 Just returned from Newhaven having spent 3 nights there and can only say that we found very little wrong with the site. The weather was dry so we had no issues with muddy pitches or other weather related problems. The site was reasonably quiet both day and night.
The toilets and showers were a little old but perfectly alright apart from water being too hot or too cold on different days. The boiler was about to be sorted as we left. There was a queue most days for the washing up area so a couple more sinks may help. The play area was a little basic.
The staff were very helpful. We had a laugh with Paul who joke with us everyday. Ashbourne is definitely worth visiting, along with Buxton, Bakewell and the whole of this area.
We chose this site because it was cheaper than some other sites in area and we feel we did get value for money.

We have just spent a week here. Must say it was quiet for a Double Bank Holiday week and very good value.
On the down side, I didn't feel welcomed by the Wardens, no site information handout was given on arrival, Shop/Office wasn't always opened as per their time table.
The toilets and showers could do with updating and we did seem to be very very close to the caravans each side, though the Seasonal residents seems to have loads of space to which they proceeded to close off but use of tacky windbreaks.
Carriages Restaurant over the road was absolutely lovely but expensive.
Though this was quite a tidy site we will not be going back.

We chose Newhaven as it had the all the facilities we needed and its great location for our planned trips / visits etc. We only booked for one week had had a good time in Derbyshire. The site was very easy to find, we had a good pitch c/w ehu and was close to toilets, water, elsan points. There was also a small shop on site for all your basics. The site is hilly / sloping wouldn't recommend for tents only in the lower area, the toilets were out dated and only cleaned once a day this was around 11am. Good point was the showers were hot & free. We were packed in, we asked staff which fell on deaf ears. The kids playground was poor, the kids couldn't play ball games as there were caravans and tents located near the same area. The pub across the road, Carriages was expensive, we found a pub in Biggin about 5 min drive, which I would recommend for families. There is also a petrol station near the site. This site is ideally located for Ashbourne / Buxton / Matlock.

Just got back from Newhaven. Its a lovely site however, there were a couple of bad points.
On the way back we received a phone call (3 members of our party got a call) from the site, regarding how we left our pitch! We refuted the comment, as all 11 of us pulled our vans off the respective pitches and did a final 'sweep'.
We found the toilets not as clean as they could have been (missed for 2 days midweek). However very child / pet friendly. Had a rat in our awning on the last morning. No joke!
Site had poor drainage and puddles appeared after light rain. All in all a nice site.

The campsite is great for families and the staff are extremely helpful. We only stayed for a weekend but will definitely be coming back. My daughter and son loved the play area.
The only criticism is that we should have pitched our tent in the top field as the pitches in the bottom field have hardcore drainage 4 inches under the turf so the tent pegs will only go in at a very acute angle.
The nearby pub as stated on maps is not really a pub (its a cafe come restaurant with a bar) and does not open in the evenings. But the on site shop does sell beers by the can and wine if you fancy a tipple!

We picked this site because of the location. We arrived on site on lunch so the shop & reception was closed, so we chilled until 2pm when we booked in and was escorted to our pitch. The site was full as it was Bank holiday week so I'm glad we booked!
The pitch was slightly sloping but not too bad. The owners were friendly & helpful, I needed some bricks to level our cooker & the warden was very helpful & showed me where to get some. The site is enclosed by lots of trees so you don't get much wind.
The showers & toilets were cleaned regular but the water went cold by the end of the day so we had showers in the morning. There was a play area in the top field & shop for stuff like milk etc. The area was great we had been to Derbyshire before but not this site.
There used to be a Hotel across the road but this had shut down & it looked like someone was converting it into houses? There was a pub about a mile away over the fields nice walk & a good pint! Cant remember the name of the pub or village! Overall a great site & we will probably return next year.

This is a lovely site and the facilities are good. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Our visit was at the beginning of the school summer holidays and the site was very busy.
There are some lovely places to visit and would highly recommend a day in Buxton.
I would definitely visit this site again but not in the school holidays.

We stayed on this site on a fully-booked Bank Holiday and yet the blocks (only 2) were cleaned only once per day. The users of the bottom block were clearly ignorant people with no care for others but the Site Owners should have noted this and cleaned twice per day. The showers need upgrading and perhaps owners should try using the swinging shelf and have a shower when people are flushing loos and washing hands and see if they (a) get any hot water and (b) whether they can balance their toiletries long enough to get wet. We were pitched on a hill and spent 3 nights fighting gravity.
The site itself was very pretty and well kept and the area is stunning - would highly recommend Hartington for breakfast and Youlsgrave for tea. Unusually our children spent the whole weekend at our ankles as they had nothing to do - a few swings didn't do it for them.

We stayed here for 3 nights and used it as a base to visit the Peak district. It is a very well kept site with friendly and helpful staff. The facilities are always clean and the grounds kept in good condition. Great pubs nearby with good food.
The Duke of York does great food and Poole Cavern in Buxton and Go Ape is a must see. We will be returning there for sure.

We have stayed on this site on several occasions and have always found it to be excellent.
Staff are helpful and friendly and the site is always clean and tidy and the facilities on site are of a decent standard.
Located close to Dovedale this is an ideal base to walk in some lovely countryside.
Hopefully we will get to stay here many more times over the years ahead.

Had a great weekend at this site. Got a lovely spot at the bottom of the field big enough for two tents. Very handy shop on site and reasonable prices. No problems with the loos or showers kept very clean and no queues even though the site was full.
Very child / dog friendly ( no charge for my two dogs!) you could here a pin drop after 10.30pm will visit again no probs !

Called the week before we arrived and we were told that all the pitches were full but they did have one seasonal pitch available. We took this option and on arrival the site seemed really nice, if not extremely full.
Once we had been to the shop and checked in we were showed to our pitch, as we pulled up we had doubts of even fitting on there, and were told that the caravan owners next door had to move their car. They did, although not seeming to happy as that was their seasonal pitch and they were obviously weekend regulars.
We managed to fit our caravan, awning and quite big car on the pitch, this was at a HUGE push, we had approx 2 foot bewteen our caravan and next doors wind breaker, and just enough space to open the car door the other side, not to wide though as you would of hit the next caravan.
This said the facilities seemed nice enough although we didn't use them.
There was no space to do anything around you caravan, like let the children play etc.
Not much in the immediate area, although if you were on a walking holiday it was great. Buxton was about 10 miles away and this was the nearest place for even a co - op.
This site was ok for a rushed weekend away not going to far, but we definitely would not return here in a hurry as the pitches were far to close together.

Phoned up day before to arrive the last Bank Holiday Monday, told plenty of room for tents but no hook-ups available, when we arrived were told to drive down to the bottom field as this was flatter for our large family tent. The phone call and welcome all very friendly and welcoming. The facilities our cleaned but can get busy at popular times. The mens toilet were blocked on the last day, reported and fixed that morning.

We don't usually like big caravan/camping sites, but booking last minute for a Sunday night on bank holiday weekend didn't give us much choice. It was here or nowhere.
However, we were not disappointed - in fact we will be going back to stay here again in the summer! The campsite offers lots of little secluded areas to set up tents (if no electric needed).
Our 3 boys (all under 8) were happy zooming off climbing up banks and through the trees, whilst we set up camp. There were also a couple of little parks, but only staying for one night we didn't get to use them. The toilets were clean.
When you first arrive at the campsite there are lots of tents camped on a hill on the left, we were recommended to camp there by the lady in the shop. We didn't! It is much flatter on the field at the bottom.
Staff in the shop were very helpful and polite.
I can recommend the Chinese restaurant in Ashbourne (next to the carpark). The kids also enjoyed the cable cars and caves at Matlock Bath.
The only downside to this campsite was it was quite noisy at night.

We spent a very enjoyable couple of weekends at Newhaven. The site is fantastic, well maintained and very clean toilets.
The owners are great. Very friendly and helpful and will show you to your pitch when you arrive if needed.
For wandering around the Bakewell area the site is very well placed. Its about 6 miles outside of Bakewell centre and its an easy drive to get there.
It was pretty busy even in March so I would imagine it would get really busy in summer so booking is a must.
The pitch we stayed on was great, a little muddy but it had been raining a few days before we arrived. The second weekend we stayed it was much better as the ground had dried out.
Our pitch was flat as we had an electric hook up (thank goodness for the heater at night, its was freezing) but the other pitches which are non-electric are on quite a slope in places but it certainly wasn't putting off anyone pitched there.
All in all I'd definitely recommend the site. We'll absolutely be staying there again.
