  • 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.

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

Powered grass campsite

Liked Quiet site and well set out with 3 main areas / fields. Main shower and toilet block was clean with plenty of hot water available.
Whilst not an official bus stop, we were told that the buses will stop to pick up and drop off for people staying at the camp site. Very handy for getting into Ashbourne without taking the van.

Disliked Whilst there were 2 toilets in the camping field (although one was out of order due to a blockage whilst we were there), the site could really do with an additional brick built toilet / shower block. EHU was available but only one drinking water point in the camping field.

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.
