Priestfield Grange Farm
Lovely peaceful site close to Chesterfield and many NT attractions and of course the Dales. Only downside was that the toilets (of which there are two) did not appear to have been cleaned for sometime, and were certainly not adequately done during the eight nights that we stayed, although the toilet roll was renewed; consequently there were spiders webs and spiders over the walls and soil and leaves on the floor. Given that there were only two toilets, I do not think it would take much to sweep / clean them a couple of times a week.
The Tourist Information Kiosk could do with a similar sweep and clean as the books a pamphlets were covered in cobwebs.
Finally, though of course not something the site or owner can resolve, the local pub appears to have closed down, so the nearest pub/resturant is about a mile away.

Priestfield Grange Farm
Stayed here in my motorhome for two nights, lovely peaceful well kempt location as per previous reviews. Easy access and great location to visit Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth from. Only downside is no shower. £20 per night with ehu cash or cheque. Would stay here again.

Beautiful Rural Site
Priestfield Grange Farm
Just returned from 3 nights at Priestfield Grange Farm site. Beautiful area, with plenty of rural walks from the site through wildflower meadows with fabulous views which lead down to Linacre Reservoir. In the evening we sat outside and watched Foxes and their 3 Cubs in the paddock. With Chatsworth, Bakewell and Chesterfield near by there are plenty of places to visit. We have a Motorhome and there is a bus stop outside the gate. Unfortunately we were here on the 3 hottest days ever, with the temperature reaching 40° and it was too hot to go anywhere. We do plan to visit again when we can do more than chill out on site....though it was a great to just relax in peace and quiet for a while.

Not good for motorhomes!
Priestfield Grange FarmYes, it is a fairly peaceful site, although a couple of times during our fives days there, we had dog obedience/agility on the next field, so quite a lot of barking! It also appears as if there are some people living on the site in caravans, which seems to be against the rules. The first time I went to empty my waste and fill my on board water tank, I parked on the track leading to the farm, the s/c cottages and the fields beyond so, in order not to cause a blockage, I pulled slightly round the corner, meaning that my tank did not drain as the motorhome was on a slope because the waste disposal area could never be described as 'drive over' as the handbook says! It is a shallow trough at the side of the access track to the cottages, so a hose is definitely needed. If you want to fill your water tank from that same location, it involves walking, rather dangerously, over a rough and overgrown area behind the rubbish bins, after doing it once, I didn't fancy doing it again and risking breaking my ankle! I drove slowly onto the grass near the tap the next time, but when I was almost finished, the owner came out and was very rude to me and told me not to park on the grass and that I had to park on the access road, causing an obstruction to anyone in the cottages! I was not prepared to cause any obstruction, so we left the next day and will never return to this site. If you have a caravan, the site is good, but absolutely not suitable for motorhomes.
As an aside, the information room was devoid of any information and the toilet had no paper or towel, so not very useful either.
A1 CL near Chatsworth
Priestfield Grange Farm
As the heading says, this C.L. is situated not far from Chatsworth, about 4 miles but in a perfectly peaceful surroundings. The arrival is described from Chesterfield. If coming from Baslow then turn left by the Robin Hood Pub, about a mile after the A621 Sheffield roundabout onto the B6050 and follow this road for about 3 miles .Pass the Fox and Grouse Pub and lookout for a C&CC CS on the right as the C.L. is almost opposite this. The entrance to the C.L. is wide and easy for any outfit. Quite a few of the pitches are sloping some more than others and the H/S is small stones and shale. We did have a problem with picking up some tar off the hardcore in very hot weather so beware. Didn't put an awning up or have a TV on but wifi and phone signals were good. Recycling is provided for and the Elsan point is adequate. We did have the electricity trip once without any reason for it to do so but it didn't happen again. There are walks from the CL down to 3 local reservoirs that drop down the back of the village and very nice it is too.
Closest shop is the Co-Op about 5 minute drive away and other supermarkets in Chesterfield. Ease of access to the splendid walking area couldn't be better with a plethora of great walks to be had. Also Hardwick Hall is 30 minute drive away, Chatsworth on your doorstep, together with its Fram shop, and Renishaw Hall close by as well. The local bus service can be flagged down from outside the site and seems to run hourly.
The owner does have 2 S/C cottages for hire as well.
There is a bit of car movement as some people keep horses on fields and the owner does have 3 extra pitches just at the back of the CL.
None of the pitches have trees overhead but are protected to some degree by them.
A nice tidy CL at what is now considered a reasonable price of £14 per night (£1 extra for awning).
