What customers say
A popular, well-kept spot with great facilities, especially for families: a big play area & clean pool. Stunning Peak District views & trail access. Staff are friendly. Most loved it, though some said toilets/showers were far from pitches & needed updating.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Will not be returning, glamping is supposed to be glam its in the name
Camping pod
Liked The views were stunning, the campsite wasn’t too loud. Despite being told bedding wasn’t provided, it was. The pods were quite roomy
Disliked It wasn’t glamping, it was more like being on a school trip in a shed. Every other glamping pod I’ve stayed at has had a glamorous aspect, tea, coffee, a kettle, sometimes even a small fridge and a way to cook. Empty pods had their outside lights left on all night by the cleaning crew. Our shower was used by someone else, we only left it unlocked so that we could all shower one after another without having to lock and unlock each time. As far as glamping goes we will not be returning. There was nothing to make this a better experience than camping other than there being proper beds. These should not be advertised as glamping pods, just enclosed pods or sheds with beds. Nothing glamorous to report at all. Check in was far too late considering check out time. You don’t get to spend your first day doing anything other than unpack and figure out a way to cook without a cooker, microwave and a no bbq rule.

Our new favourite site in Ashbourne.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The safe were all so nice and friendly across site. Especially in the shop, where they made our children feel happy. The site is absolutely immaculate. The park is great too. Swimming pool well controlled and not crowded.
Disliked The only slight problem is the toilets for the bottom camping field is a good walk. Not so ideal on the evenings.

Despite the above, we really enjoyed the visit and would def. return!
Camping pod
Liked The location, the size of the pod, individual bathrooms and washing up sinks next to the pod, accessibility to Tissington trail, the swimming pool, and the playground.
Disliked Lack of coffee/tea facilities. The park could benefit from a decent coffee/tea facilities, or a little cafe. The truck that is on offer with food and drinks is open in limited hours and although the food was good, it was also quite limited and no vegetarian options.

Disappointed return visit, Left early & not sure will visit again!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Easy Location
Great for walks & exploring
Onsite park & swimming pool great for the kids
Site is clean
Disliked Non Electric Camping was on a hill, this made it a very uncomfortable & impossible stay. Whilst sleeping you was sliding in your sleeping bags, eating & drinking at a table was impossible due to the plates/cups sliding on the table.
There is no toilet/shower block for the non electric campers and you have to walk 5 minutes to the main faculties - not suitable with children especially late at night/early morning. Ended up leaving a day early. Sadly won’t be returning.

Would not return
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Very clean and tidy. Toilet/shower facilities good. Really good park area fir children.
Disliked Washing up facilities not central. Quite a walk for a lot of the pitches. Dog walk good but chased by cows and no warning signs about cows. Pitch we were in was very uneven. Expected even pitch at the price we paid

Excellent site, clean facilities, staff very helpful.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)
Liked The scenery and hills were beautiful, long winding roads, people were generous with their support and time, always willing to give their best effort in making us, outsiders, welcome.
Disliked Not much, but possibly add a Elsan chemical waste area nearer to the tourist toilets.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Nice site but the lack of standards and site policing spoilt our stay.
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Nice layout, nice little park and the pool was fairly decent. The toilets are clean and in good condition. The shop has everything you may need but is unfairly expensive.
Disliked Pool a bit grubby and it’s not fair if you have booked a slot that other people are allowed in spoiling our allotted time.
Really hated how you put a family with a 2 year old next to the clamping pods that were fully booked up with a very large, scummy and obnoxious scouse family whose kids were running feral until 2330. And we were far away from the toilets which is not ideal with a toddler. We left the next day rather than see out our allotted time. The lack of policing and monitoring what goes on within the site spoiled what should have been a nice relaxing stay. Will go back to callow top in future.
