 Stayed here for two nights and have just returned home. The good points first - the site is located very close to Ashbourne which is a very pretty town with an excellent chippy located on the market square !
It is well signposted from the main road and access is taken via an attractive tree line avenue in the middle of open countryside. We used the site as a base to visit Alton Towers which is about 15/20 mins. Drive away and easily found.
The site itself is not too large but well laid out, being split into an area containing modern static vans and permanent tourers, semi-permanent tourers, tourers and dedicated tent field. The camp centre, containing various bars / cafes / children's arcade and playgrounds lies at the centre of the site in a cluster of buildings.
Despite the other reviews found here I thought that overall the site was nicely landscaped and well maintained to be honest and we would definitely camp there again. A card access barrier provides security to the site.
Yes the tent field toilets were located in a temporary building but they were clean and handy. It was quietish when we were there so we never had to queue but I bet it is a pain in high summer. Our only issue was cold water for washing up after 10am.
To be fair we tended to use the recently refurbished toilet block for showers and proper clean ups which is based at the camp centre, was much nicer and not too far away (100yds max).
Our plot (one of a few electric hook up pitches) was spacious (about 9m x 9m square) and plots are open but marked.
The pitch was clean and tidy and the grass was kept short. The staff were all very very friendly and there was always a duty warden checking up on things (with a hi-viz jacket and a smile).
The pitch (with electric) was reasonably priced for the facilities on offer (save for the tent field toilets which I hope are temporary pending construction of permanent facilities).
Would we recommend the site ? definitely yes yes yes.

Arrived at this site on the Sat of Aug Bank Hol Weekend.Staff brilliant, friendly and helpful. Was nervous when told we were on the 'overflow field' and to pitch anywhere and when we arrived we had to pitch in middle with lots of other tents as all the edges were taken up. Despite this everyone had pitched with sensible gaps so didn't feel too bad. Also kept the ballgames down!
We stayed on til Tuesday and by then was only ourselves and one other tent left for the Monday night and it was beautiful.
Site is walking distance to Ashbourne but only 10 mins in a car.
The site has lots of statics and there were events on the whole time like treasure hunt, school sports day (for adults and kids)which involved the campers and the static owners and there was no 'clickiness' as you sometimes find.
Highlight was the St Trinians School Disco on Sunday night in the function room. In excess of 50 grown ups dressed in school uniform was hysterical and again everyone was friendly and chatty. Even the staff were dressed up and it was hard to look at them the next day without their wigs and skirts without laughing.
There is a nice playground and indoor games room for kids and a small pub as well as the function room. Also a cafe only doing breakfasts and shop inside reception which was very basic.
Plus points. Very friendly staff and residents, events to keep kids and adults occupied however no pressure to join in if you just want to chill, Main shower block lovely and clean. Function room beer prices very reasonable, very clean all over, pitches good size, noise policy in place on fields but noise allowed til very late at function room which couldn't be heard from the fields. Best of both worlds!
Didnt encounter queues at toilets, showers or washing up areas as other visitors have mentioned and we were there for Bank Holiday, also no problems with hot water encountered.
Lots of bins and recycling bins and never saw them overflowing.
Minus points. Additional toilet block for camping field very tatty and old (but not really dirty and main block only 3 mins further to walk). Shop, pub and cafe not open enough and closed at odd times. Shop bit too basic.
Suggestions. Make more of catering opportunities by opening cafe at other times. Have bigger shop. Keep the events up and keep doing everything else the same. Obviously have the pub open each evening if possible.
We are family with 14yrs and 7yrs old children and would DEFINATELY go back just for the entertainment !

Overall a nice site with very friendly staff, but I felt it was a little over priced and maybe not maintained as well as it could have been.
Pitches are a good size and the facilities on site are also good. However there are not many toilets and there were nearly always queues in the morning. Also the toilet paper would regularly run out so we actually got to the stage where we would take our own!
Site owners just need to keep on top of things a little better and this could be a lovely place to stay.
Lots for kids to do so ideal for families.
Food served on site is very good.

Stayed for 2 dry nights. Greeted in our car at the gate and shown to our pitch! Swipe card access to site. Good base for Peaks.
Shuttle bus between campsite and Ashbourne. Play area great and is outside the pub (and they even had a bouncy castle on hire!) Didn't use pub/cafe but looked fine. There is a shop but it does have a limited stock/range and doesn't open til 9:00, so be prepared!
Flat pitches. No generator in tent field on our stay, so ring and ask in advance if concerned (I did!). As previously mentioned, tent field facilities limited (in gents.2 toilets, 2 sinks, no shower) and 2 pot wash sinks, drinking water point. About 100yrds to main block with showers which were good on my visit and drained fine. Tent field was very busy but still quiet after 10:00pm.

Not a site I will be visiting again I’m afraid. They market themselves as a premium site, which if you are in a tourer it is. However considering they have a very large tent field the facilities are appalling.
On the web site they boast about a “new modernised heated shower block”, what they don’t mention is that it is almost a car drive away from the tents on the opposite side of the rather large site. The toilet block on the tent field is a very tired port-a-cabin without showers, my four year old daughter took one look at the Gents and refused to go in.
Everyone in our group agreed that £23 a night is very expensive for a site with such shocking facilities.
One other thing to note, if you use a gazebo, day tent, pup tent or other add on to your tent. They have a warden who seems to spend all his time patrolling and making you take it down. We went during a rainy weekend and he was making families with small tents sit in the rain rather than letting them put up some shelter. I was glad we had a big tent.

The staff here were friendly and helpful and the tent field was flat and in good condition. The children's play area was great and the on-site bar was pretty good. Entertainment provided on Saturday was great for the children.
Negatives have been mentioned by previous reviewers:
Washing up water always cold, toilet facilities for tent field insufficient and the generator supplying electric to the tent field went off at night, giving un concerns on the efficiency of our fridge!
We walked into Ashbourne via a footpath which took about 30 minutes, but it is not possible to cycle anywhere directly from the site.
Overall though, a good site and we will almost certainly return.

The plot was OK and the ground was flat but we were very close to our neighbours and also has the dulcet sounds of a generator to sing us to sleep. Biggest problem though were the toilet facilities which were inadequate for the number of people they were meant to be catering for. The 'extra' facilities were substandard and poorly maintained and simply were not big enough with only 2 toilets and sinks. The main facilities were a long walk away and whilst better were still limited and poorly designed. For a campsite of this site only 4 showers (for the men) simply isn’t enough and there were so poorly designed that the water remains from the previous persons shower and doesn't drain. Washing up was also a problem as there were only two sinks with limited hot water resulting in long queues and unsatisfactory dishwashing. There was also nowhere to wash clothes
Saving graces were the children's which was very popular and the library which is a great idea.

Just got back from the my first visit the Peak Gateway.
Overall it is a nice site but I did feel it was quite over priced for a bank holiday at £30/night
Pro's:
Nice area
Friendly Staff
South of Ashborne so avoid traffic going through the town when travelling North on a Fridy night!
Good Showers
Green and Leafy site
Con's:
Expensive
Pot wash water often cold except at 7am!
Pub not open on the sunday night of a bank holiday! (the function room was open, but it was a little Phoenix nights if you know what I mean!, we went back to the tents!)
There is a Generator in the camping field which powers the EHU points. This is quiet but noticeable, must be annoying if camping close to it.
Also 'The Horns' pub is Ashborne town centre was very tasty and good value!

Just had a 3 day stay at this camp site, a very friendly and helpful staff. A very nice clean camping area. We arrived on the back end of the may bank holiday so the site was quiet. The main toilet and shower area was by the main reception. There was an additional toilet and pot wash area closer to the camping area, but by the second day only the ladies toilet was open, and there was no hot water in the pot wash area

Have just visited this site and I must admit that I was disappointed. We were unfortunate to be camped next to the generator which was noisy. The bins also in the same area were literally overflowing by the Sunday morning, by the Monday morning there was bags of rubbish all over the floor. Whilst I appreciate that it was a Bank Holiday, surely the owners would realise that as the tent area was nearly full to capacity, that a lot of rubbish would be generated and additional bins would be required.
The toilets near to the tent area were pretty dire, there was no where to put anything ie. Shelving or hooks., and honestly they could of done with a good scrub. The main toilet and shower facilities (incidentally near to the caravan and lodges area) were ok.
The washing up area was used only once as there was no hot water (had to boil a kettle in tent) and was not the cleanest of places (this was in part because of campers not cleaning up after themselves, but there was rust around sink area, again no where to put anything. There was a lot of moaning about the lack of hot water and awful toilets by other campers.
It rained heavily on Saturday, but the ground drained very well, but high winds on the Sunday made you realise just how much hedges, etc, are needed to protect tent, I heard that at least 3 units had to pack up after tent coming down.
There is a pub on site but we didn't use. On Sunday the owners had organised a Beach Party, with a free bouncy castle, but other activities ranged from £ to ££. The site owners were nice. The children's playground was apparently for under 10's (though we were not warned about this until we saw notice on fence).
There are signs requesting that speed limits be kept to 10 mph, but was really concerned about the speed of some cars on site, as there were a lot of kids on bikes.
There appeared to be a lot of caravans permanently sited, and they seemed to have the better facilities. Tent area was very crowded in parts (I even saw three tents where their guide ropes were touching, though this maybe because they were friends, but even then, surely this is a fire hazard?
Would not use this site again.

Just came home from two nights camping in a tent at this site with my girlfriend. We had booked to stay for four nights but returned home early due to it being freezing and almost constantly raining.
About the campsite, I think the £25 we paid for the Easter nights for non electric is very expensive - the bar area is nice however not very big - food smelt and looked nice however didn't eat in it. Didn't really look in the shop and the geocachers shop wasn't open. -
The facilities on the actual camping area, well the toilet facilities next to the tented area is port-a-cabin style and not the best - there is however newer facilities with showers to the rear of the bar area, a bit of walk in the fresh morning air for a shower really and I can imagine would get very busy and dirt in busy periods.
There are only I think around 40 pitches for tents (non electric) and maybe the same for electric pitches, this campsite is mainly aimed at caravans and statics but the staff were on hand when we arrived to make sure we felt welcome, maybe this was because it was empty when we arrived or just their friendliness? The staff are very very friendly and the owner bob very nice and helpful.
There isn't anything within walking distance of the site so a car is essential for getting around but I think this is probably the same when stopping around this area.
Would I return to this campsite again? Possibly!

Just came back from a weekend away here and I have to say it is the most friendliest of places. The owners were very friendly and helpful nothing was to much for them.
The showers and toilet block were clean and spacious the water was hot to, nothing worse than having a cold shower but here was lovely.
The bar was open and have to say again very friendly and the kids welcome, meals reasonable priced about 3.00 pound each and nice portions. They had mulled wine on tap and have to say I did get the taste for it lol. Had a nice games room for the kids and the park is right outside the bar so you can sit in peace with drink while kids play.
The pitches were of good sizes and although it rained at times the site was hardly wet. Will definitely be going here again

We have just returned from Peak Gateway after a lovely weekend. This is the nicest site we have been to this year. The owners & their children were lovely & helpful.
The site was spacious & well maintained.
Toilets & showers were brilliant size, clean & warm.
Playground was brill & we had to keep dragging our girls away. It suits all ages & has seating nearby for you to relax while watching your kids.
The bar area was clean, warm & very family friendly. Food & drink were reasonable.
I can't say enough about how helpful & friendly the owners were. Our caravan came of the towball on our way out & before we were out of the car the owner was there to help us!
Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Totally agree with the last review, this is a large clean modern site with big flat pitches, I didn't use the motor mover and reversed in which is something for me who cant reverse to save my life, modern bar and shop and on the edge of the Peak District. Dont worry about them not having a website trust the reviews.
Stayed for a weekend and they charged £20 per night, well worth it. An assault course bouncy castle for the kids and I sat and read a book from the shop library on the clean modern tables just outside the bar. Lovely lady on reception which is always nice on your arrival to a new site. Key card barrier which is a must for any modern site. Cant fault the site and will return again.

Nice enough site, but let itself down with hot water issues - particularly in the wash pots room - two sinks not really enough, and often had to wait up to 30 mins for any hot water at all.
Shower blocks clean, but design issue means that mop needed to be used regularly and often the 'dry' area was wetter than the 'wet' area.
Shame no gazebos are allowed.
On-site pub friendly, shop had the basics, play area was adequate (but kids got absolutely filthy from the rubber on the floor - but then kids always get filthy so not really an issue!)
Ashbourne nearby with a couple of supermarkets and many shops / pubs and a market. Lots of lovely walks close by - gorgeous scenery. Leisure centre has odd opening hours / swimming times so check before you go if you want to go swimming!
