We have been to a couple of campsites around the Derbyshire area. We found this one to be very relaxed. The facilities were good. They had plenty of shower cubicles and toilets, both clean. We were very impressed with the wash area for your pots. The only problems that we had with the site is that where the area allocated for camping was quite a distance from shower/toilet block.
The site has a rule of no noise after 10.30, but they had no warden to enforce this. We found that it was noisy still after this time. We got woke up by people at 2.30 in the morning playing in the nearby stream. We found that there was little for the kids to do, they played in the stream and around the site. Which got a little annoying at times.
The shops and pubs are a 5 minute walk away. They have several pubs, a Spar ( which was expensive) a Post office and a grocery store.
Hi I I'm not sure of how many people actually read the reviews i know I do and like to know what other people think of the place I'm thinking of going to.
This is a lovely site upon arrival you are greeted with a friendly smile. And then given a brief description of where everything is and of the site rules. The shower block is cleaned daily and are of high standards . The general area is quiet and peaceful and there are lots of things to do.
I will be definitely be recommending this site to my friends and also to all you who is reading this. We will most certainly be going back to the site .
This site is every thing you want if you are going away for a quiet break, perfect for myself husband and two year old. We enjoyed our stay that much we left our caravan there for a small fee so we could go back the following weekend, the chap who runs the place even let us leave the awning up so we can just go straight back without the worries of setting up again. the showers and toilet blocks are the cleanest ive seen yet. The showers are free too, there is a small fee of 20p for the hairdryer.there is a new large spacious washing up area that is also well kept. the staff and locals who are there are most of the season are very friendly and happy to help new arrivals with pitching tents and awnings, the shop sells milk, instant bbqs, news papers , water, pop, sweets, crisps and tent pegs. I would reccomend this site to all.
This is the nicest site we know in The peak District - and we've tried all the major ones. Facilities excellent and though maybe not quite up the to very best we've encountered (Losehill, the Caravan Club Site in Castleton) it's a lot cheaper than Losehill and much better located.
Pro's: very friendly staff, spotless loos and the best (power) showers we've seen on any park. And NO COIN METERS - hate them.
Contras. - They have only 10 showers and at busy weekends you sometimes have to wait, though only a few minutes. There is a road nearby - but if you ask for a pitch away from this you won't be troubled. Also, as mentioned, some of the washing-up sinks have a low headroom. When we complained about this the wardens said that the top two sinks - work surface and shelter above - were set low for disabled and children and - right enough - the headroom on the other six sinks is fine. How about a sign ???
What keeps us coming back is the location. - It's a a very pretty site with fantastic views and only 5 mins walk to Hope Village. Recommend (a) The Poacher's Arms for food and (b) a 15th Century Inn, The Cheshire Cheese, Edale Road, Hope for atmosphere and real ale - See The CAMRA guide to the best pubs in Derbyshire.
Funnily enough - for a small village - there's also an ace Chinese takeaway
We give Laneside 9 out of 10 - and 10 if they would only put up a sign over the washing up sinks.
Just back from a very wet weekend at laneside. This is a nice site in a very pretty part of the peak district, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the amenities are very good and were clean all the time we were there (which is pretty amazing because of the weather).
The river running through the site is like a magnet to the kids, and they were playing in and around it even in the pouring rain. There is also a playing field on the other side of the river for the kids, but not a playground (which would be ideal for the younger kids).
Hope village (around 3-4 minute walk) is a lovely little place with pubs and a Chinese restaurant/takeaway. It also has a spar late shop for those essentials. One note of caution. Do bring some food etc with you, because the spar is expensive, and the nearest supermarkets are in Bake well or Chapel en la frith (spelling??).
The site is next to the road, but the traffic noise wasn't really noticeable, and like most sites in the peaks the Manchester flight path is overhead, but again, the noise isn't noticeable.
All in all a very nice site, which I would go back to again.
We went here mid June and the site was virtually full as well - and this was despite the weekend forecast for very heavy rain so would advise booking if you want to make sure of a pitch.
We had reserved two pitches - one for us and one for a friend and they had kept them free for us. The pitches are very small in my opinion and you are backed up to a wall with a road in front of you and the image of sardines in a tin kept coming to mind.
At the Reception the people were lovely - really friendly and helpful and they sell a few basic essentials like chocolate.
The toilet block was clean and hubby was especially delighted that the mens showers were seperate from the mens toilets as he hates using the mens toilets in the morning for a shower - I will leave the reasons why to your imagination!
Across a small stream was a playfield with goalposts for the kids and there was a tyre hanging across said stream which I and the kids swung happily on for some time.
The site is in a great location and there are several pubs within five minutes walk in the lovely village of Hope. There is a really nice fruit and veg shop, a deli and a co-op general stores in the village.
And of course the beauty of the Peak District is on your doorstep. We had a few problems with noisy neighbours late at night but this was soon dealt with. Don't think we'd go here again because of smallness of pitches and general uniformity of the site - I go away to look at lovely views not rows of caravans. But a very nice site for a base if you are going to be out and about a lot.
We arrived May bank holiday and the site was virtually full, not the most roomy of pitches in places but ours was very generous. Bit of building work going on to make some boules courts but no real issue.
Reception, small efficient selling a few basic essentials.
Toilet block clean and despite site being full no problems here (didn't use showers as have own in van)
Despite the site being full it was actually quite quiet.
Field with goalposts for kids, also field to ride bikes. Small river runs along part of the site which some children were playing in and makes a pleasant if short walk (depending upon the wind see later)
Excellent location, several pubs within five minutes walk. Fruit veg, general stores etc in the village. We visited various caverns which are only 5-10 minutes drive away.
Laneside what a great place to go, excellent clean facilities, loo's, showers, chemical disposal, pot wash. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, we were told to 'stay as long as we liked' on our leaving day, the grounds and pitches are spotless, even and plenty big enough. We had no problems what-so ever with the traffic noise. The scenery and wildlife are A1 with fantastic walks. Hope, although not very big had everything you may need, post office,spar,bakery and pubs! We are a family of four with children ages 15 and 10 and would definitely recommend Laneside to all, we really enjoyed it and are going to go back again, but for longer next time, big big thumbs up from us!
Had a very enjoyable two nights here on what was my first solo camping trip. Staff were very helpful and showed me a lovely shelf next to the river away from the main tent pitches that I could pitch my tent on.
I had no problems with car noise but I was a long way from the road. Some of the other tent pitches looked to be more like mud ponds than grass, but that's probably to be expected after a summer of use. But all the pitches I saw seemed flat and spacious enough, and the price was reasonable considering how good the shower and sink facilities were (first campsite I've been to where there are hairdryers in the shower room).
Hope and Castleton are both within walking distance, and are interesting villages, I had a nice afternoon at the castle in Castleton, but mostly I was there for the walking, which was superb in every direction I walked, and Laneside was a great base.
A very good campsite with very good facilities. Handy for climbers and walkers. No shop on site but it isn't needed as Hope village is only a very short walk and there is everything you would need. I would recommend pre-booking as it can be busy. Their are pubs nearby which serve good food.
The staff are very helpful and will allow quite a lot of latitude on when you actually leave the site.
There is some road noise but it never kept me awake and I've stayed there several times, likewise for the trains running nearby. Be aware though that there is a very bright light that is switched on during the night in the middle of the camp site and this has on occasion not aided going to sleep if I've been pitched in the wrong place or facing the wrong direction.
This site has it all, apart from a mini-bar. But don't worry there are three pubs nearby! The facilities on this site are great, plenty of hot water, there could be more showers though gets pretty busy at peak times. What this site lacks you can find in the village close by. Hard or soft pitches are there if you can request a pitch away from the main road because of the early morning traffic you might be better off, overall this site is good with nice views of all the hills.
We have just come back from a lovely weekend at this site.
Positives are: No Club house (i.e. Its quiet), The staff were very helpful and friendly, Enough space for the caravan, an awning and the car on one pitch side by side without feeling too cramped. Very clean toilet and shower area. Attracted a friendly bunch of campers around us. Lovely walks along the river which runs beside the camp site. Electic hookups available for all.
Negatives are: There is road noise as on a main road but only really affects those caravans that back onto the road. I only heard nearby trains up till early evening so no problem with being kept awake.
Overall, this is a popular site I would return to again and I would certainly recommend.
Have just returned from a four night stay over the bank holiday weekend, this site although well maintained and clean just wasn't for us. The site was full and felt rather crammed, the pitch sizes are not the most generous that we have come across with little space between units. We have a small campervan with awning, when returning from a day out we only just had enough space to park our camper back against our awning as the caravan next to us needed the space for their car, leaving approx 3 feet between their car & our camper. The site was quite muddy due to the awful weather, our awning was splattered with mud each time a car passed us and I think they must have a problem with people getting stuck, but the owners do offer a free towing service. The facilities are well attended and clean. The showers are separate from the toilet block and basins, which seemed a bit strange. Showers are of a good size but only 4 cubicles so very busy at peak times. The toilet and basin area is a bit cramped and to be honest a bit smelly at times as no open windows or visible vents!. The washing up area again is very clean and under cover but the sink level is a bit low so get the kid's to do the washing up if you don't want to get back ache!. For us the biggest down side of this camp was the fact it is situated on the main road, which was very noisy, the area however is beautiful and excellent for walkers and being close to hope village is a bonus. The biggest down side for our kid's was the lack of play space around the pitch and no play area, only a rope swing hung from a tree over the river and a green area with football goals (which you had to cross the river to get to). The owners state river as being safe, but I wouldn't let my kid's (age 9 & 7) there unattended as they could not be seen from our pitch and I do not consider water safe regardless of the depth. To be honest the site was adequate for us as we spent most of our time away from camp only returning late in the day, I wouldn't recommend it for more than a few days stay. If they increased the pitch sizes by reducing the number of units they try to squeeze in, this would make for a better site, but as for the traffic noise - take earplugs if your a light sleeper!
First venture out as campers and the experience was made all the more easy because of the friendly service at the site. Shown to our pitch, given map of site and village,showing location of all services. The site was clean, well kept and secure, CCTV cameras and barriers at entrance and exit. Police car drove through site in wee small hours most nights (don't think looking for hooligans as not any to be found!) One way system around site, which was good in my estimation, no problems that way with coming nose to nose with another car on narrow site road! Large well kept playing field for the kids with easy access over stepping stones across river or quick walk over bridge. Toilets, showers all immaculate, kept clean at all times. Must agree with other people that the wash up sinks were a bit low, OK if you are five foot nothing but hey, not really a big problem. Site situated in beautiful countryside, easy distance to all the caverns. The bluejon cavern is the least advertised and tucked away on hillside, do look for it, Castleton is the only place in the world where this semi precious stone is found, go off the beaten track and find this little gem of a cavern, it costs a damn sight less to get in compared to the other larger more touristy caverns too! (and no queues!) The trip into this cavern needs some degree of fitness as there are just under 200 steps to climb down,fairly easy down but not so good on the way back up, narrow, dark and incredably muddy and slippy, don't even attmept it in flip flops and don't wear your best clothes, espcially if they are dry clean only. Try to make the effort to climb Mam Tor, the big hill just outside Castleton! The views of Hope Valley are worth the effort. But be warned, stick to well used tracks if going walking in the Dales, seeing my 13 yr old daughter fall face first in mud was funny for everyone else but she didn't find it amusing at all! If you are visiting at the end May (May bank hol weekend) make sure you attend the Castleton Garland Festival. Only place in the country where this takes place. We had the best day of our hols taking part in the festival, buy and wear your oak leaves, you WILL be nettle birched if you don't! You get to stop off at every pub in the village, dance your way through the day, be enthralled by the May Day Dancing Girls and follow the silver band playing the floral dance as they parade with the 'King' of May followed by his escort riding side saddle on massive shire horses. The King wears the flower garland, it completely covers him to the knees (hope he does not suffer from hay fever) The day is brought to a close with May pole dancing, the garland hoisted on top of the church and a very moving ceremony to remember those lost in war from the Village. We were out from 10 am and got back to our tent at 10pm! Do make an effort to join in, it's worth it and you will be humming the floral dance for days! Only down side to our first experience of camping was the noise from the road which runs parallel to the site, lorries from the cement works couple of miles away start driving past from about 5am. Train track runs close by too, and quite a few times boy racers still hammering down the road at 11pm. Other lovely folks thought it a good idea to drive past presumably on way to work in morns about 7am and 'lean' on the horn of their car as they went past! The camp site is clearly visible from the road so easy target for horn honkers! That was the only downside to our stay, we would go back again and have recommended this site to others already.
Excellent! Friendly welcome. We had a decent size pitch. We weren't right next to the road but didn't hear it from where we were. Facilities were excellent and most importantly clean and pleasant to use. We had to queue for showers one morning but not to long, just had to be patient. Lovely setting with the river running around it.
Hope itself - Pubs easily accessible - for food the Cheshire Cheese Inn is top notch, is a slight walk but worth it. The old hall is good for drinking and has a pool table.
The Spar is well stocked and the Deli is excellent for fresh sandwiches, pies,pasties, salads and cheese etc.
There are some lovely walks around hope, can be some steep walking but also some more easier ones. Scenery lovely (minus the quarry!)
Castleton is up the road where there are more pubs, and shops. The caverns are well worth a visit to.
Places such as Chatsworth House are also only a 15 minute drive away.
Would definitely stay at Laneside again.
