 We went with our friends, who had been twice before, already, and our Flat Coated Retriever, Henry.
The campsite, overall, is one of the best I have ever been to. The grounds and pitches are beautifully kept without them feeling ‘uniformed’ or artificial.
You approach the site via a long and very narrow road (which has passing places, which shows how narrow the road is, but didn’t pose any trouble for the caravans we saw using it) and turn in to the site just before the road ends.
The first thing you see is the large field set aside for exercising dogs. This is a very well kept area and our dog absolutely loved running around with the other dogs he met during our stay (including his holiday girlfriend, Phoebe the Golden Retriever). Although the field runs along the site’s main route in and out, the field is large enough not to pose any danger when your dogs are running free.
There are also some walled woodlands that you are able to take your dogs in to that you can access from within the site, if your dog wants to go ‘off road’.
The main block of the site consists of the reception (with shop, laundry room and a section where you can borrow books/walking routes / magazines and the outdoor games such as Boules / Badminton / Miniature Golf etc.), the washing up room (where there is also a microwave and a freezer for ice packs) and the toilet / shower blocks.
The toilets and showers were immaculately clean and we didn’t have to queue once while we were there. There were three push button showers with lots of free hot water and three toilet cubicles with hand basins inside. The blocks were also heated and had piped in Radio 2.
We were in the main tent field (without EHU) and everyone was pitched along the edge of the field, so no one’s view was blocked by another tent. The field is sheltered all the way around by trees and bushes and meant that there was practically no wind at all.
The pitches are well spaced out and are more or less flat, ensuring an easy pitch and level beds at night.
The owners of this site could not be more helpful and friendly. Couldn’t do enough for you, but left you to get on with your holiday if you wanted. They made an excellent site even better.
As for the surrounding area, the beautiful village of Longnor is only a couple of miles away and we walked there on the Saturday in glorious sunshine in no time at all.
While we were there, we visited the Old Cheshire Cheese Inn for three pints of their Unicorn hand pulled real ale and a delicious pub lunch of homemade steak and ale pie (made with the Unicorn ale) and homemade ‘proper’ chips.
For anyone taking their dog(s), they will be more than welcome here and your best friend will be able to sit with you while you eat. The dog friendly bar is on the right as you go through the main doors.
It’s also worth visiting the local shop (next to the King’s Head pub) for any essentials you may have forgotten. We went in looking for hot water bottles (as we were a little cold at night) and the young lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful.
I can’t recommend this camp site highly enough, and we are very much looking forward to visiting again, soon. If you’re looking for a beautiful and quiet site where your dogs will be as welcome as you are, then this is the site for you.

This is a very well run site with excellent and very clean facilities. We had absolutely no complaints at all, and we'd wholeheartedly recommend Longnor for a relaxing break.
We only stayed for a couple of nights in order to meet up with family in Buxton, we were made very welcome, even with two large dogs in tow.
The very wet weather had made one end of our pitch a trifle damp, which was hardly surprising, but since we'd booked rather late at a busy time and taken (I think) the last pitch with electric hook up we were quite happy - nobody could predict the 2009 'BBQ summer' in it's actuality!
Set quite high in the surrounding countryside, there's a beautiful outlook from the field on the approach. I only wish we'd been able to stay a little longer in some better weather.

Had a lovely 3 nights on this site. Wardens very helpful. Left you alone to enjoy your stay unless of course you needed them and then only a bell push away. I had a problem with the car when I was leaving. Warden tried to jump start - to no avail. Called the rescue service so it meant I was late leaving the site. Asked if they wanted me to pay any money but they said it was OK. Very good of them.
The views around this site are breathtaking. I will definitely visit again. Beware if you use a satnav, It takes you past the site. Best to follow the brown camping signs when you reach Longnor Village

This site is excellent in all aspects! We stayed for 8 nights leading up to the Easter holiday. The weather was normal for the time of year, we had everything except snow. Even an overnight gale didn't spoil anything for us but we did find out that our rock pegs were not long enough!
On our first morning we discovered that the washing up water was luke warm but it was corrected by the staff as soon as we mentioned it, as the site had only just opened for the season some of the time switches on the water system were not on the correct time. Soon fixed.
If you want a site that has excellent scenery,peace and quite, perfect washrooms and friendly staff then look no further.

Just got back from our weekend at Longnor Wood. What can I say that hasn't already been said?? Fantastic site, great facilities, stunning scenery. Weather could have been kinder - had a few showers and some blustery wind - but you can't do anything about that. Went with a couple of friends and we lent them our Vango Venture, so had a couple of pitches together.
Went to Buxton and Bakewell for a walk around on Saturday, bought lots of picnic type food back and utilised one of the picnic tables for our spread, whilst having a boules tournament (Helped by some beer too!)
Staff were very friendly, would definitely recommend this site if you want some quiet away from it all time.

Arrived early evening to a warm and friendly welcome from the young man on duty. He directed us to our serviced pitch and helped park up. He then showed us where everything was. Toilet block, chemical drop etc. The site and amenities were well kept and very clean. Having two Labradors who were eager for their walkies, I set off for the dog walk. I was amazed. What a stunning views. The next day we drove in to the village and had fish and chips in the tea rooms. Very nice.
We booked this site on a recommendation from a friend and we were very glad that we did. Will certainly book again.

I'm not going to repeat much as the reviews ring true, excellent friendly site. Facilities were immaculate and a beautiful location.
Only warning I will give you is to use a map and NOT satnav to get there as it will take you miles round single track lanes and get lost, still at least we had a good look at the area eh.
Will most definitely return.

Arrived to a very warm welcome and after a friendly chat we were shown to our pitch. The staff member explained the site rules, where everything was, water, toilets,washing up facilities,laundry,fire extinguishers etc and all in a very pleasant manner. After pitching the first port of call was the toilet block which was clean,heated and had piped radio 2, which was nice! In short the facilities are excellent. There is also a small well stocked shop on site. What more do you want?
There is a playground but not for kids as this is an adults only site. Badminton, boules,pitch and putt are freely available. The tent field is only on a slight slope so no problems there. Now the best bit. The location, the views are outstanding. The two nearest pubs are in the local village of Longnor which is about a 2 mile walk(and very nice at that). If you want peace and quiet then this is the place to be. Put it this way we enjoyed it that much we re-booked to visit again the following month!

On arrival we were shown to our pitch (no 6), about 100 yards from the toilets and just a convenient 10m away from a mains tap with easy access to the exit road. We were told specifically where to pitch the tent and where to park the car by the friendly enough warden, though first impressions were that the set up was a bit unnecessarily over fussy.
All the facilities here are spotlessly clean and very modern from the basic water amenities right down to the free use microwave and ice block freezer. The only minor gripe being that you have to press the button every 10 to 15 seconds to keep the shower water flowing which becomes irritating after a couple of minutes.
The site is 1.6 miles (Google Earth!) from Longnor village (and the nearest pubs) by foot, though it is easier going (30 mins) than coming back up the hill. The Horseshoe Inn and The Cheshire Cheese pubs are both pleasant enough, though the latter being quite a bit cheaper.
Our stay was made all the better by superb weather though I would come back again anyway if for no other reason than the kid free peace and quiet and magnificent scenery.

Haven't got a bad word to say about this site.
Beautifully presented. Well maintained. Fully serviced pitch was excellent.
All other pitches seemed to be positioned well. Would have been happy to have been put anywhere.
Toilet block is clean, tidy, well looked after.
Staff always had a smile. Lovely people. Once through the main barrier the view is fantastic and the sunset was awesome.
The walk to Longnor was about 1.25 miles away and once there you have 3 pubs to choose from. A post office and a small shop. Extremely pretty village. Bit of a pull up the final hill on the way back.
We will definitely be visiting again!

Just come back from weekend at Longnor. Got lost using sat nav! not recommended as had to turn around in postman pat country. When we arrived we were shown to our pitch and the gentleman even helped us push the van into position.
The shower was a pain as it was a push in type and only lasted a minute at a time, apart from that no gripes. Great site with great views would recommend it. Longnor just 40 mins walk away has 3 good pubs and a fab chippy. We will be back

We spent a wonderful week here over May half term in the lower half of the site where the statics are and it has to be one of the best sites we have stayed on. I was surprised to read one of the reviews on here about site rules as I thought this was one of the most relaxed and rule free sites we have ever stayed on. We were shown to our pitch by a very nice young man who never mentioned which way we should pitch tent, car or anything else. Neither did we experience any kind of nasty smells while camped on this side of the site.
The site is in a wonderful location and even if you don't have a dog, a stroll around the huge dog walking area is a must for the wonderful views.
The village is great for amenities and a coffee in the craft shop is another must. We didn't eat or drink in the pubs so cant comment but the little village shop is like a tardis and very well stocked. It has no licence though so the nearest place to buy that last minute bottle of wine is Morrisons in Buxton, a good sized supermarket.
The site is very well placed for visiting all areas of the peak national park and Derbyshire and a big plus for us was the big discount bookstore on the corner as you turn off the Buxton road.
We loved this site with its spotless facilities, friendly owners, peace and quiet and stunning views and I am sure we will be bringing our tent here for many years to come.

This park is on various levels with open spaces and a variety of wildlife to observe. On arrival we were shown a hard standing pitch on a steep gradient which we felt would damage our (brand new)caravan. We were offered a level pitch on grass but with the recent bad weather these pitches were also unusable. We were eventually offered a harding standing, level pitch on the higher ground, which was ideal. The park is located in the Peak Naitonal Park with stunning views all round for those who enjoy walking. The park facilities are very good with clean toilets and efficient showers. The village of Longnor is very picturesque with a variety of things to do. If visiting this park you need to be specific when booking the type of pitch required. We will definitely be visiting the area again.

To say we love this site is an understatement. We stay at least once a year, even if it’s just the Saturday night whilst we go out to walking on the Saturday, Sunday.
The site appears to be run by a family who live on the grounds. We are always met by happy smiling faces, and always escorted to our plot. And there is always someone around if and when you need them.
We took our friends here last august bank holiday, as an introduction to camping, and I think we spoilt them. Big pitches, nice relaxing environment, boules and pitch & put whilst enjoying a glass or two of red wine in the sun.
The site has undergone some improvements of late, the shower block has been updated, but and this is it’s only downfall, there is still a smell of drains for a 1m perimeter around the shower block building. Oddly it’s no further out than that, and not inside the block itself.
As for the facilities themselves, the shower block is always clean when I go. Ok some grass on the floor, but you can’t escape that on a campsite. There is a large field dedicated field for dog walking (if you have a dog). Longnor village is tiny, but it has a small general store/ post office and a few pubs. I haven’t ventured out to the pubs yet, as we always take our own! Bakewell is near, and a lovely village to have a potter. On the way down we always stop off at the big clearance bookstore nearby to grab a bargain.
As an adults only site, I think it makes all the difference. And to my friends & family who I am trying to coax into camping (after hearing about the great times we’ve had come rain or shine) I always recommend Longnor Wood as a very good site.

Absolutely beautiful setting but narrow road leading to site so please obey site instructions ie do not arrive on site before 2 pm. Warm welcome on arrival; we were given details of amenities both on site and in the village (small shop on site and also in village). If the site shop could get a licence to sell wine they would make a killing as we went into Buxton to buy some! Pubs in village but we didn't visit so can't recommend. Toilets/showers/washing facilities excellent.
Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.
