 On arrival we had to go and find the staff to book us in. After about 10 mins they appeared. I had booked 3 pitches but one pitch was no longer needed as he they had to cancel re work commitments, the lady in the office wouldn't refund any of the funds or let us have electric hook up instead. We asked to go down to the bottom of the field which is on a slope but ok at the bottom. Plenty of space no set pitch markings. We were told they had a quiet time of 11. 30 which is fine and I agree with. But they should have a quiet time in he morning too as parents were letting their children make so much noise at 6 30 am which was ridiculous. There is only one shower block and in the mens 2 showers at a cost of a pound for 10 mins. The showers weren't good at all going really hot and then freezing which isn't good especially having to pay for them. Wouldn't be ideal if you had to shower young children. Nothing to do around the site as we ended up driving to matlock and walk to the nearest pub in the village 1. 4 miles away. No food in red lion either so had to get a Chinese takeaway. Overall we had a good time but would only rate the site 6 out of 10 due to the facilities and surroundings.

Just got back from a weekend at Riddings wood, beautiful site with wonderful views and surrounding woodlands to walk the dogs.
The local village is only a 10 minute walk for all your groceries
The site has a new toilet and shower block which was clean and spacious, but has a few teething problems with loose taps but I'm sure they will sort this.
It is a dog friendly site but they like you to walk your dogs off site, and we were asked not to walk them on the bottom field which we thought odd but we did notice some people didn't clean up after their dogs which is what spoils it for all the rest.
The wardens on site are extremely pleasant and helpful.
As mentioned in other posts the bins do fill up quickly when the site is busy, Apart from that the site is well worth a visit for a relaxing few day in the Derbyshire country side.

I'm not normally one to complain but on this occasion I feel its well justified.
Came with sister and other half; them in a caravan us in a motorhome.
On arrival the site looked like a building site. I appreciate they are doing a lot of work on the site but in my opinion the site should not have been open. Apart from the muddy conditions which obviously was taken into your vehicle, we both had problems with the electric going off, the site was not well lit and there were holes that could be a potential hazard when walking in the dark. The facilities were not cleaned all weekend. The reception was not manned, and people were arriving and couldn't get on to the site because it is barrier operated, which makes the site safe and very secure but impossible to get in if you haven't got the barrier code.
Good points: Although the facilities were not cleaned they are of a high standard although not well thought out, 7 toilets to 2 showers in ladies. The showers are lovely and warm and the facilities block was lovely and warm too. There is an indoor pot washing area, freezer, washing machine. We walked around the local area and also walked through the woods.
All this said we may return in the future to see the site finished as it has the potential of being a very nice site, just a shame they opened it whilst in the middle of all this work. Other people we spoke to also thought the same.

We have just stayed at this lovely rural campsite.
We arrived on Bank holiday friday and were given a couple of pitches to choose from, we chose one at the top of the site for the views.
The toilet block is brand new (as is the site - 3 months old) so its lovely, there is a hairdryer, two showers and 8 toilets in the ladies - It did cause a bit of a problem not having enough showers at bank holiday time but I think in the week its fine. The campsite are aware they will need to do something about that for the future. The toilet facilities are SPOTLESS, well done to the two ladies that run the site! I think for next year they are planning a little basics shop so that will be handy.
You will need to stock up on food at the local Nisa supermarket or the Local Co-op which are a five minute drive away or if you want aldi or tesco, they are located in Alfreton. There aren't any shops really within walking distance of the site.
Riddings is a very quiet village with two pubs in the same street, sadly none of them do meals. You will need to venture further to find food pubs.
Wifi connection was good, atmosphere on site was lovely and there was a little bouncy castle set up for the kids (the play park seems unfinished).
We wanted a quiet break as it was the first without out Teenagers and that is exactly what we got; we visited Chatsworth House and Matlock Bath whilst in the area. East midlands Designer outlet is about a 10 minute drive too.
Would definitely go back again!

First camping outing for the family after trying to get my wife to go for years. Thought it was all over after setting up on Friday night in the pouring rain but thankfully Saturday and Sundays weather was glorious. The site is great and the staff were really helpful. Bar & BBQ laid on for Saturday night. We hung around the tent listening to the tunes it was great even though there were a few technical difficulties it didn't matter it was still a great night. The site was pretty busy but I didn't have to wait for the washing up sink, toilets or the showers and everything was spotless. There are a lot of sites out there who could learn from this. There were a few idiots on the Saturday night who hadn't got the outdoor mentality and tried to make trouble for the owners but they were dealt with very quickly and professionally. (well done)
Can't wait to come back to this site it will be very hard to beat.

Overall a good site. Lovely friendly owners. Shower/toilet/potwashing block is lovely, however there was one toilet door that wouldn't lock in the ladies (hubby said there was one in the gents too). When the site is full there wasn't enough hot water. Bins did fill up very quickly and when we arrived they were overflowing and bags of rubbish just dumped on the floor. This was cleared away the next day.
The only things I think that let the site down is that there are a very limited number of flat tent pitches with ehu. It would have been much better for the site to have been tiered off. Also in one way being allowed to pitch where you like is great but because pitches aren't marked out it doesn't stop someone pitching their tent far too close to another tent and causing a fire risk.

Stayed for the weekend. Lovely site, recently taken over by new owners, who tried so hard to do everything they could to help us.
We walked to the local pub (10 minute walk). Called The Moulders Arms (known locally as The Thack). A traditional pub with good cider. Very friendly. The following day we drove to Shipley Park (20 min drive) for a walk, then called at the retail park on the way home (Aldi, Argos, Brantano, Poundstretcher etc - everything you need really!).
On the Saturday evening, the site hosted a BBQ and karaoke evening. This was welcome because it gave us the chance to chat to other campers. There were a few power problems during the music (apparently because they are waiting for their permanent electric supply to be completed, which is due any day soon), but most people took this in their stride and we're happy to just chat and mingle.
Excellent toilet and shower facilities. Easy access but do follow their instructions.
Chilled out site, chilled out owners. We will visit again.

Stayed here for three nights as a disabled person in a caravan
Lovely views of derbyshire to start. New owners this year, great people nothing too much for them to help or sort out. A bit hilly for me being unable to walk too far. But nice site. Very clean tidy disabled shower room great stuff. Shops not too far co-op everywhere 2 mins in car.
Very nice site try it !

My partner and I camped at the campsite for one night. It's a lovely site with very nice facilities. The staff were very friendly and could be seen walking around the site checking on things and making sure everyone was happy. Had a nice walk through the woods and enjoyed sitting out in the local pub.
Overall the site had a great atmosphere, plenty of room and was very friendly. Most recommended :)

Let's be clear, having stayed for nearly a week, this is NOT a 10 out of 10 site.
Firstly it is on a steep hill and whilst a lot of the hardstanding pitches are fairly flat, the camping pitches are pretty much all on an angle and we had to buy £30 levellers to stop our trailer tent rolling down the hill.
Secondly, whilst it is peaceful in the week, Saturday night is party night and the 'No loud music' rule is flouted across the whole site, meaning we had to put up with very bad pop music for four hours coming from multiple pitches. Our Saturday night was a write off. Also Smooth Radio is playing in the toilets 24/7 which is massively annoying if you are not a fan of dire, middle of the road 80s dirge.
If they could enforce a few of their own rules a bit better and turn the radio off in the toilet, it would be improved greatly.
