Peaceful park near the Peak District
Easy access to Derby and Nottingham; two pubs five minutes' walk away
New toilet and shower block kept to immaculate standards

What a peaceful park this is for Peak District hols – on 11 acres of quiet woodland near the national park and set deep in the Derbyshire countryside with picnic areas peppered all around. And what a pleasing park this is for those who insist on amenities being immaculate and up to date – the toilet and shower block comes with disabled access, baby changing and showers with hot and cold water, and is kept in tiptop condition at all times by the friendly site team. Riddings Wood Holiday Park is a rural park but with easy access to urban centres like Derby and Nottingham as well as to the hikes, bike rides and canters of the Peak District. (If you're a bit bamboozled as to what to do first, have a look at the tourist info point in reception or ask the team for tips.) Campfires are allowed if you need a bit of warming upon return. And finally, what a pint-friendly site Riddings Wood is too – the only thatched-roof pub in Derbyshire, Moulders Arms (aka The Thack), is a short stroll away; and the Seven Stars, a community pub, is just across the road. Cheers…

What customers say

A grand spot with grand staff, lovely and clean loos and showers. Great for the wee ones and the dogs. Some pitches are a bit sloped, mind, but it's a grand place for a bit of a chill.

Disliked Smell from disused toilet block was horrendous. Pitches were unlevel. Location was not ideal, no direct walks without driving out. Some parts of the site were unkempt. No canopy over the dish washing area

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely campsite, ideal for families as it has a playground. The toilet/shower facilities were very very nice and extremely clean, all the time!
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Gave us some leaflets for local takeaways if needed. And did come and check on us on the first night asking if the noise level was ok, which of course we didn’t mind people playing music.

Disliked We was pitched and quite a slope.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We stayed over a long weekend, out of season so a lot calmer than the summer time.

Also to note, we stayed in the top half of the site on electric pitch during a major downpour, the site was not boggy or flooded despite the very heavy rain.

Nice and quiet with some lovely sounds of owls hooting away during the night.
Lots of other wildlife about too.
Nice location to take the doggo for a walk around the site.

Site staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.

The site is well kept and tidy throughout.

Showers were a good temperature.

Toilets were clean and well kept.

Pot washing station is easily accessible and good water temperature.

Disliked No seats in the shower. There are hooks to hang things, SO MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR WASH BAG.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us we do welcome all feedback.

Thanks again from the Riddings wood team.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Nice site - well protected by surrounding trees (listen out for the family of Tawney owls calling to each other over night!). Available facilities are fine and kept clean - though worth noting that they’re not accessible to anyone who can’t do stairs. Site managers are lovely and we would happily book again.

Disliked The facilities block in the middle of the site being unavailable - especially as I think they’re the only ones which don’t have steps.

There is an accessible toilet/showers for any customers who have issues using or accessing the main toilet facilities. The key is in the reception, thank you for raising this issue.

Thank you again for the feedback.

Local attractions

To the Peak! The Peak District National Park is but a short drive from Riddings Wood Holiday Park, and has a bit of what you fancy for all ages and inclinations. If you're in the area to hike, there are more Peak District trails than you can shake a (walking) stick at, from the shorter treks of seven or so miles around the upper Dove Valley and Pilsbury Castle, to long-distance paths like the Limestone Way (46 miles), the Derwent Valley Heritage Way (55 miles) or the Peak District parts of the Pennine Way, running for 268 miles from the northern Peak District to just inside the Scottish border. Climbers and cavers also delve into all things Peak: thousands of routes for all abilities are all over the park for climbers, including Burcen Edge for beginners and more hair-raising ascents like Debauchery and Mad Dogs and Englishmen for the severely experienced. If you're of a cavernous disposition, make your way to the village of Castleton and its four show caves, Blue John, the Peak, Treak Cliff and Speedwell Cavern with underground boat trip. Matlock Bath has a cable car to take adventurers to limestone caverns The Heights of Abraham, and Poole's Cavern near Buxton has vast caves to explore before an above-surface walk around Buxton Country Park. Other attractions like Chatsworth House and Gardens and the old Crich Tramway are to hand for the historically-minded, alongside old Peak District villages and market towns for tearooms, restaurants, family pubs and lots of shopping: try Buxton, Ashbourne and Bakewell to start you off. Back at Matlock Bath, let the kids go large at the rides and attractions of theme and play park Gullivers Kingdom for ages two to 13; the 600-acre Matlock Farm Park nearby should keep them busy for a bit too.
