Excellent

Tissington Caravan and Motorhome Site
We have just spent three very peaceful nights at this lovely site . It is very close to an array of activities such as walking cycling relaxing and shopping if that’s your thing . The village with its Hall in the centre is magnificent and it feels like you’ve gone back in time . At first it looks like there isn’t much in the village but after getting your bearings there is abundance of things to look at and do. Thank you to the site owners and hope they continue to keep it open . The views from the site are fantastic and extensive . What it lacks in amenities it makes up for in location .

Peaceful, friendly and lovely location.

Tissington Caravan and Motorhome Site
Spent 10 nights on this beautiful Cl, friendly welcome and lovely large hard standing pitches. Beautifully situated above Tissington village with fantastic walks from site, only a short distance from the Tissington Trail so excellent for cycling. A short walk down the lane, there's a butchers and in the village a wonderful cafe. There is a bus stop in the village although we had our own transport. Ed and Kathryn were staying in their caravan on site for a few days and were very friendly always greeting with a smile. During our stay, we went to Dovedale, Ilam, Cromford, Bakewell, Carsington Water and Hartington where there are wonderful walks within easy reach. Looking forward to staying again next year.

GOOD SITE, PITY ABOUT THE OWNERS IGNORING US DURING OUR STAY.

Tissington Caravan and Motorhome Site
We stayed 7 nights This is a well laid out CL with 5 hard standings, one chemical disposal point and 2 water taps ( that were extremely slow 22 min to fill an aqua roll !), BUT the owners did not welcombe or speak to us at all during our stay, (although they regularly chatted at length to their other quests).

A Magical Spot

Tissington Caravan and Motorhome Site
What a magical spot! It was exactly what we wanted as a peaceful one-night stopover on our way to Scotland in our new motor home. The surrounding area was beautiful, and we especially enjoyed walking around the village looking at the wells, which we had read about in the little Methodist Church near the site. We would love to return to see the annual Well Dressing ceremony! I would really recommend this campsite for the tranquillity, the friendliness of the owners, and the stunning views. Sally and Simon
