 Lovely clean, quiet campsite. Staff friendly and helpful.
5 minute walk to the nearest bar and restaurant 10 minutes away from Alton Towers.
Good base.

Really enjoyed our long weekend here. My daughter particularly loved all the animals.
The site was spotless as were the toilet and shower facilities, a credit to the staff.
We will definitely be back.

Great base for just relaxing, or to explore the lovely countryside,
You can drop onto a disused railway line into the village of Alton, further on is the Ramblers retreat and further afield, Alton towers is a very short drive, you might be able to walk there,
Would recommend this site cheers

We have just returned from a 3 night stay.
This is a superb campsite close to Alton Towers. We had a lovely stay here,
It has everything you need - great pitches, a toilet and shower block and a ball park for the kids. We will be returning.

We have just returned from 8 nights at Lower Micklin and had a lovely time. Upon arrival we had to pay for the additional guests as our initial payment is only including 2 adults.
Pitch sizes were fantastic. We have a very large tent & there was stacks of room for the tent, car & space to sit outside. Our pitch was number 25 which was in a separate area to the main stretch. Slightly further up the amenities block but a lovely area.
The only negative was that due to the layout, pitches in this field were in the shade by 4:30 on an evening, which was a real shame when the rest of the campsite was basking in 25 degree sun! Be mindful of this when booking. Also worth noting is that the pitches in this area only have a 5amp hook-up so we had to be careful of what we could use.
Toilets & showers were fine. There were 2 toilets & showers each for men & ladies, as well as a family room with toilet, shower & baby change. The showers are free, push button with plenty of hot water. They were all cleaned regularly,
There are two wash-up sinks that got busy at peak time. But it was nice to stand and have a natter with the other campers whilst waiting.
There’s a good sized ball field, a wooden play park, and a separate dog walking field. There is a field with alpacas, hens & a cockerel, Oscar the dog, and some guinea pigs.
Quiet time is from 11pm until 7am & we didn’t experience any noise outside these times.
The majority of people using this site are visiting nearby Alton Towers. We didn’t but there was enough to do in the area to keep us busy for 8 days. We went to Waterworld, Carsington, Dovedale, Sudbury Hall, Ashbourne, Tissington and Matlock Bath.
We cooked on site most nights but on the last night we struggled to find somewhere nice to eat that was suitable for the kids. We tried the nearby Blacksmith Arms but even from the car park we could smell the chip pan. We then drove to the Raddle Inn, about 3 miles away. There was a cute play area, but the food was quite poor and very expensive. We did stop for lunch st the local Denstone Hall farm shop. The food here was delicious and the setting was beautiful, I could’ve spent a fortune in the gift shop.

Stayed here for the last 2 nights of 2017, and the first 2 of 2018.
We were part of a group (2x tents and 1x caravan), and due to the time of year, all grass pitches were closed, but we were allocated a hardstanding. Upon arrival, due to recent weather not being too bad, we were allowed to park on the hardstanding and pitch the tents on grass, which was what we preferred and hoped for, so that was a good start!
Whilst no camp site looks it's best during winter, it was clear this site was more than adequate for our first ever New Year camping trip. Pitches/space was ample, and the ground conditions excellent for the time of year. Pegs remained solid, despite consistent wind and rain!
Enough pitches were occupied (all the hardstandings, so officially 'full' for this time of year) to make it seem welcoming, and there was a nice atmosphere about the place, despite the wet, dark, cold and windy conditions.
Booked (and paid) in advance, by 'phone, and reception was welcoming and painless! We had all the facilities we required, and all were clean and practical. We were left to our own devices (with the knowledge that management were there if needed), and in all honesty, that's how we prefer it.
We had a great walk during NYE day, and shared the evening with the rest of our party, and Jools Holland (The joys of having caravan-friends who have a telly and heating!)
Nothing to get overly excited about, but I'm putting that down to the time of year, and the drab weather. All in all, a good site, nice location, and one we would be more than happy to return to.

First visit to this site as a tester for van before main holiday, less than ten miles from our home but could of been hundred miles away.
A small cosy well laid out site with generous pitches mainly hard standing with grey waste drainage and excellent warm/clean toilet/shower facilities and football nets/climbing frame for the kids.
Site is a great base if you wish visit Alton Towers resort at just over 5 min drive away. I for one will be returning again for a chill out weekend, home is where you park it.

We love this site. Have stayed twice, once last August, and once this Easter. Toilet block is clean, and didn't have to queue, although I know it can get a little busy when the site is busy.
It is steep, but easy approach from the road, and being only about 5 minutes away from Alton Towers is fabulous.
My children liked the park, the views are gorgeous. Even the owners dog is very welcoming.

Nice site in a nice location with excellent facilities. Good access to some nice walks. Sheep and chickens and a lovely dog (oscar)for the kids to look at along with a small but fun playpark.
Just the sort of site we like but we won't be going back. Really spoilt by a party with very very loud music from 5pm to 11pm along with associated shouting and swearing.
The owner did seem to sort it out about 10. 40 music wise but the shouting carried on for a while. Too late really anyway when other families are on site.
Last straw was having to move the half empty Tennants cans left in the bathroom this morning so the kids could brush their teeth. Can't recommend the site for this reason.
