 Arrived after a long drive to the site. Was met by a helpful warden and were allowed to found our own vacant pitch at the top of the site opposite the shower block. Entry to toilets is via a key as is the barrier at the entrance to the site. The shower block appeared new and was very clean and tidy. We visited the potteries in Stoke and can recommend the Gladstone museum. We ate at the Thai in Leek but cannot recommend as the food was poor. Went to Ye Old Rock Inn down the road just for a drink which was fine but the menu did not look up to much. Overall the site was excellent and would stay again.

Great site. When we arrived thought there was going to be a few rules about the place ie how you MUST park your vehicle etc which I appreciate as safety is important but the rules didn't turn out to be that bad as I thought. Nice friendly staff. Nice and quiet apart from some dogs barking but that's the fault of the owners and not the site, Great clean showers, easy walk about 10 minutes to three horseshoe pub and they do a great bacon sandwich. No shops nearby and nearest town you would have to get a bus (which stops outside site) however the shop stocks some essentials. Lovely walk to the reservoir about 1 mile and then a 4.75 mile walk around the water with some steep parts. The fish and chip van comes on a Saturday between 5-6pm yummy. It doesn't allow tents so our friends stayed down the road in the next site. The only fault is I prefer grass pitches rather than gravel but it doesn't put me off and I would return again

Compelled to write a review after a fantastic visit here. A lot of reviews state unfriendliness of staff, this is the opposite of what we found, so either it has new staff or they have learnt from their poor reviews. The staff couldn't do enough even opening the shop for my daughter to get a 10p chocolate bar half hour before they were due to open. I was actually put off staying by previous reviews and sent my husband in to book in but he came out saying the staff couldn't have been nicer.
Site was clean and all you would expect from a quality caravan club site, beautiful area, pub nearby despite being expensive was in a wonderful position with the beer garden overlooking The Roaches. Tittesworth reservoir, a walk away has a fantastic play area, play area on site also nice. Arrangement of pitch we were in and some others in alcoves gave nice bit of privacy. Highly recommended.

We visited this site @end of May 2013.
2 adults one teenager and dogs.
The site was very well kept.
We had a hard standing at the top of the site, near to the play area and the top toilet block. The toilet block was clean and tidy.
Good play area for the little ones.
Dog walk on edge of site behind some of the pitches. Muddy.
Wardens were NOT very friendly, did their job, nothing more, No smiles or 'hello' when they were walking around the site.
We visited Trentham gardens to see the monkeys walking about. Very interesting. No dogs allowed in for obvious reasons!
We went to Rudyard Reservoir one day. After whom Rudyard
Kipling got, his name. Walked around the Reservoir. Easy walking with a stop half way at the Visitor
Centre and cafe and toilets. Food, very good and reasonably priced. There is a miniature railway along one side of the reservoir which is lovely for the little ones.
The Three Horseshoes Pub is a short walk away. No dogs allowed inside. It has good bar food, a carvery and a brasserie.
There is another pub in the opposite direction in the next village. It is up quite a steep hill and along the very busy main road. Not open when we arrived. Opens @6pm.
Would we visit, again? maybe or maybe stay on the
Caravan and Camping site which is just up the road. , and was more, friendly when we stayed there last year!

Lovely site what is expected from a Caravan Club site, stayed on the top level very quite and spacious.
No small children with us so can't comment on child friendliness.
Surroundings are lovely visited the Reservoir had afternoon tea in the information centre, scones are really nice. Visited three horseshoes inn lovely food.
Will be returning this year as we have friends to visit in the area so it will be Blackshaw Moor first choice.

Visited this site for 2 nights over weekend. Arrived on Friday lunchtime, check in very quick and easy, site was pretty empty so lots of pitches to choose from.
We selected a site on the top tier because we had read the reviews informing us of the road noise on the lower levels.
We could still hear some road noise but it did not disturb us at all.
The toilet block at the top of the field is very old the entrance is very dark and dingy, desperately needs a refurb.
The toilets/showers on the lower levels are much better.
Once again there is a key system to get into the toilet/shower block which I just find annoying having to keep remembering to take the key with you.
The pitches are good on this site most of them have a privacy hedge around them. We had an end pitch which was very spacious.
Can recommend the 3 horseshoes inn which is within walking distance of site. Had a really nice carvery there, good value for money for the area.
We did a cycle ride on the manifold trail which is a very safe off road cycle route (suitable for children) which is about 5 miles from the site.
We enjoyed our weekend at this site and would definitely return to the area.

Found the site easily. On arrival found the female warden rather unhelpful with regards to which pitches we still vacant. Found a nice pitch at the bottom of the site (now as other reviews stated it wasn't at times peaceful)
The toilet etc where always clean (bottom block) but only three showers. On our last morning the heavens opened and our pitch plus several around us flooded due to the a mount of rain running from the top of site.
The site was well kept and a pretty site.
I would recommend the Three Horseshoe Pub a short walk away lovely food. Please avoid Ye Olde Rock Inn. Food terrible plus bad service.
I don't think I would visit this site again as we visited everything we planned to see.

Our second visit to this lovely site. We only live 15 miles away but enjoy being away for a relaxing break sometimes without the 'big journey'.
Toilets clean (nice having two blocks that are not both closed at the same time for cleaning so there is always an option).
Three horseshoes is within a level walking distance (bit expensive though). Our favourite is Ye Olde Rock Inn, turn right out of the site, quarter of the way up the hill turn left (pub signposted) and it just on the right - big car park if you can't face the walk. It is a bit uphill in places but not too far. Food is really good and priced well. We also loved the Lazy Trout that is past Tittesworth Reservoir in Meerbrooke.
Road noise could be a problem on the bottom level of the site if you are not used to it. We find half way up the site is just right. When we were there the field behind at the top was being used by 3/4 youngsters on there scramble bikes but it didn't go on forever and most people were out and about anyway.
Wardens lovely.

We visited this site over new years eve, which was windy and wet! The very top section of the site was closed along with the facilities which are positioned in that area.
The site is on a slope but most of the pitches appeared to be fairly level with only minimal use of additional levelling equipment evident throughout out the site. We had heavy rain during our stay and a couple of pitches were flooded, however it was clear that the wardens knew which were likely to flood as they were cordoned off. Our pitch was lovely and big with a small hedge separating us from our neighbours and a larger hedge separating us from the opposite pitches making it very private, many blue tits played in these hedges throughout our stay which was lovely to watch.
The toilet/ shower etc block situated by the reception office was to the usual very acceptable caravan club site and during our stay was kept warm and clean.
A bus passes the site a couple of times a day taking you to either Buxton or Leek depending on which way you go. It's not what I would call frequent, at three hourly intervals but with some forward planning a day out on the bus is possible. Leek is only 3/4 miles away and has a couple of small supermarkets and shops, pubs and restaurants. Buxton is a little further in the opposite direction but is a lovely Victorian town with a far bit to wander round and look at.
Turn left out of the site and stroll along for 5 mins and you will find the three horseshoe hotel. They have a bar menu which includes a carvery menu, we tried this and it was just lovely. I believe that there is also a restaurant with separate menu. About a mile out of the site to the right is another pub advertising food which we did not try due to the steep hill involved in getting back!
The wardens looking after the site over new year were lovely, friendly and helpful - a credit to the caravan club network.

We have just returned from a full week here. We had quite a problem negotiating to the site through Buxton (ended up going through the Town Centre which was tight!) but once we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. The area, being in the Derbyshire Dales is VERY hilly but the site itself has small hill but ALL pitches seem flat and level! We were warmly greeted but given keys for the shower/toilet blocks. Not something we expected with a Caravan Club site! We noticed the site was busy but not full and having had a scout round, decided to pitch directly opposite the loo/shower block at the back with the play park only 4 pitches away.
We have a 10 & 11 year old who were slightly bemused by the fact that despite being told had a park, was essentially only a slide and a very small climbing frame, intended for I would say maximum of 8 years. We pitched the awning and were pleased we'd packed the rock pegs as all pitches were hard-standing.
We enjoyed the fish and chip van which came on Saturday night (very clean) and Morrisons is only 4 miles away maximum (This has a fuel station and cafe). Our boys had brought their scooters and amused themselves whilst we got set up, as always there is a one way system in place and thanks to the slight hill following the one way system the boys took great pleasure in scooting downhill then all the way back round uphill only to do it again. Whilst in the queue for the chip van, a Warden approached my eldest and shouted in his ear 'have you any idea how dangerous these are (pointing to his scooter)? Bemused my son replied 'pardon' and the man said these cause fatalities and broken bones. They are dangerous and you shouldn't ride them! Where are your parents?' I was stood right next to him and I replied 'right here, listening!' he humphed and stormed off to the back of the van to claim his free tea! From this, I take it that he doesn't like children and has left a nasty taste in my mouth. There were a couple of other children on site but only seemingly for a night or so.
There is lots to do in the area, Alton Towers is a mere 8 miles away max and Leek is 4. This is a lovely town, Buxton and Bakewell are also jewels in the Derbyshire crown.
The showers and Loos close at 10 - 11 everyday for cleaning and whilst being dated were always lovely and clean, we had rain everyday barring one whilst we were there and the pitch drained very well causing no problems. No problems with the electric and we have had that before on a CC site. There is a bus stop on the main road outside which I am told is regular and bus passes can be used despite being a private company. I would recommend to anyone who is looking to come to the area, just not with children!
