Twin Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJun 2024

The site is within the Derbyshire Dales countryside with walks in different directions. It has some lovely views, but can get busy. The caravans are split into two different parts, and one of them shares this with tents, which isn't that great. The other one has a much longer walk to the facilities and the caravans are boxed in more. It's a nice place and the staff are polite, but watch-out for the night time security. He can be a bit bossy, but he isn't rude. When we stayed, the place was packed-out with lots of young people doing their D of E expedition training, so that kept the place busy, but they were in a different area. All-in-all, it's a nice campsite and people respected the 'music off' rule at 10.30pm.

Lovely location and family friendly

Excellent site: clean, spacious, good facilities with walks and pubs just off site. Excellent location and will use again. Clean toilets, showers and pot washing areas. DoE campers in separate field, with field for younger families. All thought through and safe, being good value too.

Amazing find!

My daughter and grandson are visiting from Australia and we all enjoyed the location and views. The play park for children was a bonus and the facilities were excellent and clean. We will definitely return as we regularly walk in the Peak District.

Beautiful, peaceful location

Despite the narrow lanes leading through Birchover, the site and facilities were outstanding. The location of central for visiting Bakewell, Matlock, Matlock Bath and Buxton.

Great site, great location for Peak District walks

Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4)Jun 2024

We visit this site at least once a year and enjoy the location for the views and the opportunity for walks in the Peak District. Facilities are good - especially love the individual shower rooms. Very handy for 2 good pubs in Birchover village, both a few minutes walk from the site. Couple of downsides to camping here though. The 2 main camping fields are not flat and pitches need to be selected with care to avoid things sliding in the tent. Other minor glitch, which is common to many sites in this area, is that Duke of Edinburgh and school groups are often camping here. Most groups are well-behaved and responsible, and well monitored by their leaders. Occasionally they are not! We had a noisy group of teenagers loitering close to our tent, but they instantly hotfooted it when my other half yelled at them to skedaddle back to their own field. More site patrolling needed to ensure rules are followed.

Amazing place to stay

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJun 2024

Really friendly and knowledgable reception staff (think her name was Emma) who made us feel warm and welcome on arrival. Found the perfect pitch with Alpacas and Sheep as neighbours. Site was well kept, clean and tidy. We also appreciated the detail they had gone to with the pretty lights and extras around the site. The kids loved the open fields, park, rabbits, black cat, woodland adventures and having the freedom to go on adventures together whilst we were happy they weren’t too far away and were safe. There were lots students doing Duke of Edinburgh awards which did make the main toilet block busy in the morning however, all were polite and there were plenty of other facilities dotted around. They were located on the big field so were no bother at all and the kids enjoyed seeing them. Site was in a great location with two local pubs and an easy walk to the Druid rocks. The nine ladies is apparently close too however, we enjoyed the site that much we decided to play cricket on the field and plan to return to do that walk with friends over the summer.

Great campsite with excellent facilities

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1)Jun 2024

Very clean, excellent facilities - bins emptied daily, good quality toilet paper replenished regularly, shop on site. Kids and Duke of Edinburgh students kept away from adult area. Food trucks in height of summer only. Approx 2 hour walk to Matlock, drove to Bakewell but only 15 mins away by car.

Quick weekend away

Stayed in a large group with kids from very young to teenager. Excellent choice for families as lots to see and do in the outdoors. Farm animals and a playground, games room something for everyone. Also grandparents were able to stay in beautiful barn which was very luxurious.

Excellent site

We stayed midweek, during term time and it was very quiet - can imagine it's very popular with families. The site is beautifully maintained, with excellent facilities and lovely views. Obviously a lot of thought and effort gone into it.

Excellent campsite

Brilliant stay. I'd wanted to have a location where we could do country walks without using a vehicle. As it turned out, Stanton Moor is right on their doorstep. Well worth a visit, very good facilities. Would recommend this campsite to anyone.

First time camping in 15 years, first time camping as a family of five. This campsite made it easy for us to enjoy our weekend! Pot-washing, toilets and showers all to a high standard of cleanliness. The staff were approachable and friendly whenever we asked a question about the local area, and the site had the shortest walk onto Stanton Peak. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and whilst we don't have lots of other experiences to compare it to, we would recommend to others!

Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4)May 2024

Great experience from booking to leaving. The site was v wet so we had to park on the concrete at the bottom of the field, but the farm worker offered to put our kit in the farm buggy and take it to our pitch. The facilities were spotless, my children enjoyed playing on the play area (we were in the family field) and we had a fantastic 4 day stay. There are peacocks on site, which my children loved, however they do make some early morning calls! But we will return!
