My daughter stated the toilets were very fancy!

friendly helpful staff, beautiful views, spacious pitches and during the weekend entertainment, pop up pizza van, barbecue and bar

quite a walk to the toilets depending on where you are pitched but otherwise nothing

This was our second year of staying at The Racecourse Retreat again it was for bank holiday weekend. We visited with our family members and their children and they absolutely loved it as much as we do. The staff are friendly and helpful always up for a chat. Over the weekend they had a number of events on for adults and children such as a live band and a film afternoon for the kids. The new shower block is such a benefit to the site i would say they could do with another 2 of them to accommodate all 3 fields for when its busy but we didn't encounter any issues, the ladies only toilet is such a lovely touch always clean and smelt nice. We'll be back next year !

Simple site with good facilities

Wonderful welcome, clean toilets and excellent views!

The pop up bar (sounds cute) was actually a full on entertainment marquee with bands. They were good but very loud (had hired a sound company) until very late.
The grass was stupidly long to the point my little one was falling over and the simple fact is there was not enough toilets and showers for the amount of people on a bank holiday weekend. There are some more toilets down a steep lane but they are housed with showers so long wait there too. It’s not great when your little one is desperate for the loo!

Lots of space

The family run site was excellent, they had put on entertainment for the bank holiday weekend, such as a quiz, bands and a movie night as well as an ice cream van and food.

Wash block facilities were well stocked and immaculate.

All very friendly with wonderful views and within easy reach of walking paths.

Picked this randomly from map view as close to an event I was entered in. I have been camping most of my life and think that in many ways this was the best thought out and delivered camping experience I have ever had!
Really responsive to phone queries.
Left to own devices and no silly rules, but felt safe and well planned.
Really clean and plentiful toilets, some small queues at times but was very busy bank holiday.
Despite busyness, it didn't feel busy as massive site.
Open walks and safe play for kids.
Sand pit for kids.
Free fire pits.
Wood on site.
Bar and entertainment, not sure if this was just bank holiday weekend, or all weekends. But you could literally do your family summer holiday here! Film night, quiz night, live bands.
Entertainment loud when on, but not offensive and stopped completely at reasonable time.
And the location is perfect. On top of a hill feels like being in the wild. And right in heart of it peaks wise. We went on steam train (walked there and back and had a pub meal). Tissington trail on bikes and a day out in Matlock, which has excellent parks and excellent ice cream at Matlock bath.
We stayed one non busy night after weekend too and had a field to ourselves!

Nothing! I recommend trying it. Go mid week if you like quite and weekend if you want a mixture.

Beautiful place, with great surroundings views. Good size pitches in a great location.
