Having been deprived of my Easter camping as my children have different holidays! I thought we'd go away May bank holiday weekend. I'm thinking of the Peaks,as it's quite near home, but am having difficulty finding a suitable campsite - don't want anywhere too busy but, on the other hand, with four children I do appreciate enough (clean) showers and loos and ample hot water! Also some sort of playground if possible. I've had a trawl through the reviews and a lot of sites seem to have reviews along the lines of fabulous scenery, but poor facilities - I'd like both, if possible! We have stayed at Newlands, and I quite liked it but would like to try somewhere different, if possible. Any ideas?

Loosehill at Castleton is a nice site good showers etc not sure about the playground though as only me and the wife stayed there when we went to collect our new van from glossop, the site is one of the caravan club sites not sure if it takes tents, hope this is some help, got rid of the blue face for you anyway

Highfields Farm at Ashbourne has lovely clean toilets and showers.  Big playground and a swimming pool (restricted opening hours).  This site does get busy tho.  Next door to the Tissington Trail for cycling too.

I've had a look at the Laneside campsite and it also looks good - we have a three year old and I see the camping field is next to a river - it says it's shallow and safe but did you happen to notice what it was like? We keep a close eye on her but i'm a bit wary about water.
