Booked in advance for the half term/last river pageant weekend.
Facilities were very basic, adapted garden sheds formed the toilet (singular) and shower. The redeeming aspect of the shed was the constant ventilation.
Chemical emptying point was dismal, very very basic, adjacent to drinking water tap. Not children friendly. (Bordering on dangerous)
Surrounding area is very scenic, affording loads of sight seeing and walking. Well placed in terms of things to do.
This review relates to campsite. Not Derbyshire.
The site generally was looking tired, dead schrubs in planters. Hazardous holes in boggy ground. It had all the signs of a tough summer.
At £15.00 per night/24 hour. It seems rather expensive considering that it was every person for themselves when choosing their site. Some call it slightly sloping. But when the van needs lifting 8/9' to attempt to level it equates to a 10%+ incline.
All in all very unimpressed. CCC CS should have realised.

Booked for this site very last minute as couldn't get in anywhere else. Having read reviews was a bit apprehensive but needn't have been.
The owner greeted us on arrival and offered us a choice of pitch with electric. Ours was nice and level contrary to some of the other reviews.
If you come to this site, don't expect frills but all the amenities were more than adequate and kept spotless.
Sitting outside the tent watching the trams travel up and down the hillside was brilliant.
The owner didn't bother you once pitched but was always available if needed. We will definitely be coming back for the peace and tranquillity.

Near by to the Tram Museum - a steep uphill walk and the road doesn't have paths so a little daunting.
The site is basic - toilet was in a shed but well cleaned. Also a shower in a shed but didn't use. Lady met us on arrival and pointed out where to pitch - no info on site or area given.
CL area very slopping and quite small - some vans with a couple of cars so felt crowded. The camping field below was quite spacious and has ehu in 1 corner.
Both the field and CL had long grass and lots of previous cuttings which got in everywhere.
Only problem we had was a tent trying to pitch within 6 ft of us despite large field - instead they pitched in CL area no more than 3 ft from next tent. Could do with either marking out pitches or making sure people pitch sensible distances.
It's a basic camp site and probably good for kids as plenty of space to run around in fields. At £15 we found expensive for what you get.

Had a couple of nights here, rang at short notice but were accommodated well even though it was getting late when we arrived. We pitched in the lower field and had it all to ourselves.
The views are beautiful around the campsite with great walks to undertake. We walked into Crich as it was sunny on our first full day and found a fairly good mini market to get supplies.
There is a nice pub just a short walk form the campsite and more in Crich but perhaps the road is a little dark at night without pavements on some stretches so maybe taking the car in an eve is wiser if going for a drink or meal!
Enjoyed our stay, grass needed a trim in places but only due to the owners having problems with their mower on the day we got there but they had done a decent job with what machinery they had to hand!
As stated in another review the shower and toilet are in separate sheds. Rustic, but we were camping so this was fine!Just one 'tiny' gripe. There was nowhere to wash pots, ok if in a caravan but if camping it made things a bit difficult having to boil up water each time. Got round it by just taking the bowl and getting hot water from the shower(free to use)to go back to the tent to wash up.
Overall a great place and at £15 inc EHU we loved our stay here!

Just a weekend away, found the site to be a bit steep for my unit, the only level space was being saved for someone else, who didn't turn up! I had my jockey wheel fully extended and the back of the van on the grass, so not too clever and couldn't use my awning with the van being three feet up in the air.
The facilities for water/waste etc were OK, if a little rustic.
We were pretty crammed in, ten units in a small field, with tents in the next field, my neighbour's car was under my window. Only having one toilet and one shower for nearly fifty campers (I counted them) left us all ducking and diving for opportunities to toilet and shower.
At £15 per night for basic facilities, not good value in my opinion
Location wise is fine, with some good walking and sightseeing opportunities.

A friendly welcome from John received on the 5 caravan site and we were able to choose where we wanted to pitch as the site was empty. The ground was soft for the pegs on the awning so no bent pegs at end of holiday. The caravan did need the levelling ramps due to a slight slope.
The toilet was in a 6 * 4 shed and the shower in 8 * 6 shed. For £15 a night I would not expect more and they were clean.
The shower unfortunately did not work on second morning but I did forget to mention initially to owners (emailed them later). The second day we were there we had around 6 - 8' of snow and the whole area suffered a power cut from 07:00 until 7:00 at night.
The owner checked on us three times during the day including checking if we wanted chips or any food fetching as her son was able to get out into the village plus delivering candles at the evening (we did have the 12volt lights hence we did not use candles).
The driveway was cleared of snow by the owners and they checked we were able to get off the grass when leaving. Good views over the peak district and of the tramway museum.
The site is fantastic value for money with a friendly couple looking after it who would have been willing to show the children around the farm. We did not accept the offer this time as they were busy running around after losing power for a day.
The only thing we found odd was we could not arrive until after 2:00pm which we thought was late.
