  • 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

This is a clean, well-kept site, highly rated for families with its great playground and spacious feel. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Facilities, especially the washrooms, are frequently praised for their cleanliness and modern amenities. While generally quiet, some guests noted road noise, particularly on spots near the main road. A few guests had issues with uneven spots and shower timers.

Laura H.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Good camping and caravan park with access to electric pitch ups. A 20 min drive to Buxton and Bakewell. Has a shop on site with friendly and welcoming staff. There is a kids play park and a pizza delivery service between 12 and 3 in addition to a local pub about a 5 min drive away who serve food until 7:30pm. The campsite was quiet with no noise from neighbours.

Disliked No power sockets in the toilets for hairdryers and hair straighteners. The showers were nice and hot but you have to keep pressing them every 5 seconds. Take your own toilet roll as the toilets often ran out.

Would recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, I just hope they can get On top of toilet/shower block maintenance

Disliked Toilet/shower blocks weren’t cleaned regularly enough during our stay. They were only cleaned once during the 4 days we were on site and started to feel very unclean for a good few days before they were cleaned

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Extremely good for young familys. Facilities excellent and very clean.

Lots to do locally within driving distance too.

Disliked Not really the campsites fault - but something to be mindful of is the non-electric tent pitch locations are directly next to the main road (small row of trees and a small wall). This was noisy, even through the night, when we stayed.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A good park for self-catering camping.

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.
