HI

we have a large family tent (no kids) and are planning a week camping in derbyshire, would be greatful for any recommendations for nice quiet sites in the area.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Nice tent!

Despite living in this beautiful county I've never camped here.  But you can do some of your own research by clicking on the button at the top of the screen (Camp Site Search) and read the reviews by members who've camped at the campsites.

Good luck.

Weve stayed at a site called Longnor wood(?) in the village of longnor, just outside Buxton. Its an adult only site, so is really quiet. The site is very spacious, we had bad luck with the weather, but the site refunded our money for leaving early without us asking (an unexpected surprise!). There are some pubs and a chippy in the village. It has good links to all the local towns.

PS if you go to this area, Llam Park (a national trust park) is well worth a visit.

I think the site is reviewed on here, we would certainly recommend it.

Happy camping,

Richard, Lindsay and Molly the dog

The best one for peace and quiet though for me, is just outside Derbyshire, just into Staffordshire, its called Longnor Wood, off the A515, its an adult site too.

Another recommendation for Longnor Wood, it's one of my favourites in Derbyshire, big pitches, nice and quiet.

WOW....

Thanks to you all, I will be looking in to all your recommendation. I am already booked in at upper booth for 3 nights so I will check out the suggestions then.

Thankyou everyone

Cottage Farm, free and easy, walks from the site, farm shop.

Rivendale, Pub on site near to Tissington trail, not as quiet as above.

Mooredge farm Tansley, shhhh don't tell anyone about this one, I didn't even put a review in thats how much I liked it, nice views,swimming pool you can use, nice walk over the fields to the village with three pubs.

 Grin Low, nr Buxton, although it'a a caravan club site they take tent's. Very good facilities near a country park, twenty mins walk to Buxton.
