Date of Visit: July 2026 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Henry8090 1 review from this member

 Pros

The site is pleasant enough and the wardens are friendly and helpful. The toilet block is absolutely amazing. Spotlessly clean. The whole site is well manicured, the wardens are doing a great job.

Cons

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here now and not sure we'll come back. It is quite noisy from local industrial estate, there seems to be cars/motorbikes racing around nearby. Although not noticeable too much when in the caravan.

The main thing which puts us off coming back is there are a number of travellers stay on the site, clearly living in their vans. They appear to cluster near to the toilet block.

We thought it was a one off but it is clear this is a regular thing. To put this in perspective, one year one was clearly running a business from the back of a trailer, they had a van, a caravan and a large trailer on their pitch with goods they were clearly going off site to sell.

This year an irish couple were arguing very loudly in their caravan. The whole site could hear them. Vehicles were not taxed or MOTd. Not what I expect on a caravan and motorhome club site, who even have a rule that all vehicle must be taxed! The whole thing made us uncomfortable to the point we didn't like to leave things outside. This may not bother some, but it certainly bothered us.

 Returned for another overnight stop after an event in Newcastle.

Very helpful staff and facilities were well-kept with a shop well-stocked with provisions, sweet treats and ice cream at very reasonable prices. They sold dog food too in loose pouches in very reasonable price in case of emergency.

The country park just down the road had a circular walk around a lake which was flat and suitable for prams and wheelchairs, and was well-kept with fishing pitches dotted around the lake.

The coffee shop at the country park was closed when I got there at about 17:00, so were the toilets.

Dogs need to be on leads at all times in the park. Lots of chicks about while I was there.

Very nice site and I shall return in future, perhaps staying longer and not just for overnighters.

 Pleasant stopover on journey north. Usual high standard caravan club facilities, especially the very warm toilet block using some green energy.

Good place to have a walk after a long journey.

The one irritating thing was that they only gave us one key between two of us for the toilet block.

Reviewer: Dk168 87 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for one night as a stopover en-route to Northumberland.

Very clean and tidy as expected for a CAMC club site with friendly and helpful staff.

There is a small shop that sells essential items and ice cream.

The site is right next to Poolsbrook Country Park which is great for dogs.

Can't remember if there is a children's play area, however, I scored 9 out of 10 for being closed to the adjacent country park where there is a play area and open space for kids to play.

I would definitely return to this site for overnight stopovers again in future.

 Lovely site with really friendly staff.

The lake next to the site is great for walks and relaxing by.

The site is really quiet and peaceful, great location for straight off the motorway,

Highly recommended

Reviewer: Kate w 99 reviews from this member

 Great location for a midway stop off. I stayed here for 2 nights with the dog.

The site is in a great place if travelling up or down the country, easy to access off the M1.

Nicely located next to the country park with plenty of dog walks.

Lots of places to visit within a half hour or so drive.

Great facilities.

A shower for the dog near the site entrance and although near to lots of industrial units and houses, still nice and quiet.

Reviewer: Lady of the lakes 45 reviews from this member

 We stayed on this site as a stop over on our journey, and were pleasantly surprised. Although the site is just a hop from the motorway and very easy to find, it was like being in another world altogether and we weren't aware of any traffic noise.

The site staff checked us in with a friendly smile and a chat, and the pitch was large, level and peaceful. The facilities were clean and of the usual high CAMC standard.

There is a pleasant stroll round the lake right next to the site - lots of water birds which are obviously used to tourists feeding them as they sail over expectantly whenever you stop to admire the view. We arrived too late to try the cafe by the lake, but noted lots of outdoor seating and picnic tables there along with play areas, and there are benches dotted around the lake too.

There are also well marked trails through the wooded areas, along with a walking route into Staveley itself. Staveley looks a bit run down, but is handy for stocking up on groceries. You'll find a fish and chip shop and a pizza place in the pedestrian area just before you get to Morrisons.

I think this site would be a lovely for a longer stay in summer, and plan to visit again.

Reviewer: Eclaire 18 reviews from this member

 Lovely wardens and clean and tidy site.

Flexibility in pitching.

A group of travellers using the site as a base - all gathered at one end.

Some noise from the park - mostly dogs in the day, motorbikes at night.

Staveley is not particularly nice as a town centre but has a good supermarket.

Lots of great walks from the site.

No play area but a great play area by the lake - a short walk away.

Reviewer: Ianarayner 102 reviews from this member

 Stayed for the weekend primarily to do the parkrun which is just a short walk from site.

A lovely laid out site with the usual great facilities and friendly Staff. Easy access and only 10 minutes from M1.

Did a small Bike ride along the TPT and on the canal tow path towards Chesterfield.

Site was fairly busy but not packed. Never a problem in toilets / showers.

We Paid £72 for two nights which is more than we'd usually pay.

Reviewer: CliveNGill 26 reviews from this member

 Very nicely laid out site, well kept with excellent facilities. The location is in a country park with 3 lakes on the site of a closed coal mine I think.

The wardens do a great job on the site it looks great and is very clean.

Locally there is a Canal with a good tow path that goes to Chesterfield and also a good cycle track to the Other Valley.

Location is nice but entry is via an industrial estate.
