This is an excellent site for touring and walking in the Peak District. Dog walking area just outside site. We have thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be returning in September. Facilities good, including several showers, toilets and washing up. A microwave is available as are washing machine and dryer. Best of all it is high on a hill so even if it rains it isn't flooded. (GREAT "SUMMER" WEVE HAD).
Longnor is nearly 2 miles away rather than the one and a quarter as in advert but 2 of the pubs are very dog friendly including allowed in whilst eating.(Not wine bar). Food served in Cheshire Cat very good. Bar meals in 1st pub from campsite ok. Steak night worth a trip.

This is a lovely site! It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is so peaceful. The booking in process went smoothly and we were shown to our pitch, which was very spacious. The site has a small shop, which I never used so am unable to comment on prices. They also have a small selection of leaflets and information on things to do in the area etc. There is a huge field put aside for dog walking and you get to see the most amazing views while taking an early morning/late evening stroll. The facilities are really well thought out. The toilet cubicles in the ladies also include sinks, which I think is a fantastic idea and more sites should do the same. There are also 3 showers and these are also a good size and I never experienced any queuing. Unfortunately though there was a strong smell of drains most of the time in the ladies, which did put me off using them. I did notice that they kept the windows and doors open a lot of the time, which did alleviate the smell, but they obviously have a problem with their drains. Music was piped into the toilet blocks throughout the day, which was a nice touch. The local village, Longnor, has some lovely pubs and a chip shop. Overall though this is a great site and I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Having two dogs who had never camped before, we wanted to choose somewhere not too far away from home (Nottingham), that we could try for one night. After seeing the reviews on here we chose Longnor.
All the positive points in the reviews were true for our short stay too. Very good facilities, great showers (I picked the busiest time in the morning to have a shower, and all three ladies showers were busy, but I was the only one in the queue after that, so didn’t have to wait long).
They’ve had the great idea of having a washbasin in each toilet cubicle, making it a lot easier to brush teeth etc.
It was a good mix of adults when we were there, couples and groups, and was lively but not too rowdy. The site miraculously went silent at 11pm, which was good.
The site was fully booked during our stay, but even then the pitches are big enough that you don’t feel hemmed in.
The facilities for dogs are good, a nice big field to let them off on, although it is next to the track into the site. It’s not at all a busy path for traffic, but something to bear in mind if you have an unruly dog! There is also a fair amount of woodland surrounding one edge of the park, which isn’t officially for use for dog walking, but a couple of people camping with their dogs told us they were using it. Having a dog who loves rabbits, I chose not to let him off again in there after losing him momentarily as he went running and creating in the woods after some of the wee beasties! The rabbits also freely graze on the site and don’t seem to notice you, which is nice to see, makes you feel properly in the countryside.
The site is situated in a lovely area, a great base for access to all the Peak District has to offer, with amazing views from the tent field.
My only small gripe was the welcome we got from the member of staff on duty. It wasn’t as friendly as the lady I spoke to on the phone. He was going to show me to the pitch, but was then asked a question by another camper, leaving me standing there for a good ten minutes, which I found to be a little rude. But hey, you can’t please everyone!
Overall the site is very good and we’re going back at the end of Sept, as the dogs were little angels and we all loved it!

As we are expecting our first baby, this summer is the last chance to have an adult only holiday and Longnor Wood gave us a great few days. Admittedly the sunny weather helped but still it remains that this is a great little, tranquil site.
On arrival we were personally shown to our pitch which was roomy, allowing us choice in how we arranged the tent and car etc. And it was flat – always a bonus!
There is a pitch and put green, badminton net, boules, sand pit, with equipment being free and available to all. The main building is not a long walk from any pitch and has a small shop, loos/showers and washing up area. This has 2 sinks with hot running water and was very clean. There is also a microwave and small freezer (for ice blocks only). The toilets looked new and each cubicle was very large with its own wash basin and mirror. Great for a private strip wash and getting changed. The showers were hot and free with good pressure. The cleanliness of the facilities was very good but if I’m clutching at straws there was a particular aroma in the ladies last thing at night and first thing in the morning. This was NOT a reflection of cleanliness but more of a drains smell and once the main door was hooked open each morning it seemed to clear quickly. My Husband reported that this issue was not apparent in the mens.
Longnor Village is 1 mile away with numerous pubs. We ate in the one that also has en suite accommodation (can’t remember the name) and the food was excellent. We also got a 10% discount once we mentioned that we were staying at Longnor Wood.
We would not hesitate in going back to this little site but the pending baby situation obviously hinders us somewhat! For a peaceful and tranquil few days away, this is the place. Oh and look out for the numerous rabbits that roam about – very cute!

I have just come back from a weekend away at Longnor Wood. Only my second foray into camping granted so I am hardly a worldly and experienced guide for any of the rest of you lovely ukcampsite regulars, however, I just had to tell you how absolutely wonderful the site was!
It rained 2/3 of the time we were there (hardly their fault!) but despite the dreary weather the site still seemed to shine! The pitching sites are spread out in separate areas, rather than one large area giving you the added benefit of a mini community field, with only single rows of tents off the road on either side. (So you only had people on either side of you not behind you) There are a few outdoor games for the visitors to experience too including boules and badminton, a nicely stocked shop, a laundry room and two sinks for washing pots with a microwave and a freezer for your ice packs. But the most noteworthy has to be the friendly staff of course, and also the toilets! Sad I know being excited about loos, but heh, it wasn't just the loo but the whole ensemble! Loo-shower-sink! (Perhaps I got a little water in my brain this wet weekend to be so bathroom barmy!?) Each toilet cubicle has a sink in it allowing for some private hand washing, or in times of need a private strip wash! The showers are lovely 3 of them which served the campsite well, I felt - didn't have to queue myself! but in general they were impeccably clean and warm and inviting - nothing dodgy lurking anywhere!
The site also allows dogs and has a dedicated dog walking area, which was wonderful! Good place to stretch the furry ones legs and allow for some well earned sniffing out of fellow campers ears!
And of course another worthy note is the fact the park is adult only - nothing against the smaller members of society, I used to be one after all, but it was nice not to fall over them for the weekend and not to feel like my tent had become an object to hide behind etc etc!
We walked into Longnor itself which was equally lovely! 1 and 1/4 miles each way and up hill on the way back! (and boy was I reminded how un fit I am!) we counted 4 pubs on the main square so plenty to chose from (after that tiring walk!) and the scenery is of course breath taking!
All in all an excellent site, excellent location - well worth a look!

Stayed here in a tent at the end of June 2007. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
The toilet and shower facilities were clean and free to use. Site was clean and well-maintained. A microwave was provided, as well as a freezer to cool ice blocks ( ice blocks only, no food-so it was not dirty or a source of bacteria!), which was handy.
Washing up facilities were adequate and clean, and there was a washing machine and a spin-dryer for washing clothes.
There were plenty of leaflets and bits of information about things to do locally. Overall, an excellent and well-maintained site, with friendly helpful staff, (all family, I believe).
Please note, this site is for adults only, so for those with children, bear this in mind, but for the adults it means it was very quiet and peaceful.
