Mandale Campsite

Beautiful spot on well run, tidy and friendly campsite. Perfect.
Just don’t forget your 20p’s for the shower (not complaining, just reminding as it was my fault and it helps us save water and energy!!)

Simplicity, location, views, breakfast service

Showers were paid for in coins which we didn’t know about and the pressure wasn’t great. General state of showers and toilets felt a bit unloved, but did the job

Friendly staff, clean facilities & a lovely, peaceful stay!

Arrived to a nice & friendly welcome at reception then directed to which area's we could pitch up, the place we chose was in the corner of a large field with a view you would only see in a picture, after pitching up we decided to have a look around & found a shower block with plenty of showers, toilet blocks with wash basins with hot water & mirrors, a large washing up area with bowls provided.
After a short walk & a look at the map I could see plenty of trails connected to the camp site and only a short distance from lots of things to do. In the morning & on the way to a visit to the showers I spotted a sign informing me that there was a van that served up breakfast & you could also get ice cream from reception, a nice surprise.
all in all everything needed for a great weekend and the weather turned out nice.

We arrived on a Thursday and had booked three nights. The campsite was well maintained with nice views over the Peak District. The facilities were clean and well maintained. The pitch was slightly sloping but not enough to negatively affect our set up.

A large school group (teenagers) arrived on the Friday as well as a large number of other guests so the facilities were very busy, less clean and not as peaceful for the rest of our stay. To use the showers you needed one pound coins and for hot water in the wash up area 20 pence pieces were needed.

Good value quiet setting

We had loads of space, even though it was a long weekend holiday. The site is a great base for some lovely walks.

Slightly soft ground for our campervan - ended up churning it up slightly (sorry!).

Beautiful location- very peaceful. Excellent loos and showers - all very nice and clean. Friendly staff. Brilliant breakfast van. 10 mins from Bakewell. Pub within walking distance.

Brilliant location, peaceful, good amenities.

Unlimited pitch size and plenty of room in field. Showers were lovely and big. Although I don’t think you should have to pay for hot water whilst washing dishes and Tbf I don’t think nowadays you should have to pay for showers neither

I’m not sure if it is usually an issue but pitched top of flat field and with the rain it was like a mud bath. Never in all the time I’ve been camping have I seen so much mud. This will definitely put me off camping there again
