be down to the folks staying at the site.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Very friendly accommodating site. Clean toilets and showers. Even sell cold dinks, ice creams and a few other little essentials at reception.
Bus stop outside to catch the bus into Ashbourne, Belper or nearby villages, only downside is no busses on a Sunday.
Nearest pub 25 mins walk along a fast road with no footpath or you can try the public footpath fields way, took over an hour but we did get lost a few times! Was definitely ready for a beer when we arrived.
Lovely quiet site, would recommend.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Nice tidy site with clean service block. We were in the grass camping field and I like that there was also an additional toilet nearby. Easy check in. In the summer you can flag down the bus into Ashbourne at the entrance to the campsite, it will also drop you off there.

Disliked A little bit of road noise but not horrendous. The pitches in the camp field did seem to be quite close together

Local attractions

Bridging the gap between Ashbourne and Parsley Hay, the Tissington Trail (10 minutes’ drive) beckons with peaceful, traffic-free pedals and a detour to the tea rooms in gorgeous Tissington. Those who are looking to spend the majority of their time exploring on foot can take on the trail without a bicycle or head onwards towards the Dovedale stepping stones (20 minutes), Harboro Rocks (15 minutes) or stunning Thor’s Cave (half an hour). Putting aside a morning to stroll around Chatsworth estate (35 minutes) is also a fine decision, given that this stately home is a proper Peak District poster child. You may have also heard of Carsington Water (10 minutes), not quite in the national park but just outside, for scenic hours of watersports or keeping watch for birds like kingfishers and buzzards. Touring with the kids? They will surely appreciate a trip to Alton Towers (25 minutes) or the Peak Wildlife Park (25 minutes). Take 'em on a vintage tram ride at Crich Tramway Village (25 minutes) while you're at it, ending at the period sweet shop or pub.
