What customers say
A tidy, peaceful spot with good space and staff. Toilets and showers get a tick. Handy for attractions and walks. Wi-Fi can be spotty, and traffic/camper noise happens. A few found pitches or loos iffy when busy.

Really well located, ideal for peak district walking. We'd come again.
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked This was a very quiet site despite being quite a large one with over 80 pitches. We went with friends in their camper and the site put us in next door pitches, as requested, and even suggested we swap the pitches they'd allocated so we could set up the awnings next to each other. The showers and loo's were clean and hot water not a problem.
Disliked It was quite a treck to the bins at the entrance to the site and no recycling was apparent.
We also thought the gap to go through to the lower part of the site was quite tight to get the caravan through because of the turning angle.
Lastly, the further you got from the office the less the WiFi worked so the reception where we were was quote poor. Maybe a booster in the lower part of the site could solve this??

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Reception was manned when we arrived and the gentleman there was very helpful and showed us to our pitch. (Be warned you need rock pegs this time of year if you want to put up an awning on the hardstanding). Despite there not being a shop, reception sold drinks and basic supplies.
Toilet and shower block together with the dish washing area were clean with plenty of hot water despite the site being full. Yes, it isn't all mod cons but perfectly usable, with floor squeegees available to clear up any excess water left after showering.
There was the inevitable queue for the ladies showers in the morning, partly because the site was full, partly because younger children tend to shower with their mums so the turn around wasn't that quick, however we showered before we went to bed to avoid the queue.
The Wifi is at its strongest at reception and tails off quite quickly as you move away. We did see a repeater near the toilet blocks but it clearly wasn't work. It wasn't really an issue as we had downloaded some things to watch before we left for the site. EE phone reception however was shocking, sometimes it wouldn't even send a message.
Everyone seemed to respect the quiet hours and we slept really well.
Would happily pitch up there again.
Disliked The only thing we felt was missing was a place to recycle cans/cardboard/bottles etc. That said, we just brought it home with us to recycle.

Good campsite
Powered grass site
Liked The site is accommodating and reception is welcoming . Nice to see fruit bearing trees and free to pick some. Allowing visitors to visit. And the fact that you accommodated a group of 5 campers is great. Thanks
Disliked Wifi is not good in a lot of area at campsite. There’s no adjacent nice view from where we pitch unlike our previous campsites that we have been.it looks like the bushes/ grass near our pitch area wasn’t cut recently.

Friendly staff
Powered grass site
Liked The place is clean and quiet. The lady who showed us the site where we were allocated shes very nice and polite explained everything what we need and very accommodating with our needs and even allow us to celebrate with friends who came and visited us. Unlimited electric power i brought my hair drier, rice cooker, kettle and my mini cooler/ fridge and theres no problem at all.
Disliked Nothing much despite a long walk from our grass pitch to the toilet but that wont affect us

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Overall this was a decent campsite. The facilities were good and a great location for Carsington Water for water sports and walking and Dovedale.
Disliked EE coverage here and in the immediate area is pretty poor. Whilst this is not the campsites problem, WiFi is. The WiFi on site was really poor, in fact over the bank holiday none existent which was a real issue for us but maybe not for other campers.
