 The staff are incredibly friendly & the views breathtaking. Unfortunately we were told on booking that the field we wanted (overlooks Haddon Hall in he distance)wasn't open, yet when we got there is was open! Disappointing as the field we were put in had the tents very close together. Filled mainly with families with children.
The playing field & kids area ideally placed next to the outside seating area at the bar, so at least parents can have a beer & keep an eye on the kids at the same time. Handy covered area for when its raining!
The only downside for this site is the size of the shower cubicles. Too small to have an adult & child in there together. Not enough hooks or seating in the cubicles. When its wet the floors get vey muddy & slippy, despite signs asking people to remove muddy shoes & to mop up after themselves. Overall a good site, within walking distance of Bakewell, but if camping the size of the shower cubicles could be problematic.

Four adults, one almost 3-year old and a dog spent 4 fantastic nights here. Our pitch was well suited for the size of tent we were using (we were close to water supply and toilets). Second car had to be parked away from the pitch once we had set up but this wasn't a problem.
The site is close to Bakewell (adults and dogs can walk it) and is well situated for visiting areas of interest (e. G. Haddon Hall, The 'Plague Village' of Eyam - we'd also recommend a ride on the steam train from Rowsley to Matlock).
The site has a children's play-park, a bar and a small shop. Toilets/showers clean and water was nice and hot. Pot washing area (sheltered) with a (free) freezer available for your ice packs.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
First time our grandaughter had been camping, she loved every minute of it and made friends (lots!). Her comment when we had to leave sums it up - 'But I don't want to go home yet, I like it here'

Just returned from 7 nights at Greenhills with mixed feelings.
On a positive note, the area is beautiful, Bakewell is a lovely town and Ashford is very pretty. Nearby to lots of attractions in Matlock area and Chatsworth is only 10 minutes drive away. I would definitely return to this region but sadly not this site.
On arriving we were greeted by a lovely lady who showed us to our pitch. We were quite shocked at how many tents had been crammed in, there was a real lack of privacy, several campers near us had to shuffle their cars around to get in and out of their pitch.
We couldn't park near our tent which was a pain because we tend to store items in the boot. That said it was school holidays when we visited so I don't think it would be a problem out of season.
The facilities: the pub is very quaint and a great addition to the site, children's play facilities are near so adults can have a drink while the children play. We felt the play area could do with a few extras, swings, slide, etc.
Shop is well stocked and has everything you need, some items a little over priced, eg cans of coke £1. Information cabin useful, some nice touches, book swap and old magazines, etc. Nice field for football and ball games.
The biggest negative is the shower facilities, there is nowhere to wash a child other than the main sinks. The showers are very cramped, fine for one but with a child it was a real struggle, nowhere to put shower gel, etc, try picking this up from the floor with a child in the shower too!
No separate washcabins and I don't feel it is appropriate washing down a children in the main sinks when others are brushing their teeth etc there too. There are plenty of toilets and a separated portaloo cabin with more toilets and showers (but why no family room).
The cleaning appeared to include mopping floors with dettol and wiping toilet seats and sinks. The back of the shower doors were very yucky, hairy and mouldy and top of toilets, etc grimy and it was old dirt as if they had never been thoroughly cleaned.
I think the cleanliness could really be improved, even if they did a thorough clean once a week. Nice pot washing area, but tepid water temperature not hot enough to cope with greasy pans, needs to be hotter.
The massive skips in the rubbish area were completely overflowing when we arrived, not a nice view as you enter the site, some screening would improve this.
I hope I don't sound too negative as we did have a lovely week as the weather was fantastic and we enjoyed the area, but I think with a few tweaks this could be a lovely site, especially if visiting out of season when it is less cramped.

The wardens/managers of this site are really helpful and very friendly. It's well located on the edge of Bakewell just off the A6, it has a well stocked shop, a bar and a good children's play area. There was a children's entertainer in the bar area on the weekend we stayed, which our daughter absolutely loved.
The site was fully booked the weekend we were there. There was no need to queue for the toilets and the ladies loos were always clean. My daughter and I used our caravan shower so I can't comment on those facilities but they looked to be very busy. My husband was less than complementary about the cleanliness of men's loos and had to queue both mornings for the showers. There did often seem to be a queue for the washing up facilities as we walked past.
The views from the site were lovely, but the pitches did feel rather regimented. This was our first stay on a busy commercial site and I think we'll perhaps go for much smaller sites in future as we did feel quite overlooked and very close to our neighbours. It cost us £26. 50 per night for two adults and a four year old on a gravel pitch with EHU.

We book here every year with our Netball Club and we go next weekend and I can't wait.
The staff are friendly and helpful and try to resolve any complications we've had in the past as soon as poss.
The toilets and shower blocks are kept clean and so is the rest of the site. The bar is great and the children's play area is good too.
As I said, we come back annually so it must be good. We book between 10 - 20 pitches and the staff are flexible to help everyone settle in!
I'm sure we will be booking again for next year!

Rang up to book for a night at the last minute as we were off to visit friends and fancied a day in Bakewell. The lady on the phone was very pleasant, I mentioned the UKCS £10 offer they advertised, I also mentioned hard standing and adults only area. She said there was a school booked in but they were over the other side.
We found the site easily, it is marked off the main road, there is a long drive past gated areas of chalets, then the main field is at the top. We were booked in quickly by the friendly staff, everything was explained to us, and our pitch indicated, it was on gravel not far from the main buildings.
It rained steadily throughout the rest of the evening and until we left the following morning so we didn't get to look round the rest of the site, it is quite large with several fields, we could see the school tents in the distance.
Our gravel pitch was great, nice and flat, and the gravel patches were divided by strips of grass where you could sit out if you liked.
The persistant rain caused a lot of large puddles outside the main buildings, but no flooding.
There are 2 facility blocks in that area, the brick one was modern with lots of toilets, 3 or 4 free showers, and 3 or 4 basins, but none enclosed.
The block was cleaned regularly, and despite the rain and mud outside didn't get too bad. Could have done with an extra mat inside the door as well as outside. OH mentioned that in the men's people had gone into the showers with muddy feet, despite the notice asking you not too, and hadn't mopped up afterwards either.
The second block was a portable cabin with toilets showers and basins. Neither block was over busy when I went in.
Washing up was outside under cover. Lots of friendly chat over the washing up, many people seemed to be regular visitors.
There is a shop and bar but we didn't use them. There is a children's' play area under the trees outside the bar.
Lots to do in the area, leaflets available at reception.

Stayed for a weekend at Greenhills holiday park in April 2011.
There is a playground area for the kids and a field to play football.
There is a shop on the site, which is well stocked. Milk can be bought from the reception, when the shop is closed. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The showers and toilets were very clean. We had to queue for the showers.
Only 30 mins walk to Bakewell, which is enjoyable along the river.

Just returned from a 5 night stay here at the special offer rate of £10 per night!yes that's right £10.
Greenhills is a lovely site, friendly helpful wardens, large pitches on hard standing, the most fantastic views, d of e award folk were well behaved and no trouble at all.
All facilities were kept very clean through the 5 days visit, shop open twice a day, bar open all day 10am till 11pm, 2 playgrounds for small and larger children, playing field, dog walk, nature trail.
Shall return again to this very welcoming, quiet site(week days) As my visit was sun - thurs I cannot speak for weekends but am told that it gets very busy with consequent noise.
Bakewell 20 mins walk, nice town with good shops, river walk etc, market on mondays. Buxton / Ashbourne / Leek / Matlock all within easy travelling distance
Looking forward to my next visit in September.

On arrival we were greeted by two extremely friendly site managers who showed us to our pitch. The site is extremely well kept, the toilet and shower facilities are clean to a very high standard and the play park is a real bonus.
The on-site bar had three very well kept real ales which we could sample on the terrace while the kids played in the park, and on Saturday evening there was even a free magic show which the kids loved.
My only minor criticisms are that the pitch was a little snug for my Montana 6, my car and my trailer and that because the site is extremely popular it became very, very full and that brought with it a certain amount of noise at night.
The site is just a short walk from the lovely town of Bakewell - we recommend that you buy a pudding from Bloomers and visit the old house museum. Eyam (plague village) is also well worth a visit.

My wife and I have just spent a friday and saturday night here, here is my review!
On arrival we was greeted by a lovely lady in reception, who was organised and had us sorted in five minutes.
Our pitch was lovely, nice and flat, not the biggest pitch but was fine for our 4 man tent and car parked at the side. If we put our bigger tent up we would of just had to park our car at the front of the tent.
Facilities- a pretty well stocked shop that sold everything we forgot! Gas bottle exchange, really nice and clean toilet/shower facilities/pot washing area, reception area that also does ice lollies and coffees when the bar is closed, the bar is great, open from 10am (no booze till 12) till 11pm.
They have created a generous sized area for ball games etc to be played on, which keeps it nice and calm around the tents!
If thing did get out of hand, there are plenty of wardens about who keep things in order.
Two separate dog walking areas and a nature trial.
We walked into Bakewell, which takes about 20 mins, but you could catch a bus or drive, but parking seems a bit limited, and it does get busy, if you do drive I would get there for about 8. 45, parking costs about £3 for four hours, and on the last sat of the month, there is a farmers market.
We loved this site so much we are going back soon with the kids and cannot wait to pitch up again in our new tent!
It is perfect for families and couples alike, with them even providing entertainment for the kids on most Saturday nights.
You wont go wrong by visiting here.
