 I've been to this site twice this month, and both experiences have been very different.
As ohter reviewers have said, there are three fields, one which has caravans, then a small field for tents and a very large field for tents. We opted for the furthest field both times. The first trip, and the reason for going back, was lovely.
There were maybe a dozen tents in the far field, well spaced out, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. There was some noise from the quarry, and at 9.15am on our second morning there was a siren before they blasted some rock, but other than that it wasn't too bad.
There was hot water for dishes, toilets seemed fine and clean, with soap and paper towels. The men's loo is not pleasant to walk past, as you can actually see men going to the loo, not so good when I had my three year old granddaughter there. More privacy there would be a good thing.
At night there are lots of wildlife noises, but that was a lovely thing to have, and coupled with the fact that campfires are allowed, the ambience was really pleasant. The site owners are very nice and friendly people, they go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need.
So to this weekend. Having decided I didn't want to drive too far for the Bank Holiday, we rang Middle Hills and were happy to find out they'd had a couple of cancellations. I expected it to be busy. What I did not expect was the amount of groups that were allowed onto the site. Groups of families, groups of men, making the site look like it had been divided into mini villages.
Suffice to say, we left a day earlier than we planned.
I would go back, but out of the holidays. The location is lovely, there are some great places to visit in the locality. But this is definitely a site for noisy people!

I am new to camping so a bit nervous to be honest, great campsite! Lots of space and was able to pitch up where we wanted.
My little boy aged 5 loved the play area and I could keep an eye on him from our tent which meant I could relax with my glass of wine!
Only 10 min drive to Matlock for lovely Fish & Chips.
Toilets where very clean and tidy and the lady who looked after them was lovely.
The pigs are also a good attraction and loved the left over bread and strawberrys.
We have already booked again to go with the family at the end of August.
I would highly recommend this site.

The field has a slight slope and can be a little exposed to the wind depending on where you pitch.
The track on the campsite was a little dusty.
The facilities are good,we found the showers excellent,but probably due to the site being very busy the hot water in the mens toilet block and sinks were luke warm for a few hours on Saturday night.
The toilet was kept clean and tidy.
The kids loved the play area.
There was a bit of noise coming from the nearby quarry.
We found the staff very friendly and helpful.
There is a chemist and local shops a few miles away and an excellant fish and chip shop and local pub.
We will be visiting again soon

This camp site is very spacious. The ground is flat which makes it easy to pitch a tent. The people are friendly and yes the toilets and showers are cleaned often by a very pleasant lady. The showers are charged at 20p a minute which I find a bit over the top [unless you can be quick ha ha] The pub is within easy walking distance,and its not a bad little place and yes they do serve food, just be aware it does get very busy on Friday and Saturdays,[the camp site that is] as it was completely full. But on the Sunday only 3 of us were left, so it would be peaceful until Friday comes round again. They could do with a few more toilets though but over all I would go back. By the way they charge 6 pound per person per night which can get a bit expensive if a few camp together but not bad if there is only a couple of you.

Great campsite, plenty of room, even though there were quite a few people there, there was plenty of room between pitches and areas for kids to play. The toilets and showers facilities were nothing exceptional but they were clean and all in working order.
There was a playpark for children which looked clean and well maintained. The campsite is very close to Matlock and Bakewell and within a 10 minutes walk to a pub.

We went with 2 family groups with 3 children 3yrs and under. The site was very busy on the Friday & Saturday nights with a number of large and noisy groups who pitched very close to us.
There was loud music played until at least 1am and shouting and conversation loud enough to keep you awake. There appeared to be no site rules about keeping quiet after hours despite the site advertising as being 'family friendly'.
The children's play area was great and kept the kids entertained.
Toilet facilities were clean but ran out of hot water by about 8am.

Great site that my family have been to about 5 times now. However this time the visit was not the best. There were a number of large groups on site which played very loud music late into the night (2.30 am), scattered rubbish every where, used foul language and generally used the site as a party venue! N
Now for the positive things. This was only on Saturday night and the first night we stayed was fine. The owners did try to calm things down but weren't very successful.
The facilities are great and always clean and tidy. The kids loved the play ground. I hope this was a one off - as I would hate to not be able to go to this lovely site again.

Campsite had lots of room even though there were plenty there!
Shower block was lovely an clean! Toilets were fine and had loo roll! Sinks trickled water especially when people were filling up there water carriers! But who really cares!
Local pub was good as it sold magners! We had a ride out to dove dale and did a lovely walk along the river! Great for families lots were enjoying picnics!
Bakewell was well worth a visit too!
Great site an we are returning with family next month! Already booked

We have just had a lovely weekend at this campsite. The cleaning lady is very friendly and is doing an excellent job, as the showers and toilets were spotless. It was only our second time caravanning and the pitches were on a slight slope but was fine. We did hear the quarry but it was definitely background noise and was not intrusive. I have two young children aged 4 and 2, they never mentioned the noise. The play area was a great hit and obviously they loved the animals too. The only criticism is the showers were not very strong and my two girls fought over the trickle coming out, maybe a bigger shower for families, with a constant water supply (not a push button) would be worth thinking about. All in all a lovely stay and we will return

Very nice campsite in a great location. Refreshing to be able to pitch up where we wanted to and to be allowed a campfire.
I didn't once hear any noise from the quarry that is near by.
There was always hot water when I wanted a shower and they were always kept very clean, as were the toilets. The only problem was that you had to constantly hold the button in to get water from the shower, which was a bit troublesome. Could also have done with another set of toilets as there were always queues first thing in the morning.
It is within walking distance to the pub
All in all a nice campsite, excellent value for money. The owners were very helpful and friendly and hopefully we will be coming back soon.

We enjoyed our stay here and our 3 year old loved the park and the pigs!
The facilities seemed to be hugely in favour of men. The ladies toilet block (in the park field) is much smaller than the men's block. It has a motion sensor by the door which activates the light. I made the mistake of going to the loo after cleaning my teeth and ended up being plunged into darkness! The light only came back on when I went out of the door. The men's light stayed on much longer (less than a minute for the ladies, several minutes for the men).
The ladies showers all worked on a push button which ONLY stayed on while being held (at my head height, so not easy on the wrist) - and yes I did try all of them(!) whereas the mens showers stayed on over 10 seconds per push, leading to a much more enjoyable shower.
It was nice to have washing up facilities, but the water was lukewarm most times that we used it.
The quarry noise was quite invasive, especially having just been camping in a very peaceful spot at Edale.
Although the play park was really good and the campsite as a whole was nice enough, we wouldn't return as the showers just made me grumpy!

We have been regular visitors to this site over the last couple of years and have to say it's our favourite. The owners being friendly and easy going to make you feel 'at home' from the start.
Pick your own spot
Fires allowed with a pit
Panoramic views
Showers, toilets spot on
Great new play area for kids
Pigs to feed
Horses/cows usually in next field
Most importantly there is a sensible 'full up' limit set, that still allows plenty of room and facility capabilities.
Pub for food down the road, tricky if walking though.
Good walking /cycling area near to Matlock,
Bakewell, Cromford And smaller villages
Also very reasonably priced.
We will be going back and would recommend.

What a fab little find. Booked for 5 nights. Went to reception where we were met paid the fee which was very cheap just £100 for 6 of us.
Toilets etc pointed out and told to pitch wherever we liked.
Toilets, showers, wash basins exceptionally clean, always had hot water and never had to que. Always loo roll handwash and hand towels As the weekend approached I noticed some portaloos appear in the other field which was a very good idea.
Park a great hit with the kids and so were the pigs horses and cows. Plenty of space for the kids to run round and play ball games
The site was very busy towards the end of our stay with 2 large parties, 1 VW campervan meet then the usual families. Noise was still kept to a minimum.
I read the reviews about the quarry. And thought oh no. But you only ever noticed it when someone mentioned it and did not spoil anything. Or maybe we just drank too much to notice.
You do require a car as there is not a lot around the site Bakewell being 8 1/2 mile and Matlock 7 Mile both with fantastic things to do for the kids
If I had to be picky then the grass could have been slightly shorter. A drain under the tap where you fill up as this made the area muddy as water flowed over meaning it was walked into the toilets although you would not know as I'm sure the cleaner was there every 5 minutes I'm sure this was also caused by the water fight some of the other children had. Maybe move the tap to the back of the toilets. Also a freezer available for ice packs that you could use yourself to save keep going back to the owners asking
All in all a fantastic site and we will definitely return.

My family and I attended this site for our second time. We loved the site the first time - hence our return. On this occasion I was distressed to find that fires had to be in a basket but after a brief chat with Liz the owner I fully understand why and support her on it. That aside its great that a fire is still acceptable as many sites have stopped this which, puts us off from attending.
The addition of the kids play area has really improved the site from a family perspective. The toilets never ran out of paper, soap or hand towels. They were always spotless which is a real achievement as the site was absolutely chock full. The cleaner, (whose name escapes me, too much beer when I saw her) was a lovely lady who put a lot of effort in for other peoples benefit. (we thank her for that)
Showers were always spotless and red hot, again despite the size of crowd. Some ladies had to queue but then they all went at the same time!
Overall I would recommend this site to any well- behaved, responsible campers. We think it is fantastic and we have been to a few.

Just arrived back from Middlehills camp site, had a truly wonderful time, met Liz and from the start she was friendly, helpful and helped to make our impromptu camping trip a real delight.
The campsite is truly beautiful, the girls loved the pigs and was bowed over by the cows who walked past us twice a day! Although it is sited near to a quarry I can honestly say that the noise didn't affect us at all.
Cant say what the best bit was, the fact we had such a spacious site, or the beautiful surroundings or the campfire where we toasted marshmallows and crumpets!
My girls were so upset that we had to come home but cheered up when we said we will soon be visiting again!
