We loved the campsite, the pitches and amenties were clean and tidy. Shortly after arrival we were greeted by Jessie, who gave us loads of information about local walks, pubs and places to eat in the village and surrounding area. The walk through Dearden woods was pleasant and peaceful, we didn't venture up onto the moors but there is easy access just up the road from the site. The nearby Waterfall at Dearden Brooke is picturesque and well worth a visit. With a little patience there are loads of opportunities to watch the local wildlife from your pitch.

The code system for the toilets was a little irrating due to my poor memory for numbers but an understandable inconvenience.

Quiet, extremely good value for money, great views, in middle of woods.
Excellent amenities, pizza’s available on Friday nights.
Nice communal area.
Extremely clean showers and toilets. Wash area, kettle, fridge. No wifi but great signal on phone (if needed)…..Staff couldn’t be anymore helpful…knowledgeable of the area , extremely friendly. The stay was exactly what we wanted and more.

Liked the setting and informal vibe. I really liked the ethos of the sites management run as a not for profit organisation putting the money back into the site.

Could have really done with the toilet code earlier but I guess that was my fault for not asking.

Really nice small site, short walk to the lovely river and amazing views.
The welcome we received was second to none and very informative with a real passion for the business.
Price for what you get was brilliant.
Toilets clean, great indoor washing facilities.

Disliked nothing about the actual campsite, unfortunately you cannot pick the clientele.
The van across from us, turned up and started drinking straight away, then went out driving at 9pm !! Literally did not shut up from 3pm until gone 2am, smoking weed and just being the loudest people in the entire world.
The worst part about this though was that they absolutely trashed the woodland and trees next to the vans (private cordoned part) for firewood. Spent from 7pm until 2am smashing, sawing and burning your trees.
Obviously the owners cannot police the site at night and I don't blame them for this.

The owners were so friendly and helpful, the camp site so clean and well set out, nic e and quiet, excellent communal areas, amazing walks, will 100% be back

We stayed at Dearden Wood for the weekend and had a fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, we were given a warm welcome at this small, peaceful, and family-friendly site. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and inviting—perfect for a weekend escape.

One of the highlights was the Friday night pizzas, which were absolutely delicious and served in a lovely communal setting with the local community. It was a great way to start the weekend and connect with others.

Another great feature is the beautiful waterfall and plunge pool within walking distance—perfect for a refreshing dip and a bit of adventure in nature.

The owners and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Great location, very nice and friendly owners

Not the place to park if you don’t get on with wood smoke or bbqs. No grey waste

Peaceful and lovely location in a woodland. ( Nestled at the bottom of the hills - so good walking area Not far from good pubs, restaurants and small shops )Very good facilities. Friendly and helpful owners. Good value for money.

Everything was of a high standard

Clean site,hot water, showers, good size kitchen, pitches nicely spaced apart, lovely walks, friendly owner, peaceful and quiet.
