When you arrive you are shown to your pitch by a member of staff.
The shower block is second to none with hot water 24/7 & within easy walk of all pitches. All pitches are on hardstanding with room for an awning. Water fill up is located centrally as is waste water disposal but there is no motorhome service point on the site. The site is always kept tidy.
On the site you have a small shop, games room with an information room as well as a laundry room.
Buxton is only a short walk away with plenty of shops & bars. Morrisons would be the closest supermarket.
Stayed here for 3 nights and got the last touring pitch. Well kept place and warden shows you to your pitch.
2 adults and 2 kids and we stayed in the upper part of the site - near toilets but a bit away from the small play park. There is a small shop.
Everything on this site was immaculate. Family room in the toilet block is a bonus. We were on a hard standing and stayed bone dry even through the rain. Maybe about 15mins walk from the outskirts of town. Very quiet and secure.
We stayed at Lime Tree park for two nights over the weekend, rang up and booked on the Friday morning and they were able to find room for us! We said we might arrive slightly after 8pm and they were OK with that, as long as they had notice of roughly what time. We arrived and they booked us in very quickly, lots of brochures and guides in reception. We had to ride around a bit to find a spot as they were busy. We came on motorbikes so tried to find some hard ground to park them.
The site is right off the main road and very easy to locate, but far enough away not to hear any traffic. There are some sheep on the surrounding fields, but what do you expect in the peak district!
There is a games room that stays open until 8pm, but I noticed people in there after this time on Sat night. There is a small play area with swings, swing bridge, slide and seesaw.
They also have a laundry room which had a washing machine and dryer, didn't use either so can't comment on that. The toilets were in great condition, as were the showers. Never grubby when I went in, so must be cleaned quite a bit! My experience of the showers was excellent, lots of hot water, although some other people commented that theirs was luke warm. I'd advise using the showers when no one else is in there!
Great location for Buxton, we walked in on the Saturday morning, probably took about 30 mins (not sure if we went the quickest way). We were able to get a taxi on the way back for £4, but there is also a bus service that runs to the hospital on the main road. Not much in way of restaurants very near the site, but Buxton has loads of different places to eat. We ate at Firenze Pizzeria, they had an early bird offer (5. 30-6. 30 I think), any pasta or pizza dish and garlic bread between 2 for £5. 20 each. Very good value and tasty too, recommended.
Loads of things to do and see around Buxton, you can get a top up of natural mineral water from the fountain by The Slopes. Lots of independent shops, very pretty town.
It is nice and clean site with separate areas for touring caravans and tents.
There are 3 toilets and showers for each of the mens and womens sides and 2 sinks for washing up by the coded toilet block, given the size of the site this seems a little on the sparse side of things.
The toilets and showers are well maintained, clean and free.
The fields are generally sloping with a few small level areas which are quickly taken, there is also a playground.
There is also a pool room by reception.
Price was £15 night, under 5s are free. £20 per night for a big tent including 2 adults.
The top field is sloping and catches the wind, the more sheltered pitches are quickly taken. The owners/ maagers are lovely people so I would revisit but probably out of season when its quieter.
Stayed for one night, wardens helpful & friendly. Weather was wet & windy and they suggested we camp on the grass verges before the open camping field as they were shielded by the conifer trees, which we didn't mind as we didn't want to be too near other people.
Camp site facilities were great, little shop, pool room, laundry and the cleanest toilet block I have ever seen at a camp site.
Everything looked to be well looked after and maintained. Campsite 5 mins taxi drive from centre of buxton.
All in all a good campsite and would visit again but hopefully better weather next time!
This is a wonderful camping ground. Clean, tidy and the camping pitches were well maintained and protected. It is not a long walk into town from the site or to a local Morrisons
We were late checking in but the warden showed us about and filled us in on the need-to knows. The showers and toilets were immaculate with hair dryers and the entrance is key coded, I guess to prevent walkers using them.
Unfortunately there is no recycling at the site. Apparently the council don't pick up from there. However, there are ample recycling facilities at Morrisons, so maybe the owners could still consider collecting and recycling. This was the only negative
Myself and my two daughters, 9yrs and 13yrs of age, visited Limetrees Park, last weekend, our first visit to the 'Peak District', I arrived as a single parent, and we were keen to have some fun.
We stayed in the 'Lightwood Lodge', which we all agreed, was fantastic, with incredible views.
Ian and Gilly (Site Managers) took us under their wings, and were brilliant hosts, they provided us with ideas of places of interest to visit, that appealed to all of us.
At night time, Ian and Gilly invited us to join them and other occupants from the park, had a Chinese takeaway Friday night, and a BBQ, Saturday night, we also had a dip in their hot tub, which the girls couldn't stop talking about.
Fantastic site, people, and scenery, WOW what a break, well worth the visit, and we shall be definitely be returning.
We didn't think we could get away for the long Bank holiday weekend as we had jobs to do but fortunately for us we managed 1 night on the Sunday. After ringing round many sites we were overjoyed when Lime Tree park said they could accommodate our motorhome.
They were so helpful on the phone, even said they would make sure first and ring us back which they did within 5 minutes.
On arrival although the site was so busy they explained to us fully where things were situated and even told us the best way of walking into Buxton, nothing seemed too much trouble.
Toilets were immaculate and even played music in there which I found as a nice touch. Even though the site was full the site was very clean and we noticed that the bins were emptied regularly.
It was only a 20 minute walk in to Buxton which has many bars and restaurants. It was an enjoyable night and we were just sorry that we hadn't spent longer at the site. It is a site that I will definitely return to.
Visited this site for 1 night to explore the Goyt Valley. The site is ideally situated with Buxton town centre a walk away and the local Morrisons just down the road!
The facilities are excellent and the kids enjoyed a quick visit to the games room. The toilet blocks were extremely well looked after due to the need for a code to enter, this also helped as children couldn't reach so needed to be accompanied all the time.
We managed to set up camp on the edge of the playground, as the site was quiet we could let the kids have free run of the park and still be able to chill on the chair outside the tent keeping a good eye on them!
Will visit this site again but for longer next time!
First Visit to Lime Tree Park and I couldn't find a negative if I tried. Okay, the Goats in the surrounding fields made a bit of noise in the evening but if that is too much for you then maybe camping isn't the best idea?
Surrounding area is beautiful with Pooles Cavern, the country park, pavilion gardens and the live all within 5 minutes drive and a good shopping precinct with a high street within 5 minutes walk.
The staff were incredibly helpful, organised our pitch to help with a need we had and were friendly from arrival to leaving. The grass even got an extra trim just before we arrived.
Toilet block was perfect, family wet room handy for us and the washing up area a bonus. The little park and shop on site were good enough and the whole site was family friendly. My 2 year old daughter liked the sheep, cows and goats.
Definite visit again from us, we normally camp at Hope Valley but its close enough for us to use here again.
Visited site for five nights in good weather. We were a party of four adults, three children and a dog. Really happy with the layout of the site and the facilities.
We were pitched in the main field so it was a hundred metre walk to the toilet block but no great problem.
The doors to the toilets/showers had a combination lock on them which was good as it stops kids playing in there but no so good for kids who can't reach the lock to let themselves in and then need to be escorted!
The staff were very friendly and helpful and keep the site immaculate. The dog walking area was very good but a little distance from where we were pitched although that just meant the dog got a better walk!
The site was well located near to the town centre and right near a supermarket.
Some of the local takeaways do delivery to the site and there was a chip van that turned up one night although we didn't use - if the queue for it was anything to go by it can't be too bad!
We camped for a Saturday night at Lime Tree Park, principally to test out a new new tent, and had never been to this site. We were not disappointed.
Since it was not busy, the owners had put all-comers into the top site opposite the toilet block, which is principally a caravan part of the site. We were a little disappointed, as the elevated camping field at the other end of the site had the better views, if not the toilets. As stated. Its a long way to the toilets from here. New toilets needed. Still, where we were was much closer to the main entrance, so its swings and roundabouts.
The prices are clearly shown in their website, which seem about on-par for a decent site with good facilities in a good location.
The site and its facilities were first class, with the toilet block to a very high standard. Small shop next to reception, and a small TV/games room there too. A good touch, but only open to 8pm, if I remember correctly, so no good if you want to watch Match of the Day.
The location is very good, and is 1 mile dead from the centre of Buxton, on its south side and very close to the hospital, so its easily walkable. Thats left out of the site: right will also take you to Buxton, but to the very far other end of it, and to Morrisons, and further on Wetherspoons if that's what you want.
Turning left and along, and right at the main Ashbourne to Buxton road, is the better route, and nearer I believe. There is a bus route there, too. The nearest pubs this way are the Blazing Rag, and The Robin Hood. The former looks like a 'proper' boozer.
Carry on walking and you come to central Buxton/the market place (now car park). Its this area which is the night-life centre (further on and down the hill is the main pedestrianised and extensive shopping centre).
Pubs and restaurants aplenty, in (I believe) the highest town in England. The Kings Head is superb, with very good real ale and food, and The Swan is also a gem. The Sun Inn is very olde worlde, unspoilt and pricey. But worth it. Further on, The Clubhouse (by the Opera House) is excellent too.
We would go back to this site, despite the quite shocking weather we got. Rain and cold. More like January weather.
As a comparison, we have been a few times to Cold Springs Farm campsite on the north side of Buxton. Short and sweet: Lime Tree is more expensive but better facilities and far more orientated to caravans.
It also has a bus route where buses actually exist. Some may prefer the location here, too. Cold Springs is cheaper, but its main difference is its stunning views of the Goyt Valley and more rural location
Its a mile from Buxton, and the nearest pub (The Clubhouse: very good) whereas Lime Tree is a mile from Buxton, so no difference, but its only half a mile from the nearest pub (The Robin Hood, and The Blazing Rag: some will like, some won't).
We had a 3 night stay over the weekend. Electric hook up, so in the field up the hill. Very well kept grounds field/, they were mowed almost every day.
Staff very friendly and helpful when asked where to go and what to see. Toilets were kept very clean, but not sure what to make of the piped music (radio peak I think). However, the showers were very disappointing! Just a trickle of water, not a power shower in sight.
The best thing about camping is getting a hot shower to warm you up after a cold night under canvas. These really need to be improved to keep up with the rest of the facilities.
Apart from that, a very nice experience.
