Can anyone recommend a campsite around the Glossop area?  Haven't had any luck finding anything on the search facility here.  We want somewhere that accepts dogs & where we can have EHU. 

We're looking to go for 2 nights the weekend after next.  This will be our dogs first experience of camping so we don't want to go too far just in case it's a disaster!

If not Glossop, anywhere within an hour of Audenshaw (near Ashton Under Lyne) would be fine...

Thanks all.

Loads of choice if you go half an hour or so further into Derbyshire.

As Kate says, you will have to go a little further into Derbyshire.  I live in the Glossop valley and I am unaware of any sites hereabouts, but there are several within half an hour or so drive.  There's one not far from Chapel en le Frith I was looking at.

However, warning: come evening, take something for the midges if you want to leave the safety of the mesh in your Diablo - they come at you with knives and forks in these parts!

There is a site in Glossop itself, Windy Harbour Farm Hotel Caravan and Camping. It is on the road out of Glossop, Woodhead Road, which (I believe) eventually leads to Crowdon.

I found it one afternoon when I was walking around Glossop. I didn't get onto the site to have a close look around as there was a Llama (I kid you not) strutting back and forth behind the entrance gate to the camping field. However, there were a few tents on the field, so it must be safe to enter!

From what I could see, the facilities (toilets etc.) seemed to be built onto the back of the hotel and consisted of toilets, showers and dish washing facilities, but again, as I was only passing I did not take a close look.

There doesn't appear to be any reference to this campsite anywhere on here, but I have found it using Google:

http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/hotels/windyharbour.html

Perhaps if you use it, you could post a review, then it could be added to the site listings on here?
