Nestled within an attractive pine plantation, Carsington Water Club Campsite in Ashbourne is beautifully landscaped, with pitches in open clearings separated by trees. This gives the Derbyshire campsite residents privacy and quiet which many appreciate during the busy summer months. Improvements to the toilet block and facilities, including a new drying room, were undertaken in recent years.
Carsington Reservoir, a major attraction in the area, is conveniently adjacent to the Carsington Water Club Campsite. A mere 15 minutes walk will bring you to its great selection of leisure facilities including fishing, sailing, windsurfing and a children's playground. The campsite is also an excellent base for walkers and cyclists wishing to explore the beautiful scenery of Dovedale and the surrounding countryside. The local villages, all with excellent pubs and restaurants offering hearty food, are within two to three miles. As you travel around the region exploring, look out for examples of Derbyshire's home grown art - "Well Dressing" - which happens in many villages from May to September.

Peaceful and relaxing
Carsington Water Club Campsite
Can’t fault this site! After breaking down in our new to us camper van as soon as we arrived, the wardens couldn’t have been more helpful. We eventually had to send for breakdown assistance and as there was little or no Wi-Fi nor phone signal we were thankfully given access to the phone in the reception.
The site itself is wonderfully quiet and peaceful with an emphasis on local wildlife. The walks from the site itself are wonderful and scenic with good access to the Carsington water reservoir. The dog walk around the site is fabulous with lovely views over the water in places and is good and long with a number of bins at various points.
The whole site is beautifully maintained and kept spotlessly clean, a credit to the hardworking and cheerful wardens who we couldn’t thank enough for their assistance during our stay
Wow! This site will take some beating!
Carsington Water Club Campsite
Absolutely beautiful site. Stayed for 3 nights. The site is in a woodland setting with lots of different areas and levels. I stayed on pitch 99, out of the way in a more rural setting. Just perfect. The dog walk is the best I've seen on any site and then carsington water is a short stroll away. Will 100% return.
Perfect place to unwind
Carsington Water Club Campsite
I have stayed here twice now, beautiful site and set in a small pine forest. Plenty of walks around area, nice easy walk to carsington water visitor centre and reservoir. The site is beautifully tended and the staff on site very friendly and helpful, will definately be coming back.
Very relaxed stay
Carsington Water Club Campsite
Booked onto Carsington Water Club campsite on our way to p/ex our Caravan, wish we'd booked for longer. Lovely, relaxed, friendly site. On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly female warden who we spoke to a few times whilst wandering around. Good mixture of couples, families, individuals all pleasantly passing the time of day, it was an absolute pleasure to be part of it.
Dog walk was a really good area, the views over Carsington Water were fabulous.
We will definitely be back for a longer stay.
