Hi  Just been to Woodland Caravan Park at Snelston - 3 miles south of Ashbourne. Small friendly site which welcomes children and dogs - children allowed to play in the woods and make dens.  Small clean toilet block with washing facilities.  Cock inn at Clifton - next village - excellent meals.  They are opposite Darley Moor racetrack - so check on their website when they are racing Only during daytime (they do publish the racedays)  Lovely walks from the site as well.  - hope this helps

we have been to greenhills at bakewell and barn farm at birchover

Greenhills has a play area next to a small bar, good.clean toliets and showers and some fields for ball sports. The main A6 runs below it( not directly ) so there can be a bit of traffic noise at night - not bad but there it is a short walk into ashover or bakewell

Barn Farm is really really friendly and very informal, it is a short walk into the village for the shop and pubs with food it leads directly out into some lovely walks - the only 2 downsides are, it is so informal people seem to pitch anywhere and when it is busy you can find someone right outside your door, my sister was actually stuck on a pitch as she was surrounded and it is a narorw road it not a problem for campers but might be for big caravans
