Camping at The Hollies

A aimé : The site has a beautiful view of The Roaches. It was nice and easy to find, and there are several nice pubs nearby. It's also ideally located for visiting Tittesworth Water. The owners are friendly and seemed to have a laissez-faire attitude towards campers which was refreshing. There's also a pizza van on-site offering fresh sourdough pizzas.

N'a pas aimé: It would be nice to have a dedicated shower and toilet block, as the prefab facilities are a bit basic.

A aimé : Good communication. Really easy to get firewood as they come to you with it. Very relaxed campsite, good location and nice and quiet

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks Elby , so kind 🙂

A aimé : Great site, the couple who own it are great and always around for you if you need help. The fields were very muddy so we got stuck but they came straight away to help us.

A aimé : Wonderful atmosphere, warm welcome, easy access to toilets and showers, brilliant location, quick drive to Buxton or local walks/lakes,only downside was the rain but that can’t be helped

A aimé : Nothing at all.

N'a pas aimé: The guy on the tractor is very rude. He was fine with our fire pit and wood. When the kids got dead wood he said I’m not impressed and if I catch you doing that again I’ll kick you off. Then I went to make a tree swing and he came over and said I don’t think so I ripped it down and snatched any other rope off us and said I’ll be having that! Then wow just wow, there was a woman and man with a few dogs which to be fair were on leads but they said if they got off they’d rip my dog apart! Enough was enough we left first thing in the morning. The man on the tractor was not approachable to complain to. He never said hi I’m bla bla. Would 💯 not recommend to anyone with kids. I go camping a few times a year and never felt so uncomfortable.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Unfortunately we had to speak to Victoria and her children this weekend true, we spoke to them on several occasions due to their behaviour. Victoria clearly states in this review that they had snapped branches off our trees, they were spoken to about keeping their dog on a lead, as she says even other campers spoke to them regarding this. I think Victoria's main problem here is when we caught her and her son, attaching rope to a branch on a tree above another families tent, we said that wasn't safe to do and asked for our rope back, that they had taken from somewhere. ?? If this branch had broken off not only could her son have been hurt but the other family and their property. I guess some people just think they can do anything they like and don't like being asked to consider others. We have had hundreds of kids here this weekend with no problems whatsoever, we had a large group of dad's and children who come every year. They love it and they are more than welcome. This family had no respect for other campers or our property but luckily for us they say they wouldn't return 👍 Typically they leave us the negative review which stems from their very poor behaviour.

A aimé : The area is fantastic. Walking on the doorstep.

N'a pas aimé: Pitches are too close together. Couldn’t see any fire safety arrangements anywhere. It suggests quiet after 10pm -not a chance! Only 4 showers and 8 toilets for whole site which was packed Description said it was basic it definitely was!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Scott, it was the bank holiday weekend hun, we along with pretty much every other campsite in the country (that wasn't waterlogged) were packed. It gets me that people think they will book the bank holiday weekends and expect the place to be quiet. We hired in extra toilets to cope and have received lots of 10/10 for us this weekend. Everytime I personally went to clean them there was no waiting. Your absolutely correct, we do advertise as basic and we are ?? I don't just get that, your complaining that we are what we say we are 🤣 If you had a problem with noise why didn't you say anything? We come round the field every night...so you had 3 opportunities there and my number is also on the board as you enter the site....you know where you saw that noise down by 10pm...its right there on the same sign. Why didn't you ring or text? We don't advertise a play area for kids?? (But there is a great park for children just 10 minutes walk away) Again I'm not too sure about that comment 🤣 you can't book a campsite knowing it's basic with no play area then leave a 4 because its exactly that. Honestly 🤦‍♀️

A aimé : Everything! The site itself is a good size, with 3 (I think) fields, we stayed in field 2. We visited on May bank holiday so it was busy but that didn’t effect our stay at all. We never queued once for the toilets or showers, we hired a campfire, wood & kindling for £10. There is a pizza van on site serving breakfast and pizzas while also selling some essentials such as toothpaste & shower gel. Pizza was DELICIOUS and fairly priced (£13). Great location for amazing walks & 10 minute drive to Asda/morrisons/lidl etc. Site is dog friendly and we will definitely be visiting the site again!

N'a pas aimé: Nothing to dislike about the site! It had been raining before we arrived so ground was slightly boggy but that’s not an issue for us at all as it’s expected anywhere :) If we were to say anything, it would maybe have hot water in the sinks to clean up dishes but no biggie, we just boiled some water up and we were good to go! :)

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hey Aleksejs, great to see you all back again, we love it when our campers return 😊

A aimé : Loads of space, pitch where you like, even though it was pretty full everyone was respectful and no problems with noise. Toilets clean and plentiful. Friendly owners. Pizza wagon on site over bank holiday. Great site, good location.

N'a pas aimé: Could have done with a shelf or hook near sink, not the easiest to get washed when tiny sink and no hot water or anywhere to put things down.
