Date of Visit: September 2012 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Missystarr29 2 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely campsite. There appears to be a lot of seasonal static caravans but there was also plenty of tents pitched around.

The scenery of the viaduct and hill was lovely and the facilities are good. The toilets/showers are kept clean.

There was some noise until 12 pm on the first night despite the warning sign of no noise after 10 pm.

There's a morrisons at the bottom of the road which is ideal and Matlock and Bakewell are all within a short drive away.

We also visited the East Midlands Discount shopping village which was excellent!

Reviewer: Kitchpoo 10 reviews from this member

 Had a lovely week here. Just about managed to get our caravans up the hill to the top pitches with a lovely view of the viaduct. Train mad children very excited when an occasional freight train went over.

Lots of people keep their caravans on site here and many around us were not in residence, however one or 2 with tv's in awnings were a bit loud quite late on at times.

Quite close to a rat run of a road with a bit of road noise which is a shame.

Showers and toilets are checked regularly. The showers are proper and not push button ones! Hooray!

There is a little play area but too far away for little one to explore by himself. However, he enjoyed scootering up and down the roadway and round the roundabout!

I had my 40th birthday here and the wardens delivered me some flowers ordered by my family. So will remember this place!

Would definitely return!

 I visited this site for a week on my own with my 8 year old son, we had a lovely time despite the weather. Even though it was just the 2 of us we felt very safe, the site itself was very pretty we managed to pitch on one of the Terraces leading up to the top field. The ground was quite sloppy but we managed to pitch to minimise the affect.

My son loved the little pool room and play park and once we were back from our days out I hardly saw him as he was off with the other children playing.

The toilet facilities were always clean, they were coded to get into which was a bit high for my son, he could reach the ladies just but not the men's.

Staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way one evening when the site was very quiet to keep my son entertained.

There were plenty of places in Buxton to eat and take aways, but we tended to eat when we were out and about.

We would use this site again if in the area.

Reviewer: Steve.1945 8 reviews from this member

 This camp site is situated in a beautiful location, the owners left a little bit to be desired, on the sunday night they were out leaving nobody in charge on the camp site.

We went to a theme park for the day and they appeared out of nowhere and said we weren't allowed to leave our dogs unattended for the day, when I explained I thought it was better to leave them in the tent for a few hours than locked in the car he dismissed me out of hand. When my wife took the dogs for their evening toilet they told us there was a proper dog walk and they didn't like where we were walking the dogs, (outside our tent). When my 2 girls went in the shop the owners wife was quite rude to them, telling them to hurry up as she other things to be getting on with.

To sum up this this site, it is beautiful site, in a great location but I will be looking elsewhere next year which is a pity as this site is in a great location. 


Date of Visit: July 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cbrpilot 14 reviews from this member

 Visited this site in July during another very wet spell. Although the grassed areas were waterlogged the staff succeeded in keeping the site looking very clean and tidy. Our pitch was on the top touring field, overlooking the viaduct.

The toilet and shower block were kept very clean, both my wife and I were happy with the temperature and power of the showers and agreed that the piped 24/7 radio was a very nice touch. The building itself was kept aired though cold in an effort to stop condensation, but not a problem for us. We explored the whole of the site and found it very well kept with good facilities though we never actually used the shop or launderette.

To be honest the only time we met the staff was when they showed us to our pitch although we did see them during the frequent inspection/cleaning visits to the shower/toilet block.

The site is very well situated a short distance from Buxton, a Morrisons supermarket is a short walk/drive away and the town of Buxton itself has so much to offer, especially lovely are the Pavilion Gardens.

We also visited The Blue John mine, Castleton and Eyam. Very interesting places that we would highly recommend people to visit.

We would definitely stay at Lime Tree again and recommend the site as a great base for your visit to the area.

Date of Visit: June 2012 Unit:  Static
Reviewer: Sharpmeister 1 review from this member

 We visited over Whitsun (2 adults, 1 child). Although we are campers we treated ourselves to a static caravan on this occasion. In hindsight this was a good choice as the weather was indifferent.

The site is in a nice location just on the outskirts of Buxton (we walked into the centre in 10-15mins).

The main camping field at the top end of the site is on a slope but not excessive, and there are some flatter, more secluded pitches on the way up to the main field.

At the other end of the site is the touring/camping EHU field which looked very nice and is flatter than the main camping field. When we come back with the tent we will definitely opt for this field. The toilet blocks are to a good standard, and the shop on site is well stocked with basic essentials. There is also a games / play room and launderette all in the same block, and the children's play area is located just behind/above this.

The owners/staff were all very friendly and helpful and contributed to a very enjoyable stay.

I definitely recommend this site and we will be returning with the tent shortly (fingers crossed for better weather) 


Date of Visit: May 2012 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: RIMMER 207 reviews from this member

 Very pictureque site, had a nice hardstanding pitch overlooking the viaduct, though noticed a lot of seasonal pitches nearby so imagine would be fully booked during peak times. Toilet block very clean and had no problems with the showers. This is an excellent site for walking, two public footpaths run through the site, Buxton can be walked to in about 20 mins. And Morrisons can be walked to in 10 mins. Using the public footpath opposite the site entrance otherwise not a lot to do locally, there is a nice Wetherspoons pub about half a mile after the Morrisons supermarket. The nearest bus stop is about 15 min. Walk away going afar as Manchester and Sheffield every hour. Paid £22/night for two with ehu.

Reviewer: Joy chamberlain 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed here Monday to Friday in glorious weather 2 adults then a couple of relatives decided to join us which was no problem for the staff. The views from our pitch were outstanding. The staff are very friendly, all stopping to have a word with us. The facilities were clean and checked regularly.

Our pitch seemed to be in an adults only area as there is a play area at the back of reception

Had a walk into Buxton, stayed there too long and had to walk back in the dark which I advised anyone to take a torch with them as there is no street lighting.

We will definitely be revisiting the site at some time. 


Date of Visit: May 2012 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Anita Phillips 1 review from this member

 Visited this site again last weekend, fourth year in a row and our seventh visit, group of eight people, two tents.

Absolutely love the place, the wardens are so friendly and accommodating, nothing is to much trouble. We have asked for the same pitches on numerous occasions and they go out of their way to make sure we get them.

The facilities are spotless and checked at various times of the day. Three showers, always very hot and have never had to queue for a shower. Fresh flowers in the wash rooms a lovely touch.

Four children between the two groups that go and the kids love the place and always ask when we are going again. The wardens always make the children feel welcome.

Would not hesitate to recommend the place to anyone. A must visit site.

Reviewer: Deecee3scholes 3 reviews from this member

 Nice site but not family friendly. No ball games, no dogs off leads, no climbing etc. I as much as anyone don't like my car being used as a goalpost but camping is a family event.

Showers are clean and well presented but very cold (heating) and low flow from showers.

Buxton is lovely not too far to walk and plenty to see.

This site is fine if this is what you want.

Date of Visit: April 2012 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Loverton 5 reviews from this member

 We visited Lime Tree Park for 2 nights at the beginning of April and on the second night encountered very heavy snow in the early hours, which meant that we were stranded and not able to leave the site. The Wardens at the site couldn't have been more helpful and allowed us to stay until the next day and we were able to remain warm and comfortable until then. They worked really hard to ensure that the site was cleared of snow.

Despite our offer, they refused any payment for the extra night, which I am not sure would have been the case on other sites.

We will definitely be returning again, as the site is so handy for walking into Buxton and the facilities are spotless. 


Date of Visit: September 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Jobag 2 reviews from this member

 We visited Lime Tree Park for the third time as a large group - we had intended to visit North Wales but the weather forecast did not look favourable for a stream-side pitch (boggy ground etc) and so it was a last minute booking.

We managed to get a lovely flat pitch which isn't always easy here when the site is busy - the main camping field is on quite a severe slope.

The site itself is great for large family groups and the 2 dogs we had in the party - lots of open space, the kids love the play area and the facilities are always clean and adequate - although I don't like the fact that there are locks on the toilets as it means someone always have to take the shorter kids as they can't reach the keypad!

I have no doubt we will return again and again - the local area is lovely, a Morrisson's supermarket is only a short drive away and we have had some lovely pub meals in Buxton! 


Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Chickpea757 4 reviews from this member

 We stayed with a group of friends at Lime Tree Park, unfortunately the weather was typically British the whole time we were there!

Good points:

Clean toilet blocks

Large pitches

Easy access

Morrison's 5 minutes drive away

Bad points:

Town not really in walking distance so you needed to use the car.

Children's play area far away from our section up a steep hill.

Overall a nice site with friendly and helpful staff. 


Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Elaineja65 5 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for two nights recently. Greeted by a very friendly person at reception, booked in quickly and shown where the shop, toilets/showers, laundry and games room were. Directed to the tent areas and off we went!

Plenty of space available for tents. We managed to find a secluded wee spot before the big main field (which looked a bit sloped for pitching a tent?) and were set up in no time. Sheltered at the back by fir trees, and to the front and sides by other tents.

Kids took off on their bikes to explore and found the small but ample swing-park, which is also a shortcut to the toilet/shower block (which were clean and fresh). The games room had a pool table and board games/colouring books and also a tv where you could watch tv programmes or dvds from the reception. This was also stocked with leaflets of things to do in the surrounding area.

Bonus of this small site is the Morrisons supermarket/petrol station which is situated 2 mins drive down the road. Easily accessible on foot and very handy for the shopping supplies! Also the town of Buxton is a 5min drive away, with shops to cater for all needs.

No entertainment on site but as we were only here for 2 nights this wasn't an issue. The swing park and the fact that the kids had their bikes was more than enough.

Would definitely return here for a short break if in the area again. Very handy for Alton Towers. 


Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Gefb 3 reviews from this member

 A lovely campsite set in a valley near Buxton.

The staff are very welcoming and when you arrive take you to you pitch with recommendations on where to set-up. The site feels smaller than it actually is and was very little noisy when we visited.

The pitches all look to slope slightly but not to be problematic.

There is a very nice shower block that has exceptionally clean facilities and a never ending supply of hot water. There are 3 mens and 3 ladies showers - we never had to wait.

The site is extremely safe for young children. There is a baby change room and a family shower room.

There is a small shop and they supply most types of gas.

The site is within easy walking distance of the town, Morrisons is less than a five minute drive and the Buxton Real Ale Company have their brewery in nearby industrial units.

Highly recommended - will use again.
