 This is a regular site for us and I have reviewed it before, however as this was our first trip out since the COVID restrictions were eased slightly, I thought I would do a quick review of how the site is dealing with the current situation.
When we were there the toilet block was open but only for the toilets and wash hand basins, not the showers. Three people are allowed in the toilet block at any one time and a rubber band system is used to indicate how many people are currently in the block. However unfortunately many people were forgetting to replace their bands after using the toilets, so it appeared that the toilet block was full when in reality there was only one person or even no one inside! This is not the sites fault though!
The wardens were doing an excellent job at keeping everything really clean and social distancing was well maintained. The normal check-in process was changed so instead of going to reception when you arrived, you were met on the driveway by a warden who gave you a plan of the site and sent you directly to find a pitch. Once set up, you returned to reception at your leisure to pay and get your door key to the estate.
We love staying here because of the access through the door into the Chatsworth estate and the many many different walks that you can go on directly from the site. It was lovely to be back after lockdown and the wardens were doing a great job to ensure that everyone had a pleasant and safe stay.

I wasn’t expecting to like this campsite quite as much as I did. :-) Our preference is usually for informal small sites, CS or CLs, where the children can run, your nearest neighbour is half a field away, the price is low and all-in, and it doesn’t matter where you pitch relative to a peg. However, we fancied a change and I’m really pleased we did.
Yes, the pitching process is pernickety, the neighbours were closer than I like, and the pitch was smaller than we are used to (in fairness, it was probably a good size - we are just unaccustomed to defined borders these days 🙂). And the pricing system was a revelation - when you’re used to paying a single price regardless of number of occupants/awning status/age of kids (how do I know in advance whether I’ll bother with the awning, whether I’ll bring the porch awning or full one - it depends on the forecast/whether we bring bikes - how am I supposed to know this in advance 🤯🤦🏽♀️).
But the welcome was warm, the wardens were friendly and approachable, the site was quiet and felt secure, and the secret door giving access to the whole Chatsworth estate was a delight.
We’d been slightly uneasy about the single track access road, but their arrivals and departures system worked well.
There’s a small playground - aimed at younger children than my 9&14 year olds.
We didn’t use the facilities, though the Covid wristband system was simple and straightforward. Our pitch had an Elsan emptying point and a fresh water point - they were very much appreciated after a long day of walking!
The shop seemed well-stocked, though we had everything we needed for a short stay so I didn’t investigate too closely. Fresh bread and pies are available to order daily from Bloomers in Bakewell - definitely one for next time.
We’ve gone from it being a spur of the moment visit that we had no intention to repeat to it being our first planned place to visit once lockdown is lifted!
Apparently I can’t submit my review without leaving a rating for the site facilities - we didn’t go into the toilet blocks/buy anything from the shop but I can’t leave that box empty so have given it a 9 🥴

Excellent site. Great staff who are very helpful. Good little shop on site. All Covid measures being exceptionally well followed.
The best thing is the easy access to the grounds of Chatsworth Estate, with miles of lovely walks.
We will be back.

Fantastic site - wardens couldn’t have been friendlier and helpful with advice on Covid-19 restrictions - helpful that the site has a couple of unisex toilets which reduces queuing for the facilities block where only 3 people are allowed in at any one time.
We had pre booked tickets to visit the gardens of the house and were more than happy with our visit- the gardens are huge and allow dogs which we’ve not found elsewhere. I had thought an hour would be long enough to explore but three hours later we were still wandering around.
Didn’t get round to walking in to Baslow or completing the walks of the estate suggested by Chatsworth - will have to save those for our return visit.

This is our go to site and I have reviewed it before but thought I would add another Covid19 review! We went for 3 nights just after the site opened again after lockdown.
Things were being managed very well. There was a maximum of 3 people allowed in the toilet block at any one time but they also have 2 separate toilets accessed from the side of the toilet block which were always open if you just needed the toilet and there were 3 people already in!
The wardens were doing a great job at keeping the site clean and had made a few changes to make life a bit easier for them, for example all bins were removed from service points and instead you had to take your rubbish to a large industrial sized bin by the toilet block. This wasn’t really much of an inconvenience and it meant that the wardens didn’t have to touch the bins which helps to keep them safer.
Generally people were paying attention to social distancing and we had a really enjoyable stay. We mainly like the area for walking which is what we did and came across very few others on our numerous walks in the area.

It’s been a few years since we have been to Chatsworth but it is still a fantastic place to go. So here are the good and bad points;
Good;
Location is outstanding being right in the Chatsworth Estate. You get a key to a “magic” gate (as my daughter calls it) which takes you into the park for a twenty minute walk to the house or the other way to Baslow.
Good selection of local restaurants with 20% discount (Mon-Fri) at The Wheatsheaf
The facilities are clean, well lit and lovely and warm.
Pitches have a TV aerial connection but 15m+ cable needed on most pitches.
Pitches level and dry
Wardens knowledgable and helpful
Bad points;
Very expensive at over £100 for 2 nights!

This is a regular haunt of ours and we love the location of the site, right in the grounds of the Chatsworth estate.
The shower block is well equipped and clean but the water pressure is very poor when the site is busy.
Unfortunately on our last visit we were evacuated from the site due to flooding but this is the only time this has happened to us in about 20 visits so I assume it is a rare occurrence.

We visited this site in order to Attend the RHS Chatsworth Flower Show and this site cold not be closer to the action!
The site staff were very friendly, professional and a credit to the Club. We were in a queue of 'vans on arrival but were soon checked in and on our pitch.
Just a walk through the 'gate in the wall' takes you into the park of Chatsworth House, which is well worth a visit along with the gardens and estate.
I imagine that when there is no big event on this site would be quite a gem to use.
We were very pleased with our stay; facilities on site were up to the usual Club standards.

Lovely site with gate straight into the chatsworth estate Baslow 15 min walk left the house 15 walk to the right.
Both the pubs in Baslow accept dogs and food in both is good. Booked for the horse trials next year they were setting the jumps for this year's which look amazing.
Our dog loved all the walks from the site. We visited the farm shop which had some lovely food and gifts. The only thing (which the site can't control) are the crows squawking at the crack of dawn, oh and the ducks clattering on the roof at 6am and the price nearly double for a bank holiday but apart from that superb
