Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

Very friendly staff. Slight hitch with details transferred from pitchup to Holiday Park but it was soon rectified without any hassle.
I booked every morning for swimming but one day was closed for maintenance after the owners only swim but was kindly booked in with them so we didn't miss out. Very much appreciated.
Would book again

Lovely Campsite with a great park for younger children and the swimming pool was a big hit. Tissington trail is a lovely walk and right on the doorstep. Little shop on site for any bits you've forgotten. The free dog poo bags were a great idea.

Cleaning of the toilet facilities was not always done when it said it would be and with it being a busy half term it was definitely needed. This was the same with the bins.

The park, grounds, shop and location are excellence. We walked to Dovedale stepping stones and cycled into Ashbourne on the tissington trail,which is just off the site, with our 4 and 7 year old. The park is spacious and well looked after. The site is clean and well maintained. The pitches are spacious too. The ice cream van visit was a nice addition.

The toilets need some renovations. We booked via pitch up which stated ‘wifi at pitch’ but there was no wifi for touring at pitch at all and the signal wasn’t great. The shop had all the essentials but quite pricey.

Great campsite and excellent location. Would recommend to anyone.

The site is in a fantastic location with direct access to the Tissington trail so bring your bikes! It was a very neat and tidy site with a good sized play area and a swimming pool so I could imagine great for those with children. It was well signposted and easy to find. I didn’t have one but the en-suite pitches looked great with your own individual wash facilities beside your pitch.

The toilet block was a long walk from one side of the campsite and was very tired looking compared to the rest of the site, although lots of statics so I wonder if this isn’t a priority.
My main issue was how the team made me feel when I rang to say that I would be there a little later in the evening (9pm) and to check which pitch I should go to. I had sent an email on booking about this but no one had replied.
Although I fully appreciate, rules around this are to protect people who might be sleeping from not being disturbed, I was made to feel like a naughty school child despite the fact they never replied to my initial email asking the question.
As a single traveller in a camper van, my set up involved driving onto my spot and parking - no noisier than someone coming back after a meal in the pub. I explained this and eventually after telling me off some more, I was begrudgingly given a spot. I actually managed to arrive at 8.15 when unsurprisingly any campers seemed to still be awake! No apologies for failing to respond to my initial email at any point.
The pitches weren’t very well marked but actually not many of them were in use so no idea why they were trying to turn away trade. I was really nervous of actually seeing anyone from reception as I was made to feel like a massive pain.
I’m a big fan of laid back, welcoming campsites and definitely won’t be coming back.

Lovely quiet site (weekday in May)
Well laid out and spacious pitches.
Very friendly staff.
On the Tissington trail.
Lovely play area for kids (though we didn’t have any with us!)

Fixed shower head not ideal and no plastic shelves in wet area to put shower gel etc.

The en suite facilities never come across anywhere else with them

The other shower block and elsan facilities are in the middle of the static caravans quite far away from the touring pitches
The pool was only available from 10 a.m. till 12 while we were there and was closed one day for maintenance

Clean, good play area with good facilities and a lot of space.

Lovely campsite, very family friendly and dog friendly too. Very flat field, perfect for a pitch.
