 Absolutely beautiful site and just what we needed.
Very quite and calm, the staff were extremely polite,
The toilets and showers were very clean and hot!
This is an adults only site and it shows as the site is spotless, the security on the site is great.
We opted for full electricity hook up and water and it worked amazingly.
The only developmental feedback would be that the WiFi doesn't work very well.
The dogs loved it and there is plenty of places to walk, eat and relax locally! Thank you

Liked the site and area so much we bought a seasonal pitch for 2022.
Close to Buxton and main cycle routes with plenty to do and superb scenery.
Site is quiet and has dog walking field

Location
The site is very peaceful, and very remote. There aren't any views from the pitches as the site is surrounded by trees to protect it from the wind as it is on a hill (many an awning lost). Its 1. 5 miles from the nearest village, where there is 1 pub, small shop, cafe and chip shop. The walk is either by a fast road, or a slightly longer walk over fields which isn't that pleasant as its very boggy after rain, and fields are full of cattle. As the site is on a hill, its a long haul back (no buses or taxis in this neck of the woods).
Facilities
There is a small shop on site in the reception. But it only opens 9 - 5 with an hour for lunch. It only has the essentials like beans and chocolate. Don't expect local produce.
Toilets and showers are clean, but the recent revamp has made them very cramped for space.
There is a dog wash which is a nice touch, but the hot water rarely works, and I don't like to wash my dogs in freezing cold water.
Phone reception is hit and miss depending on your provider. The site does have WiFi, but at an additional cost.
Dog walk - amazing! But let down by the many owners who don't pick up after their dogs (check your shoes before getting in your accommodation).
Local walks - unfortunately there are very few walks from the site. As previously mentioned, the longnor walk is more of a chore than a pleasure. The walks around the lanes from the site are OK, but they are roads at the end of the day.
Log cabins
Tourers and tents aren't that close to the log cabins so you may miss out on the fights in the hot tubs.
Recycling
In this day and age you would think that campsites would be keen on Recycling. There is 1 bin for recycling, and 3 for general waste. The recycle bin fills up quick, so majority is just put in general waste.
Cost
Having toured for many years prior, I think the price is on the high side. Whilst the site is pleasant, its remoteness, lack of provisions in the shop and its short opening times would make me think twice before staying here.
I knew the location of the site so its remoteness didn't faze me, but I bumped into so many weekend campers expecting a village or pub within easy walking distance.

The site is very peaceful, and quite remote. Not really any views from the pitches as the site is surrounded by trees but nice and secluded.
It is about 1. 5 miles from the nearest village (Longnor) and this is across fields (a lovely walk if you are equipped for walking in the Peaks eg wellies/walking boots a must) Longnor has two village a pubs, a cafe and little shops but it is a very small place.
There is a very small shop on site in the reception. It opens 9 - 5 and it has the bare essentials.
Toilets and showers are nice and kept very clean and there is a dog wash if required.
The Wi-Fi is chargeable (annoying in this day and age - a gripe with hotels and campsites generally) and phone reception is very sporadic - seemingly for most providers ( we have EE and Virgin/O2)
The dog walk/ field is one of the best - large, secure and lovely views. Our greyhound loved it.
We thought the price was on the high side. However they do keep the site very well maintained and the people running the site were helpful and friendly (didn’t see that much of them as it was in Covid still) the site is very pleasant, but it is a little bit too remote for us. Saying that we are walkers and had some lovely long walks from the site and had a day out to do Lud’s Church and the Roaches.
But if you want easy access or short walks there aren’t any really. We did know this as we had checked all that out before we booked.
So all good but I feel we have done that area now and the pull of just the site wasn’t enough to make us want to go back immediately. But I am sure we may do at some point and would recommend it for the reasons we went: adults only, secure dog field, quiet, an area we wanted to visit.

We Stayed Here for 4nights and thought the park was quiet & Tranquil as promised.
We were personally shown to our Hardstanding Service Pitch where we were given a brief description of the Facilities and advice Local Places to eat and explore.
All staff were friendly and helpful
Good access to dog field.
Would have like a Disabled Shower Room & Toilet this would have been a bonus

Very impressed with the friendly reception that we received on arrival.
Our fully serviced pitch was spacious. The toilet block was immaculate and spacious.
The site was very clean and tidy. A very peaceful and pleasurable site.

Enjoyed a long weekend at Longnor Wood (Adults only)
We received a warm welcome from staff and were shown to our pitch. The site itself is very well kept, clean and tidy. The showers and toilets were clean and very warm
There is a very large field for dog walking and a doggie shower, with warm water, which we used each day
The campsite is approximately a mile from the village of Longnor which is an easy walk along the road
There was a nice pub, tea rooms and a chip shop open on Saturday lunchtime when we visited
I would certainly recommend this campsite as there was nothing we disliked

We stayed here fifteen years ago, and with massive investment its moved on massively. The location for us was fine, with Buxton 20 min drive away. The toilet area is spotless, not many toilets or showers but with a lot off self contained plots ie pods and chalets it was not a issue. Nearly every plot is hard standing so not so tent friendly and we felt we were positioned tucked away in the corner, which was fine by us. No kids, nice and quiet so we were happy. Just felt that in a couple of years there will be no tents allowed which would be a shame.

Nice site in rural area with lovely views from outside the actual site. Staff helpful and friendly. Great service provided to nearby pubs. Toilet block very clean and good showers. Easy to travel to lovely Bakewell and other places. However, went there as it is an adult only site and for the peace and quiet, but sadly and annoyingly it was disturbed by 3 sets of selfish neighbours who had dogs continually barking! What a shame! Owners really should discourage this as it would otherwise be a pretty perfect site.
