Popular, well-kept site with great amenities, especially the large playground & clean pool, family favorites. Stunning Peak District location with Tissington Trail access. Friendly staff. Some mention distant, dated toilet/shower blocks.

Not even a smile from staff
One porta cabin toilet block ( cladded to look nicer) bins overflowing & rubbish not removed.
Grass pitches very close together

Some disrespectful campers which didn’t help… but that’s not the sites fault
No windbreaks or gazebos allowed ( although people did use them )

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely campsite, it is very well maintained with plenty of room between tents. We camped in Dale View which was perfect for us as away from the main area but close enough to the toilets and showers.
You can have a car free day and spend all day on site making use of the park, pool and access to Tissington Trail.
Disliked Need more washing up stations for campers
Recommend to friends Visit again
Overall really happy and impressed, just a few tweaks would help.
Camping pod
Liked The pods were clean and offered the basic essentials for ‘camping’, along with bedding and pillows. With a 5 month old, the usual tent camping seemed too tricky, so this was a great alternative. The personal toilet/shower/sink was clean and well-kept. The grounds were well-kept and orderly. The playground was a blessing for young children and the shop on-site was handy too.
Disliked The swimming booking system doesn’t work and this isn’t made clear on the website info. You can’t book swimming until you check in, which isn’t until 4pm with camping pods but is much earlier with tents, so by the time we arrived to check in, all swimming slots were taken. I expressed my disappointment with this to the staff in reception, who did not seem too concerned or flexible, and kept just responding that this is the process in place- like this would help me explain to my 3 year old. However, by chance my sister-in-law was buying milk from the shop the next day and they had just opened another slot up for that day so we managed to get a slot. I’m not sure why this wasn’t offered when I was showing my disappointment about this but had my sister-in-law not have been in the shop at that time, we wouldn’t have known about it. It just doesn’t seem like the most effective system in place and I feel it could be reviewed.
