We stayed there pre pandemic to cycle on the Tissington Trail. To be honest two nights were enough. Large commercially run site, profit first and last. Negatives: no staff control of children on bikes, no parential control of children chasing round, adults with loud music and dogs not on leads. Also very poor showers: a door, a shower, a couple of pegs and a 20p coin machine, poor, just poor. May have been upgraded since. No staff on swimming pool with resultant mayhem. Overpriced shop. Difficult steep access to cycle trail downhill and then up the embankment. Definitely not "on the trail". Large static site included with "lifers". Pros: good bar and eatery although mostly chip based. Large well maintained pitches with good hedges. We have never gone back there and use other sites for cycling along the trail. Hope that helps.

20 years ago it was a lovely site. Then it became over the top and extremely commercial. Catering more for statics.

I work with a family who visit there regularly because it is close to home (child is recovering from illness) and they seem to like it! Mum is usually very particular about things...horses for courses I suppose!

We’ve stayed at a CL nearby in Fenny Bentley. There is ehu but no other facilities. Access to the trail is very simple. Lovely quiet site.
Just round the corner is Ashbourne Heights. We used to stay there many years ago before it became a holiday park. I can’t speak for it now.

The pitches there are really sloping, ok for caravan but we struggled in the Motorhome.

Thanks again guys . It’s just a one night stop over on our way to Chatsworth house . Thought I might as well get the last bit of value ( if you can call it that ) out of my camc membership as I won’t be renewing this year .
