A aimé This was a very quiet site despite being quite a large one with over 80 pitches. We went with friends in their camper and the site put us in next door pitches, as requested, and even suggested we swap the pitches they'd allocated so we could set up the awnings next to each other. The showers and loo's were clean and hot water not a problem.

N'a pas aimé It was quite a treck to the bins at the entrance to the site and no recycling was apparent.
We also thought the gap to go through to the lower part of the site was quite tight to get the caravan through because of the turning angle.
Lastly, the further you got from the office the less the WiFi worked so the reception where we were was quote poor. Maybe a booster in the lower part of the site could solve this??

A aimé Reception was manned when we arrived and the gentleman there was very helpful and showed us to our pitch. (Be warned you need rock pegs this time of year if you want to put up an awning on the hardstanding). Despite there not being a shop, reception sold drinks and basic supplies.

Toilet and shower block together with the dish washing area were clean with plenty of hot water despite the site being full. Yes, it isn't all mod cons but perfectly usable, with floor squeegees available to clear up any excess water left after showering.
There was the inevitable queue for the ladies showers in the morning, partly because the site was full, partly because younger children tend to shower with their mums so the turn around wasn't that quick, however we showered before we went to bed to avoid the queue.

The Wifi is at its strongest at reception and tails off quite quickly as you move away. We did see a repeater near the toilet blocks but it clearly wasn't work. It wasn't really an issue as we had downloaded some things to watch before we left for the site. EE phone reception however was shocking, sometimes it wouldn't even send a message.

Everyone seemed to respect the quiet hours and we slept really well.

Would happily pitch up there again.

N'a pas aimé The only thing we felt was missing was a place to recycle cans/cardboard/bottles etc. That said, we just brought it home with us to recycle.

A aimé The place is clean and quiet. The lady who showed us the site where we were allocated shes very nice and polite explained everything what we need and very accommodating with our needs and even allow us to celebrate with friends who came and visited us. Unlimited electric power i brought my hair drier, rice cooker, kettle and my mini cooler/ fridge and theres no problem at all.

N'a pas aimé Nothing much despite a long walk from our grass pitch to the toilet but that wont affect us

A aimé Overall this was a decent campsite. The facilities were good and a great location for Carsington Water for water sports and walking and Dovedale.

N'a pas aimé EE coverage here and in the immediate area is pretty poor. Whilst this is not the campsites problem, WiFi is. The WiFi on site was really poor, in fact over the bank holiday none existent which was a real issue for us but maybe not for other campers.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hello, it is very disappointing that you felt a 1 was necessary for your 4 day stay with us.
There may not have been staff in sight when you arrived, but a clear note on the door was left for you with all the information needed for you stay and a pitch number with a map, there is also a contact number on the door for any issues that may arise. There would have been staff in reception every morning at 09.00 and staff cleaning the toilet block every day between 10.00 - 11.00 for you to have approached for your concerns, we could have moved you to another pitch. We do except groups of families and friends which are normally well behaved, we have never had any issues.

A aimé Very peaceful site, great dog walking fields. Toilet and showers kept very clean.

N'a pas aimé No wardens there when we arrived. Reception locked up. They’d left a leaflet with pitch number, site rules, ext pinned on the board. Would of been nice to have an email explaining this.
