 We found the site relatively easy as it is signposted and were surprised how spacious it actually is. There were about 4 other tents in our field and the only downside was the pubescent teenager who was laughing and causing a racket until 4am! Other than that it was clean, tidy and had good facilities. It was £10 for the both of us and the showers had hot water and were free. Also, there was a clean area for washing pots.
We enjoyed a nice run on in the morning (we only stayed for one night) and the scenery was lovely. Definitely will visit again; this was our first time camping and was a very enjoyable experience.

A lot of the pitches are taken by longterm caravans. There looks to be 9 electric pitches available and probably about 15 without electric.
The campsite is extremely tidy, there is a separate area for tents which looks really nice as there are christmas trees dotted about and you pitch in and around them, there looks to be plenty of space. There is a pot washing area, and you have to walk up to the caravan area for loo and shower, but its not too far. The tent pitch site looked full and I would say there were about 20+ tents on.
The toilet and showers are very small, the ladies had two toilets and one shower, the shower cubicle was very small and it was difficult to change as the floor was wet through (hubby said this wasnt happening in his side!). The showers cost 20p. The block was dated but kept very clean etc., and given the number of campers I never saw a que!
The caravan pitches aren't particularly private but the sites not busy so it wasn't a problem.
The approach road through Tansley is not very wide and luckily not well used so we didn't have a problem with passing anyone - basically you couldnt have done!
This is a very quiet relaxed site, not at all busy, there is a nursery but we didn't look at that (not enough time). The nearest shop/pub etc is in Tansley which is about 1 1/2 miles from the site and a nice walk. The owner doesn't specify a time to be off and we left about 5pm.
There are lots of walks in the area and the walk up to Riber Castle for the views is worth the hill!
We will definately use this site again as it is handy for Matlock Bath, lots of walks and very relaxing. Families with children wouldn't like the caravan side I think it would be a bit too quiet, however there were a few 'happy' sounding kids on the tent pitches. I was just amazed how the site is not fully booked at this time of year.
