 A breezy, out of season, visit to this site, which is close to closing down for the Autumn. Lots of unoccupied caravans and statics on well manicured lawns. The nearby road is noisy and fast and not particularly pleasant to walk along due to the fumes.
Warm and clean toilets, but unfortunately overpriced for October, £26 per night for 1 person with electricity, there are nicer sites cheaper - this is the reason for my lower rating. I'm moving off tomorrow to another site with ensuite pitches for £6 less.

Nice camping area and decent shower block.
Site was quiet on our visit and we were able to camp for one night (not minimum 2 stayed on the website).
Easy to walk in to Buxton and close to Morrison’s supermarket.

A well maintained site, reasonably priced, and a friendly welcome on a very wet Sunday evening. The grassy field was a bit of a problem in the wet and required care to manoeuvre a loaded car without getting stuck - we chose a flatter terrace near the playground.
The site was noisier than we expected - it seems that Dukes Drive is a bit of a rat run on the edge of Buxton, and the flight path for Manchester goes overhead, but it wasn't too bad overall. The site itself was quiet and we heard no noise from other campers. During our stay contractors were installing camping pods, and one day work started at 7. 15am, but I guess that's a short term thing. The pods look good!
The playground is small but well kept (1 toddler and 2 normal swings; 1 wooden tower with slide, another slide and a seesaw; bark choppings underfoot). It's not near the field where ball games are allowed so if you have kids of different ages/with different interests that could be a pain. Games room was quite small but nonetheless appreciated as a dry space when it was tipping down; 50p pool table, a selection of books, a couple of sofas and a table with chairs. There was an extension lead for charging phones etc. , and plenty of info on the local area.
Toilets and showers were spotless, plenty of hot water and (in the ladies' at least) one larger family shower room. Wall hairdryer and a kids' sink step provided. Covered washing up area was good but only 2 sinks so occasional queues. Freezer for ice packs is in the shop so subject to opening hours, but you can borrow theirs if needed which is great. One last domestic thing, there is no recycling which is a bit of a pain - there aren't even any bottle bins etc. At Morrisons.
In terms of things to do nearby, we loved the Monsal Trail and hired bikes from nearby Blackwell Mill. Also really enjoyed Poole's Cavern and the adjacent country park. Buxton is a little bit thin on rainy day fun but the museum (free) is good for an hour or two and swimming is reasonable (kids free) but check if there are lessons scheduled as they kick the public out of the pool. Heights of Abraham was a good day out but take a picnic as the cafe food is uninspiring and overpriced. We can recommend the Old Sun Inn for food, and also had takeaways delivered on a couple of nights when the weather was awful - a benefit of being close to town. Campers get 10% off at the local Wetherspoon's.
In summary, we probably wouldn't go here again as we'd prefer somewhere a little bit quieter and more rural, but it was fine for this break and the proximity to town does have advantages as well as disadvantages.

The site was well maintained with very clean facilities. Nice little games room and park for kids.
Disappointed with the location of our pitch. The bottom pitches are right next to a busy road with cars speeding along throughout the night. The pitches were also very small.
When booking check you get a pitch on the top field. (Most are taken up by seasonal caravans)
The other annoyance was the speed at which the wardens drove around the site. Very dangerous with small children playing.
Finally we felt very sorry for a foreign couple who arrived at 10pm who were told to leave even though the site was relatively empty.

This is a well kept site which has a touring and camping site on two levels including a number of seasonal pitches, it also has statics and lodges in a separate area.
There are quite a few public footpaths close to the site which are well worth travelling for the views from the top of the hills. The staff are really friendly and helpful and really look after the facilities and grassed area's.
Buxton is a short walk away with plenty of bars and entertainment, if you overindulge in the pubs, Lime Tree Park has an arrangement with a local taxi company which gives you a discounted ride back to the park.
We only stayed two nights, so we didn't get time to make the most of Buxton, but we will definitely be returning in the future.

What a welcome we were given when we pulled up to Lime Tree Park, in Buxton! We didn't have a reservation but the woman at the front desk was very accommodating and didn't hesitate to give us a pitch for the night.
We parked up beside a line of trees, near the top field, behind the bins. This, for us, was perfect as we were the only ones who occupied this space and the trees sheltered us from any wind. This site has a huge field for tents, some terraced areas for small campervans and additional tents.
The aforementioned field was occupied by children flying kites, playing frisbee and ball games. The playground, washing up area and toilets/showers were clean and well-stocked. Additionally, there is a farm shop just up the road which sold local produce, ice cream, meats and eggs, and the on-site shop carried sweeties for the kids and a few staples.
We liked camping here so much we asked to stay another night, which the front desk, again, accommodated. All with a smile! Can't wait to return to Lime Tree Park next season.

Stayed in a 3 bedroom caravan last week. On entering thought it nice modern and clean. But as time went on found a few faults, the bedrooms poky, the living space nice and big, but could do with a coffee table.
A bigger tv is needed to, the one we had was too small for the size of the room.
There was no extractor fan over the cooker and the fridge needs an ice box at least. The heating needs attention, I'm an early riser, and was sat there at 6:30am, shivering, also there is a gap at the top of the entry door, you could see daylight from it.
Yes I would say we were disappointed in the caravan but the scenery of the Peak District was really something. Kn

This has to be one of the best touring caravan sites in The Peak District. We were welcomed by the very friendly manager, Tina, who gave us a map on which she indicated the walk into Buxton, the location of the Morrison's supermarket and Wetherspoons pub.
We shown to our pitch by a very helpful member of staff who explained the whereabouts of all the facilities.
The hard standing pitches are nice and flat. The toilets were always spotless and the showers provided ample hot water on a tap basis, not those stupid push buttons.
The shop is very adequately stocked.
It is located within walking distance to the centre of Buxton were we found some very nice real ale pubs.
On this occasion we only stayed two nights but do intend to return.

We've just returned from a weekend at Lime Tree Holiday Park, Buxton. Very warm welcome to the site, escorted to our personal pitch. We were lucky to get the last pitch, due to the beautiful weather we were having.
We were located on the over spill, adjacent to the road, of which I'd read regarding the noise from the road, and this was confirmed at the time of booking, however, we weren't going to allow this to ruin our weekend away (although some lunatic drivers mistakenly thought they were on a racing track, but this is clearly beyond the Holiday Park's control).
All pitches on the site are electric hook up only. We had taken our granddaughter with us, so it was a bit of a novelty to keep helping her grandad to fill up with fresh water and deposit the waste etc. The shower block serving the over spill, was at the top of a steep hill up to the higher level, first climb left us panting for breath, but it did get easier, after all it wasn't as though we had to climb it every few hours.
The facilities were kept very clean, showers had very good pressure, not the push button type, and the hair dryers, actually dried your hair! We all did a leisurely walk, including the dog, to Buxton town centre, and back, we were informed of the taxi service, who, if you mention at the time of your booking will also allow the dog.
The playground was very good, very well maintained, included swings, climbing frames, slides, see-saw. We paid the extra £6 to remain on the camp after the 12 noon departure, this enabled us to stay up until 5pm! Well worth the extra money, having our dinner, just chilling watching everybody depart, knowing we still had a number of hours to our holiday left.
I'm scoring site location 10, due to the Holiday Parks positives, close proximity to Buxton town centre, closeness to local stores (Morrisons (turn right), Tesco (turn left, then left), closeness to numerous pubs/restaurants, after all the issue with the road I feel is something that the local authority should be addressing, not impacting on the scoring for this very pleasant holiday park.

The campsite is in a great location for walking into the centre of Buxton as it is only 1 ½ miles away with footpaths all the way. However the path along the road by the campsite (Dukes Drive) is very narrow and overgrown in places. As this road is very busy, care will be needed with children.
The main part of the campsite is located on a higher level than the road, accessed by quite a steep incline. There are a few pitches located next to the road with only a low wall separating the road from the campsite. Some bushes have been planted next to the wall on the campsite side but lack of weeding and attention seems to have hindered their growth. If these bushes grow to a reasonable height it may help to deaden the noise of the traffic and stop the ability of people being able to access the site by stepping over the wall.
As we were only visiting for a couple of nights we didn’t explore the site fully, but the sanitary facilities we used were clean and there was plenty of hot water. There is even hand lotion in the ladies which is a thoughtful and welcome touch. There is a farm shop and also a small shop next to reception where you’ll be greeted in a friendly helpful manner.
