A great stopover

The site was easy to book by email with very prompt replies. It's £13 per night including EHU and WiFi. We did not use the showers or toilets. Flat field behind the scout hut. Walking distance to the Spread Eagle in one direction and The Jinnie in the other. We... Show more

Lovely little CL

Just got back from our first stay at this lovely little CL site. Short walk to a couple of nice pubs in Rollerston on Dove. Handy bus stop just outside useful if you want to explore Derby or Burton on Trent. Field is quite level and all... Show more

We loved it!

Our first visit to a CL site. We were very impressed with the village of Rolleston on Dove. It must be a nice place to live. Why did we like it so much? 1) Flat pitches and better than expected facilities. 2) Bus stop outside of the front gate. We visited both... Show more

Great CL which is incredibly secure!

We stayed at the Scout HQ CL to attend a party in a neighbouring village. The CL is only a 5 minute drive off the A38 and is behind a large Scout building which you enter through their car park. There are two gates with combination padlocks on each. On... Show more

Tracing ancestry

A very pleasant field situated behind the Scout building, adjacent to a working farm. Unfortunately the site was wet during our visit so we parked on the hard standing adjacent to the building which was not quite as pleasant. The toilets and showers are an added bonus. The village of Rolleston is... Show more

All we expected

We had a short break at Rolleston-on-Dove Scout Group site last week, and found it lived up to the expectations we had having read good reviews from others. Good level site with excellent facilities, set in an attractive village just a couple of miles from Burton-on-trent, with lots of sites... Show more

Excellent for the Peaks

We stayed here for two nights in March 2015.  Within striking distance of the Peaks via Ashbourne and some very lovely countryside around.  Rolleston is very lovely and there is local interest in Tutbury too.  Nice spacious site with the added bonus of a toilet and shower block.  All hook...

A Cracking Place

We arrived expecting something akin to a car park with grass and lots of scout activity seeing as its located behind the local scout HQ. We couldn't have been more wrong. It has a lovely scenic setting with views across open countryside and freshly cut grass with plenty of room... Show more
