A aimé Lovely little campsite, friendly staff took us to our pitch and asked if we needed help with anything. Toilets and showers were spotless. 10/10.

A aimé Lovely big site with good size pitches, nice open space for the kids, plenty of toilets and showers which were kept clean and tidy, excellent location for exploring Derbyshire, great day out at Carsington Waters.

A aimé Lovely friendly staff on arrival! Great sized pitch. Toilets close to tent pitches. Shower block clean.
Good base to go for different walks in the peaks.

N'a pas aimé Wifi was very poor, much to our children’s dismay.
Out of the sites control, but there was a large group of people who seemed incapable of talking quietly at night, singing at nearly midnight!

A aimé First time campers with family of 2 Adults and 3 Children (17,13,10) When we arrived we weren’t 100% happy with the allocated pitch and the site owner (I think) was so helpful and allowed us to move to another pitch location. Very friendly and welcoming.
We were quite a long way from the main toilet/shower/washing up block, but that didn’t bother us. It was cleaned daily. And at night was well lit for those late night toilet runs. Bonus for us was having washing machines onsite as my son was sick whilst away 🫣
It was a great location for Crich Tram museum, Alton Towers, Bakewell, Matlock Bath, Dove Dale and many more. All within 30 minutes of campsite. The local town- Ashbourne was handy for any amenities. Aldi, Sainsbury’s and with loads of restaurants and takeaway options.

N'a pas aimé Rubbish bins could be closer to main block and not by the entrance.
WiFi doesn’t work in tent area. But that didn’t bother us, but may others.

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.
