Hi

I need some recommendations for a nice campsite this bank holiday in Derbyshire.  Ideally around Chesterfield/Bakewell area.

I don't need much but toilet/shower facilites that work would be essential.

I am a single camper just touring the area for the weekend.  I am planning to visit Chatsworth and Bakewell and wander in the peak district.

Hope you can help.

Try Mandale House - http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=4679

It's a basic site, with toilets, showers, and pot washing.  They let you pitch where you like, and charge per person.  Very peaceful.

Only about 10mins from Bakewell.

Hope you find somewhere for the weekend, and just spotted it's your first post, so welcome to UKCS.

Kate.

Hi flowerchild

We visited Rowson House Farm last year in July. We thoroughly enjoyed the place simply because of the scenery. The facilities were basic but adequate, the toilets and shower (only one) was situated at the highest point. There were further showers down the road at the farmhouse itself. The ground for the tents are terraced at three different levels, if you manage to obtain the top terrace the view is buudiful!!! The week-ends were a bit popular but during the week we almost had the campsite to ourselves.

It's situated close to the village of Moneyash post code DE45 1JH and Bakewell is not far away, 4 miles I think.

The good news is we think it's a great campsite, the bad is they are fully booked for the bank holiday. I thought I would mention it to you for future reference rather that for the week end. I hope you find a place and if you do and it's a good one let us know

 Hi welcome to ukcs. There is a site at Blackwell in the peak, off there mid sept, it,s called cottage farm, they have a web site and it is in the camp site search.

  God luck with finding somewhere though, as I suspect everywhere will be full.

We stayed at the Caravan Club at Losehill this month - would recommend it as a nice site - in Castleton - especially the Drying Room for wet clothes!

Thanks for all the recommendations.

Hopefully I will be able to get into 1 of them. 

I am a very impulsive camper and have a tendancy to pack the car up on a whim and then decide where i'm going.  It has meant i have ended up in some very interesting places but as a single female camper I have got more aware and really appreciate the recommendations of people who have already visited a site.  so THANK YOU and look forward to hearing how your weeknds went.
