Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked The absolute privacy and solitude.
I just stayed til early morning and chatted to no one (my choice).
I heard no road noise, no noise from others, was a very restful evening and night.
No frills site, which is best if you just want a peaceful field to sleep in and little more.
Disliked Nothing, was as expected. Loos might need updating if you’re of a fussy nature

Power optional grass campsite
Liked Pretty much everything.
Friendly reception from Rachael.
Told us where to park and left us to it.
Said we must look at the gardens, which we did and they’re amazing. Saw an otter!!!
Bathrooms and toilets beautifully decorated and very clean.
Very quiet on site.
About a mile by car to Nolton Haven.
Before we left we had a chat to one of the family members who recommended Druidstone Hotel- THANK YOU!
What a beautiful place, especially the walled garden.

Liked I particularly liked the large pitch which was mown in a circular area, with paths mown through towards the toilets. I also liked that the pitches aren’t in a uniform layout, meaning that it doesn’t feel regimented. I was quite a way from other vans and I felt totally at ease, no catching of others conversations, or having to avoid contact.
Having been at Hay Festival all week what I needed was tranquility and I got it here.
It’s a short walk to the river, which I did do - very picturesque.
Warm was warm in showers and though rustic they were cleaned regularly and smelled pleasant.
Owner friendly, but not over the top, a friendly wave, quick chat.
Campsite is signposted off the main road, down a farm track and through gates into a yard.
Owner tells me that she’s v conscious of security so property very secure, it certainly felt it.
At times it was hard to believe a busy literary festival was only a couple of miles down the road. I cycled round the back lanes to avoid the main road.
Disliked A few times people cut through my pitch to save a bit of time walking to the toilet. This definitely felt like an invasion of privacy.
Maybe a sign up asking people not to do this and stick to the main route would help prevent this.
It’s a bit scruffy (but you soon see past that), don’t make any judgement til you’ve settled in.
