Looking to go camping this weekend. Looking towards the Peak District as its close by. Looking for a site that is walkable to a pub, a site that has good showers/toilets and preferably has a play area for youngsters to let of steam. Also looking to do a little bit on the bikes but NO hills .

I've looked at most on the Camp Site Search so just wondering if there are any others not on the list.

Anyone got some recommendations ?

Yes, I've been several times , but the name "Peak" tends to suggest that there are hills! I've generally used the CC Grin Low site at Buxton. Walkable through woods to town and you can always visit the caverns.

Also used a site at Matlock Bath which is more level. Handy for Heights of Abraham, national Tram museum etc..

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

I love Greenhills at Bakewell and Black Horse Farm at Matlock but there are big hills. The pitches aren't hilly though, maybe gentle slopes of at all.

C&CC's Conkers which is in the middle of the National Forest not too far away?

The site itself does not have much of a play area to speak of, however, there is a play area in the pub just around the corner, as well as the facilities at Conkers itself.

As for cycling, I really wish I had taken my bike with me, as there are some really nice flat well-paved tracks just outside the campsite!

Check out the reviews for Lathkill Dale site at Monyash near Bakewell, lovely site, interestingly rustic facilites, brilliant pub and kids playground 10 minute walk away! We went last August and had a great time!
