  • Small touring site for CAMC members only at a Derbyshire village pub
  • Ashbourne and Alton Towers both 15 minutes' drive away
  • Meals and wide range of drinks available in the friendly pub
Parking up by the pub is a fine idea for several reasons – the most important of those being that you’ll be able to have a few drinks of an evening without any worries about having to drive anywhere. That’s the particularly enticing attraction for Roston Inn Certificated Location, a Caravan and Motorhome Club members-only site is in the grounds of a friendly Derbyshire pub which is open from 5pm on weekdays and from 12pm on weekends. Once you arrive, you’re likely to want to settle in for a while, either cosying up by the log burner or soaking up the fresh air from one of the outdoor tables. There’s a good range of cask ales, wines and other drinks to choose from, and a tempting food menu of pub classics, grills and kids’ dishes. Working up an appetite for all this should be pretty easy, as there are heaps of excellent days out nearby, from hikes in the Peak District National Park and watersports at Carsington Water to action-packed days at Alton Towers. Back at the pub, you’ll be staying at a small site where the grass touring pitches have hardstanding underneath for sturdiness, electric hookups are included and there are lovely views out over the surrounding countryside. Guests are welcome to pitch up, enjoy the view and then say hello to the owners in the pub when it opens. Toilets and washing facilities are accessible 24 hours per day, and there's a chemical disposal point for guest use as well. Ashbourne and Uttoxeter (both 15 minutes' drive) are your best bets for things like supermarkets, although you should certainly stop in at the Denstone Hall Farm Shop (five minutes) for local treats.

What customers say

Small, peaceful site next to a welcoming pub with good food. Grass pitches, generally level; choose your own spot. Basic facilities, some need updating. Close to Alton Towers. Pitches can get muddy when wet.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (members only)

Liked A friendly, small, basic and peaceful site. Grassed over hardstanding which was level and tidy. A warm welcome on arrival and the pub staff were always friendly and approachable. Pub is nice and prices are fine, although we didn't eat here. There is a singular toilet and shower, which is basic and could do with a bit of a makeover and a lightbulb. Fresh water and a disposal point provided. For a quiet (aside from a little farm traffic), budget stopover, it is very good. Within 15 minutes of numerous towns and attractions

Disliked Shower needs renovation

Liked A nice little site with eight pitches right next to a very nice pub serving good food. This site had 24hr toilet and shower. Water and elsan point. Everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Disliked Facilities were a little tired but functional. Some parts of the site were not level.

Liked Location was perfect. In the country side and close to Alton Towers (the reason we booked as others were full)

Disliked Toilets and shower block was awful. No lighting so had to shower with a torch in the evening. The shower leaked from the cubicle which then flooded the toilet cubicle and sink area. (No mop to clean it up) It was dirty and smelt of damp.
There wasn't anywhere to get rid of your waste.
We definitely wouldn't stop again, using the bathroom facilities was not pleasant for our young children!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (members only)

Liked Lovely views and reasonably flat pitch. Staff in pub nice and beer was good

Disliked Pitch was grass, but was described as hardstanding and grass - there was no hardstanding. Area very small.
Toilets / shower, while private for use of site, were very basic and not well kept at all - in fact seemed very run down
Pub is up for sale which may explain why the place looked run down

Liked The pub was lovely. Fantastic food, friendly local punters and the lady running it all was down to earth, knowledgeable of the local area and really friendly. She was accommodating for our yappy dog.
The pitch was big, clean and level.

Disliked The field was small for maneuvering the caravan, however once in place there was plenty of room.

Liked Lovely quiet spot, except for the odd farming vehicle but very few. It's a simple field but that's all you need. Lovely little pub, friendly mom and daughter run this and friendly locals. Great food, large portions. Basic toilet and shower, clean and perfect for a weekend stay. WIFI okay but we had a booster, but you go to quiet places to get away from the constraints of mobiles.
Would definitely go again.
