Crowdecote Campsite

Gostou We had a lovely 2 night stop at Crowdecote campsite,it had everything you needed there, toilets,showers and a place to wash your pots up in, picnic tables and fire pits. Steve the owner was very friendly and came out to greet us when we arrived and explained it all to us, then left us to set up. The Packhorse Inn is a 5 mins walk away and serves delicious meals at reasonable prices if you don’t fancy cooking and Buxton is only 6/7 miles away. Definitely would come again next year in the summer.

Não gostou Nothing to dislike about the site itself but we were pitched close to the road and though there wasn’t much traffic as it’s a side road, occasionally during the night you can hear cars that were driving too fast down it.

Gostou This site was a perfect base for exploring the Peak District. The site itself is basic but there is everything that you need. The toilets/shower were clean (and the shower was hot!). The staff were friendly and I’d definitely stay here again.

Do gestor: There's a running theme I've noticed when the weather turns cold and wet. We get a touch of the old "picky knickers" in our reviews. Nothing terrible, just niggling at little things.

"Showers were small" I've also noticed its quite common for someone to pick up on something written in a previous review and it becomes an issue out of nowhere. Same showers we've had for years now, never had a complaint about them being too small... then all of a sudden two within a few weeks of each other.

We provide good, clean, free to use showers.

"Bins could be better" a pretty useless comment. Better how? Are they emptied when full? Yup! Are they segregated for Recycling? Yup! Is it all kept pretty clean and tidy? Yup!

I did notice that, from the other sites you've left reviews for, we're the cheapest and most basic Campsite you've used. Clearly having a preference for a more commercial grade, which we clearly aren't and don't profess to be.

I hope this response has been of more use to potential guests than the actual review 😅

If you want to get away from the fussy pants brigade, get booked in here. We're open all year round.

Gostou Delightful setting with pub and bus very close. Just be aware the pub doesn’t open on a Monday or Tuesday. Lot of nice walks straight from the campsite. Facilities are perfectly adequate but basic.

Gostou We had a fab time at Crowdecote Campsite. It's clean, quiet, very rural with fantastic walking routes. Easily accessible to other areas in the Peak District. The owners were brilliant at keeping in contact and made our stay easy. My only recommendation is make sure you have things downloaded as there is no phone signal.... but hey, it's in the Peak District so don't be disgruntled.

Gostou Small and private. Clear (and reasonable) rules to ensure everyone has a quiet and relaxing stay. Good communication with Steve the owner.

Não gostou Very basic facilities. 2nd shower in men’s far too small to get changed (no seat) with a killer shower curtain that tries to smother you when you’re showering :-D
Nowhere to wash pots.

Do gestor: There is a Potwashing Station, its right in front of the Toilet and Shower Block. Can't miss it. I even pointed it out to Scott when he arrived.

First complaint we've had about no seat in the Shower. Scott was in his early 30s. There are people in their 70s that use these showers and get on just fine. Free to use by the way.

At the point you're complaing about a killer Shower Curtain.....pfff, I think we've had Mr Bean on site.

The good thing about this review is it shows how genuine our reviews are. Even when they're totally inaccurate Pitchup will let it stay. I asked Pitchup to amend the comment about us having no Potwash Station. Pitchup refused to amend the comment despite us having the same Potwash Station for the last 4 years... you'd think someone else would have complained by now if we didnt have one. It appears you can pretty much write whatever you like. Although I have been reprimanded for calling someone an Imbecile before. That got removed pretty quick.

Gostou Nice site, not too crowded, lots of walks straight from site. Showers and toilets were ok

Não gostou Weather but out of site's control
