The Racecourse Retreat

A aimé There was lots of space to each pitch and the field wasn’t too crowded. It was also good that they had a bar and some food on site and offered free fire pits to use. The facilities were also well cleaned (toilets, showers, washing up station). Staff were really friendly!

N'a pas aimé There were not a lot of showers for the amount of people and most days in the morning the water in the showers was not working - whether that was because too many people had used it or there was an issue I don’t know.

A aimé LOVED this camp site.
The best faculties I've ever seen. Everything was clean, and kept on top of. Plenty of space to choose and pitch up. We will be returning. On site bar just topped it off nicely.

A aimé Great views lots of room.

N'a pas aimé Was there with my partner and disabled son. I had a leaking car radiator from the bad roads. I was fixing my car with a few other campers only a hour fix. Owner come to us in morning woke me and my son up and kicked us of his site 2 days early no refund. We was stuck miles from home my son in tears. Lucky a farmer near by offered us to stay for free on his land. Needs more Toilets on site. Lots of fires on hot windy night what's a worry. Steep bumpy drive in if u like your car be careful

A aimé Peace and quiet. Views were amazing ! Space, there were only 3 pitches taken on our whole field. Ladies toilets clean and even had toiletries in which was a lovely touch.
We had a lovely down hill walk to the village where there were several lovely pubs (there is a route across the fields) however it’s a long long way back up up up hill !
On site marquee/bar looked great gutted was closed when we there mid week !

N'a pas aimé Showers although very clean you have to push to keep on every few seconds which I get to save water but maybe a little extra time in between pressing (coming from someone either long hair rinsing shampoo off was difficult!) but great for quick freshen up !
Extra charge for dogs

A aimé Amazing setting, really well maintained, clean toilets, friendly staff.

N'a pas aimé Not enough toilets/showers for the size of the site (I did overhear them saying this would be changing in the coming years)

There were a few large groups on site which were noisy (rectified when they were spoken to by site owners)

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Michelle
Thank you for your review.
We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
The dog exercise area is new for this year and it certainly seems to be a hit with out 4 legged visitors.
The walk down to Wirksworth is lovely isn't it, a stones throw from the site and lots of lovely little places to visit when you reach the bottom of the footpath.

A aimé Coming here for the third year in a row – in my opinion, it’s the best campsite ever! The views are amazing, the toilet block is spotless, and there’s hot water both in the washing area and the toilets. They even sell some camping essentials at reception, which is always handy. There’s also plenty of space to pitch your tent. i also like that every time there is a different kind of food available.
