 This is a lovely campsite in a lovely area.
There are no showers but the toilet block and porta loos (in the field) are cleaned regularly and I have to give extra credit to the good quality toilet roll, let’s face it some campsites scrimp on quality.
A group of us spent the bank holiday at this location and the surroundings are beautiful even if it was a tad too busy in areas at times (it was a bank holiday after all)
The cafe near by is lovely along with the ice cream van parked by the entrance to the walk up to Thors Cave.
There was no signal for anyone in our group apart from me so if you need your phones all the time this might not be the site for you.
Carole the site owner is lovely along with her Sister who attends on a weekend to help out.
All in all we had a lovely stay and even though there are no showers me my partner plan to head back to stay once more but not on a bank holiday lol.

Sheltered spot, lots of space,
Kids loved the river and rope swings, and we have already decided we'll go back another time!
Basic facilities but it's all you need for a few days camping.
Tea room down the road was fab for lunches, we went every day.

Lovely relaxed site, basic facilities but the toilets are clean and well sited.
Perfect for exploring Thor's cave or the other sites in the area.
Lovely steam running alongside the campsite, perfect for paddling.
Very nice cafe nearby.

Love this campsite, it has the most beautiful river running along side and some lovely walking routes leading to some amazing views.
The campsite owner is lovely and nothing is too much trouble.
There is a beautiful little cafe that does some gorgeous cakes too.
It is a fabulous little get away.

We had a lovely stay here, really relaxed and welcoming. There were lots of baby chicks from the ducks which was adorable.
A perfect spot to walk to thors cave. A lovely little cafe by the campsite is a perk too. A perfect spot.
The drive there was a bit tricky with narrow roads etc, not a complaint just and observation.
Great cheap price. Basic facilities but we stayed one night, if you stayed longer you might miss not having a shower!

Lovely site toilets very clean and amazing views to top it all.
Not really much to say the campsite is beside the lake perfect for the walk the Thors cave! If you have time climb the opposite side, it's a really steep climb but worth it for the views.
We only stayed for one night but will be going back before end of August to visit again.

What a beautiful site! Set next to the Manifold river, you fall asleep to the gentle babble of the river. The scenery is outstanding, with lots of walks close by, and a short bimble to Thor’s Cave.
Facilities are adequate, and shops are not too far away. The cost of your stay will please every pocket. Your hosts are lovely too, very welcoming and friendly.
Ideal for a digital detox as there is limited access to phone signals.

We had a lovely stay here, it has toilets and drinking water which was all we needed for the night.
Perfect location with the river to play in and there were so many ducklings wandering around which was very exciting.
Perfect distance to walk to thors cave.
The cafe around the corner is a brilliant bonus too.
Great price for the night too.

My second stay here - it is SUPERB - - basic - just water, clean loos and a washing up sink - and space. And all for a very reasonable price - esp as they charge per person so suits me as a 'solo traveller'. Very helpful owners.
The place is large enough for booking not to be necessary much of the time but I guess summer weekends and BH it can get crowded. Superb walks and bike rides straight out of the site - you don't need to use the car for several days! And Milldale/Wolfscote dale and Biggin Dale are in easy reach.
They don't have any child facilities - just space to play and roam. There is a good phone signal now. In busy times I suggest you bring your own loo!

Lovely spot down by the river. Very quiet. Basic facilities but perfectly sufficient and nice and clean.
Second time here, didn't dissappoint. Much nicer than the over packed commercial campistes.
Be aware, I got no wifi reception. Which is actually really nice. Just ensure you download any maps etc before you arrive :)
Oh and the Wetton Mill tea rooms are great for a coffee top up or a slab of cake after a walk.

We had a group trip here with 7 other families in early September. You could not ask for a more perfect site.
Really helpful owners, beautiful views, river for the kids to splash in and on the manifold trail.
Basic, clean toilet block. Great price.
We have a small caravan but I was advised not to bring that due to the road in and small bridge.
Good advice! But for tents and camper and, perfect!

Great campsite right next to the river. 2 large fields on the site, the first was a little more lively then the other but the second was really lovely, quite and remote almost.
We came from Sheffield just for the night to walk up to thors cave. From the campsite you're there within 30 minutes with stunning views of the valley.
If you're hungry as well there's also a little safe with cakes and drinks on site as well. As a treat we decided to get 3 ice creams and 3 of the homemade cakes which late at night in the tent goes down a treat.
10/10 would go again.
