  • Peaceful family-friendly spot in the Peak District National Park
  • Hiking, rock climbing, potholing and caving within 30 minutes
  • A 45-minute drive from the rides and rollercoasters at Alton Towers
Stunning countryside, spectacular views and a whole lot of get-up-and-go… If that ticks everything off your getaway bucket list, make tracks for Newhaven Holiday Park, a family-friendly site in the tiny hamlet of Newhaven 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire's Buxton. Inside the Peak District National Park, Newhaven is a top spot for energetic types: the High Peak trail passes less than a mile from the site, and you can pick up the Tissington Trail at nearby Hartington Station (or start from Ashbourne, 20 minutes away, to do the whole thing). If you’re of an even more active persuasion – with a daredevil streak perhaps – there’s rock climbing, potholing and caving half an hour away in the High Peak area of the park. You don’t have to go clambering over hills and dales to get a good look at the Peak District though: this site is in a secluded spot, with views over the countryside and plenty of trees and shrubs for shelter. Kick back and relax among all the greenery while the kids run riot in the playground. Ready for something to munch? For anything more substantial, pull a chair up to the table at one of the many restaurants within 20 minutes of Newhaven.

Neat, tidy campsite, friendly staff. Great loos & showers, kids' play area. Good base for Peak District exploring. Noise from road and sloped pitches noted. WiFi/mobile signal weak.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We had a great stay. The grounds are nice and mostly kept well. Clean toilet/shower block.

Disliked Food from the shop was very close to ‘best before’ date and the chocolate that I purchased was out of date and awful (didn’t realised until I had eaten some of it). The wood chipping on playground would gather and big clumps and make it difficult for my toddler to walk without falling on. There was also a number of lights flickering in the toilet block. Can hear lots of planes, trains and vehicles during the night.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked The play area was perfect for the kids, the toilet facilities were clean and the site itself was scenic and well maintained.

Disliked Showers lasted for a burst of around 5 seconds once the button was pressed which made showering was frustrating

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Shower room was very clean, shame about the push timer button for the showers. But very clean which counteracts that. Shop well stocked. Helpful staff. Very clean site.

Disliked Button timers for all the sinks and showers.

Abby R.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Park for the kids they enjoyed it the grounds was kept nice and tidy . It was nice and quite our pitch was close to the road so we had traffic noise but we are heavy sleepers - lovely walks a small walk away

Showers nice and hot but they don’t stay on for long

No signal the paid WiFi is poor

Disliked Ladies changing rooms smelt really strong of sewage due to an on ongoing drainage issue and sometimes the soap had run out they was cleaned regularly though

Our pitch had a slight incline we was lucky to have the pitch at that wasn’t on as high as a incline as the rest

Recommend to friends Visit again

Local attractions

This is Austen country, so you can barely turn around without tripping over some stately pile of bricks... If you fancy gliding around as if you own the place, adopt an air of wealth and superiority and head to Kedleston Hall, Sudbury Hall (with its Museum of Childhood), Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and The Old Manor, all within roughly half an hour’s drive of Newhaven, then chauffeur yourself over to Melbourne Hall, just under an hour away. Hols with kids are pretty easy in these parts too, as there’s absolutely oodles to distract them with within an hour of the site: make your way to Matlock for the Heights of Abraham alpine cable car and Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park (and the Crich Tramway Museum, Peak District Mining Museum and Masson Mills for some grownup sanity). Also get along to Buxton for treetop adventuring at Go Ape; underground exploration at Poole’s Cavern, and Alton Towers for some adrenaline-fuelled rides. If traipsing around on land isn’t really floating your boat, spend a day (or two) at Carsington Water, less than half an hour away, for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, powerboating and fishing, or head to WaterWorld (just outside Stoke-on-Trent) for some indoor waterpark splashing around.
