 Lickpenny is right up there with the very best sites in the country. That is if you like well kept, well thought out friendly sites. It doesn't have a pool or club house, but it does have a large play area/park for the kids, a very nice wooded dog walk and top class toilet/shower blocks.
We use Lickpenny as a weekend break destination as we only live 45 mins away and have visited most areas in Derbyshire many times. If you have never visited before you could spend a week or more here and still never see all the area has to offer.
Just one thing stops the site being perfect and that's the fact you need to jump in the car to go anywhere(not a fault of the site though).

We've just returned from a great weekend staying at Lickpenny. Having read all the previous reviews pretty much all of them were spot on.
The welcome was warm, the pitch was certainly on the large size enabling us to park sideways to take advantage of the fantastic views (we booked a deluxe pitch). The toilet block was clean and spacious (there are 3 showers, 3 toilet cubicles and a combined cubicle).
We took a stroll down into Tansley to find a pub to eat in on Friday evening (its about a mile and its all downhill - be sure to do a right then left outside of the park and past the garden centre as its much quicker than going up to the main road). We had a great meal in the Tavern which is the first pub you come across followed by a couple of beers in the Oak which has recently undergone a refurbishment - its more of an eating pub now and was much busier than the Tavern. We wimped out of the walk back and got a local taxi (Fox Taxis) back to the campsite at a very reasonable £4.50.
On saturday we took a taxi into Matlock and then walked along the river into Matlock bath (about half an hour tops). Whatever you do avoid The Midland pub on the left hand side as you come into Matlock bath - its dreadful; instead I'd say head further into Matlock bath and there's a pub on the right handside (i forget the name ! but you shouldnt miss it as its next to a chip shop) and dates back to 1610. Great food and lovely locals to boot.
Sunday saw a leisurely drive to Chatsworth - well worth the visit even though they're undergoing some major work on the building
All in all, a great weekend and I'd be more than happy to stay at Lickpenny again

I have just been to lickpenny lane. I must say the site is outstanding. I have only one problem with the site, my pitch was number 45 and i had one family walking through my pitch for a shortcut. Apart from that i have no problems with the site.
The garden centre across the road do a good breakfast if you feel like spoiling yourself and matlock is a nice town

Lickpenny is a truly fantastic site, we have been here about 5 or six times over the last couple of years and would not stay any where else in this area.
The pitches are huge and all hard standing, plenty of water points around and tarmac access roads to them all. There are some Super Pitches too in a little separate cul-de-sac, great if you have no kids, but if you have, you are better down in main site by the play area.
The toilet blocks are always warm and immaculately clean, the little launderette has a couple of washers and dryers, but not overpriced.
Small on site shop in reception selling basics and they will order newspapers for you.
The wardens are very friendly and helpful, really great when we got a flat battery, back in December 07 we arrived in the dark and left the headlights on the car to set up, the wardens came after hours with jump leads to get us going so we could go out for our evening meal, real customer service.
Site has good open spaces and does not cram too many people in and even when full, does not feel it.
Site has good access and is about a 15 minute drive into Matlock Bath, 30 minutes to Chatsworth and 45-60 mins into Buxton. We visit Carsington Water for walks and it has a great kids play area and visitor centre. The Crich Tramway village is also worth a visit.
There is a Sainsbury's in Matlock for shopping and a small CO-OP.
The park in Matlock is nice too, has a paddling pool, play area, skate park and is pleasant just for a walk through.
We love this area and this site and even use it as a stopover when we are on our way down south.
Highly recommended.

Me, the other half and two teenagers stayed here for Easter. We had a lovely few days. The staff were very friendly. Site was secure with a barrier. Pitches have to be the largest we have ever come across. We stayed at the top of the site. Amazing views.
Toilet/shower area. Although it was clean we felt that there weren't enough showers for the size of the site and had to queue each time. The weather was not great and the facilities did get quite muddy at times. Why cant people use the mop and buckets provided to leave the areas clean and tidy for everyone.
Site is well situated for discovering the Matlock area and we were never short of things to do. Small play area for younger kids.
Shop on site sells the basics. Farm shop nearby that made fantastic cakes. Scottish Nurseries (Garden Centre) about 2 mins walk away. Great little farm not too far away where you can get up very close to all the animals and feed them - even our two teenagers enjoyed this place. The information booth on the site will have the leaflets.

Just spent 7 nights at this site and enjoyed every minute of it.At this site there is no fault at all every where was spotless The clean water, waste water, waste and rubbish bin areas were well kept.Laundry room, drying room, family room with kids bath standards very good. All pitches are all hard standing and nice and big you will need rock pegs for awning. Nice park for the kids to play lots of grass for ball games.The toilets/showers were always clean.
We will definitely return next year

What a lovely well equipped site! This is our first year of touring and we were a little hesitant about being out and about during cold winter months. The weather was cold but the site was well equipped to make up for it. Most importantly the electric never failed! (As has done on other sites), and the free showers were lovely and hot - just what you need after bracing winter walks. The pitches are generous in size and the surrounding wooded area was perfect for walking Angus (our west highland white). The on-site shop is basic but stocks the essentials. The staff were extremely helpful and ordered our morning tabloids for us.
A lovely site in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside!
See you in the summer!

This was our 2nd visit this year and we loved it just as much again! The pitches are really big and the facilities spotless!
We found another lovely garden centre just 5 minutes away from Scotland Nurseries.
Bakewell market on a Monday is excellent and worth going to!
We will definitely go again next year.
Chatsworth decorated for Christmas was lovely, although a bit expensive.

Good site, good location, shower blocks kept to a very high standard. Pitches very large some with outstanding views. Small shop at reception selling basic provisions, excellent play area,ideal location for visiting peaks. Good shopping in Matlock about 3 miles away.Matlock bath well worth a visit with heights of Abraham cable car and Gullivers kingdom. We have visited Lickpenny on numerous occasions at different times of the year and have never been disappointed.

I found this site last year and have just spent a month here again, and I must say it is still top of my list. Spotless showers and toilets, potwashing and food prep area of the same high standard. Huge hardstanding pitches, great kids play area and loads of grass for ball games. Staff still very helpful. Plenty to do in Matlock and Matlock bath (5 mins in car) will be back again next year.
