Liked The amazing scenery, the quietness of the site. The clean and well maintained environment. The friendly host who looked after us so well. This is one of the quietest sites we have been to. The scenery is breathtaking, with so many walks available from the site. The showers, pot wash and toilets are clean and well looked after. A nice pub close by - this site has everything you could want

Primitive grass campsite

Liked We had a lovely 2 night stop at Crowdecote campsite,it had everything you needed there, toilets,showers and a place to wash your pots up in, picnic tables and fire pits. Steve the owner was very friendly and came out to greet us when we arrived and explained it all to us, then left us to set up. The Packhorse Inn is a 5 mins walk away and serves delicious meals at reasonable prices if you don’t fancy cooking and Buxton is only 6/7 miles away. Definitely would come again next year in the summer.

Disliked Nothing to dislike about the site itself but we were pitched close to the road and though there wasn’t much traffic as it’s a side road, occasionally during the night you can hear cars that were driving too fast down it.

What customers say

This adult-only site earns praise for its amazing location, tranquil vibe, and gorgeous views. Guests rave about the welcoming owner, Steve, and the tidy, sufficient amenities, including hot showers and dishwashing. It's highly recommended for walkers and pub-goers, though some note basic facilities and faint road noise.

Local attractions

Anyone for a walk? There are plenty of those around – as well as the routes by the site, you may like to pick up the Tissington Trail (five minutes’ drive), hunt for history at Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (10 minutes) or explore Errwood Reservoir (20 minutes), which is also a good spot for some fly fishing. Different landscape options include venturing underground at Poole's Cavern and Buxton Country Park (15 minutes) or making your way across the River Dove at the Dovedale Stepping Stones (25 minutes). Chatsworth House (25 minutes) is always worth a visit too, for tours of the house, a wander among the sculptures in the garden and some choice bits from the farm shop. For some town time, try the elegant spa town of Buxton (15 minutes) or head to Bakewell (20 minutes) to sample its famous puddings.
