We had a lovely time here. The views around the campsite were beautiful and the site was very peaceful and secluded. The village nearby (Chelmerton) was a pleasant walk and not too far, with a lovely pub there. There was also a bus stop about 10 minutes away which you could take into Buxton (although the bus did only run about every hour), and everyone we bumped in to at the campsite was very friendly.

The site was sloped down a bit, although this did not really cause any problems. It was however, very windy, which of course is not the fault of the site although just something to keep in mind - might be a good idea to bring a windbreak!

The toilet and shower blocks were the main downfall. Overall they were fine and perfectly usuable. Although it took a while to warm up the water did get to a good temperature. However, while on our first day we saw an attendant cleaning the shower and toilets, we did not see them again at all for the duration of our trip and the state of the blocks only continued to worsen. The door to the toilet is constantly wedged open so there were quite a few bugs in there. There was no light in the shower block (and there was only 1 shower block working), and the floor was constantly wet and grassy/muddy). We attempted to use the washing up sink (which is a sink and drying up area randomly placed at the side of the field), but it was clogged the entire duration of our stay, so we stuck to mostly using antibacterial wipes. Because of this blocked sink (or just down to laziness I am not quite sure), we noticed other campers took to washing their dishes in the sinks in the toilet blocks. Whilst I would agree they might not have to do this if the washing up sink wasn't blocked, which is the fault of the site owners, I was amazed by the disgusting state other people left these bathroom sinks in. From the first night someone couldn't be bothered to open the plug to let the water drain out after they had done this and the sink looked like it had been chucked up in to for our whole trip. On the last night whilst we were trying to get ready for bed, an obnoxiously loud group of campers had taken their washing up bowl and all of their many pots and pans into the bathroom and were washing them up in there. We came back later when they were gone and they had left food debris all over the sides and in the sink which was really disgusting.

Had a choice of main campsite and quite field hundred meters away, choose quite one and it was only us and another group on the field. This field had shed with toilets and water tap.
It was exactly as it advertised on website. You need to read carefully and decide if it suits you. We enjoy it

Everything was advertised on website, so we know what to expect. One shower on the main field, so we decided not to use it, but we’re ready for it.

Nice easy going place. Could pitch wherever you like. Was left to do my own thing and not hassled by owners. Facilities suitable. Internet patchy but gets you through to do a couple of Google searches. Good location.
