Pitches were mostly flat and were plenty large enough. To have our tent and car on. We were really lucky to be able to choose our pitch.
The wardens give out the rules and regs of the site on arrival but I must say the one about ball games etc is NOT adhered to. We arrived back to find a group of children playing cricket with the stumps very very close to our car. Frisbees also landed on our tent and car.
The Wardens came straight past and didn't ask them to move at all or to stop.
The showers and toilets were perfectly adequate and a coin operated hairdryer gave loads of time for 20pence.
The Sportsman pub was really great particularly for breakfast! Just about a 1 - 2 min walk from the site.
Easy access to Kinder as well as Castleton - Mam tor and further afield in the area.
We had a great stay only marred by a little rain.
Would go again but perhaps pitch away from where these games are likely to be played!
We visited the site with the hope of getting away from it all for the weekend so that we could face the following week feeling refreshed and chilled out! We got exactly that and more. The site is situated in the heart of all that is beautiful about this country, the sound of the river Sett nearby as you drift of to sleep just adding to the experience like icing on very nice cake. The site is close (less than a mile walk along the river) to the lovely village of Hayfield which has an abundance of Pubs, a Bistro and a couple of shops of which my favourite was an old style fruit and veg shop. There is a park on the way into the villiage which is fantastic for the kids it has everything you'd expect a park to have as well as a clean sandpit (couldn't find one of those in many places), tennis courts and a cricket pitch. The shower blocks were clean but if I could make one suggestion it would be to take a seat or something similar in with you to put all your things on, as there is only a small dry area and the seat they provide is always soaking wet also people walking in with outdoor shoes on cause the floor in the dry area to be gritty, a non slip mat would sort that out, and perhaps the showers are more suited to a weekend break than a weeks holiday. Everything else is spot on, the ladies on reception are lovely, the location is idylic and I will be going back and back and back.
What a lovely site. Really peaceful and well laid out. We had a lovely flat pitch. Pub across the road, which lets you take your dog in (The Sportsmans). You can walk to the village along the river, few more pubs, shop and chippy. We ate in The George, nice food and you can take your dog in to the pub too.
There is no play area, but on this occasion we did not have our daughter with us so it wasn't a problem. But I'm sure she would have made her own entertainment as there were lots of children on site.
Toilets were spotlessly clean, the wardens were lovely and helpful and always happy to stop for a chat. Newspapers can be ordered in the shop.
One little thing, they could do with some plug sockets in the toilets. As there is no electric hook up on site I really missed my straightners. I know it sounds sad, but there is no harm in wanting your hair to look okay just because you are camping.
But other than that it was lovely and I would recommend it to anyone.
This was the first CCC site I have stayed at since joining and I was suprised.
Having read the rules about no ball games, no equipment to be left outside of tents (etc etc) I wasn't expecting such a lively and family friendly site.
Having said that it was nice and quiet at night (with exception - see below).
The location is lovely - a great pub very nearby, and a 15 min walk to the local village with more pubs, a few shops and a fish and chip shop.
Also, loads of great walks nearby - both easy and strenuous.
Watch out tho - while we were there, the nearby pub decided it wasn't serving Sunday dinner, because they had been so busy at lunch. It was a busy bank holiday weekend - nevertheless it meant a walk back to the village to eat (where we had just come from). Perhaps it is best to book .
The facilities were warm and clean, and the people running the site were really friendly and helpful.
My one and only 'complaint' was the noise of the planes passing overhead - my camping partner wasn't bothered by the noise, but I was, and I think the valley location amplifies the sound somewhat.
Overall, IMHO, a lively family friendly site, in a great location, busy at bank holidays, and not really so quiet during waking hours.
This site is situated in a fabulous location and surrounded by trees. It was really peaceful, the only sounds being birds, the river, relaxed chatter, children having fun and planes passing overhead (which we didn't consider a problem as you don't seem to notice them out after the first couple).
Hayfield village is a pleasant 10 minute walk along the river and there are a couple of shops and several pubs. We ate at The George (lovely homemade pubgrub, with a special 2 course deal at £6.95) and the Pack Horse (again lovely food, the menu was a bit more restaurant style but the prices were reasonable) Would not hesitate to visit either again.
The toilet/showers/washing up facilities were older and more basic than any other C&CC site we have visited so far, however they were still more than adequate, clean and plenty of hot water.
There isn't a playground on the site, but there is plenty of space for kids to play, and there is a nice playarea along the river walk, just before you reach the village.
We (family of 4) arrived on saturday for the bank holiday weekend.
The staff here are so friendly and treat you like old friends! It was very busy this particular weekend yet we had no neighbours, so the kids did play badminton etc.
The walks from the site are great we didnt need to go out in our van there are walks straight up on to the hills or along the bottom of the valley along the river Sett. We did both.
This site really needs a drying room, we'd been out walking when the rain started and continued for 3 hours we were soaked, but in our campervan there is nowhere to hang anything, or it would have been nice to store our soaked walking boots.
Showers are basic, clean and hot. There were alot of dogs, but none of them were a problem (ie,barking, mess). Our daughter took someones dog for a walk, she thought it was wonderful.
Reception doubles as a shop which sells ice-creams and chocolate as well as other camping food.
Very hot water for the dish washing sinks, which were always nice and clean.
This is a lovely peaceful site set within beautiful scenary. We shall be returning to this site in the near future.
We stayed on the Hayfield site for 3 nights during a tour of the Peak District and loved it. This was one of the most expensive sites we stayed on during the trip but the location and facilities made up for the extra price. We had a very level, riverside pitch which was fantastic. The site was very busy but all facilities were kept spotlessly clean (as you would expect from a C&C Club Site). The wardens were very friendly and helpful. The Packhorse pub was great with a good selection of real ales and fantastic food. Overall I would definitely recommend the site to others.
We visited this site for a weekend. The site was very well kept. This was my first camping trip and I was amazed at how good the facilities were. The toilets and the showers were very clean and not too far away. I was impressed with the washing up station where you took all your pots, pans etc and were able to wash them in hot water, I thought I would have to boil kettles all day. The walk by the river was very good and not too far into hayfield. The first night we went to the Sportsman and had a drink with the children in the beer garden. Very pleasant. We had a meal at the George Hotel on the Saturday night and this was very good as well as reasonably priced. The only critisim of the campsite was that there were no recyling points and we fetched our glass and plastic bottles home because we felt guilty of putting them in with the general rubbish, good job we only went for two days. It was also a little disapointing for the children not to be able to play with their footballs, kites, frisbies etc as these were not allowed on site.
Have just stayed at this site - the two of us and two dogs and we absolutely loved it. It was very quiet - about a dozen campers at the most and the dogs loved the local walks along the river and up the wooded hillside (although they really wanted to chase the semi tame rabbits and ducks that wander the site)
Toilets and showers clean and accessible via a pushbutton keypad. Checking in was easy and straightforward and the wardens pleasant enough.
The Sportsman pub was in walking distance and the staff friendly and welcoming and dogs were welcome although we didn't take ours in - can recommend the food and the wine!
Would recommend this site for touring the peak district, or walking - we did a bit of both.
This was the first time I stayed on a CCC site and although the site itself was very nice it is such a pain to book onto. I had to pay a £25 deposit - I've never had to pay a deposit for camping before! You can't pitch before 12 or arrive later than 8pm and you get allocated a pitch! You are only allowed to park one car by the tent per pitch so if there is a group of you sharing tents (as in our case) you have to park the extra cars in the car park near the toilet block.
The site is flat and well maintained and the toilet and shower facilities clean, although they are closed for 1 1/2 hours every day so there is not really any excuse for them not to be clean!
There is a shop on-site. Hayfield (and pubs) is just a short stroll from the site and its a good area for walking.
This was our first experience of a CCC site, which is approached by some rather narrow roads through Hayfield village.
We arrived for a pre-booked weekend stay 6:30pm Friday night, registration was understandably quite busy, took over 20 mins to be allocated a pitch (which was a little frustrating given that we just wanted to be set up and cracking open the beer.) - only one person registering on a weekend when, by their own admission, they were fully booked. However, the staff were pleasant and friendly, and helpful throughout the weekend. A warning though - the office/shop is only open for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours late afternoon/evening.
The pitch was flat and had plenty of space between units in a long, narrow field, nestling in a valley. Friday evening was very peaceful - despite being busy, the atmosphere was calm and friendly. The arrival of a very large multi-tent family group spoiled the peace and quiet on Saturday (all other families happily respected other campers, so I would hope this is a rare occurrence on this otherwise lovely site).
Toilets were clean and spacious but BEWARE - the hot water is VERY hot! The hot push-tap at the dishwashing facility is too hot to push constantly without the aid of a tea-towel!
The local village is a pleasant walk away with a few pubs serving food, a couple of restaurants and a chippy that shuts before 8pm! The office has a booklet available for £1.40 with a number of walks locally, ranging from 1 hour strolls to the challenging Kinder Scout.
Overall, this is one of the most pleasant sites we have visited. We found the pitch fees to be very reasonable and would definitely return, and are already looking forward to our next stay!
Just returned from a weekend camping trip to Hayfield. This is one of the best site we have stayed at. The service from the site personal is first class. The toilet and showers facilities are always clean and tidy with plenty of hot water. The allocated pitches are very spacious. The location of the camp site is great, the views of the hills are breath taking. The village of hayfield is about a five minute walk away. We can definitely recommend the Skillet restaurant, behind the church. The food was excellent and the restaurant owner could not do enough to make us feel more welcome, I have never laughed so much. On the whole We will definitely be returning the Hayfield.
This was our first camping trip and it was excellent. We can't fault it and will definetaly be going again.
The site was quite busy but everybody just seemed to get on. There was plenty of space to each tent/motor home. The facilities were really good. Showers and toilets always very clean. Washing up facilities also good, mega hot water so easy to clean up those greasy fry ups.
There's not play area but this didn't pose a problem to my kids, they really enjoyed the whole weekend.
The walk down to the village is very nice. Excellent chippy there. We also had a meal at the Bull. This was very good value and they were very pleasant, even allowing our big dog through the bar to the beer garden. For a small village they seem to have everything you could want 4 pubs, chippy, PO newsagents even a hairdressers.
There are some lovely walks all around. We did the Sett Valley Trail but will be back to do some of the others.
I'd give this site and location 10/10 great value and couldn't have asked for more. Thanks
Three of us stayed at this campsite over the spring bank holiday weekend with a view to having a lovely ramble up on Kinder. Unfortunately the weather conspired against us and we spent most of the weekend on the site itself.
We arrived to check in and, yes, there were a few problems with the computerised booking system but at least it was warm and dry in the shop / office and we got a chance to check out the contents of the shop while we waited. It sells pretty much all you'll need in the way of food and it's not bad value either. They also sell gas and a few other basics and there are guides to the area as well. The shop also displays the local weather in the window and this showed that the temperature on top of Kinder Scout was going to feel like minus 9 with the wind chill factor. Needless to say we began to think twice about that walk!
After we'd booked in (during which time a not inconsiderable queue had formed in the small shop) we were directed to our pitches by one of the wardens. We pitched up and although the warden supervised and told us to move a bit further apart (our tents were not seperated by the regulation 6 metres) we didn't feel unwelcome or uncomfortable.
The pitches are a good size but with quite stony ground a couple of inches down. We were at the top end of the site and our pitches backed onto an adjoioning field (into which our frisbee immediately sailed) which swept up the side of a hill to a wooded slope, beyond which is the broad expanse of Kinder, just seen through the trees.
When we woke to a windy and wet morning we didn't end up walking, we just stayed in and played I spy and 20 questions instead. When the rain did ease off a bit and we ventured outside we saw an RAF rescue helicopter hovering low above William Clough and decided that we'd probably made the right decision in staying put.
The toilet block was very clean, lovely and warm and the free (i.e. No time limit) hot shower on a cold rainy day was delightful. We even followed the request posted inside the toilet block to mop out the shower cubicles after we'd finished, despite paying £11 each per night (non-members, you see) and, as has been mentioned before, the block being closed for a good hour a day for cleaning.
The Sportsman pub down the road is really quite nice. We spent both nights in there and enjoyed the welcoming staff and atmosphere. We also enjoyed our meal there on the Saturday but turned up too late for food on the Sunday. Apparantly they stopped serving at 7 to allow for the weekly pub quiz. We entered and although we didn't win, we didn't embarass ourselves too much!
I'd stay here again, although probably only if I join the CCC as otherwise it is a bit pricey.
