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.

A nice place to stay and definitely recommend for a few nights
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked A really nice place to spend some time
Great swimming pool
good shop and facilities
Disliked Shouldn't put child friendly bin in the play area where food is consumed
Seems like a good idea but the open bin attracts hundreds of wasps.
Bin should be outside the play area and fully sealed.
Could do with a toilet block at the top tent pitch.
Nothing special needed just a toilet as can be a trek if needed at night.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Loved the quiet nature of the place. Lots of space for kids to run about
The pool is a great extra- it did seem to be very strong in chlorine though.
Nice grass pitches
Disliked Shower block near where we camped could be improved.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The big Park!
Disliked The slopped field for tents!
Recommend to friends Visit again
Very expensive for what it was.
Camping pod
Liked The location was nice
Disliked Our pod was very very basic. It was right next to the road too our dogs weren’t ever allowed to be without a lead. There was nothing to do on the site and the pool was closed. A kettle in the pod would have been nice for a morning cuppa

Such a shame, the cost without the quality, its a no from me.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)
Liked Great location with easy access to the Tissington Trail.
Disliked This site cost considerably more than similar sites in the area, but we were happy to pay a premium for a swimming pool. The pool was closed the first day, we were reassured it would be open the second day - it wasn't.
Every single cubicle in the ladies and gents toilets were without toilet paper for the entirety of one morning (Saturday).

Nice and clean site. Park good for children.
Camping pod
Liked Nice and clean site. Children loved the park. Shop was okay. Nice little pork/chips hut open on a few of the nights.
Disliked Swimming pool is a hit and miss due to only allowing 24 in at time. The pool was out of order the day we was due to go because of the water. The site could have let guests know but instead they waiting untill children were dressed and at the door before knowing we was unable to use it. More signage is needed to find reception. Women on reception need to smile more and be more welcoming. Cost for WiFi is too much. £8 a day!!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Site was well maintained and clean staff friendly. Burger van was great good value and quality food.
Disliked Toilets were quite a long way from the field where our tent was pitched especially with 2 young girls. The pool was closed due to a maintained issue for the duration of our Stay. Which was disappointing as this was the main reason we picked this site as had stayed here before in a pod and girls loved the pool.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Everything was nice about the camp site and the facilities.
Disliked Only a small issue, but it was hard to get a time slot to use the swimming pool and if it could be open until 5 instead of 4 then would perhaps give more possibility of having a swim.
The price was a bit steep for myself and my son for a non-electric pitch. The pitch could have up to 6 people, but I felt there should be a discount if less people or smaller tent.

Good campsite with lots of facilities. Electric pitches seem better.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Good facilities; fantastic playground, swimming pool (need to book), decent shop, washing up area, modern toilets, and lots of camping types. Roads were very well maintained and was a safe place to bring children.
Non electric pitch was quiet and large.
Disliked Non electric field was very sloped and very busy when we arrived. Field was quite far from facilities; sort of feels like non electric is a bit forgotten about with no facilities nearby. Electric pitches either had good views, or were near the playground and were flat.
The toilets and showers, although modern and clean when we arrived were pretty disgusting by the end of it, and seemed like they were maybe cleaned once in the four days we were there based upon what I saw.
Given it was the most expensive non electric we saw in the area it probably didn't justify the price point.
