Date of Visit: July 2024  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Tent

Reviewer: Kabill 1 review from this member

 All staff very friendly, facilities clean and warm.

Everywhere was really tidy and well maintained. Located on the first electric pitch which was fantastic as had so much room beside us for the kids to play.

Only downside to this plot was it is on an slight incline which for 2 nights was no issue at all. The further down you went to more level the pitches are.

There is a well maintained park on-site for children, that can be seen from most of the camping and caravan pitches.

It’s close to Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock and Matlock bath so plenty to do and lots of different walks very close by.

Lovely campsite.

Reviewer: Rachel M 6 reviews from this member

 This was our first camping trip for several years & our first with our young grandchildren.

The site has had a complete upgrade since our last visit.

The toilet/shower blocks are immaculate.

The children really enjoyed the playground.

The tent pitches are fairly flat.

We all had a great couple of days & we're now looking forward to more camping in the future.

Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Young couple
Reviewer: Einsteinwasright 5 reviews from this member

 Nice enough campsite, good facilities, clean, large and open spaces.

Not many tents, mostly motorhomes & caravans.

A bit disappointed as we had booked and requested staying in a specific tent, no electric, area which they had confirmed, but on arrival we were put amongst caravans, not sure if the pitch they gave us had recently been converted because it was impossible to get tent pegs into the ground due to the amount of gravel/stones.

The site is lovely and safe, surrounded by trees so there is no view at all of the Peak District, also be warned there is a haulage company across the road who start up very early and operate 24/7, not the idyllic, peaceful countryside location we had expected!

Date of Visit: October 2018 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: TouringCampers 5 reviews from this member

 Lovely site, checked in at reception by a lady, very polite and helpful. It was Halloween weekend and she gave the children some trick or treats and details of the park, then radioed a gentleman who took us down to the bottom section of the park next to the play area, which was great for the kids. He told us where everything was and said have a great weekend and just give him a shout if needed anything. The park itself is very clean and tidy and fantastic. Very clean shower block and loos.

Small shop that sells most things that you normally forget to take with you, in my case tooth brush.

While we stayed we asked about a seasonal pitch and are thinking of taking one for 2019 season.

Thankyou to the staff and manager for a great stay and will see you soon x 


Date of Visit: August 2017 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Susangibbons 7 reviews from this member

 The site is clean tidy and well kept the showers are hot and free. However because there are a lot of touring vans permanently pitched but empty the site lacks the atmosphere of a campsite. The pitches are very uneven and sloped so tricky for a trailer tent. We were on the middle field on the edge near the road once pitched we realised the bottom field was flatter nearer the toilets and the play area which with a 10 month old would have been much better but we weren't offered this. There are strange rules such as no cycling or scooters on site and no washing to be hung outside tent we were asked to move towels which were on a small camping rotary airer! Not causing any issue really.

It would be good to have a bucket and mop in the showers as they cut the grass a lot and the cubicles where usually muddy.

On the bank holiday weekend they decided to cut down tree branches next to the play area with large chain saw with no safety equipment or health and safety covered it was very dangerous.

The lady in the office was friendly but not the men who were often driving around to fast and very grumpy.

Don't arrive between 1 and 2 as they close for lunch and won't open!

If you are on the non electric pitches these are on a very steep slope

We chose the site as it was very reasonable priced and the location is very good. 


Date of Visit: August 2017 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Andyboylester 7 reviews from this member

 Just got back this evening after a four night short break at this campsite. We chose it in the first place because it was reasonably priced and we could bring our pet dog. Our pitch was large as we needed space for our trailer tent and a pup tent for my son and his partner, and we had electric hook-up. On arrival, we where directed by signs to the reception, which includes a very well stocked shop, where the lady took pains to find out exactly what we needed and then changed our allocated pitch to suit us better, because the weather had been quite bad and our original pitch would have been a bit boggy. Then she collared a young chap to take us to our pitch, which was on a slight slope. He told us all the bits about where the facilities where and so on, and even helped us to move our trailer off the road into position.

The site as a whole is absolutely beautifully kept, all clean and manicured, the toilets and showers (which are free and plenty hot enough) where clean, as was the dish-washing area (apart from the first night, where some lovely person had left a sink half full of their left-overs from dinner). There is a small play area for kids that also includes a brick-built barbecue that my younger kids made good use of (the play area, not the bbq!).

The only thing I wasn't over keen on was that there was a ban on outdoor games in the actual camping area, all games being restricted to the play area, meaning that if you have little ones, they couldn't play within sight of the tent. I understand that this might make things more peaceful for those who don't have kids, but it was a definite inconvenience for those who do.

Overall, this is a really excellent site, with staff who really go the extra mile, and I'd definitely go back for a longer stay.

 Experienced a camping trip to Newhaven Caravan & Camping Park with our family. Would definitely not return ever! The staff are miserable and unhelpful. The two play areas need updating. There is no dog walking area and it is quite far to walk offsite to the nearest one. Waited half an hour once we got there for someone to return to book us in. Will not return!

Reviewer: A1tony 1 review from this member

 Stayed with a large group at Newhaven for a bike event nearby. Camp site was immaculate, clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful and attentive to things like bins and especially so for unknown / unauthorised vehicles. Even though we stayed up late, there were no noise complaints. Shop on site sells useful bits n bobs. I really can't fault it.

We will be going back many more times hopefully.

Well done

Date of Visit: June 2017 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Dave 418 38 reviews from this member

 We decided to stay on this site because it was near to the walks we wanted to do, Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail.

We were pitched on the bottom field and I assumed this to be the touring field for caravans tents and motorhomes. The pitch we were given was gravel next to the toilet block. There are two taps marked motorhome water next to the pitches we were on. Unfortunately this is were motorhome facilities stopped. There is no drive over drain and we were told we could use the elsan point to drain our water.

The toilet block has two showers each side, considering the size of the touring area this will cause a few hold ups during the busier times.

Dogs are allowed but there is no dog walk area and it is quite a walk to take dogs off site.

To end it all the elsan point in the touring area was overflowing this morning. We were directed to another elsan point by a groundsman. He knew nothing about the problem.

I thought this site was expensive for what it offered. Motorhome users have different needs to caravans.

Reviewer: Liconarella 1 review from this member

 Just on our way home from another great weekend at newhaven campsite. We decided to site our tourer here after our first visit and must say it was the best decision we made. We come most weekends. The children love it, everyone is so friendly especially the staff Sue, Paul and James who have helped us when we have needed them and we always get a friendly wave on their frequent site patrols. There's plenty of space for the children to play and the grounds are kept immaculately. The campsite is also in a prime location to access nearby towns Matlock, Ashbourne, buxton etc where there's always something going on.

With all the stress of work and children it's been fantastic to have somewhere we love to relax at the weekends

Reviewer: TravelingUk 1 review from this member

 We have been camping all over the UK and this is one of the best campsites we have ever stayed at, even the weather was kind to us for our trip!

It's hard to list all of the things that make this site so excellent, but I'll try! The wardens are lovely, they made us all feel very welcome. When we arrived they drove in front of us down to show us where to set up, which is a nice touch instead of just giving directions. They explained where everything was and all the facilities, making sure we were happy and comfortable. We were also presented with a booklet advertising the area which was full of local places and things to do. The position we had was excellent nice and flat. The site has a 10 mph limit, which is excellent and not only makes it safer for kids but also make it more relaxed and generally nicer.

The site itself is gorgeous, helped by the very small list of rules displayed in the toilets. You can tell that the wardens have high levels of presentation to the maintenance of the grounds, I don't think I saw one piece of rubbish anywhere. The site is on a grassy area with woodland around the edge. It was nice to enjoy a fresh proper coffee on arrival that are available at the shop. The shop itself presents a high standard and you can just tell how the rest of the site will match the high standards.

The facilities clean and passed the test of my slightly OCD family! The price we paid here was significantly less than we have paid elsewhere at sites that are just not in the same league as this place.

To summarise, this lovely family run business is a real gem, and you will not only have a lovely relaxing time but you will be made to feel really welcome and you'll want to come back again. My next job is to try and book again now for the summer holidays! As I am sure they easily get fully booked! Well done guys!

 Very well looked after park. One of the better parks we've stayed at. Staff were very helpful and made sure we were happy. Went on a lovely walk. Really nice rolling countryside surrounds the park. Would definitely recommend! 


Date of Visit: May 2017 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: TouringCampers 5 reviews from this member

 This site is fantastic for a visit to the peak district great location. Well managed and spotlessly clean. The shop/reception is well stocked with all you need and if they don't have it, the managers who run the site go out their way to get it. Two shower/loo blocks cleaned twice daily and late at night ready for next morning rush hour. Two small play areas with swings/climbing frame and wooded areas for children to play in. Man and wife manage the park with a warden helping and they always are around speaking and interacting with their customers. Two camping areas for tents /tourers and lovely tree lined roads with shrubbed areas all around the site. Wifi is at the top of the park if you need it, well who these days doesn't. There are park benches where you can sit and enjoy a coffee from the shop and yes yes it's coffee beans while you wi fi away. Defo re visit and recommend this park.
