 Only stayed one night here purely as a stopover to break a very long journey home from a stay at Durham Grange CC. It was a very strange approach to this site through a built up town and an industrial estate. When you reach the site the country park opens up in front of you and it’s like you’ve been transported to another place!
The wardens were helpful and friendly and we were allowed to choose our own site but we arrived at 4. 30pm on a Friday night and only a few grass pitches were still available. We felt that the pitches were a bit more cramped than at other CC sites but still very pleasant due to the well maintained facilities.
No problem here with phone signal but TV reception was quite poor. Had to jiggle with the aerial a bit to get a picture. The showers and toilets were immaculate but when are sites going to learn that 10. 30am – 12. 00 noon is not a good time to clean them. As you have to be off site and cannot arrive until 12. 00 noon this would be a much better time to do the cleaning allowing people departing to have a shower and new arrivals to get a shower once they had set up. Please take note Caravan Club!
The laundry and washing up facilities were also extremely good. The site has a very modern, eco friendly look to it and some very pleasant places to walk the dog just off site. All in all we would definitely would go back for a longer stay to explore more of what this lovely site has to offer.

Easy access only a couple of easy miles of J29a of the M1.
All the grass pitches had been taken out of use as it was fairly wet.
Warden John was very friendly and helpful.
Very strict rules on pitching had to be with the corner of the van to the centre peg.
Toilets and showers very clean and warm.
Saw two people arrive and save pitches next to them for family/friends arriving later - not sure if the warden had agreed to this or they just did it.
Flexibility on leaving was nice - on the non service pitches there was a sign saying you could stay till 2pm.
Some noise from motorbikes and the police chopper but nothing major.
Overall a nice site with plenty of walking directly off site.
Not much for children on site but a play area for 5 pluses near the lake. The children who were on site seemed quite happy cycling round the site and playing swingball.

Visited on a busy weekend when the site was fully booked (we managed to grab a cancellation).
First impressions weren’t great, the local area is quite derelict and you come up through the industrial estate first before you get into the country park. The site looked crowded with rows of caravans and, as with most hardstanding sites, it lacked character.
Pitches were easy to get onto and standard CC size. Nearly all hardstanding gravel but a few grass pitches on the ends and edges. Trees had been planted on site but these weren’t very big so the wind could be quite strong. I think the site will feel a lot less clinical when the trees have grown and pitching areas are separated rather than just looking out over row after row of caravans. Pitches sloped slightly which was unexpected on a purpose built site.
Site was well maintained and very tidy. Toilet block was lovely – supremely clean and warm, with plenty of hand soap and loo roll at all times. 6 showers and 6 privacy cubicles in ladies. Block closed from 10. 30 – 12. 00 for cleaning.
Pot washing area was inside which was nice – again, plenty of hot water.
Country park was great for walking the dogs in although on some evenings there were teens on motorbikes racing around which did detract from it a little. Trans-Penine way and plenty of other cycle routes locally.
Morrisons in Staveley – a few minutes drive. Didn’t see a chip van on site which is unusual for a CC site as most seem to have them.
No play area on site – a large play area for older children on the country park a 2 minute walk away but younger children had to play on site with bikes and scooters which they seemed quite happy with.
Cost – this was the most expensive CC site we have stayed on and I am not sure why it is more than other sites as it has no special facilities. However it is a nice site, convenient to the M1 J29a and we would visit it again.

Beautiful site. Clean, tidy and very well kept. Toilet block very nice; showers, individual wash cubicles and toilets. Free hairdryer. Showers not overly powerful but adequate and NOT on one of those annoying timer buttons! Laundry room and vegetable prep area also but didn't use either of these facilities so cannot comment other than to say, as with everything else at Poolsbrook, they looked very clean.
The pitches are a mix of either grass or hardstanding. We were on hard standing and found them very spacious (will fit caravan, awning and car side by side). We had two children with us, aged 9 and 6 and they both enjoyed riding their bikes around the site. The fact that ball games are not allowed on site I think was a plus as does mean peace and quiet for all and there is an area a few minutes walk away where such games can be played. Here you will also find the adventure playground which our kids LOVED.
Didn't try the cafe here but it is well positioned if you want to have a coffee whilst keeping an eye on the play area. Great safe walking and cycle routes all around the site. The lake was lovely with all the wildlife and seats dotted about to just sit and enjoy the view. All in all a very pleasant long weekend. Cannot think of any minus points and will definitely return.
Our motorhome is 32' long and didn't freak the wardens out (as usually happens!)They were extremely pleasant and helpful when booking and not at all over officious during our stay. The site is also very easy to find, just a couple of minutes off J29a M1, no satnav needed. So close to motorway for ease of access yet no motorway traffic noise can be heard from the site. Would recommend this site to both families and couples of all ages.

Stayed here the last weekend in July, site fully booked for the weekend. A mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches- we chose a grass pitch which seemed larger than the hard standing pitches.
A great site, very well laid out and the best ever toilet/shower block facilities. Spotlessly clean facilities all weekend. Ample hot water and no push button showers, free hairdryers. The shower block was closed from 10. 30 - 12 for cleaning but whilst it is closed their is a single toilet available for use. The site has a disabled toilet and a parent and toddler room which was great for washing the children. Included in the facility block was a laundry and a pot wash area - this was again spotless and was used a lot by guests.
The site does not have a play area and no ball games are allowed but children were very happy playing on scooters and bikes but were not noisy.
The shop sold the basics along with sweets and ice creams, you could pre-order newspapers. Alongside the shop is an information kiosk with menus and local attractions leaflets.
The TV signal is very poor and we had no joy from the digital ariel so invested in a TV cable from reception as each EHU socket also has a TV booster fitted - with this the TV was perfect.
Plenty of water, waste and recycling points around the site.
Next to the site is Poolsbrook country park which has a fantastic children's play area, fishing lake and a very reasonably priced cafe (open 10-4 at the weekend).
About a mile away is a Morrisons if you need to stock up on supplies.
If using Sat Nav leave at the M1 junction 29a if travelling from the south as this is much closer than using J30.
Check out time on a Sunday as advertised as 2pm but we asked if we could stay on and the wardens very kindly let us stay until 4pm.
A lovely site, nice and quiet but lots of children enjoying themselves. Fantastic facilities would definitely return.

A wonderful site!
This was our return visit. Having been here in April and been so impressed. We visited Bolsover Castle and other English Heritage Sites around the area. There was so much to do we will be returning next year.
The site is set in an old coal mining area. Next to the site is a lovely country park park with a fantastic newly built children's playground. This was great for after tea when we all walked down to the lake and the children played. The equipment caters for all ages, little tots to daredevil teenagers.
The caravan club site itself is immaculately clean. There were super pitches and electric / tv hook ups with plenty of water points. It is an Eco site and great care has been taken with environmental sustainability. The wash block is lovely and warm with great showers and always very clean.
The wardens were very friendly and the children made lots of friends and played happily on the very safe, gated site.

Arrived to a warm welcome; easy to find, just off M1 Junction 29A is best exit.
Quiet site which is immaculate, large serviced pitches. Wardens more than helpful and cheerful which is essential.
Facilities immaculate with what feels like underfloor heating! Exceptionally clean, music fed through the facilities which is nice while you're showering etc. Only drawback, which is minor, is the showers are not very powerful. They are large however, with plenty of space for drying. The facilities are closed for cleaning from 10.30 which, if you are like us and like a lie in, feels a little early, but hey, at least they are cleaned well.
There is a large washroom too if you have a family and wish to do a clothes wash.
The country park which is adjacent is fab for dog walking. The whole area has some great walks, in particular, Clumber park and Chatsworth are all within a decent drive.
Chesterfield is nearby and quite a nice place if you wish to do some shopping. There is a Morrisons in Stavely if you need supplies and it is within walking distance.
Overall a fab site in a reasonable area. Have been to many sites and this is one of the best.

What a lovely site everywhere was so clean the wardens and assistant wardens are so nice and helpful, the pitches are the usual high standard you expect from the CC.
There is some lovely walks around the site and a good fishing lake so other half says,
Just behind the site where the lake is there is a small cafe I would recommend the breakfast fantastic value
A lovely walk into Staveley where there is a market on every Friday, the people there were really friendly. Excellent position as a stop over as it's only about a mile from the motorway. Will be going back

What a fantastic site we were sorry that we had only booked this site as a 2 night break in our journey to Oxfordshire. Wardens were extremely friendly and helpful as we were delayed in leaving we phoned to say that we planned on getting there for 8pm but it was late. They were really friendly on the phone and explained where the over night stay was for us to use.
When we went to reception on the morning they were lovely. Nice level pitch and very spacious. Some pitches are hard standing, some service pitches and grass pitches so it was nice to have an option.
The toilet block is brilliant, clean plenty and plenty of facilities. A lovely baby room with a mini bath with over head shower. Also a pull down changing board which was brilliant to get our 7 month boy dried and dressed. The site is kept immaculate.
As the site is in a country park there is plenty of walking and also suitable for bike riding. There is a huge lake where you can go fishing. There is also a cafe which is excellent value for money. You can walk into Chesterfield through a well pathed walk through the park. Theres a big market on in Chesterfield every saturday with lots of stalls, this is also a big town centre so plenty of shops available.
We are already planning a return visit to this site. It is so easy to access due to how close it is to the M1, caravan club book directions are are really clear.

First thing I noticed is the directions I got from the caravan clubs own website are incorrect, cc telling you to turn into barnham drive when it should be fan lane of the a619, barnham drive is in the middle of the local housing estate, could catch a few people out
site is well maintained to an excellent standard, toilet block is best ever,nice local walks around the country park next door,
if you like fishing you need a fishing licence for £3.50 from the local tackle shop in town,
altogether very tidy site, well worth a few days stop over, pitches are grass, hard stand & fully serviced.
