  • Peaceful family-friendly spot in the Peak District National Park
  • Hiking, rock climbing, potholing and caving within 30 minutes
  • A 45-minute drive from the rides and rollercoasters at Alton Towers
Stunning countryside, spectacular views and a whole lot of get-up-and-go… If that ticks everything off your getaway bucket list, make tracks for Newhaven Holiday Park, a family-friendly site in the tiny hamlet of Newhaven 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire's Buxton. Inside the Peak District National Park, Newhaven is a top spot for energetic types: the High Peak trail passes less than a mile from the site, and you can pick up the Tissington Trail at nearby Hartington Station (or start from Ashbourne, 20 minutes away, to do the whole thing). If you’re of an even more active persuasion – with a daredevil streak perhaps – there’s rock climbing, potholing and caving half an hour away in the High Peak area of the park. You don’t have to go clambering over hills and dales to get a good look at the Peak District though: this site is in a secluded spot, with views over the countryside and plenty of trees and shrubs for shelter. Kick back and relax among all the greenery while the kids run riot in the playground. Ready for something to munch? For anything more substantial, pull a chair up to the table at one of the many restaurants within 20 minutes of Newhaven.

What customers say

Great washrooms & helpful staff. Kids loved the play area. Good Peak District base, peaceful vibes. Road noise can be an issue at night, some tent pitches slope. Occasional soap/loo roll shortages.

Jessica J.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Out of season review:
Very quiet out of season - i imagine its a different vibe in the height of summer!
Plenty of washing up stations
Toilets were generally clean
Playground was great for kids
Non electric pitches were nice and flat
Communication with staff was great, especially as we needed a late check in

Excellent location if youre outdoorsy, fairly safe cycle to get onto the tissington trail with kids directly from the campsite (only one main road to cross) and within driving distance to enough places of interest to keep you going for ages

Disliked The smell in the womens toilets in the morning was awful - looking at other reviews this looks like an ongoing thing?

Candice Q.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked The staff at Newhaven went above and beyond for me. I had a crash just outside the entrance to the park as I was turning up for my holiday. Julie, the receptionist came down to the entrance with two male members of staff and they helped me get my children out of the car, all my belongings and they waited for the ambulance and police to finish their enquiries before taking me and my children to our pitch on a golf buggy. Julie then brought two ice lollies down to the tent for my children. The manager later visited the tent to see if we were alright aswell. They also made suggestions to where we can walk to safely with the children since my car had been taken to storage and the child seats were no longer viable.
Beside the fact that the staff were exceptional, the facilities were good too. There is a park on site for the children to use with swings, climbing frame and slides. The toilets and shower block were modern and clean and were locked by which you entered with a code which made me feel safer.
At reception there is a small shop, stocking essentials and confectionary.
I would definitely recommend this site, if we had been able to drive the children, this site would also make a great base for exploring the peak district.

Liked Non electric grass tent pitches are level. Toilet, showers and washing up facilities were all nice and clean. Kids loved the playground too.

Disliked Non electric grass tent pitches are adjacent A roads that seemed popular with motorcyclists and lorries.

Local attractions

This is Austen country, so you can barely turn around without tripping over some stately pile of bricks... If you fancy gliding around as if you own the place, adopt an air of wealth and superiority and head to Kedleston Hall, Sudbury Hall (with its Museum of Childhood), Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and The Old Manor, all within roughly half an hour’s drive of Newhaven, then chauffeur yourself over to Melbourne Hall, just under an hour away. Hols with kids are pretty easy in these parts too, as there’s absolutely oodles to distract them with within an hour of the site: make your way to Matlock for the Heights of Abraham alpine cable car and Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park (and the Crich Tramway Museum, Peak District Mining Museum and Masson Mills for some grownup sanity). Also get along to Buxton for treetop adventuring at Go Ape; underground exploration at Poole’s Cavern, and Alton Towers for some adrenaline-fuelled rides. If traipsing around on land isn’t really floating your boat, spend a day (or two) at Carsington Water, less than half an hour away, for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, powerboating and fishing, or head to WaterWorld (just outside Stoke-on-Trent) for some indoor waterpark splashing around.
