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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Good toilet and shower facilities which were very clean and well maintained. Lovely setting with play area and dog walks on site. Convenient location close to Ashbourne and within ready access of Peak District tourist attractions.

Disliked: Toilets/showers closed for cleaning from 10.00-11.00 am in the week which is a little early. Shower block is also some distance from tent field.

Will definitely be back again.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The location was very nice. Adequate facilities on site. The nearest pub was a bit of nightmare to walk to. As the main road is like a race track. With no footpaths. Enjoyed the bus ride to Ashbourne. Very nice place.

Disliked: The fact that the site is dog friendly as long as they are kept on a leash. But a lot of people seemed to let them run around loose.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely site within short distance of plenty of attractions.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: We travelled in our tentbox it was our first time. We were with family in their caravans they've travelled a few times. We were all put together which was fab. The pitches were plenty big enough with lots of room. Facilities were very good nice and clean. What I did like was the campsite owner's took a walk around the site and spoke to everyone very friendly.

Disliked: Only 3 showers for the whole site, not exactly a dislike more of a could probably do with a few more showers other than that more than happy.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Clean site but way too noisy and too many kids running around.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Toilets are nice and clean. Good information shed with local info. Nice walks nearby.

Disliked: Small pitches. Lots of children running around the tent area and dog walk. Noisy in the evening and at night. So noisy that me and my partner took our chairs onto the dog walk field for a bit of peace then we got harassed by the warden who accused us of "inappropriate behaviour". It was very uncomfortable after that and we ended up leaving a day early.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely site, friendly arrival, nice flat pitch (not all are flat), very clean washrooms, beautiful views, nice play park, lovely and quiet, close to Ashbourne for the shops, great for Alton Towers at only 25 mins through the lanes.

Disliked: The Taps accross the board are a pain in the backside, I read the other reviews on here when making my booking and totally underestimated how frustrating they are. The dish washing station and bathrooms sinks stay on for 1-3 seconds max and the showers for 5 seconds max, real pain when trying to wash children (especially girls).

Ground very rocky, wrote off a good 20 odd pegs on this trip.

More bins required, closer to the pitch, only bins by the entrance or the dishwashing room.

Advised the gates would be locked at a certain time and locked all night for safety. Gates left open throughout the duration of our stay.

Really nice and secluded feel. Great facilities and a really peaceful atmosphere.…
