Spacious and dog-friendly 12-acre site in the Derbyshire Dales
A 15-minute drive to Ashbourne; 40 minutes to Chatsworth Estate
Shop and fishing ponds on site

Grab your walking boots, your fishing kit and your dog and get set for some relaxing time in the Derbyshire Dales at Blackbrook Lodge Camping and Caravanning, between the villages of Turnditch and Brailsford. This 12-acre site is well placed for walks and other outdoor activities – the edge of the Peak District National Park is about 20 minutes’ drive away, you can pick up the traffic-free Tissington Trail about 15 minutes away and there’s a good collection of watersports to be had at Carsington Water, 10 minutes away. And the fishing? Well, that’s right there where you’re staying – this site has both a main fishing lake and two ponds filled with carp for lazy days by the water. Away from the ponds, the main camping field is set back from the road and has space for kids to run around freely. Other facilities on site include a small shop for essentials, a washing-up area, toilets and hot showers that are available 24 hours a day. There are several pubs and restaurants within 10 minutes’ drive to keep the tribe fed, or you’re welcome to bring along a barbecue. If you go for the latter option, there’s a farm shop about 10 minutes’ drive away for delicious local goodies, and it’s the same distance to a supermarket for any other essentials. Please note that chocks or levellers may be needed.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Plenty of space on the pitches.
Wasn't too busy considering it was a dry and bright weekend.
Shower and toilet block were nice and modern.
Hot water was very hot!

Disliked: Shower cubicles were only big enough to shower in. Nowhere private to get changed outside of the cubicle.

Bridget P. Apr 2025

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Great location
Clean showers and toilets
Fantastic field to walk dogs
Nice little shop on site

Disliked: No one around on arrival or departure. Challenging when there is a security gate to go through. Telephoned but no answer. Luckily a guest onsite let us in.
Horrible sewerage smell around the site particularly on the first day
Pitches are a decent size but on a slope and very unkept. Grass could do with tidying up/mowing.
Looks like building work is going on as lots of building materials on the site
Wi-Fi nonexistent

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou Bridget for leaving a review, we came in a few minutes after you arrived and saw to your arrival promptly.

As the weather has been so sunny and lovely the brook can have a smell, this only lasts for a short time as we rectify it

Please read your booking, the site does not advertise WIFI over the site as it is only available around the reception area, but 4g and 5g are very good here

Kelly S. Apr 2025

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful site with stunning walks. Great facilities and friendly staff.
If you’re into fishing there’s a lovely pond and it only costs £5 to hire a rod for your entire stay.

Disliked: No complaints regarding the site or staff at all. Only downside was a complaint about children on site having fun, which in all honesty is what you want when you take your children away.
If you’re a couple wanting peace and quiet maybe avoid family sites.

Local attractions

There are so many great spot to choose from in the Peak District National Park – perhaps you’d like to go for a family bike ride on the Tissington Trail from Ashbourne (15 minutes’ drive), hop across the stepping stones at Dovedale (25 minutes) or finish up a hike by sampling the traditional puddings in Bakewell (35 minutes)? A visit to the Chatsworth Estate (40 minutes) is a must – for the farm shop, adventure playground and farmyard as much as the house and gardens themselves – and the nearby Kedleston Hall National Trust estate (10 minutes) is another spot that’s worth a visit. For more ideas to keep the kids happy, try the watersports and bike rides at Carsington Water (10 minutes), days out at Gulliver’s Kingdom family theme park (20 minutes) or a cable car ride with splendid views at Heights of Abraham (20 minutes).
