 Our first real camping trip, ( me and wife ) to christen our new tent. Location of site is great,
So much within easy reach. Dovedale, Chatsworth, Bakewell, and even managed the start of the Pennine way at Edale, and Limestone Way passes in next field.
Booked in for 2 nights, but ended up stopping 6 !
Very good value, but minimal toilet / shower facilities ( but are clean ), and not a lot for kids to do.
Make sure you have long lead for hook up. Although
Extension can be borrowed ( deposit needed )
Very friendly staff and Great food at their pub, recommend the mixed grill.
If ever we get back to this part of the country would definitely pay another visit.

I liked this site, although as Francophile says, it does have basic facilities (although obviously newly decorated and very spacious) which could be a problem if the site was really full. However, the pub is open from early in the morning so the pub toilets are available.
The shower (it was either £1 or 50p, I can't remember now) was excellent and, because it was everything in one (shower, toilet, washbasin - and somewhere outside the shower cubicle to put your clothes) there was plenty of room. The shower ran for 10 minutes, though, which I thought was excessive.
The pub was cosy and friendly and the food was good. They serve an excellent breakfast for about £5. The beer garden was behind the pub and the electric pitches just beyond that with no boundary. The camping field was huge but sloping. The pub also does B&B which was about £35 a night.
The village is a pleasant 10 minutes walk away and is very pretty, although downhill so it's a steep walk back!
Chatsworth House is about 15/20 minutes drive and is an excellent day out.
I would go back.

Cheap at £6. 50 a night without hook-up, but definitely needed more toilets and showers. Gents only had one toilet, one wash basin and one shower.
However, the only lock was on the outside door so, if someone was using the toilet or shower, the other wasn't available - very nicely tiled out though. Site is very sloping, so my levelling ramps couldn't cope.
Pub is very reasonable, food was good and staff very friendly. Access road has some deep potholes and I heard several vehicles bottoming out on them.
Would I go back? - not sure yet!

This place is easy to find though we did drive past the campsite entrance and into the pub entrance, but there was enough space to turn!
We pre-booked our pitch, which may be advisable if you need electric due to there only being a few points - all located on the one wall so you need a good length cable.
It was 10. 50 p/n for 2 people, 1 dog, camper, awning and hookup - which to me is great value.
My only complaint would be - there is nowhere to wash up and though I saw 3 standpipes - there is no where to empty buckets of washing up water. If the owners put even an outside sink somewhere then this would give a better score.

Back from the Miners following a glorious weekend (25 degrees)
Things to note since last year. The price increase (boo hoo)
£5 per adult (Was £2)
£2 per child (Was £1)
Still only 1 male and 1 female shower and toilet though - It really could do with more. And more bins. It wasn't as busy as usual (maybe due to the price increase) but the bins were over flowing by Monday.
Not impressed by the grumpy lady on the boules team moaning at the children who were watching either. Lets hope she was from a different pub team and also lost :-P

Ideally placed for seeing Derbyshire. Matlock and Bakewell 5 miles away Sloping field for campers. Gravel hardstanding for tourers. One shower and toilet for each sex. Showers 20 pence for 3 mins. Pub facilities were open first thing in morning.Good ale food looked good. Winster lovely olde world place with history. Plenty of walks around. Ideal for overnight or two day stop.

Just returned from a mid week break. Because the weather was warm we were able to go for walks and sit out side. The village is very pretty with a well stocked shop. Walking to the village meant walking up and down steep hills, although we found it challenging anyone that is in the least infirm will find it impossible.
The camp site is behind the local pub, which sells excellent real ale, and home cooked food. The staff were very helpful and made us welcome. The only criticism is that the electrics on the site are of a poor standard

Our second camp this year at the Miners Standard.
I've found the loo's to be open in the pub when the pub is shut - certainly in the morning - the door is stiff - so needs a good push.
The shower and toilets are always clean (the water does collect in the shower but I take my boys down in their croc's - so no issue).
Food at the miners is hearty pub fodder - the Lamb Shank was delish this time.
The staff even have dog chews for doggies :-)
A great relaxed site which permits BBQ's and fires. Next door to the pub, you can buy a bag of logs for £4.50 so we had some great campfires.
We did have a couple of hellishly windy nights up near the top of the field - so top tip - if the forecast is windy - camp as close to the pub as you can - we would have moved (as we stayed for a week) but we couldn't be chewed with the hassle of moving everything) - weekend with friends and during the week by ourselves and it wasn't at all full (for school hols).
We'll definitely be back again.

Stayed their this weekend,a basic campsite with a very friendly atmosphere.Owners very pleasant children and dog friendly.
Pub food was exceptional (try mixed grill )all home made with a good selection to suit all tastes.And a good pint of stones to boot.
Very good surroundings, the village very nice local shop open till 7pm only disappointment in the village was the 2nd pub was closed until 6pm.
The walk back from winster is very steep. Winster only 5 miles from Bakewell and Matlock overall I will go back and at £2 pppn I only wish I had heard about this place years ago.

Cheap it is! But not always cheerful. I politely asked a lady about the showers cost and was told '20p for 3 minutes and £1 for 6 minutes.' I was then accused of arguing when I queried this. Is it me?
Basic it is! With one shower each for men and women. Although the pub facilities always seemed to be available. If you want an electric hook up it is available, but bring a LONG lead, I needed 2x25m cables and that was just enough, but I was pre-warned.
Overall I would recommend this site. At the price how could I not! And the Derbyshire Dales are truly beautiful.

A very basic campsite, but very low cost so great value for money. When the pub is open the pub loos are available. But outside pub hours there's only one ladies and one men's loo and each share with their own shower, so if either shower is in use the adjoining loo is locked. Having said that, there was never a queue and it's only £2.
The pub food was good, although the dining room was a bit canteen-ish.
Winster is a lovely village with loads of history and the walking and cycling around the area is second to none.

Very friendly and cheap campsite. We have just had 2 nights at the Miners and had a great time. Its a large field behind the pub away from the road and car park, so no noise. We booked very late Thursday for Friday and Saturday nights.Also we needed 3 tent pitches for the weekend. They had room and when we arrived they we're great.
As the other reviews have said their is only 2 toilet and shower sets, 1 male and 1 female. A word of warning is that the lock in on the outer door, as I did walk in on someone on the loo, Sorry if your reading this. But when the pub is open you can use the back doo r to the pub and use the toilets in there.
Main positives of the site are: Friendliness, location to Matlock, Buxton, Bakewell and Ashbourne, site is great for the children to play, and the cost is only £2pppn and £1 for children and a really nice traditional pub setting. We'll all be back soon.

Can't add much to what everyone else has put, a great relaxed site, ideal for us having a friends' reunion with some campers and some non-campers (in the B&B for £25pppn). Pub grub and beer very good, atmosphere friendly. A shame about the limited loos/showers but what's there is good and clean.
Also bonus marks for the village shop (a way down the hill) being open until 7pm Mon-Sat.
Incredible value for money. Would highly recommend and will probably be back!

Very basic but very nice campsite which consists of one large field behind pub (didn't feel like back garden though which was great). Booked in for May 1/2 term week and when we arrived on the Saturday, the whole perimeter of the field was taken and so we were forced to pitch up in the middle which we weren't too happy with but turned out perfectly ok. Slope looked worse from a distance and once pitched up didn't prove a problem.
2 toilets (1 mens/1 ladies) both outside with showers were hot and cost 20p for 5mins, but often no toilet paper which again once we realised didn't prove a problem as we had some ourselves. Plenty of room to put up badminton net and to play footy. They did pitch up a marquee on the Friday night before we left, on ground between camping field and pub that was for a wedding that went on til 2am, but again we were enjoying a real fire using the rocks and wood we'd collected after arriving and had a BBQ til late hours so didn't bother us and we enjoyed the music, but might have been problem for some.
The owners very helpful and friendly to the point we wanted to treat them to a box of After Eights as a thankyou. Showers, toilets, space and good views with a pint on tap when you want it - and all at 2 pound per person per night - we thought was extremely good value. Would go back.

What a fantastic Site!Very cheap at £4.50 a night without hook up and only £6.50 a night with hook up.
Really enjoyed our stay here over the bank holiday. When we arrived there was even an icecream man doing the rounds on the site - the kids loved it! A very relaxing site with some lovely walks. Owners really nice and welcoming. Pub is lovely with great food and good prices and welcomes Kids and dogs.
The only downsides I would say are there's only 2 toilets and 2 showers (kept very clean might I add) for the whole of the campsite and bins were overflowing onto the field - but what do you want for £4.50 a night?
Will definitely go back.
