The Racecourse Retreat

A aimé Lovely friendly owner.
Fabulous position and views

N'a pas aimé Nothing really apart from very steep hill back to site from Wirksworth. Not for the feint hearted unless you are fit

A aimé Amazing place and mountain view, Staff is really helpful. Really clean and hygienic.

N'a pas aimé Nothing really. But Only i can say is, Occasionally you have to stay in queue for washroom, but it's fine if you can manage the timing.

A aimé Wonderful warm welcome on my arrival. The site, set in several areas with dry stonewalls around each. The site is naturally sloping but there are plenty of places where you're able to pitch on near level ground.
The toilets and showers are good. Be aware on this visit, a bank holiday weekend at about 9am there was a queue. Lucky I'm an early riser. 5am was quiet.
Set up on site was a marquee with seating and a bar. Later I visited and got a cool pint of Guinness and a tasty burger. The following evening a fish and chip van was on site. Large fish chips with peas was £14.50. very nice. Thoroughly recommend the food served there and in the bar
It a good site for families. As a solo camper it was enjoyable. Well worth a visit

A aimé Large open space made up of 3 fields so even during a busy weekend it didn’t feel crowded. The sandpit was a hit the kids and the fire pit was a real treat in the evening. All the staff I met were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be returning.

A aimé What an experience for our first time camping as a young family scenery unreal simple and easy to get up and running pick your spot in one of 2/3 fields once you’ve checked in and get your tent up. Don’t panic if your struggling people are happy to give you a hand. Was fill of nice young families like ourselves. There’s a beer tent with pop up food vans That come on Friday and Saturday night and a band on Saturday night with beer soft drinks sweets and. The man and woman who own it work every hour god sends constantly there making sure everything is ok and the staff they employ are brilliant all share a passion for keeping the standards high. If you want to experience your first time away camping and your a bit nervous then this is the right place for you lots of people came with other people and set up there little camps with 4-5 tents circled and kids were playing games etc football cricket there’s loads of space. Wirksworth town down the hill 20-25 min walk is beautiful nice pubs and cafe it has a regular bus Into Matlock bath which is great for the kids arcades fish and chip shops peddlo’s and a little play park all in all great experience would Highly reccomend. Get it booked

A aimé Lots of space, lovely clean facilities, super friendly staff and a bar on site, what’s not to like! Breakfast rolls ordered and cooked on arrival, best campsite we’ve ever stayed at. 👍🏻👍🏻

A aimé Lovely setting although mighty glad we had electric bikes. It's not called the Peak District without reason! Hosts couldn't be more helpful.
Nice surprise to find a gazebo with bar and as we were there bank holiday weekend had a quiz night one evening and live music another.

N'a pas aimé Only a few showers. Very low water pressure when we used them.

A aimé Even when it got busy on the Friday, it didn't seem loud. The staff were very welcoming and lovely. Fire pit hire was excellent.

N'a pas aimé 3 showers for the size of the campsite when busy was not enough, but it was OK on the quieter day we stayed.
