Clover Meadow Camping

Aimé Location is great, we had a day at Chatsworth, another day at Bakewell and a day in chesterfield.

Non aimé It was very basic, which was ok for us but wouldn't have liked to have stayed more than the 3 days we were there. shower gels were empty and no loo rolls on one day, little things like that could have been better

Aimé This was a great campsite and was exactly as described. The location is great as it enabled us to access key trails within 30mins. I believed eve it was Kathy that we see every day making sure that the site was super tidy.

Aimé The shower and toilet facilities were kept clean and maintained regularly, which made our stay more comfortable.

Non aimé There was a large manure heap just outside the fence that was regularly added to by nearby farmers. Even though we were pitched on the far side of the field, the smell carried over whenever the wind changed direction, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the stay.

Aimé Bell tent set-up was great, super beds and bedding, nice touch welcome with handmade treats, Kath super friendly and available whenever needed. Shower was probably best we’ve had anywhere camping - clean, hot. We really enjoyed the whole weekend!

Non aimé It’s the great outdoors so take some midge repellant or citronella - they’re not around all the time but when they’re there they’re there! Toilets are a long drop so get ready to hold your nose!

Aimé Bell tent was fabulous, lovely touch of eye masks, ear plugs, little bears for the children and cakes on arrival! Showers were fantastic and warm. Owner was very friendly and accommodating.

Non aimé The toilets but great for long drop toilets! No access to drinking water.

Aimé Friendly owner and clean site

Non aimé Drinking water not readily available, although Kathy said she would bring some for us.

Aimé The quirky showers; hot and great pressure - although they won't last long due to the wooden board (it needs some plastic or something to protect it)

The location.

Great interaction with the owner.

The size of the pitch is great and the field is level for perfect pitching.

The padlocked entrance is good.

Clean facilities.

Non aimé Please don't view the following as huge criticisms of your site, because they are not intended for that purpose. This site has great potential. We know the site is undergoing planning permission, the points below are really easy fixes... we wish you well in the future of Clover Meadow Campsite.

The grass is ridiculously long (when driving across the field the caution light and beeper was activated in the car to tell us we were in danger of a collision!) - this is also a breeding ground for midges (of which there were loads!) - If the owners mowed some drive tracks for customers and pitches this would make the experience so much better.

No washing up area (even though this is listed as an amenity on pitchup) - a simple fix would be to install a couple of stainless steel sinks and a plastic roof the same as the shower blocks to link the toilets and showers with hot water (hooked up the same as the showers) and some quality warm white solar lights would really improve that area.

Nowhere to wash your hands after using the toilets - the sink attached to the shower blocks only has cold water and needs warm water instead to be a hand wash area (owners provide hand sanitiser)

The charge for dogs seems a bit excessive, no amenities for dogs provided e.g. doggy shower or separate dog/exercise area.

Could not find the freezer area for the freezing ice packs either (as stated on pitchup)

The farmer on the adjacent field turned over the compost and soil right next to the camping field which added to the number of midges being hatched. Nothing that the campsite could do about this, but worth noting for anyone going to the campsite to not pitch near the two dry stone walls which is where the farmer stores his compost and manure.

Aimé This was a surprise glamping trip for our boys, due to my recent back injury we were unable to use our own tent (season campers).On opening the tent it was beautifully presented and clean, beds are super comfy, smelled devine and loved the extra little touches - small bear for the kids waiting on there beds, water and amazing home made cake. Showers were hot and toilets were kept clean. Kathy is a lovely welcoming host, nothing is to much trouble!! Nice seating area outside to watch the stars at night, great field for the kids to let off steam. Location was very central with many attractions within a 15/20 minute drive. If your wanting total off grid camping experience this is the place to go. We look forward to coming back next season. Wish you all the best with your future plans.

Non aimé (These are not dislikes more of a recommendation as we know this is a new site and awaiting further planning) super great eco friendly site..could do with a larger area with hot water & sinks to wash pots and pans and maybe a few solor lights around the toilet and shower areas for night time.

Aimé Kathy was a great host and the location was perfect for a weekend break.
The interior of the glamping tents are fab and super comfy. Showers were warm and much better pressure than I expected. Facilities are basic but everything you need!
