Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Freedom go where you want nice and flat very friendly owners
Recommend to friends Visit again
Fantastic site with lovely views of the Derbyshire Dales.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly staff, pleasant and well-kept grounds, no pitch restrictions (just go ahead and choose your own), clean toilets with wonderfully warm showers (£1 for 5 mins), "on site" shop for snacks.
Disliked Perhaps disliked is too strong a term, but the "on site" shop didn't stock alcohol; some might consider this a bonus. I mention this only as the closest shop is many miles away. There is a nearby pub, but you will have to negotiate a short section of busy road.

Loved the site, set up, family friendly situation, would return.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Loved the play park and amount of families - my son had an amazing time playing on the park and making friends.
The toilets and pot washing area was really well laid out and cleaned regularly. I didn’t use the showers but they looked good too.
Great little shop on site for any bits you need.
Guy on reception was super helpful and always around to answer queries.
We actually stayed an extra night we were having such a good time.
Great price for what we got.
Disliked Whilst this wouldn’t put me off going again, it was sometimes noisy with the kids playing on the park and some of the nearby quarry works. However, the enjoyment my son got from the park and the set up of the site generally far outweighed any negatives for me. And the site was well managed and quiet by 10ish.
WiFi didn’t work for my friend but I had enough signal not to worry.

Enjoyed our overnight stay on our way to Alton Towers.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Being able to choose pitch and be close to the park and facilities. The shop being open until 8pm, friendly staff. Very scenic and family friendly.
Disliked Felt like the kids were being policed a little bit on the play area. Appreciate that there has to be some rules however, kids are kids and just want to have fun and make use of what is on offer for them.
The noise from the nearby quarry is quite loud.
We weren't given WiFi info....didn't affect our overall stay but I think site info should be given on arrival.

A very good option and perfect for kids.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The campsite has a good kids park right in the middle which is great. The shop is good and open most of the day. At weekends the pizza van is really nice. The pigs are part of the furniture there. The location is great for lots of walks, visiting Robin Hoods Stride, Matlock, Middleton Top etc we’ve stayed here many many times over the years.
Disliked There was an annoying very large group of blocks which kept us up late. Part of the risk of camping sometimes 🤷♂️
