Liked The pitches were really spacious and we liked the toilet and wash facilities. The pitches are well kept and flat.
Disliked It is near a busy road which makes it easy to get to but you can hear road noise throughout the night. It's also a shame that the pub is closed as the nearest pub means you have to walk down the busy road for a time.
Would definitely recommend. Good location to all the trails and walks.

Lovely site and good facilities
Powered grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Very clean toilets and quiet site
Disliked Quite a few kids having a water fight with water bonbs outside our pitch so flooded the tap area
A great campsite for visiting the High Peak District.
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Really enjoyed our stay here. Lovely and well maintained site with spacious pitches and great facilities. We stayed here at the end of October and it was a very quiet, peaceful few days. The main road is not far away, but at night we didn't notice any noise from traffic. There are multiple water points around the site, and the toilets and showers were hot and clean. The wifi is also very good, as is 4G phone signal (on 3 at least). A great location to visit the High Peak District, and only a few miles from Buxton. There is an Aldi about 4 miles away. A very enjoyable stay, really reasonable price, and we would definitely visit again.
Would stay again. Can’t complain for the ease of everything.
Non-electric bell tent
Liked Liked the ease of having a pub right next to where we were staying.
Showers were nice and warm.
The fire pit and picnic bench was good.
Disliked The bell tent we stayed in could have done with a clean on the outside.
There wasn’t a designated tap for drinking water.
Lovely campsite with friendly staff. Clean facilities. Huge pitch.

Powered grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Electric pitches and washing facilities where excellent.
Reasonably priced.
Disliked Showers were poorly installed so you had to leane over the tap to get under the water as the Showers where low powered wich normally isent a problem but due to being tall and the odd way the taps where installed made it awkward to shower.
Also the shower block didn't have any curtains inside the stalls to prevent cloths/towls from getting wet from the showe or flour guard not block to prevent the same for shoes not a problem in single sex showers block only an issue in these unisex ones.
