Reviewer: Whiskydry 7 reviews from this member

 This was my first visit to a C&CC site and I went with high expectations! I wasn't disappointed, the site was lovely - an idyllic location nestling in the hills, but how the motorhomes and campervans navigated the steep windy narrow streets through Hayfield to get there I do not know - it was hairy enough in my little hatchback! It's probably for the best that caravans aren't accepted at this site.

Setting up my tent, it quickly became clear that the ground was rather stony in places - several bent pegs later I had learnt a valuable lesson about being properly equipped!

The local pub (The Sportsman) is lovely, dogs and children welcomed. We enjoyed a tasty meal there. No children's menu but children's portions available from the adult menu, which was a refreshing change from the usual chicken nugget / fishfinger type of fayre normally offered to children.

The toilets and showers were light, bright and clean, hot water plentiful, and free to use. I was a bit concerned that the doors were operated by a key coded pad, I imagined I would spend 3 days having to take my 5 year old to the toilet. But happily I underestimated my 5 year old! We did have to queue for the shower though - only 3 showers in the ladies and a busy campsite.

There is no children's play area but the children don't seem to care! As long as there are other kids to play with and the freedom to run around, who needs climbing frames!

I would definitely recommend a visit to Hayfield, and will no doubt return myself.

Reviewer: Ermintrude75 8 reviews from this member

 Our first camping trip and we found this site to be a good introduction. We arrived midweek and were put in the lower (right hand from the entrance) field which was perhaps a third to half full. The toilets etc. Were clean (although they should be, given that they are closed for a full hour and a half every day - you might like to note that there are public toilets just by the vehicle entrance to the site, provided for the walkers' car park opposite!).

The site filled up on Friday and was much more "lively" as children let off steam after being cooped up in a car for an hour or two, playing well into the night. One night was also somewhat disturbed by what was apparently a teething or sick baby in the tent nextdoor, screaming at 4:30am. Perhaps worse was the parents' inability to talk quietly once they had been woken and were trying to settle the child (men, please realise that your low voices carry an awful long way!).

There is lots of good walking right on the doorstep, including Kinder Scout and Lantern Pike, plus the Sett Valley Trail (2.5 miles of old railway line to New Mills). Bikes can be hired at the trail car park.

We sampled the Sportsman Inn (food excellent, beer OK - Thwaites only in terms of real ale), and there are numerous other pubs in the village given its size. There is a useful general store (selling filled rolls and a small range of baked goods as well as everything else), a newsagent, a greengrocers (which also has a small range of meat/cheese and other food), and a post office, but as of the end of July there is no longer a butcher (the site have not yet taken down their poster).

The pleasant spa town of Buxton is only half an hour away (including Millets and Yeomans for camping needs, plus other outdoor-type shops), and the Castleton / Mam Tor / caverns area is also nearby and well worth a visit.

 Visited Hayfield during our tour of the Peak District in a rented 1965 VW campervan. This was by far the most pleasant site we stayed at. The warden was helpful and friendly, the toilets/showers were clean and warm, and the atmosphere good - there were some families with children, but there weren't kids crawling all over the place! Only downside was the price - non-members are welcome but pay quite a lot more.

 This was our first time camping. The site managers have been here for about a year and were lovely, very helpful and couldn't do enough for us.
The pitch was great, very quiet camp site with some lovely walks and a great park for the children about 15 minutes walk away. The shop was limited, few tinned items, loads of lollies and local farm eggs, sausages bacon, cheese.etc. Toilets and showers were clean and pleasant to use. They are closed between 11 and 12.30 for cleaning. We will certainly return.

 We visited Hayfield last year and booked again with some trepidation having encountered similar problems as others last year. However, we needn't have worried as the wardens are new and very welcoming despite a huge influx of new arrivals on Friday. We had a nice pitch on the left field.

Warning to all late Friday arrivals that you do need to book a table in the pubs as they stop serving at 9 and the chip shop closes at 9! Luckily the George hotel came to our rescue and served us at just after 9.00pm on Friday. The food was excellent and good value for money!

Recommend the walk up Lantern Pike - steep in parts and windy but excellent views.

 This was our first visit to a Camping and Caravanning Club Site. We spent one night here. The wardens/ site managers were friendly and helpful. Toilets and showers were clean. There is a small shop on site which sells the basic essentials food wise and membership packs for the C&CC. The site does not take caravans but allows motorhomes and tents. There is a lovely walk along the river into Hayfield itself where you can find a fish and chip shop, off licence, post office and a selection of pubs. We had a very good meal in the George Hotel. There is no electric hook up provided on this site.

 Seven of us (3 adults + 4 children) have just spent a very pleasant weekend here. The location was fantastic for us as we could walk direct from the campsite to the hills (Kinder Scout). In fact I didn’t use the car till we departed on Sunday. Maybe since the earlier reviews the manager has been on an anger management course (or been replaced!) as he and his staff were very friendly and helpful. Upon arrival we were escorted to our pitch which was clearly marked, we camped in the upper of the two fields (left from the entrance) which appeared more pleasant than the lower field. The site was very busy but quiet at night. However in the morning our inconsiderate neighbours were very loud probably attempting to be heard above the sound of their radio! However our other neighbours were very pleasant and apparently camp here every weekend thought the summer! The showers, toilets and washing up facilities were clean and coped well with an almost fully populated site. The camp shop sells basics only including gas. We frequented the Sportsman pub on Saturday night which is a short walk away. The staff were very welcoming and nice to the children. We had reserved a table which is recommended as it gets busy on the weekends. They serve quite good food although slightly pricey (especially desserts) and there is a children’s menu. Overall Hayfield Campsite is an excellent tent only site in an idyllic location - we would definitely recommend it and visit again.

 Our first camping trip of the year and our first time at Hayfield.  We were a bit worried about the other reviews regarding the site managers (sounded like we were going to stay at colditz!) but it couldn't be further from the truth.  From the minute we arrived to leaving the site he couldn't have been more helpful. 
 
The camp was clean and tidy with excellent shower and toilet facilities - nice and warm for when you take a shower.  The shop was stocked with all the basic's but a larger grocer's and shop are only a short walk away along the stream in Hayfield village. 
 
There is a children's play area a few minutes walk away, which my kids loved.
 
The closest pub to the site is the Sportsman and again the manager there was very pleasant, came and sat with us for a chat, even though it was busy.  There is a lovely beer garden to the rear and kids are welcome.
 
Had a great stay even though the weather could have been better and  we plan to visit again soon.

 Nice clean well ordered site, two level narrow fields. Plenty of good walking within easy reach e.g. Kinder Scout. A few hundred yards from site of the plaque commemorating the famous Mass Tresspass on Kinder of 1932. Hayfied, with a selection of pubs, chip shop, and grocery and a vegetable shop, is only 20 mins easy walk. The site is fairly basic with clean toilets & hot showers and a small camp shop. But be warned the site manager has a short fuse, ignorance of his rules is no excuse - he is quite the rudest site manager I have come across in 60 plus years of camping. That's pity because the site is good and worth a visit. His assistants/wife are fine.
