Peak district surroundings

  • Well-equipped Derbyshire touring site with easy access from the A517
  • A 10-minute drive to Ashbourne and the edge of the Peak District
  • Dog-friendly site a mile from Hulland Ward's village pub and farm shop
Parking up for the Peak District? Take your tourer off to Ashbourne Touring and Camping Park, a well-equipped park in a handy spot just off the A517 a mile from the village of Hulland Ward. Easy access from the main road means it’s nice and straightforward to get set up at this Derbyshire site – and that location also means you’ll be handily close to the village’s pub and farm shop (a useful source of supplies for your barbecue back at base). Bus services from the stop just outside can take you into nearby Ashbourne – or you can drive over there in about 10 minutes. In fact, everything here has been designed to make life nice and easy for guests, with well-kept ample toilet and shower facilities, a chemical disposal area, a washing-up area and a launderette provided. Dogs are welcome to join you on site as long as they're well behaved. The wifi service provided is also likely to come in handy, given that you'll probably want to plan lots of days out around the area. The edge of the Peak District National Park is about 10 minutes' drive away, as is the start of the traffic-free Tissington Trail, so you'll be in a good position for getting out to explore the lovely landscapes. And there are plenty of other attractions around too, including Alton Towers and the Chatsworth estate.

What customers say

Lovely, quiet campsite. Staff are friendly and helpful, with spotless facilities and spacious pitches. Great for dog walking and kids. Close to Peak District. Minor Wi-Fi and wasp issues noted, but most guests will return.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The site is located in a lovely area, the park is kept lovely and clean around the grounds. The lady in reception was very friendly and helpful and so was the gentleman who helped me roll my tent up to fit in the bag. Everyone was friendly and adhered to the rules with regard to by 10.30pm you never heard a sound.

Disliked The only thing that lets it down is the showers, the shower curtains could do with being washed more often.

Lynne A.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Excellent site with the most friendly wardens who do a great job keeping everything looking nice. Pitch was spacious and despite being next to the play area we were never bothered by noise. Showers and toilets were adequate. We've seen better and worse. They close for an hour each day for cleaning so if you shower just before cleaning they can be messy. Great location for lots of walks. We walked into the village the long way via the dog walk track. Also very friendly hosts and good food at the Nags Head so would recommend.

Disliked Nothing. Some waste bins in the lower field would be more convenient but it didn't harm us to walk a bit further.

WiFi connection was intermittent but this is not a deal breaker and it is quite refreshing to switch off
