Camp site in Leek / Bakewell / Buxton....any recommendations for sites in this area for tents would be appreciated.  We are going next weekend 15th Sept and require toilets and showers.  Have done a camp site search but need more help. Thank you.

We've stayed in our tent at the c&cc site in Leek and it was great with fantastic toilets/showers

hi  you dont say how much you want to pay but Newhaven is situated between Ashbourne and Buxton and is nice (tho boggy if wet so keep eye on weather), or Rivendale on same road, but a bit pricey.  Could also try Blackshaw Moor CC site in Leek.  Depends what you want and what price you want to pay really.

Have good time wherever you end up!!

Hi

Callowtop ashbourne lovely site do a search for it,great for kids.

We have had lovely times at Greenhills near Bakewell and Lime Tree Park at Buxton. The facilities at both of these are immaculate.

We always have electric pitches with our tent, they tend to be flatter, which is a little difficult to find in Derbyshire.

Didn't like Rivendale, or Callow Top, but that's just our opinion.

Gorgeous part of the country, we love it.

just read rest of thread above now, callowtop is the site i was looking for...thanks. as i say went their 7 years ago thought it was a lovely site, is it on the search on this website, so can add to virtual brochure?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.  I have been on nights all weekend so have not been able to look at them until now.  I am from Leicester and the rest of my family are coming from north Wales so I have to find a site which is roughly the same milage for us all.  They moan if they have to do even 5 miles more than me!  I am going to spend the rest of the day looking at sites and multimap and then make a decision that hopefully all will be happy with.

Thanks again..Alison
