Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Five Happy Campers 7 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a 3 night stay at the Miners standard (Last bank hol in May)

Pub is a traditional little Derbyshire pub with great food (proper pub grub/ big portions) - the prices on the pub's website a little out of date but still reasonably priced. Good beer. Kev (the owner) was lovely, as were the people we bumped into in the bar. Child friendly.

Fab small site in a little village. I agree with all the comments made in the prev review.

However, the points forgotten were:

It's only £2pppn (£1 for children) and given the closeness to Matlock is amazing, REGARDLESS of tent size! and if you want to put up additional gazebo's they are free too (we didn't have them with us but will next time)

Very chilled out site. Everyone was respective. We will definitely be back

 Just back from visit to this Site over Bank Holiday weekend. Arrived afternoon on Friday. Already a few units on site. Mainly caravans and the odd traler tent. Predominantly sloping although small hardstanding area. A number of units arrived later in evening.

Located immediately behind pub which served lovely food and was very accommodating to the campers. Toilets were allowed to be used as an overspill to the site toilets. The only down side to the site being the toilet and shower facilities which were too limited really for the amount of people. On toilet one shower per sex. But they were clean and ok. The showers take 20p coins, giving 3 mins of hot water. This was very welcome given the horrible weather we had.

Nearby are Bakewell and Winster and Matlock. Supermarkets in both Bakewell and Matlock. Very relaxed atmosphere and will go again. They could do with more refuse facilities as there was only a few bins for the whole site which were overwhelmed on a bank holiday. Recycling would also have been welcomed. 


Date of Visit: October 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Dnbb 1 review from this member

 Arrived friday night and stayed five nights.

The site position was great Bakewell, Matlock, Buxton all a short drive away, site was spacious with great view over the valley.

The site and toilet block was kept clean and tidy although would imagine in busy periods the one gents and ladies toilet could be a problem, however the pub is open 12 till 12 seven days a week so these facilities are available most of the time.

The pub itself is great, a traditional country pub with great pub grub at reasonable prices, great friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff, who spoilt the dog rotten.

Nearly forgot to mention the beer, excellent!

All in all basic amenities but a great atmosphere good food and drink, we shall return.

Reviewer: Rosewood 8 reviews from this member

 A nice relaxed site where you have space. 3 things to bear in mind.
1. The site is sloping so if you are in a caravan or motor home you will definitely need blocks to level up.
2. There are hook-ups but you will probably need a double length lead to reach one (we were lucky and able to pitch on the beer garden).
3. There is only one ladies loo and shower (gents the same I think) so at busy times there would be a wait as in order to be private you have to lock the entrance door so loo/shower not available to anyone else! There are 2 ladies loos inside the pub which are available when the pub is open.

However the owners were very obliging and helpful and the food in the pub is excellent. We would stay again if we are in the area. 


Date of Visit: October 2009 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Fredrock 3 reviews from this member

 Great little campsite just a short walk down to Winster where you can catch a bus to Matlock or Bakewell(if you don't want to drive),The people on the site are nice and friendly,We had two units,a trailer tent and a caravan,

Within two tic's we were given a pitch next to the beer garden with EHU,half an hour later we were having a beer with the friendly locals,

We will be going back to this camp site,even though a couple of us bumped into a bench in the beer garden at night,its pitch black,** not too drunk,

Small toilet/shower area + you might get a little slope on your pitch,We enjoyed our stay.

Date of Visit: May 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Johnps65 3 reviews from this member

 A great and inexpensive little campsite with great views over the Derbyshire countryside. There are basic washroom facilities on site with hot water and an electric shower. However, the facilities only accommodate one at a time, so when busy you may have to wait a little while to get your turn. I believe there is a limited supply of electric hookups for vans if required.

The pub, The Miners Standard to which the campsite is attached, does a good range of home cooked food, and a good selection of beer, so if you don't fancy cooking around the camp fire after a hard days walking or cycling it's a great option. There is also a shop in the village itself if required.

The nice thing about this site is the relaxed atmosphere. There doesn't seem to be any unnecessary rules an regulations and fires are permitted as long as they are in a container or pit and and properly controlled. Dogs are also welcome. The camping field is on gently sloping ground so there shouldn't be any problems when faced with wet weather.

All in all a great little site that I will definitely use again!
