 What a lovely place ! The staff are fantastic - friendly and helpful. The place is pristine, spacious and a beautiful location. Hayfield is an interesting place and an easy mile and a bit walk down the valley. There's a good pub a few minutes away.

You can catch a bus into Buxton from here. This is an interesting journey over some beautiful hills and through mill towns. I can't add any more - except to say I can't wait to go back.

Reviewer: Alana5 3 reviews from this member

 This was my most recent of many visits to this site and as always I love it. I now have a caravan and can't stay here but may purchase a little tent just so I can come back.

Facilities are good, atmosphere great, nice and quiet in the evening, lovely, helpful staff, gorgeous setting and local area. Take rock pegs for your tent, you will need them, shop sells them if you forget. Loads to do in the area, Bakewell is very nice, Eyam (plague village) is a must in my opinion, cable car at Matlock is fab and you can take your dog on too. Lots and lots of walks straight from the campsite, the newsagents in Hayfield sells little books with 10 or so walks to do of various levels and length.

 This wonderful site is just over a half hour drive from home. This was our first visit and certainly won't be our last having booked again for this coming weekend. The site is very well kept, the facilities are lovely, clean and warm. The wardens were very welcoming and helpful.

The walk along the river into Hayfield village is very pleasant. We purchased a booklet of local walks, and completed three of them whilst on our short break. One of the reasons for our return is to complete all ten walks from the booklet although some of the instructions were a little confusing.

We have two dogs needing a lots of exercise and whilst the walks were very enjoyable for us, the dogs, I'm sure, would have preferred more off the lead opportunities, but as with much of the Peak district there are sheep everywhere! I love photography and the surrounding area is really beautiful, walkers, dog owners and nature lovers will love this site. Plenty of welcome visitors to the site, Rabbits, ducks and ducklings, wide variety of bird life, spotted a Heron on the river. Looking forward to our return visit.

Reviewer: Jan/phil+holly 25 reviews from this member

 Initially very helpful when we first made enquiry and booking, which was followed up by very friendly and efficient service on checking in. Had choice of pitches and chose No52 plenty big enough for our Invader 800+ canopy, not sloping but a little uneven but nothing to worry about.

A very relaxed site with very good showers/toilets and good under cover pot washing area. The local area is good for all levels of walkers, paid a visit to Hayfield, a short walk along a lane from site which has just been the main location for the BBC series The Village.

A 3. 5 mile drive takes you to New Mills, which has a Park under the Town, and this historic walkway is very nice and if, like us, have a dog that loves water, this is ideal as most of walk is along the river Goyt.

Reviewer: Ryder Cup Man 2 reviews from this member

 Firstly let me say that this is a beautiful site in a fantastic setting. The facilities are immaculate and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The village of Hayfield is enchanting and is where they film ‘The Village’. It is a short walk from the site.

Now for the down side. Being the Peak District the soil is a very thin covering over bedrock. We were in a tent. A number of tent pegs bent as we tried to knock them in. Others could only partially be banged in. Sixty mph winds funnelled down the valley and 2 of our 5 tent poles burst the day after we arrived. Went to Go Outdoors in Stockport and they were not at all helpful (Bristol store actually fitted replacement sections later) so we packed up and came home.

Would recommend that tent users think very seriously before visiting this site, which is a pity as it was so promising. Highly recommend it for Motorhome users (caravans aren’t allowed due to difficulty of access).

 We have just spent the weekend here and thoroughly enjoyed it!

The site is immacualte, a lot of effort is clearly put in to keep it tidy and well presented.

The shower/toilet again is spotless. Well lit, clean and everything worked.

The dish washing area was bright and clean.

The kids loved playing in the park, which looks brand new.

The shop, although small, stocks everything you could ever forget, and the owners keep it open until the last customer has arrived.

The couple that own the site are lovely people. They couldn't do enough for you, were cheerful and friendly.

My car battery got flat and the owner didn't hesitate in helping me and letting me use his jump leads.

Also, the surrounding area is fantastic.

Great site, we will definitely be back!

Reviewer: Bongoderek 6 reviews from this member

 I have stayed at this site 3 times this year, so obviously one I like and worth going back!

Lovely location and plenty of walks to choose from, particularly around the Kinder Scout area. Worth investing a few pence in the local walks book available from reception.

Campervans and tents only, because narrow access through village by caravans is not possible.

A Club site therefore well looked after and good facilities. Something they can't control is the weather and it has rained a lot every time I have stayed there!

Lovely fish & chip shop in village (a pleasant ½ mile walk away) with 10% off if you ask for a voucher from site reception.

Reviewer: Lancs Lass 8 reviews from this member

 A lovely, picturesque site not far from the village of Hayfield. The site is level and the pitches are a good size. The toilets are immaculate and the dishwash area very clean. The wardens were very friendly and helpful.

The small site shop has all the basics and newspapers can be ordered the day before.

A bit of noise from the road and the planes going overhead but nothing to worry about.

The nearby village has lots of pubs serving food, a local village store, a fruit and veg shop and a great chippy!

The path next to the site is a pleasant 15 minute walk into the village.

We really enjoyed the walks from this site and will be returning

Reviewer: Chriscable 38 reviews from this member

 Well it was bank holiday which of course means rain - lots of it and indeed heavy hailstone storm and thunder and lightening. Felt sorry for those in tents - many were flooded and had to pack up and leave. Site quite small but good facilities and only a mile out of town. Staff as usual in these club sites friendly and helpful. Some local pubs dog friendly and we were able to eat in bar areas with the dogs. Want to return to explore Kinder Scout and the reservoir but would never risk going in a tent.

Reviewer: ACEJByatt 1 review from this member

 Cannot speak highly enough of this camp site. We have visited twice within the past 7 weeks. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. The pitches are all a good size - you're not packed in as at other camp sites. Facilities are good and clean. There is a play area for the children and when our two (girl and boy) knew we were returning to the site they were really excited.

On our second visit we were unfortunate enough to experience the August bank holiday weekend weather but the staff were excellent. The drainage at this site is extremely good but unfortunately some pitches in the 'back packer' field did flood but the weather was atrocious!

We were offered a refund for our second night if we chose not to stay on site and were told it wouldn't be a problem leaving the tent and collecting the next day. Conditions in some parts of the 'back packer' field were so bad that the staff were actually turning people away.

Fortunately for us there was 'a pod' available so we decided to leave the tent where it was and re-located for our 2nd night. This is a lovely, quiet site and is in lovely surroundings.

Hayfield really is a lovely village (short walk along the river) and the people of Hayfield are all very friendly. There is definitely a sense of 'community spirit'. So, despite our second visit to Hayfield literally being a washout we will be returning to this site. Next time we visit we think we may book a pod as we do need to buy a new tent as we binned our 'old faithful' thanks to the British Summer!

Looking forward to booking again.

Reviewer: T+DScott 1 review from this member

 Our first trip out this year due to work commitments so a snatched weekend away at short notice. Couldn't have been happier.

A nicely secluded little site that, although a good size feels much more intimate and relaxed due to the clever layout.

The staff were very friendly and ever present guiding people around cleaning up emptying the bins. Shower and toilet blocks perfect

The grass pitches, although a little rocky in places for knocking in pegs, was very well levelled.

Beautiful surroundings and a lovely walk along the stream into the village (chippy was fab), couple of nice pubs too.

Will definitely visit again due to its location for walking (forecast was bad but wrong), that we didn't take advantage of.

Reviewer: Camperman69 11 reviews from this member

 We went over the Jubilee long weekend, which gave our break extra atmosphere! The site was geared up for celebrating and taking part in the C&CC 'Most people wearing a crown at once' Guinness record attemt (my husband dragged us up the lovely Lantern Pike to avoid that one!) the wardens very helpful and bunting everywhere.

The site is well kept and the facilities spotless, especially considering the wet, windy and muddy conditions. There was a happy relaxed atmosphere, despite the atrocious weather! Nearby river and woods make a beautiful peaceful backdrop, and there were rabbits scurrying around the pitches. Good for nature lovers.

Hayfield itself, about 1/4 hr walk away along the river, is a great base, attractive but with a good choice of pubs, a chippy, a couple of shops and we were made very welcome at their street party! Lantern Pike is a beautiful short walk, as the weather wasn't suitable for doing Kinder with kids.

Nearby Sportsman Inn very cosy, good beer, food not cheap but freshly cooked and well presented.

Will be back for sure!

 I'm not sure whether to rate this highly or not as too many people will want to go! But go you should! It's a perfect little haven of a site with upgraded facilities and a new reception area.

We chose our own motorhome pitch though tents will probably be guided by the lovely wardens who were so kind and helpful and very smiley! The local facilities ten minutes walk or a quick cycle down the lane are great.

There's four real ale pubs- all good- an especially good cup of coffee in the Royal. For cricket lovers, there's a super little pitch in a lovely setting so you can enjoy watching ( weather permitting)

There are some lovely walks- for the energetic and not so energetic. It's a nice walk/ cycle down the Sett valley trail across the road from the village starting by the bus station. You can walk up Lantern Pike or Kinder - maps and guides available at reception.

There's an information centre at the bus station, a little shop and a super chippy. For kids there's a lovely park down the lane.

Reviewer: Mrscairnnut 58 reviews from this member

 Not surprising that you can't bring caravans here! The village has many tight corners and narrow roads.

We had a friendly welcome upon arrival. We were able to select a pitch ourselves; we chose the side nearest the access road which runs parallel to the site and a babbling river.

The only traffic on the access road is in and out of the site so not that busy.

The facilities are good. The hardstanding areas are a good size. For walks in the area, ask at reception and they have a guide for sale.

There are so many places to walk to, including into the village which has a chip shop! We walked up to the local reservoir, worth the climb up the hill.

Lovely scenery wherever you look. The site also has some pods for hire which seemed good value at £35 a night for 4 people (there is nothing in the pods so you need to take everything with you, just as if you are camping).

This is a lovely site, very peaceful and we would definitely stay here again if we are in this area in the future.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Teamjeynes 5 reviews from this member

 We've been using this site for many years as it has always been the 'traditional style' campsite. A real campers campsite if you know what I mean. Well, it's changed. And not for the best in our opinion. Of the two fields, field one now resembles a Motorhome display park with one or two tents pitched in the middle making you feel as though your on display for the motorhome owners. The staff are still as brilliant as ever and the new shower block is superb. Had some minor teething problems with drainage but this was the first weekend of opening so it can be expected. The addition of 5 new camping pods has ruined the rural view we once enjoyed that also housed a good selection of wild birds along with the rabbits and hedgehogs. All gone now - pods look awful. I think we'll camp in field number two next time as there were a lot less motorhomes. Still a lovely, clean, well organised and friendly site but not as good as it used to be.
