We visited for 2 nights and the area and location is good but we weren't very keen on the site. With the location they have, next to the river with the hills all around they could make it so much nicer but we were disappointed with it - it isn't really an attractive campsite, lots of gravel and not any landscaping or plants/flowers to give it any character. The pitches are small and close together and there seem to be a lot of rules compared to other sites (although I haven't been to other sites in this area).
The facilities were very clean and there weren't any queues although there may be on bank hols etc. As there are only 4 showers in the main block. It is quite a noisy site, with lots of young children.
On the plus side the village of Hope is a short walk and Castleton just a couple of miles (20 mins-ish walking) so there are pubs and shops, and also the train station if you want to catch it somewhere and walk back. The area is really beautiful and the location is great but we wouldn't return to this site. However. Lots of people obviously like it as it was fully booked when we were there!
Just spent three nights at this site, it was very clean, lots of space round the tent. Only down side if any was no play park, but saying that our six year did make a lot of friends with the other children. The no noise after 10.30 was brill, very peaceful, apart from the road!
Not sure if would visit again, but could not fault with the location or the site.
The walk into Castleton was a joy, and the surrounding walks looked great, but the weather was not kind to us, so could not sample any more the time we was there.
The walk into Hope village was lovely, and the well stocked Spa, meant that we ate well during our stay.
We visited this site in early July, being 2 adults & 1 small dog, arriving on Wednesday morning. The reception was manned by a very helpful lady who showed us several pitches where we could set up. The site was quite empty at first. There is a static section and several seasonal tourer pitches. The showers were very clean at all times with plenty of hot water. The washing up area had about 8 sinks with 2 low ones for children and disabled campers. A word of warning, the water is very hot!
The reception had a small shop and useful information room. There is a very short dog walk, we found it better to cross the road and go into the fields via a public footpath along the river, where we saw kingfishers on 2 occasions.
From Friday afternoon the site began to fill up, and eventually was completely full. The tent part seemed to be very crowded, but as we weren't pitched there I really don't know how much so. Even though the site was full, we were always able to get use of showers etc.
The local village was Hope which is a short stroll away and has 2 pubs, there is another pub the other way about half a mile. There is also a SPAR which seems to sell everything and was being refurbished, take a bag as they are charging for them (rightly so), there are a few cafes too and a post office which sells papers etc. Castleton is a 2 mile walk away from Hope accessed from behind the church along paths through fields, which can get muddy. This is a lovely place with several pubs and cafes. There is also a large free visitor centre with a large exhibition about the Peak District, and good information area. The staff were very helpful, even coming to tell me we could take our dog round with us. We were there for over 2 hours.
We can recommend this site but not for those who like a bit of peace and quiet, that is not to say that it was rowdy.
We have just got back from a weekend at this campsite and had a fantastic time. We were in a small tent and had a pitch on the main tent field. The one fault I could find with the site is that the pitches are quite small, although we had plenty of space really. However, it was a big advantage when arriving late on a Friday after work to have a marked pitch though- sometimes arriving late you find all the good places have gone, but not here.
The facilities were very clean and althought he site was full were never too busy. The washing up sinks were surprisingly spotless, and there were 6 of them so again there was always space.
The shop was not well stocked, but it is only a 5 min walk into Hope to the Spar, which is open 7-10. There are also some great pubs there. On a weekend morning a bread van comes round. We got some delicious (though pricey) fresh bread which was really handy.
The site was really quiet after 10.30- people seemed to really take notice of the request for quiet, and although they were still outside because of the lovely weather, there was barely any noise. We got a fantastic night's sleep both nights.
On Saturday we did the 2 mile walk into Castleton, as suggested on the site's website. It was a lovely little walk, easy terrain and great views. They told us at reception where to go which was helpful, and it was lovely to be able to go out all day without the car.
All in all a fab weekend, and we will definitely be going back to this site.
2 adults in a tent, pitches big but not huge, no room really for windbreaks on the electric field, really nice to have the choice of a no children bit, as it was our first holiday without the rugrats. Toilets, showers, laundry room all spotless
Staff really friendly. Site really good for walkers. Would definitely go again
The site was accommodating on late booking and has allocated pitch sizes of which seem to be to close All facilities are excellent although can be quite a trek too the toilet, shower, pot washing block. The shop is poor, just as well a spar in local vicinity. Some tent pitches are under trees and this then caused the car and tent to become covered in tree sap. All in all an average stay. Probably won't go back
Staff very friendly and approachable, toilets, showers, wash up area always clean, location great for exploring,g reat food at near by pub - The Travelers Rest. Only drawback pitches - too cramped and not enough showers when site full
We stayed at Laneside for a week, 2 adults a 3-year-od and a five month old.
We were really impressed with the site. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, and provided a map showing the immediate area and the location of pubs, shops, train station etc. Our pitch was great as it was at the end of a row so was about half as big again as the regular pitches. Our caravan, awning and car fit comfortably, although the other pitches did look a little cramped.
The pitches were level, backing onto stone wall, fence or hedges.
The toilet block was spotless, with a handy large disabled / family shower in each, plus private washrooms with sink and mirror. There was a laundry room with baby changing facilities and a baby bath (though there wasn't actually any hot water in that bit to fill the bath, we managed to fill it in the shower though so no real problem). We didn't use the wash-up area but it looked nice and clean and there were plenty of sinks, including a low level one for kids or wheelchair users.
There was no play area for kids but this didn't bother us at all as we had lots of other things planned. The little stream provided hours of entertainment for our little boy and the ducks were good fun (although they did poo in our awning!). The roadways throughout the site were great for our little boy riding his bike and the other campers were very considerate and drove slowly. It was very quiet at night. There was a designated dog walking area.
The most fantastic thing about this site was its location. Wow! Literally minutes walk from Hope village, which has a spar, couple of pubs (we didn't sample unfortunately!). Train station and bus stop right opposite. We visited Chatsworth House, Ladybower, Blue John Caves, Bakewell, Heights of Abraham, and none were further than half an hours drive away. The views from the site were just magnificent.
We would thoroughly recommend this site for visiting the Peak district, especially for families, we found it good value, great service and exceptional location. We'll be back.
Just back from May Bank Hol weekend at Laneside.(2 parties with dog and children )
The site facilities are excellent - showers hot and clean and toilets spotless. There is a sheltered washing up area again spotless - take care - water very hot. Handy selection of essentials for sale in reception. We booked very last min so were pitched along hedge next to road which was quite noisy but would book early next time for a riverside pitch. Local pub in village serves very good food and both pubs are dog friendly and child friendly. Overall an excellent site.
Good location with well sized pitches. EHU but no fully serviced pitches. Basic site and facilities, but clean and well maintained. Only one central toilet/shower block and waste disposal - which would be a hike if located on the outer edges of the site. The road is very busy and as others have mentioned noisy throughout the night, so get pitch away from road.
Very good walks in the area, and Hope village about 10 minutes walk from site with local
Shops, veg shop, butches and bakers. Overall could do with upgrading the facilities, but cheap
And cheerful site. Would go back but not next to road.
As I am a newcomer to camping with my family I have used this website, especially the reviews, so thought it only fair to submit my review of this campsite.
This was our first 'family' camping holiday with 2 adults, 3 kids (3, 5 & 7 yrs). The camp site was extremely clean, wardens patrolling regularly clearing litter etc, and checking everything in order.
The toilet & shower block very clean and not busy at all times I visited and enough space to sort the kids out as well. The washing up area looked clean and was never busy, there were always sinks available (although didn't use so cant really comment).
Although there was little to keep the kids entertained as there is no play area, they soon made friends with fellow campers.
The downside to this site is the close proximity to the road, which is a very busy one. Also the site is close to a cement works, with huge (and noisy) wagons coming and going all day (and night!). I didn't get any sleep for first 2 nights (3rd night was bank holiday so no lorries - thank goodness!)
All in all the site is extremely clean and managed well, although I would not return due to the noise from the road.
Excellent site with good facilities. Just across the road from the station so easy to get to Edale & Hathersage or Manchester & Sheffield if wet! Have stayed here twice now, once for a long weekend & the second time for a week. Have been lucky & been given a pitch in the 'top field' both times - the main camping field below does seem a touch crowded at peak times.
We didnt intend using this site but as we had made better time than we had planned we decided to walk a bit further. I knew of the site having driven past it many times so we thought we would give it a try. As it turned out we were very glad we did. The toilet/shower block were clean and very well maintained. The staff were welcoming and friendly. As it was in the week the site was very quiet, we found a lovely pitch by the river where we watched a Kingfisher darting up and down.
The village is in easy walking distance with a good shop, pubs etc.
The railway station is just across the road and is also well served with buses. A cheap all day family ticket called a Derbyshire Wayfarer is available and is very good value. Check out their web site.
Excellent site, well run and in beautiful suroundings.
We arrived for a weeks stay on the Friday of the bank holiday. The day before our arrival was very wet, but luckily as we had a pitch with EHU and we were fine (the camping field was very muddy). Our pitch was more than spacious,(although pitches on the camping field did look very cramped), and although the first night the road noise bothered us, we did get used to it very quickly and it didn't bother the children.
The facilities are the cleanest I have come across and the staff are very helpful.
Even though the campsite was full, everyone observed the 10.30 rule.
The site is central to everything in the Peak District and a fantastic place to stay.
We've just come back from our second visit to this site & once again we thoroughly enjoyed it.
We found it to be clean & well maintained, and though it was full it was very well managed. Pitches are a bit small but we didn't find this a problem.
We were on the field by the reception area, just by the entrance to the site & quite near to the road but didn't experience any exceptional noise from the road.
The 'no noise after 10' policy was adhered to on both nights of our stay & I didn't see any large groups anywhere on the site.
Hope is a lovely village & there is plenty to do in the surrounding area. The pubs in the village are nice - the one at the far end (I can't remember the name!) serves lovely food & the chinese restaurant/takeaway was also good.
We'll definitely be back!
