Date of Visit: April 2016 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Campingcrumpet 12 reviews from this member

 Lovely site with great views and nice wardens -super toilet and shower facilities. Fab field for letting dogs loop around in and lots of walks in the area. 20 min walk to nice pub Manifold Inn-food great portions, dog and kid friendly and nice mix of locals and visitors.

Owners great to book with and responded to emails quickly.

Will definitely return

 Quick early year weekend visit to learn about our outfit.

Lovely site. Beautiful views over the surrounding hills - easy access. Shame about the overcast/rain.

Pitches seemed a bit tight at first. But we don't have a lot of experience to compare. We need to experience these sites when they are full and buzzing!

Super Serviced pitches so all inclusive - good elec hook up. Facilities compound in middle of the square site. Very good. Toilets etc only 50 meters at worst for anyone. Excellent facilities.

Reception was belated and not directed at first due to owner being absent (cannot be there 24 hrs) but very soon rectified as the owner, Sue, came around as we were setting up. Sue was very informative and warm. It appears that they are 'inter-regnum' with Wardens at the moment and that was perhaps noticeable. Other reviews say the parting Wardens were exceptional. The new ones will hopefully be as good.

TV reception ok. Wi-Fi only by toilet block.

Good location for surrounding countryside. Hartington is delightful as are many similar nearby market towns.

Very good (slightly pricey) Sunday Lunch in wonderfully set The George at Alstonfield - book in advance.

Would we go back. Definitely.

Incidentally, very good website.

 We stayed for 4 nights from 26/02/16 What a lovely site with great views and fantastic facilities the showers are second to none, Sue the owner could not do enough for us, The site has it says is good for walkers and the Manifold Inn is within walking distance for those fit enough for others like my self its five mins in the car, The food is very good and great value, We will be staying at this site again.

Reviewer: JoannC 2 reviews from this member

 A lovely site in a great location, with toilets and showers that are nicer than many hotels and always immaculately clean, though we never saw anyone cleaning them. The owner organised a Halloween party and decorated the barn and made punch, the children really enjoyed dressing up for it. There are miniature horses and alpaca in fields around the pitches.

You can hire a fire basket and get fire wood and there is Calor gas available to buy.

In October it is was a bit wet and muddy, it is drier up the hill towards the shower block.

 Had a lovely stay here this weekend, the toilet facilities are really clean and the showers are good. The people who look after the site are very friendly and helpful.

The views are lovely to, it is a nice quiet campsite even though it was full.

We walked the the manifold inn pub about a mile away which was nice and friendly, we would visit this campsite again its very nice.

Reviewer: Bayleighbee 1 review from this member

 Absolutely loved this place. Fantastic location, clean, well run, and friendly. There's a large field with mown paths for walking the dogs, and also a mown pitch where the children can play. The shower and toilet block is spotless. This was my first visit to the peak district, and the first family holiday together that we've had for 15 years. A huge thank you for making it a great time to remember. Would I go back? Absolutely!

Reviewer: W99lly 10 reviews from this member

 Very friendly site with hard standings and grass pitches on a hill with great views and a large, spotlessly clean toilet block. We visited on a very busy weekend when all the hard standings were full and most of the area reserved for tents was also full.

The facilities were more than adequate to cope with a full site. There was a great atmosphere on the site with young families and children. It was fun but not noisy.

We booked at the last minute but Sue bent over backwards to help and found us space for 3 nights which, although it involved changing pitch after the fist night, was no problem. They took the trouble to see you to check everything was OK.

The site is well located for cycling the Manifold Vally and not too far from the Tissington Trail and the High Peak Trail. The latter is absolutely wonderful for cycling and walking with stunning views.

It is a popular site for good reason

 Visited August 2015. Received a warm welcome from Yvonne and asked if we needed any help setting up. Yvonne and Paul maintain the site beautifully, all areas including showers/loos and pot wash were immaculate even at weekends in a very busy period. The site itself was very well situated, not too far from any one place; Bakewell, Buxton, Ashbourne, Matlock are all within 30-45 mins drive, and Hartington itself is a lovely little village. There is a field for games (multiple families playing rounders one evening, great fun), a dog walk area and a take away pizza van calls occasionally (pizzas were delicious) and it's possible to hire fire buckets which are very sociable!. Have rated 8/10 for site facilities as these were a bit limited; phone and internet signal is poor, being in the hills, and there is no shop, so it's off to the village (2 miles) if you need anything. Nearest pub/restaurant is 20 min walk across field or slightly longer by road (or a few mins drive). It's also a little expensive but you get what you pay for in my view. Overall though, for peace and quiet and a clean, well-maintained site, you couldn't top it and we would definitely book it again if we were in the area.

 What a wonderful campsite! Just had spent 5 days here as a family group of 6 in two tents. The campsite has amazing views of the Derbyshire countryside and is ideally located for some beautiful walks- Wetton dale, Longnor, Hartington. The nearest pub, Manifold Inn in Hulme End was 15 mins walk down the lanes, or 10 mins across the fields- very handy!

The wardens Yvonne and Paul, made us very welcome, and worked tirelessly to keep the site well-maintained and looking good. The toilet/shower facilities were really clean and tidy, lots of hot water and free showers, and despite being august, rarely had to wait. There was a separate playing field which was great for younger kids, needing to let off steam, which was was just aside from the main camping area. There was also laundry facilities which were very helpful as included washer and a drier. Also handy freezer for iceblocks, all in the washing room.

This is the first campsite we honestly feel we would love to return to, and our stay was made all the more enjoyable by the staff. Thankyou to Yvonne and Paul! Hope to see you again next year!

 Visited for a weekend and the staff were brilliant, very welcoming with a Lady warden on site who is very friendly and helpful.

The location is great with superb views of the surrounding countryside.

The pitches are well laid out with water and waste on the pitch.

Would definitely recommend this site, brilliant location for walking or visiting Hartington.
