 This was our first visit to this site! We were overwhelmed with how lovely this site is!The pitches were huge and the facilities were up to date and spotless - even better than some hotels we have been in!
Lots of space for children to let off steam, so we were pleased when we were asked on the phone if we wanted to be put somewhere quieter!
It is laid out in attractive terraces, with some privacy between each pitch and lots of greenery!
The owners and their staff were so friendly and helpful!
There is a nice walk to the local garden centre (Scotland Nurseries)which has a nice tea room and restaurant and gives 10% discount off breakfast when you mention the site!
We will definitely return!

Excellent, attractive well maintained site. Obviously laid out by people who know what caravanners look for. Level hard standing pitches are huge (rock pegs + heavy hammer essential). Even Vans pitched sideways with awnings, annexes, outdoor furniture barbecues in position and tow cars parked have space left.
The facilities are spotlessly clean at all times.
The site at night is very quiet.Apart from weekend motorcycles which congregate in Matlock Bath and buzz about like demented wasps. Not a problem though.
Plenty to do in the area. Wingfield Hall is a no no. It is now a ruin closed to everyone. We found.
Best shopping town. Chesterfield
Best Chippy. Matlock Green
Best pub grub Royal Oak Tansley.
Nearest Supermarkets Somerfield,Co-Op,Sainsbury
All in Matlock.
Thanks to all the staff for a great stay.
Don't expect great fuel economy.All Derbyshire roads appear to be uphill whichever direction you choose. Kelstedge Bank is a stunner.

Second visit to this site. Again spotlessly clean and tidy with very helpful staff.
Lots of places of interest locally, good areas for walking, cycling.
The Gate Public House in Tansley village well worth a visit the meals were excellent.
Will be returning at New Year

Sadly we only had one night on this lovely site! We had booked two but had to leave a day early. We were given a full refund for the night we missed too.
The pitches were massive and all hardstandings. There are 2 toilet/shower blocks on site, that were absolutely spotless at all times. There is also an indoor washing up area with 2 sinks and a microwave for campers to use. There was also a laundry and spotless wet rooms with toilets and privacy cubicles with sinks in each block. There is a great dog walk on site, although it was very misty and muddy the day we were there.
We nipped into the Scotland Nursery (nearest garden centre) on arrival and found it to be very expensive! The next garden centre (on the way to Matlock) is in Tansley (Matlock Garden Centre). The food looked good and was well priced but no dogs were allowed in the garden centre including the outside seating area. We had some good pub grub in the local in Tansley (The Royal Oak Inn) - a proper old fashioned pub with friendly landlord - well behaved dogs welcome - cash only behind the bar though, which includes for food! The walk from Lickpenny into Matlock seemed endless and we found Matlock to be a bit of a 'scruffy' town.
We only had one day there so didn't get to visit any other area, which we're assured would've been much nicer than the town area. Buses are not very frequent and don't stop anywhere near the campsite. The walk back to the site from Matlock - all uphill - is a killer! A lovely site but not what we would call a 'motorhome site' as there's nothing within a reasonable walking distance or a decent bus service! Would recommend it to caravanners or anyone with a car though.

Our first visit to this site but I am sure it wont be our last. The site is spotlessly clean and tidy, from the toilet and shower blocks, to the childrens playground. We had a deluxe pitch with a view to Riber castle. Unfortunately due to the weather on saturday it wasn't visible. But it was there sunday morning once the mist had gone :-)
It was great having your own water on tap and your own drainage for just a little extra charge. Our pitch was very spacious and private with hedges either side.
We drove into Matlock and also Dovedale and Carsington Water. There's alot of beautiful places to visit close by to the site. It is a lovely site and well worth a visit :-)

What a fantastic site. Only our second site to visit and this was one to put in our favourites book.
The shower block and toilets were spotless with everything in them including a hairdryer(nice smelling soap too)
The pitches are very generous and private.
The whole site is well kept pleasant and clean. We will definitely be ging to this one again and it is only 25 mins from home LOL.

Nice sized hardstanding pitches with water and chemical disposal close by. Clean shower block and small but well stocked shop on site. Nice views and mature grounds.
Generous dog walk in the centre of the site with gravel pathways and trees all around. The bluebells were out too.
We had a very pleasant weekend here and will be returning.

Lovely site with good views especially from the super pitches.
Toilet, washing and laundry facilities are excellent and spotlessly clean. The shower blocks were well heated too.
The dog walking areas were impressive and there was plenty of space for energetic children.
I was on a service pitch with 16 amp electric, waste and water but unfortunatley my aqua roll hose didn't fit the tap. My fault I suppose but it's worth checking you have the correct fitting.
The pitch was a big, flat hardstanding. Separated from the neighbouring pitch by a raised mound/feature. Most of the other pitches looked large too. All of them had a boundary of some sort and some were afforded a degree of privacy. The site is well laid out and appears to have good drainage.
The location is fairly central for Peak District activities. Matlock Bath is 10 minutes away. Chatsworth 20 mins. Ashbournes a little further but worth a visit. My wife and I used the site as a base for walking around Dovedale and Chatsworth.
I didn't indulge but a cooked breakfast or lunch is available at a garden centre just five minutes walk from the site.
I like this site and will definitely be back.

Fab site with attractive surroundings. Most pitches are individual divided by greenery.
Toilets / Showers get 10/10 they are very clean and a good size.
Facilities are dotted about the site so there is no trekking with waste water to the other side of the site.
Will visit this site again without hesitation.
A pub or social area on site would make this site perfect. We stayed on New Years Eve and people gathered on the road at midnight.

Well what can I say about this site that hasn't already been said, this was our first visit & I’m sure we will be going back. The site is in a beautiful location, the staff are nice, it's got two lovely clean shower & toilet blocks with plenty of hot water & a good kids play area.
The only thing that I thought could be done to improve things slightly would be better signage when approaching from Matlock, you go through Tansley & up a bank before taking a right turn down a country lane which was not signposted at all. We completely missed this & I had to turn around , not easy with the van on! I only noticed the site by chance as I drove past the end of the lane.
We stayed here over the weekend to visit Matlock bath during their illuminations, the parade of illuminated boats are well worth seeing, and on the weekend of our visit there was also a firework display. However if you are planning a visit, Matlock bath does get very busy during these times & parking can be a problem so use the park & ride from Matlock or Cromford.
