Stayed at the site for six nights. The facilities were excellent with clean showers and shop and small bar on site.
Chlidren enjoyed playing in the play area and the atmosphere on site was very relaxing.
One drawback is the size of some of the pitches. They seem to mix caravans and tents and if you're pitched between two caravans, like us, it is cramped with no space for the car.
However, on the whole a recommended site.

The site is nicely laid out set in a quarry, good play ground,basic shop, nice pub but not enough seating. Nice clean toilet and shower block, although when we tried to have a wash in the morning we could only get a trickle of hot water. We also had a problem draining our waste water from the motor home tank, due to not being able to get close enough to the drain and also blocking the road while we did it!

Actually visited this site on the back of the reviews above and have to say I am glad we did because we had a great time.
Only drawbacks as far as I could see were that the shop was very pricey (£1.20 for a can of beans), 'The Prancing Pony' had weird opening times and as others have mentioned the parking area to each pitch had very rough terrain.
Highly recommended, we are heading back there next month.

The site was clean and tidy, and the showers and bar were great. The only problem we did have and this is why we would not visit again.... Was the drainage. We are not fair weather campers and have been in terrible rain storms. Here however sadly probably because it is an old quarry and their is no where for the water to go, we were in inches of rain in our awning.
Which has not happened before. We know of people who just got up packed away and came home.
This would not be an issue for caravans, motor homes etc or less you had awnings.
It is a beautiful site and such a shame, now when I go anywhere I ask can the water drain away if it pours....

Certain aspects spoil this potentially atrractive site. Despite previous comments our experience was that the showers/toilets were not too clean, with dirt from the pathways on the floor. Showers are only single temperature (one size fits all attitude) with inadequate drains when all are in use. Flexible hoses fixed to water taps encouraged the filling of water containers from hoses which had also been used to wash out chemical toilets; an obvious health hazard. For caravanners many of the pitches had bases made up of large grade stones. Hard on tyres and impossible to pitch awnings. Will go elsewhere next time.

Just returned from a 5 night break at rivendale in our trusty campervan.
It got very busy at the w/k end and with only one shower block and two washing-up sinks things soon got extremly cramped.(the hot water ran out by mid morning too)
Good location to explore the peak district although a little isolated,nearest pub 40mins walk away(not all day opening)
Reasonable size pitches well laid out but a bit bumpy and uneven
A reliable but infrequent bus service close by.
Friendly and helpful staff

A very clean and well maintained site, within easy reach of some beautiful countryside. A very clean shower and toilet block. This site comes with great recommendation from my boyfriend and i. We will be returning for another stay in the near future, well done Rivendale.

First time we have stayed at this site, it was excellent. The loos and showers were kept very clean the site was clean and tidy and was quiet although it was full.The paddock for walking your dag was lovely, the scenery and surroundings were stunning,the tissington trail was excellent for walking and cycling and very safe for dogs and children.The only fault we found was we had to wait over an hour for our meal in the bar and when it came it wasn't up to scratch.We are definately going there again but we shall try the Bluebell Inn.

Lovely quiet site, very well laid out.
The toilets spotless and the showers the best we have used, plenty of room and a good shower with masses of hot water.

The site has very clean amenities, however the warden was very unhelpful, and in my opinion was lacking basic training in customer services. Sadly would not use the site again due to this.

Lovely site in the middle of the Derbyshire Dales. You are located near a large number of attractions (including Alton Towers) and the Derbyshire Dales for all you incurable hikers. Located in an old quarry you are surrounded on three sides by fantasic cliffs. Fairly new site with hard standing for caravans and very nice level pitches for tents which have just enough camber to allow rainwater to drain.
Tiolets and showers are free. You pay a £5 refundable deposit for a key to the showers/toilets, which are kept in spanking condition. There is also a laundary and washing up facilities.
Small site shop has all the basics you would need and you are not far from Buxton for bigger shopping needs. Cafe and bar on site have basic meals all day till 9.00pm. They allow kids into part of the bar.
3 miles down the road towards Ashbourne is the Blue Bell Inn which does fantasic meals at reasonable prices (I recommend the Steak and Ale Pie!)
With a name like Rivendale what do you expect but all the sites are named after places in Lord of the Rings and the bar is called The Prancing Pony!
A throughly nice site I will be visiting again and I would heartily recommend.

Impressive friendly site set in an old quarry. Good facilities including cafe, shop and bar (separated from the camping area so noise is not a problem). Good clean toilet / shower block (free showers). There's also a play area in the middle of the site for the kids.
Situated just over the road from the Tissington Trail (cycle / walking trail), and 6 miles from Ashbourne.
Caters for tents, caravans, trailer tents and motorhomes.

Very clean site with friendly service. The site has a rugged beauty. Being carved out of a hill side it provides good shelter from the Derbyshire weather
