I’m new to camping we decided to camp and go to Alton Towers. Ruehill is in a perfect location for that.

It was rainy when we arrived and it was much later than we anticipated but the owner welcomed us when she saw us there and directed us to where would be good for the weather etc. We didn’t read the booking email that said to keep in touch about arrival times and when you get there to call to say you’ve arrived.

The fields are set as adult only and family. Which is a great idea.

As I said the weather was not great so we had our pick of places and we chose to be beside the fire pit that had some trees as shelter and close to the toilet block too.

The toilet and shower blocks are very well maintained and there are some lovely touches. Like the soaps, benches for putting toiletries on, coin operated hairdryer, lots of mirrors and a usb plug point for charging devices. Also the smooth music playing keeps it from being eerie when you go in during the evening. The showers had good power and were lovely and warm.
My husband said that the other male campers weren’t being particularly clean in the men’s toilet/shower block but that from one visit to the next someone had been in and cleaned. (*note to campers if you wouldn’t leave your house in that state don’t leave a shared bathroom like it!) so kudos to the owner but it’s a pity it gets in that state in the first place.

It was torrential rain the first night and the ground remained east to walk on, not muddy and drainage was tip top.

After a long and fun day at Alton Towers we went to the fish and chip shop recommended in the posters by the owner and we loved it.

We rented a campfire for in fire pit the second night as there were only light showers and then it was dry. You get everything to make a fire and it was so cosy.

The owner was welcoming and friendly and we would stay here again should we be in the area.

Nothing about the campsite just the horrible weather lol

Nice place to stayed with free hot water supply, what a clean toilet !
Location is convenient!
Our pitch was near the A road but not too busy , it’s acceptable. But you can request to have the pitch not to near the road , the pitch owner couple are very nice ! Willing to help answer all your questions in very kind.

Nothing

The owners were really friendly, came around every night with logs and fire pits and even took our rubbish away.
the facilities are lovely, always kept clean
great location for the peak district and Alton Towers

Everything we needed! Lovely site with great views. The staff were so attentive and kindly put us away from the road as we had 11 children between us. Toilets and showers were faultless, constantly being cleaned and maintained and exceeded our expectations for campsite facilities. Such a nice overall atmosphere across the site.

Countryside. Quiet location. Friendly owner.

All ok

We got such a friendly welcome from the owners, they were both lovely. We had spent the day at Alton Towers and were both shattered by the time we got there, so happy it was only 10 minutes away. Plenty of space and got a pitch away from the road. The site was quiet and people had lots of space around them which was great. The facilities were lovely, toilet/shower block was nice and warm and the site was just so peaceful. It was just myself and my 4 year old daughter staying and the whole place felt really safe.

Lovely campsite loved it all!
Wonderfully clean!!!

No dislikes.

Toilets and showers were excellent and the washing up.area was really handy. Unlimited pitch sizes were also great as our tent is pretty big.

On our last night we were next to a group of teenagers who were up quite late with loud music. You can't pick your neighbours though :)

Campsite was gorgeous, lovely open campsite. The toilets were clean and regularly tended to. The owners were friendly and helpful, giving good advise for local amenities. Very convenient for a family day out at Alton towers. Thankyou for a lovely weekend.
