Riddings Wood Holiday Park

Liked Really friendly staff.
Great little playground space for the kids to play at.
Really quietened down in the evening with a general relaxed vibe.
Short 15 minute walk to two lovely little pubs.
Clean toilets, showers and washing up space.

Disliked Non electric pitches are mostly on a slope so limited number of ideal pitches available.

Liked Really liked this holiday park. Nice and small. With everything around you. Reception staff lovley and welcoming. We really enjoyed this site, the kids loved the park and the woods behind us with the dogs. It was very peaceful and the other campers around was friendly and respectful. Clean showers and toilets.

Disliked Would be better if the showers were on for long enough. Washing your hair with shampoo and having to press the shower on again as it kept turning off after 10 seconds each time was abit annoying. But other than that I had a lovley time.

Liked The playground was great. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice hot showers. Lovely walks nearby. Great to be surrounded by tall trees and woodland. Two great pubs a short walk away. One does nice food, the other shows sports and has a pool table.

Disliked The site is a hill. Some flat parts for tents. Would be great if there was a cafe nearby.

Liked Pitch size was really good, clean site overall.
Playground was great for the kids.
Toilet facilities were modern.
Staff were welcoming.
Easy to get to from the M1, although smaller streets to get to the site.
Plenty of food shops within 5-10 mins drive.
Was also able to order takeaways to the site for a night that we didn't feel like cooking, I'd recommend the local chinese.

Disliked Toilets ran out of paper a few times during busy times, maybe just carry your own to avoid this.
Toilet block was at the top of a hill on site compared to the tent area at the bottom, had to carry a torch to walk up at night.

Liked Facilities were well looked after, nice warm shower, friendly staff, in the shop there was options to buy things to make a fire with

Disliked Sewer smell throughout our stay which was really off putting. We were also on a slope, I know when you’re camping you’re out in nature but maybe they should block off the sloped pitches as it felt as though we were falling out of bed all night

Liked What a lovely place for our very first camping experience. The gentleman at the reception was lovely. I'm so pleased we was put in the area near the park our boys loved it. The shower and toilets was very clean.

Disliked I wish the shower and toilets was closer to where we was staying. It was quite a walk.
The area in the middle was very cramped we was very pleased not to have been placed there.

Liked Amazing facilities, all exceptionally clean.
Incredibly friendly staff and super helpful through out stay.
Very accommodating.

Disliked Pitches are very close together so when fully booked (as it was when we visited) it’s hard to have any privacy in your tent area.
Mainly family campers- including lots of dogs. (A few dogs in our area where not well behaved which made it hard to have a peaceful stay and quiet night)

Liked This was a really lovely stay. The lodge was just perfect with ample space for a family of 5 that includes 2 teenage boys. When we arrived everything was lovely and clean and the hot tub was ready to go.
The lodge has everything you need, including bedding and towels so that made packing easier.
Lovely sized bathroom and a very lovely shower. Literally can’t fault the lodge at all.

We had the very last lodge and it was very private from all of the others.

Reception were really lovely and check in was quick and speedy.

If you plan on having a fire then you must purchase some colourful powder from reception that changes the flame colour. It made our fire magical.

The location of the sight is perfect to explore gorgeous places such as Matlock and Bakewell.

Disliked The only grumble we had was the main road next to the lodges. It wasn’t quite as peaceful as we’d of liked but you got used to it eventually.
