  • Valley site a mile from the Peak District town of Buxton
  • Surrounded by woodland and with a gorge and viaduct at one end
  • Play area on site; half an hour's walk from the town centre
Travelling types, move Buxton to the top of your list… This Derbyshire spa town and gateway to the Peak District is only a mile away from Lime Tree Holiday Park – it'll take you five minutes to drive or half an hour to walk into the town centre from this handy base. The site is in its own valley in a Special Landscape Area, surrounded by farmland and with a wooded limestone gorge and old railway viaduct at one edge. (Maps, brochures and sheets of information on local attractions are at the Lime Tree reception, or ask one of the helpful staff for advice on things to see and do.) Facilities on site include an adventure playground where kids can let off steam and an ice block freezing facility so that you can look forward to a chilled drink after a long day out adventuring. The site also has a microwave where you're welcome to heat babies’ or toddlers' food and a gas cylinder exchange service. Among the amenities are a modern toilet block (in the centre of the field, no less), showers and a washing-up area.

What customers say

A grand spot, well-kept with top-notch facilities, especially the spick-and-span showers. Staff get a nod for being sound. Grand for pokin' around the Peak District and a short stroll to Buxton. Most were chuffed, though a few mentioned lopsided pitches and a bit of a racket or things shut. Still, a grand, peaceful break for all.

Mary S.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked Clean toilets and showers - and plenty of them
I liked the radio playing in the toilets
Key code to access toilets and showers
Hot running water all day and night
Not overly crowded even though it was fully booked
Nowhere was particularly far from the washing up area or toilets
Friendly staff - very responsive to an issue with some noisy neighbours and they were friendly but firm
Bins and toilets are checked regularly. Staff drive around the site to check noise levels which I really appreciated.
Nice play area with benches for adults
Located 5 minutes from supermarkets and a great fish and chip shop!
Beautiful views

Disliked None - the field does have a slight incline but that's the nature of camping in the hills. We angled the tent so that we didn't roll and there are some flat pitches available

Liked Very clean, modern facilities.
Helpful friendly staff.
Proximity to Buxton & nearby walks.
Terraced non electric pitch.
Warden present into evening.

Disliked Not a dislike but we were lucky to be able to pitch on a terrace pitch. On a busy stay you may have to pitch on slope.

Edd M.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked We have been to lime tree 3 times now and every time we have had a warm welcome. But this time was our first time camping. We had a choice of pitches and decided to pitch next to some pines. The amenities are very well maintained and are always clean.
We love that lime tree is a 15 minute drive from pretty much any of the walks we wanted to do. They have a laundry room and a games room which they did have a pool table and sofas but since their upgrade I’m not sure what is still in there as we didn’t use it.
Lime tree has spectacular views of the viaduct from the caravan pitches.

Graeme A.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked Facilities were fantastic and toilet’s etc exceptionally clean. Site nice and quiet despite being school holidays. Grass lovely and ground good. Lovely location and 15 mins walk from Buxton. Despite being quite close to town feels like it’s out in the sticks. Definitely booking again for May next year.

Disliked Being very picky! Slight incline on camping field and a large group in the top left corner had two campfires on Friday night which are not allowed but patrols had already stopped. Just annoyed me a bit as we would have all liked a fire but some of us respect rules.

Francesca H.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked Visited to stay a few days in the peak district with my sister. Gorgeous location, stunning views, so much room in the field and told we could either pitch on the terraces or up in the open field ("pitch wherever you like in that field" we were told upon entry). We opted for the field as it offered more privacy and better views and were not disappointed!
The toilet and shower block were brilliant, the disabled shower/toilet was great, it was massive with a temperature controlled shower, toilet, sink, hand dryer, and baby change mat. Ample space on the floor to change an adult but this is a let down as there would definitely be space for an adult changing table in there if they moved the baby changing table.
Only a 7 minute drive from the St Ann's Well (fed by the Buxton spring), the best water you'll ever taste, better even than the bottled Buxton (must be the bottling process). We took 5ltr containers and filled up for our whole stay on night one, and we came back home with a little extra.
Only a 40 minute drive from Alton Towers.
Only a FIVE MINUTE drive from High Peak Book Store & Café. We recommend the Buxton Fog (it's a tea latte).
Only 2 minutes from a big morrisons which has a café- great breakfasts! Also fresh fish counter and fresh butcher counter. The campsite allows BBQs as long as you elevate it off the grass with bricks (provided) or you have a freestanding BBQ with you.
It feels remote at your pitch (helped by the mountain views) despite being only half a mile from the centre of Buxton!
Will definitely be coming again and staying a bit longer next time so we can do more things.

Disliked There's a lump in the road going up the hill to the field which your car will catch on 80% of the time.
Toilet and washing up block are downhill from the field meaning carrying your washing back up with you however far up the hill you pitched.
It gets windy on the field so if you feel the cold easily, go for a terrace.
No sanitary or yellow waste disposal bin in the disabled toilet.
No needle disposal on site (bring your yellow sharps bin with you).

Local attractions

Like Bath in the south, Buxton was founded as a spa town by the Romans and became popular in Georgian times for the supposed health-giving properties of its spa water. Fill up your water bottle at St Anne's Well in front of the Crescent, then go on a Buxton tour to see its Georgian architecture and smart landscape, including the ornamental gardens at the Pavilion, and the Buxton Opera House, the highest in the country. The Peak District as a whole is full of market towns stuffed with local produce and interesting attractions: go to Bakewell for the essential eponymous tart; Leek for Rudyard Lake and the steam train; Ashbourne for a couple of hundred listed buildings, and fellow spa town Matlock Bath. If you don’t mind travelling a bit further, Sheffield and Manchester can both be reached in an hour to an hour and a quarter. Also nearby is Castleton with Norman Peveril Castle and four show caves; if going underground is your thing, also check out the caves at Poole’s Cavern just outside Buxton. And there’s caving (and climbing) aplenty all around the Peak District National Park, along with stacks of outdoor pursuits like hot air ballooning, gliding, watersports and biking the Tissington and Manifold trails.
