 The campsite is in a great location and easy to find.
When we arrived at the site we met with the owner who was very friendly and took our details etc and told us where everything was.
The site itself is in a lovely location and well looked after. The showers had plenty of hot water and only cost 20p. They are in the process of building a new toilet block but the current toilets were kept clean and were fine.
The tent plots were very generous so you have plenty of room to pitch even the biggest of tents.
The views are fantastic and you have lots of great places to visit with in a short drive or walk.
A short walk out of the campsite (which is set back from the main road so is very quiet) is a lovely pub which serves food and has a lovely beer garden.
I would recommend this camp site to any one and will definitely be going back.

We arrived at Bank Top and were warmly greeted by both the owners. They offered us a lovely pitch on our own so that our son could put up his pup tent next to our tourer. It was a lovely location and the views were stunning. The camp site is quiet and really nice and the showers were fantastic - loads of hot water for 20p.
We all enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely be back for a return visit. Ashbourne is a lovely market town - easy access to the Tissington trail. Thank you for a lovely time.

2nd visit to Bank Top. If a quiet picturesque camp site required (with limited but adequate facilities) then Bank Top is perfect.
Very accommodating hosts who are very up front about the camp sites shortcomings - ie limited hot water at peak times - being addressed and new shower and toilet block to be competed for 2012 season. Did not spoil our enjoyment of an idyllic working farm campsite.
Would recommend highly.
Bike hire at Tissington trail a must-good value and excellent quality bikes available for hire. Ashbourne has many good places to dine.

This was our 2nd visit to this site, although the last visit was just in a tent. We found the farmer and his wife very very helpful and really could not do enough for us.
We had 2 pitches, my wife and I then my brother and sister in law. We were pitched near the edge of the caravan field as we required electric hook-up. The views were truly amazing with some fabulous sunsets. The Owner is in the process of building an up to date shower and toilet block. They are also looking at opening up another field and running an electric supply to this for touring caravans and trailer tents/tents with electric.
Its a short walk down to Fenny Bentley and a slightly longer more challenging walk into Ashbourne which is a pleasant small market town. We walked to Ashbourne and got a taxi back for only £6, which is much easier than the hill.
There are lots of other scenic walks around the area with wonderful views all around.
I really can't recommend this site highly enough, which will be improved by the new shower and toilet block.

We viewed this campsite a couple of weeks ago as we had read the reviews and were a little concerned but decided to chance it due to location.
A very positive start to our weekend was the glorious sunshine and we had great company. Having two trailer tents requiring EHU we were pitched next to each other in the main caravan part of the site, the view was gorgeous and the other folks on the site very friendly as were the owners of the site.
There was four in our party and over the whole weekend only one had a problem with a 'cool shower' the site is very honest about this problem and notices are up asking you to stagger your showers. There are two showers for the ladies and two for the men and its 20p a shower. The showers and toilets are basis but were clean all the time we were there. We never queued for a shower but then the tent field wasn't busy so this maybe why.
On a positive note the new shower block is under way and will hopefully be ready for 2012.
This site is in a great location with a pub at the bottom of the road, there is no noise (well except for the cows!)and if relaxation is what you want I would recommend this site.
There is an indoor washing facility with pot washing area, iron etc, and yes its 20p but I'm willing to pay that especially on those rainy weekends.
We really enjoyed our stay so I would suggest you give this site a go and we will definitely be back hot shower or not!

A nice pretty site. But poor value for money. We paid £21 per night for a site that should only be charging £10 per night maximum.
The site was picturesque, clean and tidy.
The pitch itself was OK; very few stones so easy to peg out the tent.
The toilets were adequate and clean.
The shop was inadequate with a very limited stock and was only open for two hours a day.
The dish-washing area was basic and charged 20p for hot water.We used our own facility, so I can't really comment
As mentioned in earlier reviews: The showers were an absolute joke.
I can not recommend this site to anyone planning ahead, though it may be a useful site if you've nowhere else to pitch your tent on the day. There was plenty of room even on a busy bank-holiday.

A great site on a brilliant location, with good facilities, perfect for an over-night stop or a long weekend. A pub is located at the entrance to the site, which is decent and not very expensive. Not far at all from the tissington trail, with a bus service running right through the village which runs between Ashbourne and Buxton.
The chap who we spoke to was very helpful in navigating us back to the trail quickly, and had great tips for the local area - as we were hiking.

The farmer found a space for us even though we hadn't booked. It was sloping but near the toilets -useful with a four year old. The showers were a waste of time, freezing cold and low pressure- certainly not worth 20p. The best thing about this site is that it is close to Dovedale and Ilam- both worth a visit. Ashbourne was very pretty too with a good small market (Saturday). We were bemused to wake up to see several campers in kilts- apparently Ashbourne was hosting a highland gathering! Buxton was great too but very wet when we visited so we didn't explore much. We'll certainly be back to this area again.

Friendly welcome, toilets & showers a little tired but fine. Maybe could do with an extra yard between pitches but at least the ropes weren't crossing.
Good pub food just a leisurely stroll away. Fab view from the top of the site where we were. Apart from the guy opposite who managed to snore through the thunderstorm the site was peaceful and relaxed. Would go again.

Perfect location.
Good facilities - I easily showered on 20p with a shampoo and conditioner in one.
Marked out pitches - we were at the top of the field so very flat.
Plenty of toilets.
Dog friendly.
Tiny shop open for 2 hours a day for essentials but Ashbourne just down the road.
Enjoyed our stay - thank you. We would definitely invest in a map next time though so we could make the most of all the walk available.
Easy to get to Dove Dale, Tissington and the resevoir.
