 Easy access for first timers.
We didn’t use the facilities but they looked well maintained and organised.
Friendly and helpful staff
Lovely wooded area and well spaced out between pitches
Would definitely use again if the need arose

Tried this site as it was only 40 minutes from home. Just fancied a night away with the kids. The site is very clean and amongst the woods you could be anywhere. The kids enjoyed the play area and there is plenty of space for playing.
Staff really friendly and helpful. You can walk into the woods which the kids had fun.
Didn't try showers as only stopped a night but again looked clean.
One thing you can do and lights fires in a firepit which at one point I had to move away from the playground. This though wouldn't stop me visiting again.
The only downside I won't follow my sat nav again as it sent me down a narrow lane. But I think the direction is stated on their website from the M1.

Lovely looking site. Pleasant greeting on arrival.
The facility block was clean at all times thanks to the young lady who was always busy cleaning throughout the day. I didn't think there was enough showers ( 3 in ladies) for the size of the site.
The pitches were very uneven.
Pitch prices very reasonable.
Checkout policy at 11am a little bit early I thought.
£1. 25 for a rowntrees fruit pastel lolly, a bit on the steep side.
Although no noise after 11 pm policy some still have to spoil it for others. I won't be coming back again.

We stayed here as a group of three families, on the lower field by the beautiful play area. The site itself is very sloped and the gravel paths slippy, but a lovely site with friendly helpful staff. As it was bank holiday weekend it was extremely busy and the toilet and shower areas could not cope. I understand they will be improving these over the winter ready for next year. The shower and toilet blocks were cleaned often, but the sheer volume of people trying to use 2 showers in each block caused problems. The kids enjoyed a walk through the woods next door, but we didn't venture to the local pubs ( apparently 5 mins away????) Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much within walking distance. We would visit again, but not on a bank holiday.

I don't normally write negative reviews, but we've just come back from camping for four nights at this site and I feel I should write one this time. The toilet and shower block was not being kept clean or well maintained at all! When we got there, in the Ladies block, the shower plug and interior fitting (all gunged-up and hair-logged) was lying on the shower tray. I reported this, but it wasn't put right until the next day (note the shower charge is £1) The toilets were all badly stained and the floors had paper strewn about which pretty much stayed where it was nearly all weekend. There was a bucket and mop, but the water and the bucket were filthy so you got the shower tray more dirty if you tried using it. A bottle of cleaning fluid was left beside the bucket, which I'm sure was a hazard that should have been locked away. The cleaning log stated that the last time they were cleaned before our arrival was nine days earlier! There was a strong smell of drains/sewage near the dishwashing are behind the toilet block so I was glad we weren't pitched beside it.
The bins were not only overflowing, they were surrounded by rubbish and it was a health hazard. If I can, I will post a photo of them as they were a disgrace and totally unbelievable.
The camping pitches are, to understate, not level, and the entrance to the camping field was only grass and was not substantial enough to stand the weather. So it became waterlogged and very muddy. There was a gap between the hedgerows and some pitches which was being used as another road in, which I feel is dangerous and should be stopped.
I understand that we need to have lights to get around the site, but the ones on the camping field were on the actual electric hookups and shone brightly into the tents - it was like daylight!

This is the most disgusting site we have ever stopped in the UK and Europe.
The Rubbish bins were overflowing, seen rats. Smelt dreadful.
Toilets appalling, unable to use showers, only 2 and they were not working.
SHAME on AA ratings giving this a 4star rating.

We just got back from the camp site. We went Friday till sun. Thank you sue & Stewart you work so hard and very friendly. The site dose need more showers and washing up facilities and a bigger freezer. In the showers what is needed it a glass screen, not shower curtain and a fold up bench so you can put your clothes on and the coin machine next to each shower and a little shop that sells milk bread etc. , so if people run out they will know you got a shop on site. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you rose & Keith and it was our first time camping :-) xx

Absolutely loved our stay.
Having initially made the error of booking Teversal campsite we arrived here at short notice and were welcomed whole heartedly.
This is a lovely site, in a quiet area near Alfreton, close to many major attraction and the Peak district.
The toilet block is fairly new, well equiped and maintained to a good standard. We saw the warden regularly cleaned the block throughout the day and was on hand to keep an eye on the smooth running of the site.
The free Wifi worked exceptionally well from our pitch and it was refreshing to not get charged extra for the service. Unfortunately thier generosity didn't extend to the showers.
We certainly plan to return to Riddings wood as it is a secure, well maintained campsite offering good value for money and potentially a great holiday.
