Electric hardstanding and grass tent or campervan pitch (small)

Liked: What’s not to like, so much attention to detail has gone into creating this marvellous little site surrounded by the Derbyshire hills. Very generous pitch sizes, immaculately kept. Self check in with the keypad on the gate and clearly marked out pitches. The best toilet and showers we’ve come across and all with heating! Would highly recommend.

Disliked: Couldn’t find any faults at all with the site but would definitely check the local pub dinner times as check in at the site was 2pm and dinner finished at 2.30pm at the George. They also close at 7pm on a Sunday and not open at all Mondays.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Everything. Good pitch that i could get my awning peg in the ground without having stones and rocks in the way. Clean Toilets with first class showers and warm radiators with good size sinks. Private but still open to chat with other campers. Definately will go back with plenty of walks still to explore and a bonus of a pub a stones throw away with exellent food and warm welcome.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Lovely clean site. Fabulous 'bathroom' spotlessly clean. Good level pitch size. Walking distance to a pub serving food (it closes at 9pm)

Disliked: Fires. A teenage couple camping next to us had a fire. Thick smoke made our van and awning stink

Local attractions

If you’re into stately homes and elegant country mansions, head to centuries-old Haddon Hall (25 minutes’ drive), where a Medieval Park is inhabited by voles, hares and birds. Then continue on to Chatsworth House (35 minutes), which contains a renowned art collection ranging from ancient Roman artefacts to modern works by the likes of Lucian Freud. The market town of Buxton (half an hour) is known for its Georgian architecture and thermal waters, which you can sample at St Ann’s Well, a public fountain. After checking out the displays at the Buxton Visitor Centre & The Buxton Crescent Experience, take the weight off your feet at The Pavilion Gardens, on the banks of the River Wye. A cable-car flight at the Heights of Abraham (half an hour) takes you high above the Derwent Valley. When you’ve had your fill of expansive Derbyshire Dales views, you can head underground and catch a light show in the man-made Great Masson and Great Rutland caverns.
