Small pitch, cleanliness of the toilets/showers

Good toilet facilities

Was cramped tent pitches, all very close together.

Lovely clean site, has a nice play area that the kids seemed to all love. Nice woods alongside to walk the dog. Clean toilets with warm showers. Ice creams at reception to buy was a nice treat. Friendly guy on arrival joked about and engaged with people on site alot.

A bit of confusion on arrival with pitch size etc and saying no gazebo booked but sorted for us and we had a lovely pitch (maybe some teething issues with pitch up?)
In time a second toilet block, or even changing the middle cabin/waste unit to the main toilet blocks would be good 👍

Good showers and toilets, plenty of loo roll! Plenty of hot water
Friendly and helpful staff.
About 20 minutes from Matlock and Cromford
Lower field looked really nice and open, play area is down there but appears to be all non electric pitches
Barrier security and cctv

Middle section feels cramped when full Needs a freezer for ice blocks
Toilets/showers could do with cleaning more often- mop available but always sat in filthy water - maybe more signs asking people to clean up after themselves!
No recycling points!

We had a pitch on the bottom field right near the park. This was perfect for the kids and got lots of children playing games and having fun. Toilets/showers are clean and well kept. Friendly helpful staff. Ice creams and few drinks in the office.

Long walk up hill to the toilet from the bottom field which is where the kids park is
Pot washing is also near the toilet so you get your steps in! It’s a mix of disliked first thing in the morning or middle of the night but no issue in the day!

Shame somebody wasn’t picking their dog poo up in the bottom field!!

Fantastic camping park, nice play area for the kids, grounds are nice and clean no litter anywhere, electric hookup available and the toilet/shower amenities were perfect, nice and clean no matter the time great area for cleaning the pots and pans too

Tidy and clean cabin with a very helpful fenced seating area for our small dog to wander. Hot tub was perfectly prepared for our arrival!

Really clean campsite, kids loved it

Good levels of security with CCTV across the site, fences around the majority of the site, but there was a gap in the fencing in the bottom of the tent (non electric pitches) and electronic barriers in and out.
The shop sells reasonably priced ice creams, fire lighters and logs etc but nothing camping related (pegs, ropes etc).
The new and only toilet block, located next to the site office, is of good size; with 4 cubicles, and 4 showers plus 3 sinks inside and 3 big sinks outside for pot washing. The site is clearly marked with a 5MPH, 1 way system and there is ample parking for visitors too. There is a children’s park with barking chippings and ample grass space around it.

The toilet blocks appear to get cleaned once a day, as both I and my partner experienced no toilet roll or no soap in the toilets. Yet when they had been cleaned, they were immaculate inside. In the gents there was a massive puddle in the entrance, which I squeegeed in to the shower drain, but had been well trampled in before I went to use the toilet.
Whilst there are two areas which have a total of 7 big industrial bins, there was litter across the site that wasn’t collected over a 3 day period (ice cream wrappers, empty cans, crisp packets). Even though the warden does walk the site with his dog, it was a shame that this wasn’t ever picked up. Our pitch also had rubbish left on it from the previous guests, but given the 30min change over window I suppose the wardens might not be able to check all vacated pitches, and this is more lack of respect of those leaving. The pitches, except for handstanding are on quite a slope, so be prepared to adjust your usual sleeping configuration. The park has quite a lot of graffiti and damage, that if repaired would improve the safety of children using it.
There was also a “rubbish pile” that has a large burnt tree and then a pile of broken bricks, and broken pottery. This was approximately 60m away from the children’s park and wasn’t fenced off; it had some ticker tape on 3 sides but this didn’t prevent access and could have caused an injury should children inadvertently access it.

Yes the facilities were clean and well maintained.

We kept getting a drain smell that was off putting when sitting outside.
