  • Peaceful family-friendly spot in the Peak District National Park
  • Hiking, rock climbing, potholing and caving within 30 minutes
  • A 45-minute drive from the rides and rollercoasters at Alton Towers
Stunning countryside, spectacular views and a whole lot of get-up-and-go… If that ticks everything off your getaway bucket list, make tracks for Newhaven Holiday Park, a family-friendly site in the tiny hamlet of Newhaven 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire's Buxton. Inside the Peak District National Park, Newhaven is a top spot for energetic types: the High Peak trail passes less than a mile from the site, and you can pick up the Tissington Trail at nearby Hartington Station (or start from Ashbourne, 20 minutes away, to do the whole thing). If you’re of an even more active persuasion – with a daredevil streak perhaps – there’s rock climbing, potholing and caving half an hour away in the High Peak area of the park. You don’t have to go clambering over hills and dales to get a good look at the Peak District though: this site is in a secluded spot, with views over the countryside and plenty of trees and shrubs for shelter. Kick back and relax among all the greenery while the kids run riot in the playground. Ready for something to munch? For anything more substantial, pull a chair up to the table at one of the many restaurants within 20 minutes of Newhaven.

Electric hardstanding touring caravan pitch

Liked: Really helpful staff both on the phone and in person. Guided us to our pitch when we arrived which was really helpful. Nice facilities. Very clean site and well organised. Could do with a water tap for the lower pitches but hardly a hardship. Really nice place only a stones throw from beautiful days out. Will happily return

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Loved the stay. The staff were really friendly and some of the best toilet and shower facilities I've used at a campsite.

Disliked: The pitch site was next to a busy road but it didn't keep anyone up at night so totally fine. Just be mindful in case that may bother you.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: This seems like a fantastic place to take a caravan or rent one of their stunning holiday homes! They have amazing washroom facilities and the staff were so kind and helpful!
The park near the campsite was always in use, so that's obviously a huge plus for families with kids!
The people that joined us on the campsite were quiet and courteous which was great!

Disliked: The camp ground it's self is littered with broken branches and sticks, a quick rake every few days would make a huge difference.
The wooded area around the camp ground is littered with actual litter.
There are no benches, shelters or tables in the camp ground as you might expect find at similar sites, resigning you to your tent prety much right away if you've not brought chairs.
The nearby pub/restaurant is closed and you're not close to any other towns or villages leaving you without any options really.
There are two areas for camping, one (right) is closer to the road but is bigger, flatter and has a mound and trees that we expected would block most road noise... We weren't aware that trucks and lorries would be barreling down that road from 4am onwards 😂
It would have been nice to be told that the other (left) campsite is far quieter as it was near impossible to sleep once the trucks started up.
Also lots of hammering and machine noise? Possible the pub getting back up and running? 🤞

Local attractions

This is Austen country, so you can barely turn around without tripping over some stately pile of bricks... If you fancy gliding around as if you own the place, adopt an air of wealth and superiority and head to Kedleston Hall, Sudbury Hall (with its Museum of Childhood), Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and The Old Manor, all within roughly half an hour’s drive of Newhaven, then chauffeur yourself over to Melbourne Hall, just under an hour away. Hols with kids are pretty easy in these parts too, as there’s absolutely oodles to distract them with within an hour of the site: make your way to Matlock for the Heights of Abraham alpine cable car and Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park (and the Crich Tramway Museum, Peak District Mining Museum and Masson Mills for some grownup sanity). Also get along to Buxton for treetop adventuring at Go Ape; underground exploration at Poole’s Cavern, and Alton Towers for some adrenaline-fuelled rides. If traipsing around on land isn’t really floating your boat, spend a day (or two) at Carsington Water, less than half an hour away, for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, powerboating and fishing, or head to WaterWorld (just outside Stoke-on-Trent) for some indoor waterpark splashing around.
