Date of Visit: May 2007 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Happycamper4 1 review from this member

 Fantastic site very friendly nothing too much trouble. Visited as a large group all families all accommodated together, with plenty of space generous pitch sizes. Didnt feel cramped at all. Even the dismal weather didn't spoil our week. Very safe for children, lots of space for them to play. Camping pitch very central to toilet/shower block, great dishwashing facility covered over and plenty of hot water. Clean toilet/showers plenty of hot water kept clean (a hard job considering the amount of mud/rain). FREE SHOWERS. Great shop stocking all the necessities at reasonable prices, freezer for freezing ice packs. Great location for visiting all the Peak District. We cant wait to re-visit in the summer holidays and hopefully avoid the rain this time.

Reviewer: Amandawilliams 8 reviews from this member

 Lovely site, great staff, but only two showers in the bottom field which seemed to be used by two fields. Dont know how many showers were in the top block but it didnt look that big. Constant queues and it was a fairly quiet weekend. Even still it was a lovely site. But we wont be returning. 


Date of Visit: April 2007 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Tintre 1 review from this member

 A lovely site with warm friendly staff. Was very quiet well kept and great facilities.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing time. Pitch was nice and flat but would recommend strong pegs though.
Other than on-site shop which does stock what you need, the nearest shops or takeaways are a good 10 miles in either direction.
Take your essentials.
Had a lovely time and will return, 


Date of Visit: April 2007 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Doc-dm 4 reviews from this member

 A lovely site divided into four main area's, up the top are mobile homes, then there is a sloping field for tents only, below this is a sloping field with hardstandings and hookups for caravans only and finally there is the bottom field which is pretty flat. The camping field is on quite a slope, I do not think it would be easy to spend a comfortable night there. The main caravan field was pretty tightly packed in regimented rows and it did look a bit of a squash. However the bottom field where we were is lovely. there are a number of hook ups and hard standings for caravans and then there is plenty of grass for tents etc without hook ups. There are two nice, clean toilet blocks both with free large showers with plenty of hot water (but sometimes not much pressure). The owners are very helpful and the whole site had a lovely friendly atmosphere. The site was nice and quiet at night despite there being quite a large caravan rally in the bottom field when we were there and is very tranquil during the day. It is very popular with families, so if you have kids there are plenty of others for them to play with. Since almost everyone who is going to be there will have a car, its location is ideal for getting to all parts of the White Peak and the Tissington Trail passes close by for those of a cycling disposition.

Reviewer: Lornaw1500 2 reviews from this member

 Booked this site last minute in August bank holiday week, and stayed for 2 nights with my children. First time we have been camping, owners couldn't be more helpful. Lovely free showers and the price was very reasonable. Shop was well stocked and very reasonably priced. This site is a bit remote but if you have a car no problems. Very well lit and very clean. Cannot recommend enough as everybody on site spoke to me and my children which I appreciated.  Everybody must visit this site very ideal for campers even though it is on a slope, please go will definitely be going back myself with my kids!

Reviewer: St2006 2 reviews from this member

 We spent a relaxing weekend here and really enjoyed it. The site wasn't too packed, but I don't think there are enough showers to cope with busy weekends. The toilet blocks were always clean and the staff were really friendly.The site is attractive, but the location was not as nice as other sites. All walks were a car journey, but well worth it. The local pub is only a ten minute walk. Our only issue was the sloping pitch. It seemed that most of the site was sloping, so we didn't get much sleep and were tired for the entire stay. Overall I would recommend the site - especially since it is very reasonablt priced.

 Nice pleasant site situated almost exactly half way between Buxton and Ashbourne - great location for exploring the surrounding area.

We turned up early on the day, and could pick our own pitch, none were marked - the site was fully booked, but didn't seen over packed which was nice. We were placed on the top part of the site near the shop and toilet block - ground had quite a slope to it. Overall, nice well maintained site.

Reviewer: Stephen Mason 1 review from this member

 We spent three nights at Newhaven, and wouldn't hesistate to go back. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Toilets were kept clean and showers were free. (no charge, as mentioned in previous review, unless this was just the top toilet block, which we didn't use?). Childrens play area a bit muddy. Only criticism, more than one hot tap between three sinks in the pot washing area would have been useful.

Reviewer: Paulsere 2 reviews from this member

 Arrived for a long weekend, this was our first camping trip with our new tent, although the weather wasn't very good we thoroughly enjoyed it, there were two shower and toilet blocks which were cleaned every day and the showers were free, there was a bit of a walk to the washing up area which had plenty of hot water, there was also a small shop with everyday essentials. The only downside was that we had to pitch on the sloping field as we were only there for three nights the flat field was for campers stopping five nights and above. There was a children's play area which the kids loved, I would definitely go again.

Reviewer: Shell39 3 reviews from this member

 Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was really clean and pleasant place and an excellent base to all the sights. Dovedale was one of my kids favourite, climbing up Thorpe Cloud and paddling in the Dove. The field we were on was very slightly sloping next to caravans but it didn't cause a problem. There was another field which was level and one that was quite slopped which I was glad we weren't on.
People who run camp site very friendly and helpful. You'll definitely receive a warm welcome.
All in all an excellent holiday and will go back next year as there is still lots more to see.

Reviewer: Jools1959 2 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a 4 night stay. It rained almost the whole time, but we still enjoyed this site. The lower field definitely best for tents. Found all the facilities above average.

Excellent for exploring Buxton, Ashbourne and Matlock. Within easy reach of Castleton, for all the caverns.

Big downside for us was our visit to Carriages Restaurant, where we were charged £87 for a 2 course meal for 2 adults and 3 children. Hubby still recovering!  


Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Neilsden 5 reviews from this member

 Just back from newhaven. What a beautiful caravan site, a bit packed in but not too bad. The showers/toilets were very clean and free hot showers allday was a rare treat. The owners were very friendly and the onsite shop was well equipped but not with the things you need, although they do sell beer and wines, and a small freezer with sausages and burgers, bread,milk etc. The wild life seemed tame and plentiful which kept the dog entertained, and the site is ideally situated for Bakewell/buxton and matlock. You must visit the tram museum we had a great day out at the 1940' themed weekend.

Reviewer: THE KICK INSIDE 7 reviews from this member

 I have actually been here twice. The first time when the site allowed the 4*4 club I belong to to host a 'meet' there - on that occasion I only attended for the day. The second time was recently when I dragged out van up there to get my sister in law out with a trailer tent that she has but hadn't used for a while.

Very pleasant site, but very little to do immediately in the vicinity (unless you want to take your 4*4 green laneing!).

the second visit was only an overnight, and due to other family members joining us and alcohol being consumed my exact memory's of the showers/toilets are a bit hazier than they might otherwise be, but everyone enjoyed the site and nothing stood out.

Nice site shop selling the basics.and some not so basic stuff!

good site, nice people!

Reviewer: Snakebite51 1 review from this member

 Great site, lovely location, nice and level.

Showers and toilets spotless. Would maybe benefit from a few more things on the children's play park, but its such a nice site, the kids seemed happy enough anyway.

Price wise, exceptional, good pub across the road with superb food.

Definitely be back again!

Reviewer: Gary malin 1 review from this member

 This site is in a great location for visiting the Peak District. It's well looked after and the toilets and showers are clean. There are just 3 sinks for washing up so you sometimes have to queue.

The area to pitch your tent has quite a slope - be sure to pitch at the top or your tent and/or car will be bombarded with footballs, frisbee's and the odd bike or two!

Although this is a lovely site we didn't find the peace and tranquillity we were hoping for. If you have kids they'll have a great time here, if like us you don't I wouldn't recommend visiting in the school holidays - check out the adult only sites!
