 Another excellent weekend at Longnor Wood, an ideal base for either walking or touring the area. I can't really add much more than what has already been said in previous reviews, toilets and showers A1. Generous pitches, friendly & informative staff. I look forward to returning again.

 We came here in June last year with a couple of friends new to camping and it was a joy to stay here. The owners were really kind and friendly and we had a lovely spot all together in the field to the side.
 
The shower blocks were immaculately clean and tidy, which reassured us all (being new or novice campers). We particularly loved the boules court and the pitch and putt.and all in all it was a fab weekend. I'd firmly recommend this site.

 I stayed here with my wife last summer and have to say it is one of the best camp sites I have ever visited. We had tremendous weather which helped as we did a fair bit of walking. The site is a great base and was fairly central. The toilets were clean and the serviced pitches were great. Taps at each of them. Although we did not have hook-ups we were given the choice of pitch which I thought was great. I have found in the past that tents are filled with second class citizens and given the rotten end of a campsite. Not so here!

There is a small shop and if it doesnt have what you need there is a general store in the village. There is a facility to freeze ice packs which is great but the freezer was a little too small. There is also a fair amount of information available for walking and attractions in the peak district. This is done on an honesty basis for the brochures to be returned when you finish with it.

There are a couple of pubs in the village too which is a bit of a hike if you have had one to many.

The camp site is quiet and everyone we met were very friendly. I will definitely return here for another visit

 Spent ages on here looking for nice site near the Tissington Trail.  Finally settled on Longnor Wood as it was adults only and we had just had a weekend away with the 3 kids!
 
We weren't disappointed.  Found the site okay and were shown a variety of pitches to choose from.  We picked number 15 which was in a corner spot and quite sheltered.  Toilets as mentioned in previous reviews were great.  All toilets had a washbasin in each and one even had a shower in too. Very clean with radio 2 playing! Washing up area very good with a freezer for ice packs and a microwave. 
 
Bit of a trek to Longnor Village so we went by car in the evening, would say its about a 30 minute walk. We didn't fancy the uphill walk in total darkness on the way back!
 
Would definitely come here again.

 1st visit to adult only site but enjoyed the benefits of no children. However quite a bit of building work going on so wasn't that quiet. Good grassy pitch with individual water and waste which was great. Toilets / showers limited could be very crowded on busy weekend but free and unlimited hot water which was good. Area superb for views and walks. Stayed 4 nights but will certainly go back.

Reviewer: Sassy brown 8 reviews from this member

 Booked on an adult only site during the school holidays and enjoyed the peace and quiet the site offered. The facilities were good, with free use of badminton, putting green and boules. There were plenty of tourist information leaflets available too. On the downside we did find the shop to be unmanned and in order to get anything from the shop a bell was provided to get their attention. The toilets were good, although the ladies toilets could have had a bit more attention – the hot and cold controls on the showers kept falling off, although the temperature was always hot and free. Overall a lovely quiet campsite with a good choice of facilities, some great views when out in the dog walking area. There is a lovely friendly pub called “Crewe and Harpur Arms” in Longnor village which was excellent. The food was lovely and reasonably priced and we were able to take our dogs in with us without any problems, in fact they praised our two dogs and said it was a pleasure to have them – don’t get that often when having a meal out – we normally feel restricted and end up either sitting in the corner of the bar area or in the smoking area just because we have dogs. So it was a pleasant surprise to have such a friendly welcome – a definite must to visit and also when staying at Longnor Wood they offer a 10% discount. Would definitely visit the Peak District again as the views and area were fantastic.

 Just back from 3 days stay at this site. Site is very nice, toliet / shower block is excellent - clean, warmish and with piped music sometimes! Free microwave and freezer. Free games - putting, boules, badminton and various board games free to use. Overall this site is excellent (if a little far from the nearest pub or off licence). On the downside - there is nothing to do at night, not all pitches are level and the site is quite exposed to high winds, good for kites but not for large tents!

 An excellent site.  The great advantage about this site are the owners determination not too crowd the site with too many campers.  Each space is allocated and quite generous.
 
This year was a return visit.  During the intervening period ownership had changed so we were apprehensive as to whether the previous standards would be maintained.  We were not disappointed.
 
At my own error I had written down the wrong month on the booking sheet. When we arrived there was some natural confusion however we were accommodated very well despite the site being busy and my embarrassment.  We were thankful to the new owners.
 
Aside from that, the campsite is generally patronised by customers that are not particularly noisy and generally quite considerate of others.  We noticed that one group that could have potentially been noisy were placed behind the owners' caravan.  A good method of noise control!
 
The only potential improvement to be made is in volume of the toilet / shower facilities for busy weekends.  However, there is little to be done.  We were told by the owners that they had tried to improve disabled access but were thwarted by the National Parks strict planning criteria!

 A year on and Longnor has not changed its feel - the new owners are, by the way, great.  It is a fab place for adults (of all ages - we saw 20s to 70s) who want a quiet time. Another great weekend in a beautiful place. Wonderful view from the dog walk field.  This is a place which is perfect for campers and for caravanners.

 What a nice site! the owners were very friendly and showed us to our pitch and then gave us a tour of the facilities. The showers and toilets were very clean and tidy, as was the whole site.
 
 The village of Longnor was a little walk away down the side of a road, but there are several pubs and shops etc there.
 
 Best bit of the site? NO KIDS! we thought we were the only people in the universe who get irritated by other peoples children, then we found this web-site with an adult only search engine. To sit outside our tent and relax with a glass of wine and a book without screaming kids running around was extremely welcome after a weeks hard slog at work.

 We would recommend this site for anyone who wants to get away from it all for a few days.
