Peak district surroundings

  • Well-equipped Derbyshire site with easy access from the A517
  • A 10-minute drive to Ashbourne and the edge of the Peak District
  • Dog-friendly site a mile from Hulland Ward's village pub and farm shop
Parking up for the Peak District to flit between limestone valleys, pretty villages and green peaks? Take your kit to Ashbourne Touring and Camping Park, a well-equipped site in a handy spot just off the A517, a mile from the village of Hulland Ward. Easy access from the main road means it’s nice and straightforward to get set up at this Derbyshire site – and that location also means you’ll be handily close to the village’s pub and farm shop (a useful source of supplies for your barbecue back at base). Bus services from the stop just outside can take you to Ashbourne's cobbled streets and weekly open-air market – or, alternatively, drive yourself over there in about 10 minutes. In fact, everything here has been designed to make life nice and easy for guests, with well-kept, ample toilet and shower facilities, a chemical disposal area, a washing-up area and a launderette provided. And if you can't bear the thought of leaving a faithful furry companion behind, good news – dogs are welcome to join you on site as long as they're well-behaved. The wifi service provided is also likely to come in handy, given that you'll probably want to plan lots of days out around the area. The edge of the Peak District National Park is about 10 minutes' drive away, as is the start of the traffic-free Tissington Trail, so you'll be in a good position for getting out to explore the lovely landscapes. And there are plenty of other attractions around too, including Alton Towers and the grand Chatsworth Estate.

What customers say

This is a very clean, well-maintained and friendly site with spacious, level pitches. Visitors praise the helpful staff, excellent facilities including spotless toilets and showers, and the lovely dog walking area. It's ideally located for exploring the Peak District, with proximity to attractions like Carsington Water and Dovedale. While some found the Wi-Fi signal weak and road noise occasionally noticeable, the overall experience is highly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Matt S.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Well tended site
Pitches were a good size and well marked out
Toilet and shower facilities were spotless
Electric hookup wasn't too far away
Everyone surrounding us followed the quiet rules, so was peaceful well before 11pm.

Disliked Not aimed at the site as there's nothing they can do, but advice for future visitors to make your stay more enjoyable. Take ear plugs if you can wear them as Belper Road stayed busy throughout the night and it's only a field away and also there are regular planes heading to East Mids throughout the night as well, so quite noisy when they are throttling back!

Probably more of an issue for tents rather than caravans as they have more sound deadening!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Proximity to Peak District. Ease of entrance and exit. Country location.

Disliked Internet basically nonexistent. Needs several mesh routers to strengthen and extend WiFi coverage! Family shower unit rubbish. Their single-occupant showers are better. No playground to speak of, so not family friendly. You must choose whether to park next to your caravan or put up your awning. If you erect your awning, then you have no place to park as the gravel pitches are quite small.

Simon S.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We had a lovely quiet and peaceful stay here during October Half Term. The pitch was absolutely fine for us as we never put up an awning. We were on pitch 5 and the electric hook up was close enough to the van. We loved the dog walking section which was private and on the site itself. We used onboard for showers and toilet but the block itself was very clean. We would definitely use this site again if we were in the area.

Disliked WiFi was poor and TV signal wasn’t great at all. This did not impact the great stay we had. The grass was slightly long in the dog walking section area but I completely understand for the time of year it is.

Liked Lovely site, nice & quiet. Toilets/showers clean and plenty of them. Karen the warden was very pleasant on arrival and asked if we needed any help. Close to Carsington Water and 30 mins from Matlock/Bakewell.

Local attractions

Bridging the gap between Ashbourne and Parsley Hay, the Tissington Trail (10 minutes’ drive) beckons with peaceful, traffic-free pedals and a detour to the tea rooms in gorgeous Tissington. Those who are looking to spend the majority of their time exploring on foot can take on the trail without a bicycle or head onwards towards the Dovedale stepping stones (20 minutes), Harboro Rocks (15 minutes) or stunning Thor’s Cave (half an hour). Putting aside a morning to stroll around Chatsworth estate (35 minutes) is also a fine decision, given that this stately home is a proper Peak District poster child. You may have also heard of Carsington Water (10 minutes), not quite in the national park but just outside, for scenic hours of watersports or keeping watch for birds like kingfishers and buzzards. Touring with the kids? They will surely appreciate a trip to Alton Towers (25 minutes) or the Peak Wildlife Park (25 minutes). Take 'em on a vintage tram ride at Crich Tramway Village (25 minutes) while you're at it, ending at the period sweet shop or pub.
