Blackbrook Lodge Camping and Caravanning

Kedvelték Great facilities, kept lovely and clean.
Fishing pond on site, we don't fish but loved having a walk around it feeding the ducks. The carp also came up to the surface, our grandchildren thought it was amazing to see them.
Really liked the electric hookup and water taps on each pitch.
Liked the peaceful location between Belper and Ashbourne.

Nem kedvelték The site was mostly hardcore/ gravel, not much greenery.
I know the hot dry weather doesn't help but it was very dusty.
Pitches are very close together, if you are where we were at the top of the field. Our neighbour had a porch awning on their van which came to the edge of our pitch and when we put our porch awning up it came to our other neighbours boundary, and so on for the row of vans.

Kedvelték Friendly greeting, clear instructions on facilities which were good and clean. Great for walking the dog and fishing for the husband.

Kedvelték Lovely location very handy for local towns / villages.

The lady in reception was very pleasant, showed us where the amenities were, explained local dog walks both on & off site an recommended a local takeaway (which we did not use).

The bathrooms / showers were vey clean & tidy with lovely hand soaps.

There was a pot wash area, which was always clean & tidy - we did not use this as had our own facilities.

Large pitches with hardstanding and grassed area for each pitch.

WIFI available at the shop area but does not reach the pitches - well not ours but good mobile phone coverage so can use mobile data.

Shop had a good choice of amenities including alcohol if needed & fresh eggs also available.

Some caravans had seasonal residents and all the ones near us were so very friendly, respectful & chatty.

We had a lovely 2 night stay and will return to this site in the future - Cant wait to see the progress with the site upgrades.

Nem kedvelték Absolutely not dislikes but worth noting for anyone visiting soon:

The site is having building work undertaken and from what we could see this is new lodges being put in so can be a little unsettling but there was no noise at all or any disruption.

Some of the seasonal pitches were tired and a bit unkempt but each to there own.

Again not a dislike but the female showers have no area to dry yourself within the cubicle which is wet after the shower - Just makes things a little tricky - I opted to get dry / dressed near the sinks which is fine but if you like your privacy this could be an issue.

Kedvelték Modern toilet and shower blocks.

Nem kedvelték Pitches neglected and on a considerable slope overlooking scruffy permanent plots Location meant frequent road noise from nearby quarry and nothing around for a few miles.

Kezelői megjegyzés: We look at all reviews to help us improve or change but when people book and don’t look at our description, then we cannot use these reviews.

The pitches are not neglected but dry and crisp like the whole of the country.

There s a road but it is not the M1 , within a ten minute drive you have Belper or Ashbourne both great market towns with amazing shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs to cater for all tastes.

Within a five minute drive , you have a petrol station that sells everything, a pub and a farm shop.

Sorry you won’t be returning but please do your homework before leaving a review on another site

Kedvelték Quiet and peaceful lovely walks for the dogs ,campsite had everything we needed
