this site was taken over last year, up until then the previous site owners had asked that no reviews be printed.

I havent been since its been taken over, but its not a bad site, got a small swimming pool, toilets and showers were always spotlessly clean, showers used to be on a meter but i think thats changed now.  The pitches are ok, but in wet weather its extremely boggy, but again, i dont know if extra drainage has been put in place.  There used to be a lot of seasonals , i know a lot of people left when it was taken over as the price went up considerably, so i dont know if you would be put in with the seasonals now or not. 

not much help am i !!

anyway, its very handy for the tissington trail on bikes, etc and only 5 mins from ashbourne by car.

hopefully someone who has stayed there recently will be along, sorry thats all i can help you with

Thanks will bear in mind. Tried to get in at Rivendale (been before nice site) but limited spaces for August bank holiday

We've booked for a different area Orchard Park, Nottingham. Went on the reviews in the camp site search. 

Hi there

We stayed on this site half term June 2006 and we had a lovely 3 days. No complaints about the site at all. The kids loved it.

I haven't been to Orchard park in Nottingham but Sherwood Forest is also a good site.  

Just had a look at Highfields and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how much it was. We went here a couple of years ago and it was a good reasonably priced site, but wooooooooooow how much now?????

 I don't just think it's them though because a lot of sites seem to be being greedy, they know how popular caravanning has got, and even in march we have had to pay £18 per night for a site this year which I think is a lot.
