Teenagers get the chance to start, steer, manoeuvre, reverse and park on a specifically designed road system.
View and BookDovesite is a Club Certificated location which can take up to a maximum of 5 caravans at any one time. The CL has panoramic views of the reservoir and surrounding countryside.
We have EHU (Electric Hook-Ups) which operate on a card basis (if required) - you are able to purchase £1 and/or £5 electric cards and just pay for electric as and when you need it. There is also an Elsan point. We do not offer toilet or shower facilities. The CL is gently sloping but we do have some level pitches available.
Please Note:- We are also a "Green Fluid Only" site.
Dovesite is a quiet site with beautiful walks in close proximity. There is a lovely walk around the reservoir and the picturesque ''chocolate box'' villages of Melbourne and Ticknall are only a stones-throw away.
Dovesite is very peaceful and for those early risers amongst you watch the fantastic sunrise over the little village of Breedon-on-the-Hill to the East.
Banks, Shops, Supermarket and Cafe's are within a 15 minute walk. We have a bus stop at the entrance to our driveway enabling you to ''hop on'' and take advantage of the very reliable public transport network here in Derbyshire.
Dovesite has outstanding views and it is surrounded by acres of land for dog walking, rambling or just a leisurely stroll!
We currently offer:
Dovesite is open all year round so it is ideal for those brisk fresh morning walks - even in the winter. Children and dogs are welcome.
We are located centrally for Derby, Burton-upon-Trent, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham and the N.E.C.

Good Standard, separated by a low fence from commercial site. The CL could do with another Electric Post as there only 2 with 3 hookups on 1 and 2 hookups on the other. If another post was installed near the Fence it would be ideal and allow full use... Show more

We found this site misleading. Not a traditional CL as it is part of a commercial site with up to 25 pitches. Its also adjacent to a business park and industrial units which are not mentioned. Not sure what this would be like mid week but not the small secluded... Show more
