 We stayed at Longnor Wood for a week. We are walkers and also wanted to visit Buxton durng the Gilbert and Sullivan Festival, which is well recommended. The Staff were very friendly and guests generally like-minded peace seeking couples, many I suspect, as repeat visitors to a site whose facilities are here well documented. The weather during our stay was abysmal with high winds and continual rain. The site stood up well in these conditions, the amenities remained dry and clean and, in the main, the ground drained well. We were in the lowest corner of the tent field (pitch 11) which was very sheltered from the wind but we did suffer from ingress of surface water through our breathable ground sheet as the rain persisted to saturation point. There are some lovely day walks based on Longnor which we managed to link to local paths, giving driving a break and keeping the car away from the pitch during the wettest period. We did not sample local hostelries as we tend to self-cater but would have been happy to have made further use of the local visiting butcher had evenings been fit to BBQ. Our wettest week in over forty successive years of camping but, thanks to Longnor Wood, we are not dissuaded for the future.

We stayed a weekend in a tent with friends in a camper van and had two pitches together in the lower site with the statics. We have never been anywhere with so many rules - which way to face, how far apart, even which side of the tent that the car had to go on which was off-putting. They also limit groups to two pitches (presumably to try and limit late night noise?).
There was an almost permanent smell of sewage in this lower field.
Also a word of warning for the light sleepers - we were kept awake all night, both nights, by some kind of nocturnal bird which made a call every 5 seconds from 10 pm till 4 am.
Site itself very peaceful, (apart from the unnecessary music piped into the toilet blocks) and no late night noise (birds apart). Large pitches, clean pleasant facilities with good attention to detail.
A good half hour walk from the village / pubs. The chef at the Black Grouse was off sick but the friendly landlady let us eat our fish and chips at the outside pub tables with our drinks.
Site has a visiting butcher on Saturday evenings and a catering van at other times.

This is indeed a very tranquil site. A place to relax big style as it is very quiet as has already been said.
The BIG news however is that the site now has fast WiFi which I am using to write this report. It uses the CaraWeb system and signal strength is good to excellent throughout the site. There are surf cards that you can buy from reception that give you various times online - from a one hour card that gives you an hour in total, so if you disconnect after 15 mins you still have 45 mins left to use next time which is good if all you want to do is check emails. Or there are 1 day, 3 day or 1 week cards which give you multiples of 24 hours from when you first log on.
Only problems I found so far is that the trees block satellite signals and only Orange phones work in this area so we have to drive up the road to get a signal if we need to use our phones.
If you need a quiet site to recover in - this is the one.

We had a thoroughly relaxing stay at Longnor. The site was peaceful, with excellent facilities and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Although the site was quite full we still felt quite secluded and not overrun (probably due to the absence of children).
The village of Longnor is very quiet, although a bit too quiet at times - especially when trying to find somewhere to eat on Sunday and Monday evening! On these occasions we were lucky to find hospitality at The Royal Oak in Hurlow, a few miles out of Longnor, where the food and beer were both outstanding. When open, the local chippy serves up great fare, if you don't mind waiting.
The location is very convenient for Buxton, Leek and Ashbourne, although the roads are rather zig-zaggy at times. It is also very close to Alton Towers, where good fun can be had by the bigger kids amongst us!
All in all, we had a great time and will certainly return.

We visited Longmor last week, and I can recommend this site. It is clean and quiet and the owners are very pleasant. The pitches are spacious and neat. There are very narrow lanes leading up to the site, but we did not have any problems and tow a 20ft caravan.
If you are a dog owner the dog walk is lovely and the views from there are fantastic. There are also a number of walks within a short drive.
There are 3 pubs in the village, but we found these very expensive and the food was not very good, so I would recommend if you want to eat out to go to one of the pubs around Longmor.

We have just had a lovely, peaceful weekend at Longnor.The facilities were spotless and the staff couldn't be more friendly. The rabbits and birds are all quite fearless (no children to chase them I suppose) and were a delight to watch. We had a walk into Longnor itself along the main road and then came back via a walk along the fields which was very pleasant. If we could criticise it in any way it would be that we were not told that there was a visiting butcher early on Saturday evenings so you could stock up on barbeque goods. We didn't find out until the following day, which was a shame because we would have used him!
Other than that we would thoroughly recommend the site.

Stayed here in the middle of June and I have to say that, for novice campers such as ourselves, it is a fantastic site. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and always on hand if you have a problem. Our only problem was that our airbed let us down and we could not stay longer.
The site is fairly flat but the field we were in had no views. However, to wake up to the sound of Curlews calling was another experience. The walk into Longnor village is a bit further than we expected but apart from that everything was great. Will be back, hopefully, in a few weeks time.

Went here a couple of times last year and love it. The site is so peaceful - probably helped by being adults only. There is a small shop, and plenty of toliets and showers for size of the site. The owners of the site are very friendly.
The campsite is situated a couple of miles from the village - not to bad walking there but walking back could be a killer as uphill! But if you've got your walking boots and head on . . .You will be fine. Bakewell not a long car journey and well worth visiting even if just for the bakewell pudding!
You really feel at one with nature here - there are rabbits all around the site which is lovely, and all you can hear is the wind in the trees and the birds - wonderful!
Am revisiting in June and am sure will still love this site.

We spent 2 nights here in mid May and found it to be a good site in a fantastic location for walking in the Peak District. Facilities are very good, warm and clean toilet / shower blocks and a great washing up area where you can also freeze ice packs.
The camping field is fairly flat and quite sheltered and the pitches are a good size. Lots of conveniently situated water points. Unfortunately there are no views from this field and you are asked to pitch 'facing in' so you are looking at all the other tents.
It takes around 25 minutes to walk into Longnor (a little longer on the way back as its uphill!). We ate at the Black Grouse, formally the Crewe & Harpur, and the food and service were both excellent, would thoroughly recommend. Longnor also has a Village Shop which we found useful as the opening hours at the shop on site were a little limited.
Overall a good site and the superb location would encourage a return visit.

Just wanted to say that this site is very nice and peaceful. We have stayed here twice now and on both occasions have been impressed. The owners have put a automatic barrier up which is a good idea, you have to pay a £5.00 deposit which you get back on depature.
Also would like to point that the showers are top class nice touch with the piped music. The pitches are big enough for your caravan plus awing.Just make sure you have a good tv areial. All in all would recomend this site thanks alot we will be back.
