Date of Visit: July 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: L7barfro 2 reviews from this member

 Just got back from a three night stay at this park. It is located in a lovely area with nice views on the way up the drive and also from the dog run. The hard standing pitches look a decent size but we felt very hemmed in with a seasonal pitch and awning on one side and a rather inconsiderate chap on the other. The showers are clean and tidy but the push button operation is very annoying. Wifi is available and I paid £7. 50 for a three day card. It's not the best of the tranquil parks that we have been to by any means and it is expensive for what you get. Would go back to the area but would probably stay elsewhere.

Reviewer: Badpianoplayer 13 reviews from this member

 Very well organised site in that all the pitches were hard standing with enough space for a car too. There are lots of rabbits running around which was quite entertaining. We made use of the putting green, which is not for professional golfers, but is highly entertaining none the less with the added bunny hazard. I only used the showers once and found they had plenty of hot water and the toilets were always clean. Good location for exploring the Peak District. It is quite pricey though at £24 per night.

Reviewer: Mistrom 14 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely site. Peace and tranquillity reign.

The Wardens were helpful and friendly. The facilities were clean and tidy.

The surrounding area was attractive and the views spectacular.

Longnor village was nearby with charming pubs and shops.

Ideally situated for visiting the Peak District. Leek and Buxton all in reasonable driving distances.

Discount available for tickets to Chatsworth House.

Would definitely return 


Date of Visit: May 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: BexSam2010 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of May. It was torrential rain when we setup the tent and the warden asked us to keep our car in the car park after we'd setup so as not to ruin the field, which is fair enough.

We needed an extension lead for our electric hookup and they were happy to lend us one.

The facilities were spotless. We found the showers to have sufficient pressure and a warm temperature. It was also very handy to have a microwave to use in the washing up area.

The site itself has very good views down the valley, it extremely quiet with lots of wildlife. A perfect place to switch off and relax.

Highly recommended. Would definitely return. 


Date of Visit: August 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Missteree 28 reviews from this member

 Very well maintained adult only site with good facilities and friendly helpful wardens. Great to get aerial extension for tv and reasonably priced broadband access especially given poor weather meant we spent a lot of evenings in caravan as opposed to outdoors.

Can't help at feeling a bit disappointed however. Toilets and showers were clean but showers were old bush button style, lasting only about 30 seconds between pushes!

Good sized cubicles but water was not particularly hot and obviously temperature could not be altered. Pressure not great either but again this was due to shower style I think. I personally think these let the site down as at £24 a night it is not the cheapest or best value site that I have stayed at.

Site is in nice rural location but not within walking distance of village pub/shop unless you are perhaps a more seasoned hill walker type. You definitely need a car to get out and about.

Reviewer: AndrewYCP 2 reviews from this member

 Found this site with no problems at all. Was recommended the site by friends and was not disappointed.

Wardens were very helpful and friendly. The site was quite and well lit. The facilities were very clean and of a good standard.

Adults only made the site quiet, which was a welcome break to the last site we stayed on (Hollands Wood).

Overall we would go back, as it was exactly what we were expecting/needed. 


Date of Visit: July 2012 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Kimc66 6 reviews from this member

 Peaceful friendly site. Our first time we are new to camping and motor homing. Quiet location never used facilities but believe thy were good and clean.

Free to use games badminton boules darts etc and able to lend DVD films.

Said it was 1 mile into town but I think that is as the crow flies walking I would say almost 2 miles but a nice if not a little hilly walk.

3 pubs, lovely chip shop and convenience store in longnor its handy to drive to Buxton, chatsworth house and surrounding areas

Would use this site again and recommend it to other adults only seeking peace and tranquillity

Reviewer: ChubClubCamper 2 reviews from this member

 Lovely Campsite.

We were met by the very friendly and informative owner, who showed us where everything was.

The tent field was nice and secluded, all plots were taken, but we were not on top of each other. It was a very friendly site.

The shower block/Toilets were very good, clean and tidy. 3 showers in the ladies, 2 of them you had to keep pushing the button for water, but the middle one was a 'proper' shower!

The owners reception has a little shop for those little emergencies, also selling meat/eggs/bread etc, .

There are 3/4 pubs in the local village, along with a village store, fish n chip shop.

Would definitely revisit this campsite again!

Reviewer: Acornis 28 reviews from this member

 Lovely clean, tidy, peaceful site. Good size plots The site warden was help full but never intrusive. Facilities were first class.

Would recommend you to take rock pegs for awning, some sites will actually lend them for small charge.

A couple of pubs in Longnor which serve food.

Close to parts of the Tissington trail.

The route to the site is marginally better from the direction of Leek as far as towing is concerned. 


Date of Visit: May 2012 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Stokerlady 12 reviews from this member

 We are new to 'motorhoming' so don't have much to compare this site with but on arrival we were given a very warm welcome and shown to our plot.

The plots seem quite spacious, the whole site was very clean, tidy and quiet. (A big bonus being adult only!)

When the office wasn't manned all you had to do was ring the bell and there was a member of staff there within seconds!

Very clean toilets with hand basin in each cubicle. Very clean showers with plenty of hot water, drying/dressing space with a seat.

Lots of birds, rabbits and squirrels around the site. Would definitely use again.

Reviewer: Jennyr50 8 reviews from this member

 Site is beautifully maintained with large, mostly flat, pitches. Good clean toilet block with plentiful supply of hot water. Covered washing up area most appreciated as the weather during our stay was awful! Paths and roadways well drained (thankfully!).

Good Coffee Shop in Craft Centre and excellent Fish and Chip Shop both in Longnor (village). Also small Grocery Shop in village which sells newspapers.

Close to historic Buxton and Leek for larger shops and restaurants.

Numerous opportunities, weather permitting, for walking in the Staffordshire Moorlands. 


Date of Visit: September 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Chelsea girl 56 reviews from this member

 Last minute booking at Longnor in our motorhome for one night.

Firstly, ignore your satnav when near the site. Your satnav will actually guide you about a mile past the site. Once past Longnor village follow the BROWN campsite signs!

Site very rural in a hilly location. Peaceful setting with wonderful views. £25. 00 for one night on a serviced pitch.

Site had nice ambiance (adults only) and fellow campers on site very friendly and approachable, had a nice feel to it.

Toilet block modern and great idea having lovely spacious toilet cubicles with a sink inside, much nicer than being cramped on the loo as you are on most sites!

Showers hot and ok. Minor gripe for me being of shorter height is that the majority of the water was going out past me and into the dressing area.

Dog walk lovely - not enclosed but huge space and nice of the owners to accommodate us dog owners with such a lovely space.

Would recommend for lovers of peace & tranquillity.

Reviewer: Dave + Sharon 2 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a relaxing week at this lovely site. Got a really warm welcome from the staff and were shown to our pitch on the camping field. Yes it is just a field but that's what camping is all about. Site not hard to find if you have a decent map and you will definitely need a map if you want a good view of the Peak District.

Weather was good all week until our last night when the wind and rain set in. The trees offered a small amount of protection but this site is on top of a hill and so is quite open to the elements.

Facilities are clean and modern and were never crowded. Small shop on site selling essentials.

Grass cutting here happens on a Monday. Amazing how so much of it gets into your tent !

This is as near to nature as it gets with a few frills for comfort (loo's, showers etc. )

Buzzards, Robins, Rabbits, seagulls ?? all to be seen outside your tent flap.

We got off the beaten track and used the smallest roads we could find to travel on.

Sleepy little villages with 2 houses, a farm and a pub and perhaps a church or chapel. You will need a good map for this kind of thing and you wont be disappointed at what you find.

All in all a lovely site in a lovely area. Will we go back ?

You bet we will !

Reviewer: Vwdubman 39 reviews from this member

 This site is in a nice location, quiet and with some lovely views of the surrounding area. However, we were a little disappointed that having visited a few other Tranquil Touring sites this one did not live up to our expectations

Our pitch was very small and we felt on top of the next door motorhome.

The facilities were very untidy due to the wet weather and the amount of grass cuttings that were being brought in by the campers in tents. The wardens/owners did their best to keep on top of it but were fighting a bit of a losing battle!

The owners/wardens were friendly and helpful in giving us information about the local area.

We visited the large second hand book store on the way out of Longnor which is a great place to browse if you are an avid reader.

Reviewer: Swanfold 3 reviews from this member

 We spent a week at this site in July in a tent. It is a fantastic site. The owners gave us a lovely welcome and showed us to our pitch. The pitch was very spacious, and we had hard standing next to the pitch for our car.

All facilities are very good. The shower / toilet block was always being cleaned by staff.

There is a lovely field to walk dogs in. Unfortunately we couldn't let our 2 dogs off the lead here as there were loads of rabbits about!

We love this site. It was our 6th visit and we'll be back next year.
