Donkey sanctuary next door

  • Small site in the Peak District National Park
  • A short drive from the famed spa town of Buxton
  • A 40-minute drive from Alton Towers; donkey sanctuary next door
Peaceful times in the Peak District National Park are pretty much a given at scenic and small Greystones Nawab Camping and Touring, with its first-rate views over green countryside. But add in proximity (an easy seven miles) to the famed Peak District spa town of Buxton and it's fairly safe to say that holidays of a highly relaxed nature are very much on the cards… Those of a more active disposition (alongside spa days, this is also recommended around these parts) have hiking, walking, cycling, pony trekking, climbing and paragliding all close by, as well as a Go Ape centre within a mile for woodland antics. For family days, the caves of Poole’s Cavern are just outside Buxton, the Peak Wildlife Park is half an hour away and Alton Towers is within 40 minutes. A donkey sanctuary is next door to the site. Greystones Nawab is a grassy and peaceful site in a wildlife haven, and is motorcycle, family and dog friendly. It has showers, three toilets, a washing-up area and charging facilities. Wifi is available near the main house. Please note that the site keeps peacocks and rare-breed chickens.

What customers say

This is a basic, well-located campsite offering great views and access to walks. Reviewers highlight its quiet, peaceful atmosphere and friendly owners. Facilities are described as adequate for a simple stay, though some found them small, cramped, and in need of better upkeep and cleanliness, with occasional issues with hot water and functioning showers. Dog charges and the cost of showers are noted. The adjacent donkey sanctuary is a popular feature.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Location - amazing walks from the campsite. Cold water tap fine, nice hot water for washing up, shower was excellent. Flat pitches, great views.

Disliked Owner - he was rude and unwelcoming. Not there to allocate pitch too - was done over the phone - ref pitch numbers too me for suitability which felt like human bingo. Quite a few of the elec hook ups don’t work. Facility wise there was one shower and loo unit which was fine other than the light did not work. 2 other loos were tiny - when you shut the door your knees touched it. Washing up was ok - no drainer and a hand dryer kept going off when you put dishes on the drainer. No hand soap anywhere. I called to amend my booking - non accommodating as I’d booked via pitch up and they took fees. Big mound of bagged rubbish - gets cleared every 2 weeks by owner. Quite cramped and no space for car and tent together. Cockerel on site and does crow.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Flat pitch, easy to set up. Near Buxton and couple food places close by

Disliked Cockrall will wake you up at 4am. Lots of pitchs in a small space so they're squashed together.
Only 2 toilets which are fairly small so you fall onto the seat when you close the door. 2 toilet/shower cubicles. 1 seemed to be always locked so just one shower which was everyone's first choice toilet as it had the most room.
Also no phone signal at the site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi
Really ???
We have 3 toilets not 2 you saying

Small pitches according to you but are
Over 7+ meter wide by Over 10 m
Toilets are used by NORMAL PEOPLE everyday they don't seem to have issues

Phone signal is available but can be patchy you are in hilly area

Nice place for a one night stay

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Campsite was easy to find , close from our day out , had plenty of pitch space , it was a small but friendly site with lovely surroundings , the donkeys next door were lovely to see. When called staff they were very helpful .

Disliked The toilets and showers could really do with an upgrade for the price paid to stay there , they were small and cramped compared to other places had stayed for the same cost , unkept a little and ran out of toilet roll in the morning but it didn’t totally put me off staying again if I returned to the nearby area.

From the manager: Shower and toilet block are purpose built in UK it is standard size
Spent over £20.000 installing them
They are perfect for campsites etc

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Nice location, quiet during mid-week. Had a lovely stay. Close by to some lovely footpaths and a 15 min mute walk to a gorgeous pub (The Royal Oak).

Disliked Not so much dislikes but for awareness; this is a very basic campsite with very basic facilities. If you’re a seasoned camper this probably won’t bother you but if you’re looking for comfort and luxury this isn’t the site for you.

There is also a cockerel that lives right next door to the campsite which crows between the hours of 3am and 6am so if you’re a light sleeper this may be a problem for you.

The toilets do not have towels or dryers for drying your hands and do not have soap either so make sure to bring your own.

The showers are £1 for 5 minutes (coin machine operated) so make sure to bring enough cash if you like to have long showers.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Small basic campsite we advertise
Also
Peacocks and rare breed chickens we clearly mention in our discription of campsite
Cockerell and peacock is only doing what comes naturally
We do put soap but soon it vanishes just disappears

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely people
Easy to find
Location was good for three shires as roughly 20 mins down the road.

Disliked The noise from peacocks and roosters in the morning
£1 to use shower for 5 mins
The facilities were a little unclean I.e. toilet brush, air vent could do with a good once over.

Local attractions

Buxton (10 to 15 minutes' drive away) has plenty to do for all ages, including tours around its Georgian architecture and ambles around the award-winning Pavilion gardens. Shopping and nightlife are most plentiful around George Street, the Quadrant and Cavendish Arcade; for kids of a small size, a soft play centre is in town. Kids of all sizes should like going underground at Buxton's Poole's Cavern, a limestone cave surrounded by Buxton Country Park. Take a guided tour among the huge chambers of the caves to hear tales of the Stone Age people, Roman soldiers and medieval outlaws who used them; after that and above ground, there are woodland trails to wander, rabbits and woodpeckers to spot and – possibly of more interest to fatigued grownups – a café serving drinks and hot snacks. Another spa town – again possibly of more interest to fatigued grownups – is at Matlock Bath, 20 minutes' drive away.
