 We booked by telephone, and was told we can use electric at night for battery charging only. This was fine,
However when we arrived we were told it was on a first come first served basis! The field looked very wet, despite having a 4x4 I decided not towing a twin axle caravan across it, (good move) we instead went onto the hard standing, but ended up with another caravan squashed in not 5feet from us & one 8feet in front. (fire hazard!) In the end it was so busy we were afraid to go out in case we couldn't get the car back in. I think greed on the owners part took over but it was interesting watching all the cars getting stuck in the field (inc 4x4`s & caravans) My electric cable spent 4 days being run over. Majority of hard standing used as full time living.

Talk about value for money, nice big field plenty of room for pitches. The toilet block with showers was nice and clean, and a sink to wash your pots and pans. The pub itself was lovely and cosy inside. Nice welcome from the people behind the bar. Had a lovely walk around the village (Winster) got a village shop and another pub. All in all a great place for walkers The scenic views were amazing all round the camp and the village.

Friday & Saturday night at the Miners Standard, Winster.
A wonderful warm welcome from staff. Pitched van on the hard standing area as the grass was still soft from all the recent rain.
A cheap and cheerful basic campsite with pub doing food. £5 per night, as I only had to pay for myself - my three year old was free! Excellent value and a refreshing change from the £25 a night sites.
One spotless gents loo/shower and presumably the same for ladies. Cleaned regularly, even though there were only a few people on site. Plenty of loo paper. Hot water. No worries when quiet, but the lock is on the outer door, so if someone is showering the loo is out of action for others. I'm sure the pub loo's would be available when open though?
Pot wash was outside near loo's
No electric, but didn't need it. The few electric points available would need VERY long leads, and perhaps pre booking would be a good idea if this was a requirement? Not something I use very often, so didn't matter to me.
Well mown grass camping field, but steep in places.
No play area for kids, but we did find a set of swings across the road and into the village a short distance. Dogs, cows and a few other animals next door. Nice to be woken by a cockerel instead of car doors slamming for a change. Rabbits running about on site too!
Campsite has separate road entrance to pub car park.
Didn't sample beer or food, as had little boy with me, but pub interior was nice and traditional and the food smelled excellent! Maybe next time?
Nothing nearby regarding shops, so take everything you will need. No phone signal on '3'. Only a short distance to Buxton, Matlock, and Ashbourne. Great location for exploring the Peak district.
I would happily stay here again, and the price was very good.

This campsite is a large field at the back of the Miners Standard pub. It is on a slope so some pitches are awkward. The views are amazing, you are in the heart of the Peak District. However, the site is very basic.
Toilets/Showers - There is one shower and one toilet in each male and female block. These are outdoors. In my opinion these were very poor. The ladies toilet had no seat, there was no toilet roll and no soap. They weren't very clean. The shower was also not very clean. The showers are 20p.
A lot of campers were having small fires on the grass so a lot of the pitches had holes where there had previously been a fire.
Vehicles - The owner said vehicles must be left in the car park after pitching up. This was not policed and everyone ignored this rule.
Pot wash area - There was an outdoor sink to wash pots this was not covered at all so if it rains you will get wet.
The Miners Standard pub serves food. This was very average. I had fish and chips which tasted like frozen fish you would buy from a supermarket. The menu looked impressive but the food didn't live up to expectation.
Good location for visiting the peaks so if you want a no frills campsite this is for you.

Split into two reviews:
Site:
Not a good welcome - advised that we could arrive when ever we wanted so arrived at 11 ish. Pub doesn't open until 12 and was advised by the bar man that he wouldn't help until 12. So no clues as to where to pitch etc etc.
Anyway due to the wet weather the field was obviously out of bounds which in the summer would be great siting.
There is a small hard standing area but most is taken up by what look like permanent sited vans.
EHU only available off the pub building so you need a minimum of 30 metres of cable to get to any of the sockets. They will rent you an extension but if busy might struggle.
Toilets and showers (1 male, 1 female) were very clean but had no soap when we stayed.
Pub:
The pub was a good local country pub and once in the staff were very welcoming and so were the locals. The food was of a good standard so no grumbles there and the menu is extensive.
Overall it was a good site but as with other comments I wouldn't want to be there when very busy, and EHU's need to be more easily available.

I was part of a pre booked group of 20 campervan units. There was enough room on the hard standing as long as we parked as if in a car park. Outside loos and showers OK, 20p for a 2 min shower (not bad). Biggest gripe was that the hard standing was covered in a thick sheet of ice and no attempt to grit it was made - it was lethal.
Pub was OK, reasonable range of beers. Prices a bit steep, but I'm used to a Wetherspoons.
Food: Menu looked good but half of the stuff was not available. Annoyingly, food was not available till 7pm on Saturday evening evening though there was 30 of the group wanting to eat (we had after all booked to stay for the weekend). When food arrived it was of a good standard.
Would I return? No

Site well-located at edge of village and elevated with great views over rolling hills and dales. No constant road traffic despite B-road at entrance. Yep, site slopes but not excessive and experienced campers can adjust with head-to-toe pitch with the slope. Flat pitches at entrance next to caravans or at top 150m from toilets. Horses in fields adjacent and man with dogs that could be reported to RSPCA.
The facilities are subjective depending on needs/ expectations. Electricity available and you can have a fire. Pub is open for breakfast. Didn't use any of these. One male and one female toilet area that each have a lockable exterior door and inside a separate toilet and shower (meter) although neither of these have a lock. Kitchen wash facilities are uncovered and no hot water - sink and drainer attached to an exterior wall next to water tap.
Pub staff very friendly and helpful. Booked in advance without deposit and showed site and facilities when arrived in dark on Friday night. Pub warm and friendly although beer bit standard. We didn't try food so cannot comment. We did however try the Bowling Green in village (5 mins walk down East Bank) for excellent food, real ale beer and service. Allowed dog and children in conservatory. Away from log fire, mind :-(
*** Site could potentially accommodate @50 tents (over 100 people) at peak times and I would imagine this is VERY busy for toilet block ***
(((Would definitely return))).
Although ONLY at the fringes of summer camping season. Before early May and after late September.

Lovely site but very basic. Great pub with great food and allowed both of our dogs inside and also gave them free treats. The field was well mown I had no problems as the ground was hard as there had been no rain. My only problem was needing both my hook up leads to be able to reach the power point. Will definitely use the site again. Is ideal for visiting nearby bakewell and matlock also only a short drive to dovedale

Booked site at short notice and managed to pitch the caravan on the hard standing car park/caravan storage at the entrance of the camping field at the back of the pub (at our request because of weather forecast).
The grass camping field although sloped looked well maintained. The owners were very friendly and were able to lend us a hook up extension as there is only one box near the car park.
The toilet facilities were clean but only one toilet and one shower cubicle per block. No locks on either of these internal doors so had to lock the main block door which seemed a bit odd? Had lots of lady campers trying to get in and having to queue whilst I finished my shower - sorry!
The pub toilets were also open though. There were outside washing facilities which we didn't use but no cover for those in tents that may have had to.
The only niggle I would have was that the chemical disposal was just a sewage drain with cover at the side of a shed. No signs and no water to be able to wash anything down - although I did over hear the owners mention they would sort out signage when I asked where it was.
Overall, a lovely little site, fantastic views, walking, lovely pub, food looked good and reasonably priced. People friendly and welcoming. Well behaved dogs allowed in the pub too - he even got a treat! I would definitely return if in the area again.

Spent 2 weeks on the site, found it very good value and the owners very welcoming. Site was sloping, but we managed to get on flat ground at the front of site and therefore easy to use the electric hook up.
Food was lovely in the pub, and the locals were friendly.
The toilet and shower block were clean, but no soap on the sink in the toilet. When site was busy at the weekend, there were queues for the showers as only one male and female.
Would definitely go again.

This was our first time camping with all new gear and tent!
Despite arriving during the worst storm of the summer we loved this site from the start. Very warm and friendly welcome in the pub with all the locals wishing us luck with our first time pitching
Sloping field as said on previous reviews but drained well once the rain stopped, long way from hook ups but no problem to loan long lead from pub (small deposit) our friends were in their caravan on hard standing and also had to have long lead on loan. Pub food and wine extremely good especially the breakfast (yummy).
Fairly basic shower and toilets but very clean (no handsoap in sink though for when using the loo!). There are new loos and showers being built and should be open for August.
The village of Winster is quite lovely, we were lucky enough to be there during Wakes Week and really enjoyed the carnival including decorative floats and amazing Morris Dancers, the local shop is run by the residents and well worth a visit, full of local produce.
Would we visit again. We loved it and are hoping to make it a yearly event during Wakes Week.

Spent three nights here was a lovely location with fantastic views. Site is on a hill but we didn't find this a problem.
It only has a very small toilet block with only one male and one female toilet and one shower in each but as it wasn't a busy time we find this wasn't a problem.
We found it great that you could have your own camp fire and you could buy the wood from a very nice man next to the site for £5-£10, well worth doing. We cooked most of our first nights dinner on our camp fire.
We found this great value for money and we would go back again
Only down side is the cockerel in the farm next door don't think he can tell the time and don't know when to shut up.
Found this a good location to explore the area with plenty to do for all ages. Our dog loved it

This site is in a great location with good views. The pub is friendly and has some great real ales and was very welcoming to our 2 dogs. They were given a treat at the bar when we went in. Good value camping.
The site is sloping but we got a good pitch. There are a few things to watch out for
The hook ups are limited and a long way from tents but you could borrow a long extension for a £35 deposit.
Showers and toilets are clean you need 20p pieces. The is only one shower for each sex and that could be a problem at busy times, The toilet and shower is together which meant queues but you can use pub toilet.

Just Spent three nights at the Miners Standard. We needed hard standing after all the rain which was available just had to hire extra electric hookup cable as it was some distance from the van.
Most of the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
The food was very good and good value for money.
The toilets/showers were clean and tidy but there was only one female and one male. Could be a problem if the site was full. There may have been somewhere to do the washing up but we couldn't find it! Must have been there just hiding!
The site fees were also different from the fees advertised. You need to check the currant rates.
Would we go back there. Not sure.

We have just returned after 3 nights at The Miners Standard, We all had a lovely time!
It has a nice relaxed atmosphere & Every person there was Very friendly and Helpfull.
The site is a sloping field behind the pub well away from the road, with fabulous views, The top part is fairly open, there are more sheltered parts as you come down, We found ourselves a nice sheltered spot about two thirds of the way up the field.
The site allows campfires and dogs (two essentials for us)
I thought the facilities were very good for camping, they have two units, one for men & one for ladies with a toilet, wash basin & nice shower (20p - 3 minutes)in each, All kept spotlessly clean with a good supply of loo rolls and hand paper towels. The back door to the pub is nearby & appeared to be open most of the time so you can use the toilets just inside.
The bin area was not particularly 'nice' but it served its purpose!
Its been a while since I last went camping & apart from the ground being harder than I remember, the main change seems to be the requirements of some people, I sugest that if you like lots of facilities & mod cons then you need to put your hand a bit deeper in your pockets & pay for them!
At £5 per person a night this place is Excellent value for money!
In the warm welcoming bar the drinks were very good & reasonably priced & the food looked delicious! Next time we will bring less food & more money with us! They were very welcoming to our dog who was so spoilt one night with doggie treats from behind the bar I was afraid he might refuse to leave! (one lovely local lady was feeding him her roll with her own home cured bacon and free range egg - never mind the dog - My husband & I were drooling)!
Wood for fires was available to buy next door to the site.
Winster was lovely & just a short walk away with a handy little shop, Easy going down, A good heart pumper coming back up! Some lovely walks all around, The limestone way was very close by.
I thoroughly recommend this place to any-one who wants to get back to proper camping! And your dog will love it too!
