 We tend to return to Chatsworth twice per year due to visiting family in the area - it really is a lovely place to be. The park is in the old walled garden of Chatsworth House, once in the grounds there are plenty of walks for dogs/humans, and a small dog walk on site.
The rules in place for turning up are well justified as there is a narrow road to/from the site with a single bridge into the site itself, so departing caravans need to be allowed out. As it's first come first served in terms of pitches it's amazing how often you see caravans 'loitering' on the main road to get in first!
The play area can get very noisy which is probably a good place to be if you need to keep an eye on the kids but perhaps avoid if you're looking for a quiet holiday.
The showers/toilets are modern and never too busy, though it is better to wait until after they have been cleaned. The closing times are very strict! There is a disabled toilet for use when the main block is closed, though this does get busy.
There is plenty to do in the surrounding area including Bakewell, Buxton and onto the Peak District - if you like big portions of food before/after a long walk try the Grindleford Cafe (head for the railway station), only open until 4pm daily.
My only major gripe is that this site gets booked up almost fully every weekend and holidays, etc. Though many of these booking are not taken up making it almost impossible to book 7/14 full days in advance - this is a CC issue not the site but may affect your plans, especially if trying to book at short notice.
All in all an excellent site in an excellent position.

Arrived on Friday at 2pm to find nobody else checking in. Asked by the very friendly staff to drive around and pick a pitch. I asked for some help seeing me back as I was on my own - the family were following later. No problem - nothing seemed to be too much trouble.
I had booked a super pitch which came with tap, chemical waste point and gray water waste point. There was a TV point on the electrical bollard, but this only offered analogue channels as this area has not been switched over. I used a satellite dish with great results. The pitch was hardstanding for the caravan and car with stone chippings for the awning. The roads were well marked with good signs although the road in is a little tight for wider units in a couple of parts. The heated toilet and shower facilities were very modern and were always spotless with plenty of hot water - 10 out of 10!
1/2 mile from the campsite is Chatsworth House. This is accessed via a loaked gate that you are given a key for. 3/4 mile in the other direction is the village of Baslow. The Devonshire Arms is a lovely old Peak District pub that has been recently renovated. The real ale is excellent and the Sunday roast a delight - @£50 for 2 adults and 2 kids incl drinks.
A great weekend and I cant wait to return in the Autumn.

Excellent site and friendly staff. Nice walk to Chatsworth House even though it was teeming down.
Our pitch No: 52 faces the deer park and the river. Toilet block etc spotlessly clean.
All in all 9/10. Well set out but avoid the trees if its raining for the pitter pat on the roof. Ducks patrol the site and abundant birds too.
Chatsworth house is about a 20 min walk through lovely countryside.

Just returned from our first visit to Chatsworth. Have to say weather was not good but what do you expect in January! The site itself is lovely you wouldn't expect anything else from a cc site. Wardens were very friendly and helpful. The dog walk is small,adequate for a quick morning/evening toilet break but with a gate to chats worth who cares! We drove into Baslow as it was pouring down but it is easily walkable. The 'supermarket' is more a village shop so get your groceries before you go. The pub was fab real ale and allowed the dogs to which is unusual.
All in all a fab weekend. As for Chatsworth the grounds are great wouldn't visit in the summer as imagine it to be very busy but out of season it was great.

We have just returned from a highly enjoyable stay at Chatsworth and can only praise the site and its staff.
Location is very convenient for both Baslow village and, of course, Chatsworth House and Park. Walks were available direct from the site which is what we prefer. This varied from woods to moor, and villages to valleys. Cycling is not permitted on Chatsworth Park which is understandable from safety point of view due to gradients.
The facilities were extremely high quality, as good we have seen on any site, and well maintained and presented. This included Wifi which was very easy to use even for myself, so well done CC. The only, possible, problem may be the actual capacity of the facilities to cope with large numbers in summer peak but this was not a problem in January.
All in all a first class site to which we will most certainly be returning. Well Done!

Usual high standard that you expect of the Caravan Club. Wardens friendly and helpful, location great, facilities very good but pitches a bit on the tight side.
Only problem for us was arriving in the dark, the pitches are not easy to see and it was very, very hard to work out what was an available pitch and what was a random bit of land. We drove round the poorly lit site 4 times! I appreciate that the low level lighting is to keep the site from seeming to holiday park and not to be a blot on the Chatsworth landscape but being brutally honest, I felt the lighting to be very poor to borderline perilous! It was hard to find my way back to reception to inform them of the pitch we had (finally) found.
Would I stay there again? I doubt it as I am not keen on going to the toilet block in the dark and opening my door into the pitch of the van sandwiched next to me.

Toilets not as good as used to be, maybe lack of staff at that time. Boise seems to be going downhill if you ask me. Friendly wardens.There are quieter sites but location is wonderful, Bakewell, Baslow all nearby. Pubs in Baslow hit and miss when open, last orders new years eve 11pm. Devonshire Arms spot on staff great serving til late new years eve.

We stayed here from Boxing day until after New year.
When we arrived there were water problems, most of the taps were frozen because of the adverse weather conditions but everyone managed, getting water from the wash up area. The wardens worked very hard to cope with all that was thrown at them.
When things started to thaw it left the paths and walk ways very dirty and some waterlogged but this was unavoidable.
The site has the usual good cc facilities, nice, warm and clean.
The site has a small dog walk, with bins.
There is access to the estate through a gate, it's about 15 to 20 mins walk from here to Baslow, (very muddy paths due to weather) where there is a shop, pubs and there are regular buses to Bakewell, Buxton and Matlock.
We walked to Bakewell from the site across the fields, it took about an hour and a half, but we did take a wrong turn, then caught the bus back.
The site is centrally located for touring Derbyshire.
I would visit the site again but only in better weather.

Plus points - The site itself is set in an idyllic location, right on the edge of the estate, within easy walking distance of both Baslow and Chatsworth House. The site is well laid out and sheltered. An excellent base for three reasons. Not to be recommended for winter however.
Negative points - The 1 mile length dedicated access road is not gritted or cleared. We were unable to leave the site on our designated departure date because of this problem. The warden, although pleasant, seemed ineffectual in solving the problem.
The amenities block is powered by electric pumps and without this the water flow ceases to both toilets and water supply.

The setting could not be better, in a beatiful walled garden with a good choice of pitches. Quite cramped with units fairly close together. Very clean facilities.
Lovely dog walk in Chatsworth park, just iddyllic with gorgeous views and Chatsworth's gorgeous gardens to explore right through the gate in the wall.
Customer service very good indeed. I lost the cap to my water tank. It actually bounced out into a hedge on the driveway where it was found by a member of staff after I had rung to see if it was left on site. Lucky for me that she cycled home and spotted it there.
Shop sells a few essentials but the local village store in Baslow also has basics.

We booked 5 nights here, and despite the bad weather, we would have stayed longer if possible.
The site itself is well laid out and the facilities were probably the best we have seen, looking as though they have been newly renovated.
A great base for visiting Bakewell, Matlock, and the many other gorgeous little villages round and about.Chesterfield is not too far, and has many pubs,places to eat, and shops.
If you want to stay close by there are some beautiful walks within the grounds, and a trip to the house is a must. Dont forget to take your receipt from your CC payment, as you get a discount into Chatsworth.
I would recommend this site, and we will be returning there soon.

Just returned from spending a lovely weekend at this site. The facilities are wonderfully clean and we didn't have to queue for the showers even though the site was full. The pot holes have been filled in (thankyou). Very friendly staff made us very welcome.
There is a dog walk on site and plenty of bins for your doggie waste.
There are lovely walks and Chatsworth House and grounds is definitely worth a visit.
Baslow is a pleasant little village and is about a twenty minute walk from the site.
We will definitely return to this wonderful site.

Spent a week at Chatsworth CC this July; the first week of the school summer holiday and while Peak 2010 was going on over the wall in the estate grounds. Despite the scouts next door and the site being full, the site never felt busy.
The site is usual CC standards and we felt the pitches were a good size and well arranged. Some reviews make note of weeds on the pitch. We never felt this was an issue, but I did whiteness wardens spraying the hard standings with weed killer.
While the showers were new and clean, the water pressure could have been better, but it didn’t stop us keeping clean. The family room is nice, but it’s a children size toilet!
TV reception was good through the CC TV booster system, we never tried our aerial.
It’s a nice walk to Chatsworth House and to the village of Edensor, which is worth a look around and a cup of tea at the tea room.
I like photography and was pleased to find out that photography inside the house is allowed, which is unusual for such houses/ attractions. Chatsworth has plenty to offer a family and our 5 and 3 year old girls had loads of fun in the gardens and in the farm with its big play area. As you may expect, they were not that taken on the house! The play area on the CC site isn’t much; one slide, climbing wall and net, and monkey bars, but our children enjoyed it.
The dog walk is small, but that’s not an issue as Chatsworth grounds are on your doorstep. You have to keep them on a lead though due to sheep according to the signs, but we didn’t see any sheep on that side of the river, possibly due to the Peak 2010 event.
Would we visit again – definitely.

Just had an extremely relaxing weekend at this excellent Caravan Club Site.
The pitch we had was fully maintained as were the other pitch areas; neatly mowed lawn, debris free hard-standing areas.
The service points are clean and tidy, the chemical toilet emptying point is well maintained. The toilet block is modern and also well maintained.
Must remark on how peaceful this site is, just the occasional sound of bleating sheep coming from the other side of the wall that surrounds the site.
The Wardens work hard and are a credit to the Caravan Club which in our opinion was so obviously apparent; combining friendliness with an extremely professional attitude.
Concerning the disrepair of the road leading into the site, happily it was scheduled for resurfacing on the day of our departure 8th August 2010.

In Chatsworth as I write and enjoying the location with a glass of wine. Visted this site 3 years ago and wanted to return so decided this year to re-visit Chatsworth for the first week of our holiday.
Location is superb with access to Chatsworth great for walking and Bakewell only 4 miles away, this is our favourite town in The Peak District.
Toilet block has been refurbished since our last visit and is always spotless, although the showers could be warmer and the water supply in the cubicles for shaving and to the dishwashing area has always been cold.
Surrounding district is great and pubs in Baslow are ideal for a stroll/drink/evening meal with kids.
Buxton, Caselton, Ashbourne, Chesterfield and surrounding area have plenty to do.
One thing I did notice on return this year is that that pitch maintenance is not what it was three years ago. Given the location and occupancy rate this site should be one of the Caravan Clubs showpiece sites. However all pitches are badly in need of a weed and the site could be better maintained in general. Given this site was closed for several months a few years back for refurbishment we were a little disappointed with the overall appearance. Access road is also full of potholes and requires careful navigation with the van.
For anyone who is visiting for the first time it is worth paying extra for a fully serviced pitch as this gives slighly more space/privacy - especially if you have a larger unit and want to put upan awning.
Would definitely return but in our opinion there are better sites in the CC network and possibly in the Peaks.
