What a wonderful site if you want to go away and switch off ( as we needed to do! ) Stayed here for a weekend in May, on arrival wardens very friendly and helpful. Given a map on the site and directed to our pitch.
When we went around 10 caravans on site but it was extremely peaceful, could hardly hear the road that is mentioned in previous reviews. Toilets were spotlessly clean and full recycling to.
Asbourne is a lovely town to visit 5 miles away.
We would definitely use this site again as we and our 3 year old loved it
We visited over Easter Bank Holiday and it rained and rained was wet a boggy but the owners were tireless in the endeavours to make life as easy as possible for all the guests.
Set in a quiet location with a bike track for the kids and secured dog run the site is well maintained and clean.
The toilets washing facilities showers etc were of very high standard and despite the campsite been nearly full there was never much of a queue and they were always clean and warm.
Despite the weather very much enjoyed as a quiet retreat
Just back from an Easter weekend stay at this pleasant and easy to find site. We received a very friendly, speedy and helpful welcome. Set among trees (as the name suggests) the pitches are spacious, level and close to hook-up points.
No feeling of being crowded although it was quite a busy weekend. The showers are clean (push type) and with plentiful hot water. The dog walking area is small but functional, and being a fenced in section of the site, dogs are allowed off-lead here.
There is a handy M&S food a couple of miles down the road towards Ashbourne, which is itself well-served with supermarkets (Co-op, Waitrose and Sainsburys that we saw) plus some proper butchers and some very nice independent shops(loved Sticky Fingers). Good base for the Peaks.
A few hours at Carsington Water, a fantastic resource, popular with dog-owners, where you can hire a bike is recommended. If you aren't so fit, go for the electric bike. It's fantastic. A 2 hour rental of one plus a conventional bike cost £24 which we thought was reasonable. Can get round the whole lake in this time.
A visit to the Heights of Abraham is also worthwhile - if only for the cable car. Dogs allowed in too!
Back to the site - the road noise was not a problem and is quiet at night. A very nice site to which we would return with no hesitation.
When visiting a site for the first time one really does not know what to expect. Previous reviews I would say had been mixed, but as we specifically wanted this area of Derbyshire we decided to 'go for it'.
We found the site easy enough, Carol the warden was in reception, welcome very warm and friendly, checking in procedure very straight forward. Map with pitch marked and also water points etc. A good touch. After a little disagreement with the gatepost we found our lovely pitch to be ample in size for van, awning and car.
There is an amazing feeling of calm on the site, lovely and quiet - excluding the acorns bombing the van on a frequent basis. So while the rest of the country were holed up riding out the last of Hurricane Katya, we were enjoying the delights of the Peak district.
Showers and toilets were immaculate, push button showers were hot and not too annoying. Loved the fact that walks on site were 'dog friendly' and the dog run.
Added to this compared with most sites much less expensive
Well we booked this site due to proximity to Alton Towers as it is 15 min drive, we could drop off teenage daughter and friend and come back and relax.
We booked in and told to drive around and pick an empty pitch, we picked number 1, went back to office and told we could have that pitch, so levelled van and got awning up. Then over walks warden to say sire already booked and we had to move, after a long drive we had set up and already thinking of the wine cooling!
So our first 20 mins were not great, my wife was very angry, however, after that have to say the site is quiet, very very clean, staff very helpful, showers great (wish they lasted more than half a minute).
The site is close to alton towers, about 15 mins if you use country lanes, however a tip for you. The cheapest tickets for alton towers are from ashbourne tourist information, pay for the at TIC office, 2 for 1 and single tickets costs £30, also you can get second day at alton towers for only £10. So £50 to keep 2 teenagers happy for 2 days and give you some peace and quiet. What more could you ask!
All pitches are stony hard standing, which makes it a bit hard under foot and for sleeping in awning. Nightmare to get tent pegs in. But we really liked the site and would recommend it!
We stayed here for a rainy weekend in July - and I suspect we would have got more out of its woodland setting had the weather been better. As it was, we didn't really spend any time walking round the local area but went everywhere by car.
The site is small, quiet and compact with clearly defined pitches. The staff were helpful and friendly and the 6pm departure time was an unexpected luxury .
The facilities were clean, despite the wet weather, and we didn't have to queue. There was no extra charge for EHU or showering - though the showers drove me potty as each button press resulted in not much more than 10-15 seconds of water at a time (it took a fair while to get both me and my four year old clean at the same time!).
However, the water was hot and the instructions about mopping out the showers seemed to be well observed.
Just back from 2 weeks at Woodland Caravan Park. 1st week very quiet, 2nd week (start of school holidays) a bit noisier!
This was probably the cheapest campsite we have stayed at, and the wardens are extremely friendly and welcoming. The site has a foreign look about it with pitches nestled in the trees - pitches are big with space in between.
The facilities are fairly basic and probably let the site down slightly. Push button showers and taps get a bit frustrating after two weeks, especially showers that cut out after 20 seconds! And a shelf/tray would be handy, rather than putting your stuff on the floor.
The lights are also on a timer and always went out before I finished a shower, leaving you in darkness!
Showers aside there is a small fenced-off dog walk (although on the 2nd week a group of campers were letting their dogs run 'free' in this and not clearing up their mess), and there is a walk from the site.
There is no specific play area, therefore kids end up playing in the woods amongst the pitches. The sheltered nature of the site also means that even when the sun is out there is limited direct sunlight.
The site is on a B road but the busy A515 runs past one end of the site (you can see a roadside snack van from the site), there was certainly road noise at night which would probably be worse the further up the site you are. A neighbours dog barking through the night didn't help! And the nearby race track and airport ensures that there is plenty of noise at weekends, though not overly intrusive.
The site is very close (approx 10 mins) to Alton Towers and 5 mins from Ashbourne, though a little far away from the Peak District delights (30 mins to Buxton).
In summary this would be a nice site to use as a stopover or couple of nights but perhaps avoid longer stays (and school holidays!) due to the limited facilities. This site is relaxed and there is none of the 'regimented' feel often associated with CC sites, though there is a transient feel about the residents.
What a great site set in the woods, the younger members of our party loved playing making dens and tree climbing, good enclosed dog walk where you can let your dog run loose
On arriving at the site friday evening we were met by a very warm welcome and didn't even need to ask our normal question can we stay later on sunday pm as leaving early always seems pointless on a weekend break, as we were informed we could stay till 6pm on our departure day.
Toilets modern & clean as were the showers, lots of water points round the site, will definitely use this site again.
We loved, loved, loved this site. Very easy to find, quiet when not too many children are on the site, but set in the most beautiful surroundings. It was just so nice to be 'in the woods'.
Toilet and shower block were clean and tidy and plenty of hot water. Washing up facilities and laundry facilities were good and there was also a microwave available to use which was a super thought.
The owners were really helpful and very pleasant and we will definitely be returning.
Dog walking was excellent and the local village very picturesque and quaint.
No play area for children but that wasn't a priority for us.
Very first outing in our newly acquired, very old motorhome to test it out, so only 40 minutes from home.
If this is the standard of caravan sites, we shall be well pleased.
Lovely wooded surroundings made pitch feel really private - lying on settee I could see nothing but surrounding trees!
Good, clean facilities, helpful wardens and 6pm leaving made it first class, together with reasonable fees, compared to many sites I have looked at since.
Only negative might be lack of shop for basics.
Good for dogs with fields for walks.
Clifton is nearest village - good 1 hour walk across fields, but lovely village with pub, local shop.
Ashbourne is great for shopping. Lots of nice charity shops and places to eat.
Well what can we say. 100% as usual. A warm welcome to new wardens Carole and Tony who are doing a grand job at keeping the site clean, fresh and spotless.
Read the reviews below and go and see for yourselves. The site is very rustic, set in the woods, very well lit at night with an immaculate toilet and shower block, laundry room re-cycling bins, enclosed dog walking area, EHU, plentiful water points, CDP
Just a five minute drive from Ashbourne town ( M&S simply food / Sainsbury's) and 15 minutes from Carsington water/ Tissington trail. And just perfect if you want to get away from it all. Our boys love it there with their bikes
What a cracking site! If you want peace and quiet and you have dogs, this site is great. Lots of nice walks around here, even secure dog run on site, what luxury is that.
The shower block is first class.
No extra charge for water,awning or dogs.
The Warden was really friendly and very helpful.
Plenty of Pubs and shops in the area, lots to see and do round about.
Could do with a little play area for the kids. But apart from that will certainly be going back
Once again a delightful visit. The customer service by Charles, Linda-Jane, Glyn & Gary is 1000% from them all- well done and thank you for making a truly memorable visit once again
Spotless showers and toilets complete with hairdryer (unless you are unfortunate to follow the dirty people who can't be bothered to clean up after themselves and leave dirt everywhere for others to clean up for them, no excuses as there is a mop and clothes for you to clean as you go) Showers have external changing rooms as an annex to the shower itself so you don't get your clothes wet. Separate utility room with Microwave if you need it.
All hard standing, so don't forget your rock pegs for the awning! night courtesy lights above the ehu unit. Water and fire points in the curves of the turning circle.
A very sheltered site. Children were playing in the woods and making 'dens' and bow n arrows and riding their bikes.
Just returned from a week long stay at Woodland Caravan Park.It was so good we've booked for the next two weekends!
The site wardens are extremely friendly and helpful, full of useful information about the area, what to do and where to go. The pitches themselves are a good size - ours was big enough for our caravan, porch awning and 4x4. There are bigger pitches available though - you just need to state the size of your caravan, awning etc when booking to ensure that you're allocated the right size pitch.
The facilities are modern, clean and to a high standard. The shower water was the perfect temperature - not too hot for my OH and the children, but hot enough for me who likes the steam out the bathroom!
Great for dogs - the enclosure is good for a 5 minute run around and toilet break, but the field it right next to the camp site, with a public footpath going on for miles if you want a decent walk on your doorstep.
We took our niece and nephew (7 and 9) who loved the camp site. Great for tree climbing (obv!), building dens and hide and seek! We visited Dovedale (kids recommended the icecream and the stepping stones), Ilam Country Park (again icecream comes recommended!) and the 'Heights of Abraham' (which the kids rated 10 out of 10). We are big fans of the Peak District so found the site an excellent base for exploring the beautiful countryside that this area boosts. See you next weekend!
