Riddings Wood Holiday Park

Kedvelték We had a pitch on the bottom field right near the park. This was perfect for the kids and got lots of children playing games and having fun. Toilets/showers are clean and well kept. Friendly helpful staff. Ice creams and few drinks in the office.

Nem kedvelték Long walk up hill to the toilet from the bottom field which is where the kids park is
Pot washing is also near the toilet so you get your steps in! It’s a mix of disliked first thing in the morning or middle of the night but no issue in the day!

Shame somebody wasn’t picking their dog poo up in the bottom field!!

Kedvelték Good levels of security with CCTV across the site, fences around the majority of the site, but there was a gap in the fencing in the bottom of the tent (non electric pitches) and electronic barriers in and out.
The shop sells reasonably priced ice creams, fire lighters and logs etc but nothing camping related (pegs, ropes etc).
The new and only toilet block, located next to the site office, is of good size; with 4 cubicles, and 4 showers plus 3 sinks inside and 3 big sinks outside for pot washing. The site is clearly marked with a 5MPH, 1 way system and there is ample parking for visitors too. There is a children’s park with barking chippings and ample grass space around it.

Nem kedvelték The toilet blocks appear to get cleaned once a day, as both I and my partner experienced no toilet roll or no soap in the toilets. Yet when they had been cleaned, they were immaculate inside. In the gents there was a massive puddle in the entrance, which I squeegeed in to the shower drain, but had been well trampled in before I went to use the toilet.
Whilst there are two areas which have a total of 7 big industrial bins, there was litter across the site that wasn’t collected over a 3 day period (ice cream wrappers, empty cans, crisp packets). Even though the warden does walk the site with his dog, it was a shame that this wasn’t ever picked up. Our pitch also had rubbish left on it from the previous guests, but given the 30min change over window I suppose the wardens might not be able to check all vacated pitches, and this is more lack of respect of those leaving. The pitches, except for handstanding are on quite a slope, so be prepared to adjust your usual sleeping configuration. The park has quite a lot of graffiti and damage, that if repaired would improve the safety of children using it.
There was also a “rubbish pile” that has a large burnt tree and then a pile of broken bricks, and broken pottery. This was approximately 60m away from the children’s park and wasn’t fenced off; it had some ticker tape on 3 sides but this didn’t prevent access and could have caused an injury should children inadvertently access it.

Kedvelték Friendly staff, reception and barrier, easy to find. Good bathroom and shower facilities and little park for the kids.

Nem kedvelték As a family site could get a little noisy but did settle down at night. A little walk to the toilet and shower block from the lower camping field but nothing major.

Kedvelték Good showers and toilets, plenty of loo roll! Plenty of hot water
Friendly and helpful staff.
About 20 minutes from Matlock and Cromford
Lower field looked really nice and open, play area is down there but appears to be all non electric pitches
Barrier security and cctv

Nem kedvelték Middle section feels cramped when full Needs a freezer for ice blocks
Toilets/showers could do with cleaning more often- mop available but always sat in filthy water - maybe more signs asking people to clean up after themselves!
No recycling points!

Kedvelték We recently stayed at Riddings Wood Holiday Park and had the most fantastic first-time caravan experience. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome by Liz and Gary, the park managers. Our jockey wheel was broken when we got there, but Gary kindly helped us park our caravan (“Peggy”) using a block – such a lifesaver!

We stayed on Pitch One, which had a stunning view of the woodland. The whole site has a really lovely, relaxed atmosphere and is perfect for families. Our kids spent most of their time making new friends at the park, giving us some time to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The toilet and shower blocks were spotless throughout our stay, and the washing-up area was really handy. We also noticed that there are lodges with hot tubs available to rent, which looked ideal if you’re after a bit of extra comfort.

The on-site reception/shop is a great bonus too – they stock a nice variety of ice creams, cold drinks, logs, and even dog treats, which was such a thoughtful touch for pet owners.

Honestly, this was the perfect introduction to caravan camping. Friendly staff, clean facilities, great amenities, and a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be back again soon.

Kedvelték The campsite was lovely and facilities were clean, the staff were welcoming informative and helpful and it was good value for money. There is a good play area for children and plenty of space for the children to run around.

Nem kedvelték A couple of grumbles would be that the toilet blocks were very far away from the non electric campsite which isn’t great for anyone with mobility issues, also the waste disposal area was very smelly which could maybe benefit from being a bit more closed in.
