The Racecourse Retreat

Kedvelték The hosts were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. The campsites views were amazing in every direction and the toilets were clean and lit up at night. They provide free fire pits with cheap firewood and extras like marshmallows and ice lollies. Ideal location, 10-15 min drive into Matlock bath

Thank you for your review.
Your photos are great!!!
The fire pits are very popular as you say....who doesn't like to roast a marsh mellow or 2 :)

Kedvelték Plenty of space on three large fairly flat fields which were mowed nice and short. Friendly welcome, great views, clean toilets & showers.

Kedvelték Lovely friendly owner.
Fabulous position and views

Nem kedvelték Nothing really apart from very steep hill back to site from Wirksworth. Not for the feint hearted unless you are fit

Thank you for your review.
The hill back from Wirksworth is definitely a test on fitness! Thankfully there are a couple of routes to take (having done them both I definitely have a preference!
We hope to see you back next year.

Kedvelték Remote and amazing views. The perfect retreat for some time with my sons.

Facilities spotlessly clean and good.

Kedvelték The views are stunning, toilets always clean and modern, looks like a lot happened over the bank holiday weekend (food, bingo, etc), peaceful, polite pleasant owners on arrival, loved this site.

This is one of the only places I have chosen to pitch outward to enjoy the view as I sit in my tent.

I never had to queue for the shower, or a toilet. The water pressure was always ok for us but the site was very quiet (about 10 tents) after a very busy bank holiday according to one camper and the owner.

Close to different attractions. Chatsworth house took us 40 minutes, Matlock Bath 15 minutes, Tramway Museum 15 minutes, plenty of other attractions to see within 45 minute drive.

We will definitely be returning.

Nem kedvelték Be aware of the narrow road during the last fews minutes to get to the site.

Pot holes on track to the pitches need sorting. (Me being very picky - they aren't too bad and worse on some roads!)

The pitches are on top of an exposed hill so a little windy at times - I would definitely bring a better tent next time!

Honestly, the dislikes are more just about being aware - not reasons to book elsewhere. This place is lovely and I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you for your review.
We certainly had a busy bank holiday with various entertainment!
We have already had some work done to the track since we have closed in preparation for next season.
Hope you see you back next year.

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

Nem kedvelték 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.

Thank you for your review.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and the bingo night. We are thinking about making it a regular event :)

Kedvelték 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

We have had the fish and chip van for a couple of seasons now and its proving to be very popular alongside the bar.
We hope to see you back again next year.
