Pitches felt like you were crammed in a bit when we first arrived but we weren't disturbed by others or felt a lack of privacy. Its a great location for exploring the Peak District and the campsite itself was good for the kids who loved the shallow stream and playing field. Shops were walking distance and had everything. Pizza and chinese close by if you didn't fancy cooking. The camp is very secure, well lit and has CCTV. All in all one of our favourites and will definitely return.
A very clean and well maintained site, surrounded by gorgeous scenery of the peak district.
Good facilities, including ample and clean toilet and shower facilities, covered washing up area, laundry and baby changing room, waste and recycling point, plus office / shop and public payphone kiosk.
We were in the top field with EHU facilities. In addition to this there are two more areas for caravans, a dedicated camping field for tents and an overflow area.
This campsite is well situated - a 10 minute stroll to the shops in Hope, including Spar and post office / newsagents, cafes, pubs and pizza shop. Only 2 more miles to Castleton, for the show caverns.
We made use of the supermarkets in Chapel en le Frith (Morrisons) and Buxton (Adli / Waitrose / Sainsburys).
As mentioned above, the scenery is lovely, and you are only a short drive from various attractions. We visited Bakewell, Buxton, Chatwsworth House, Ladybower Reservoir, Hathersage.
This was the first time we had visited this site and the Peak District and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be returning some time.
We visited the week before bank holiday weekend, for 5 nights, a tent and 2 adults.
Like most of you, we enjoyed this site, very clean toilets and showers, good washing up facilities, hot free showers that didn't have those smelly shower curtains either and plenty of room to get changed and dry. Washing room facilities were also good.
It was very busy, but school holidays, so was to be expected, and although we have a 5 berth tent our pitch was adequate but definitely not spacious, although we were told by other regulars that pitches in other fields were bigger. There's a no noise policy after 10.30pm and I have to say that on the whole everyone adhered to this rule.
The visiting ducks were always welcome in our tent, its set in the hope valley with lovely scenery all around and Hope is a 5 minute walk away that has 3 pubs, spar shop, fruit and veg shop, but the site does sell the basics such as milk / eggs etc.
Would recommend this site, there is lots to do in the area, and will return.
Returned to touring and just had 1st outing for 12 years. Lane side is quite a pleasant site well located by the river. There are all the usual features which appeared clean but a little privative. I thought that in the past decade or so things would have moved on from painted concrete toilet blocks.
There is traffic and train noise but to be fair most of the time it wasn't a problem.
The village is about 5 mins walk where there are shops, pubs, cafe, bus etc. Castleton is a level 2 miles walk / cycle.
Note that the pubs stop serving food 8 / 8:30ish - The cheshire cheese on the edale Rd is about 15 mins walk and is a quaint old pub with real ale and real good food.
First time ever camping and choose the Peak district thoroughly enjoyed it. Tried to book an additional night but due to the popularity of the campsite they were fully booked up, The shower/toilet block on the campsite was very clean they shut it every day at 11.00am for an hour to clean. We were in walking distance to the town Hope and 5 mins drive to the next town Castleton. Hope has two pubs, spar shop, butchers, camping equipment shop, chinese and a pizza shop. There's also a couple of cafe's.
We visited this site last year before we were memebers of UKcampsite but felt it deserved a good review.
We booked in advance, when we arrived we were offered a choice of pitches, it was very quiet and the spaces between each caravan was huge, so much so we had folding camper, awning, car and enough space to make our own garden with windbreaks - the kids had space for a paddling pool and an area for a blanket to play games on.
We were quite near to the main road and this annoyed my husband BUT I didn't notice car noise at all and I would say that it was probably the most peaceful site we have camped on.
The shower blocks were lovely and spotless and better, this site has to have the best washing up area I have ever seen - it was a pleasure to do the washing up.
The river that flowed at the bottom of the field that we stayed in was great, we all enjoyed paddling in it.
The site did seem to have a lot of older people staying and we seemed to the only couple with children at first and then a few more familes arrived but it wasn't a site where kids were running about playing with each other. We chatted to some lovely people.
We walked into Hope most days to buy from the butchers (lovely meat), the post office (lovely traditional sweets) and the spar (wine) so everything could be found in a short walking distance. The shop on the site was very small and didn't stock very much at that time so we didn't use it much.
The highlight of the campsite for the kids were the ducks and we all enjoyed feeding them, they visited throughout the day and were a pleasure.
We loved Hope so much we have just booked to go back again this week, unfortunately this site was booked so we have booked a different site and we hope it is as good as Laneside.
Spent two nights here. Nice campsite, good location (only a couple of miles walk from Castleton). Unfortunately, despite booking our grass pitch reservation a month in advance, when we arrived we were told to camp in a silly little graveled car park. After contesting, we were finally given the emergency grass pitch on a very windy sloping corner, which made our stay a little uncomfortable.
The toilet blocks were reasonably clean, washing up facilities were good. The camp shop came in handy. Even though there are strict rules of conduct on the site's website, a very rowdy group in a tent nearby kept waking us up through the night!
Though do expect to hear constant bleating, moo-ing and hee-hawing but it is relaxing and reminds you very much of where you are. (Much more relaxing than the noisy humans!)
We couldn't really hear the 'busy' road from where we were situated.
One of the best sites we have ever visited, a little road noise but that doesn't even get noticed after a short while especially with the river and regularly visiting ducks to relax with.
Very reasonably priced.
Safe and secure with adequate lighting and cctv.
Level and spacious pitches.
Clean and quiet.
Plentiful free showers.
Clean washing-up area.
Clean toilets.
A recycling area - much better than just rubbish bins.
Friendly and helpful staff.
This probably sounds like an advert for the site but honestly, we're not employees, we were just totally delighted with the site, the facilities and the area.
Visited this site in June for a 'linked' weekend, which was great. Site very clean, showers spotless etc. Good washing-up facilities, although as I am tall, a bit back breaking as quite low. Office staff very welcoming, and very helpful. Our 5 year old son found very nice friends both weekends we were there, and fellow campers very polite, not at all rowdy and noisy. We were on the road side of the camp, and were not bothered by road noise at all - the sheep in the other direction made more noise!
Have booked to go again in July, and am looking forward to it. The site is not snobby, like the one in Castleton, neither is it full of louts like the one in Bakewell! Good crowd, having a good time QUIETLY!
Our second visit, definitely one of our favourites.
Excellent toilet, showers etc, private cubicles, not found very often, Always clean.
Good undercover washing up area and convenient toilet disposal.
Clean,tidy site, we were on a caravan pitch which was extremly adequate space wise. Hope has all the requirements you might need, walking distance even for my husband who has problem legs. Plenty of places to eat and drink.
Buses stop right outside the entrance and station is walking distance.
Nice to see the riverside area being developed into pleasant gardens etc, THERE IS NO LONGER A SEWERAGE SMELL! We were here the year before last but in all honesty it was not that great a problem even then.
Nice site but loud, quite a few people complaining to each other. Ideal for the family or groups who enjoy a lively holiday not minding noise and not wanting peace and quiet. Just stayed the 1 night, was quite glad to get off. Can imagine it being very crampt in high season.
Just returned from a weekend at this site and really enjoyed it, despite it raining all day on Saturday! The site has excellent facilities and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Hope village is only a short walk away. Wasn't impressed with the Old Hall pub but the Woodroffe Arms is nice and the food was enjoyable and good value. For an excellent country pub and a nice pint of Black Sheep the Cheshire Cheese is only a 15 min walk - turn right onto Edale road by the Spar and keep on walking. The Spar has everything you'd need and the bread from the Bakery was nice.
The only criticism about the site is the way the tents are packed in. While you have enough space for table & chairs, your neighbours (next door and across the road) are quite close and it feels cramped.
As for noise, although there is a 'quiet' policy after 10.30 this isn't policed. We were kept awake on Friday night until 1 in the morning by a party of 4 families who had all their tents pushed together and had made a b-b-q / eating area in the middle (this also made the 'cramped' feeling worse). However, in all fairness, when we complained to the site manager the next day and he did have a word with them. The following night was quieter (probably helped out by the persisting rain).
With regard to traffic, yes you can hear it but it didn't disturb us.
Would use the site again but would probably avoid weekends and school holidays in the hope that the site wasn't full and the tents could be a bit more spaced out.
24 – 27 May 2008 Bank Holiday weekend (3 nights – 3 man tent)
• Location (to Dales): 9/10
• Location (to Hope and facilities): 10/10
• Showers/Toilets/Washing up facilities: 9/10 (heated shower room would be nice in unfavourable weather)
• Pitch size: 9/10
• Pitch spacing: 7/10
• Pitch views: 5/10
• Price: £46.50 for 3 nights: 2 people, 1 tent
• Overall: 8/10
Good, clean, well maintained site with excellent facilities and close access to drinking water points. Showers/Toilets are closed just before 12pm for about an hour for cleaning. The site was a little dusty due to the recent good, dry weather and unmade site roads in the western half of the park (where we were).
We were late booking (night before the bank holiday weekend) but they had space in pitch row Y (see pitches marked in yellow on the scanned site map image in photo’s section). The pitch was well maintained with a slight slope and easy to insert tent pegs.
Views from the tent were disappointing as we were surrounded by other tents - try and get in the separate area for the river views and extra distance from the main road (area to the top of the ‘K’ block) as shown in the bottom picture on the UKCampsite details.
The road noise becomes more apparent at night – particularly in a tent pitched anywhere other than R1 to R7 and the area mentioned above (but we weren’t bothered as we always take earplugs for a great nights sleep regardless). Again, try and book early and get a pitch away from the road.
The location to Hope and Castleton is superb though. Hope has all the immediate facilities you could want and I thoroughly recommend the Cheshire Cheese pub down Edale Road (an easy 10 min walk/stagger back to the site) which serves excellent food (make sure you book in advance as it’s v.Popular with locals and visitors alike) and real ales (Black Sheep, Swift Nick and DPA from Peak Ales were on tap when we were there).
If you fancy a change, Castleton’s a 1 mile walk along a footpath through fields from Hope village centre or a 2 mile walk along the main road.
Overall score: 8/10 (Points docked for road noise and relative pitch spacing). We preferred Lime Tree Park just outside Buxton overall (more remote/rural/pleasant surroundings despite more basic toilet block facilities and a bit further walk into Buxton town).
Just returned from this site and we found it very good, the hosts were very helpful, good shop with lots of local info, excellent toilet and shower blocks, good pot washing facilities as-well. Didn't hear any road noise as mentioned in other reviews but we were not directly backing up to the road. Good local services ,shops, pups etc and castleton has some good pubs too. The area is lovely and great to discover the peaks and surrounding attractions. One bad point they don't give you much space, really cram you in, but I can put up with that problem as the setting is excellent. Overall out of ten 8.5
A really lovely place to visit. The site owners were friendly & helpful, and our daugher loved the ducks.
The toilet/showers/washing-up areas were great, nice & clean & warm.
The village itself was great - a few pubs, a handy spar & what looked like nice butchers, deli & bakery. The chinese restaurant / take away came in handy with a few fellow campers too.
Unfortunately it rained during our visit & as we had our 15 month old in tow we were pretty limited in what we could do (no taking shelter in the pub all day!) but we hope to book another stay in summer when the weather's picked up.
