Why stay here ...

Set in the beautiful location of an old walled garden on the picturesque Chatsworth Estate, the Chatsworth Park Club Campsite in Bakewell offers nostalgic views of the sheep-cropped rolling countryside, with some lovely walks. One of our sites in Derbyshire, the campsite is a lovely holiday retreat for the family to escape the bustle of city living. Surrounded by lots of wildlife, it is fantastic for deer watching.

The Horse Trials that take place in May and the Country Fair in September are just two of the fantastic attractions conveniently nearby the Chatsworth Park Club Campsite. One of the first visits on the list should be to the House, where you can immerse yourself in history as you wander round the beautifully decorated rooms, formal gardens and the famously lovely cascade. Another place for an unforgettably scenic stroll is the 1000-acre park laid out by Capability Brown. For those who want to sample and take home authentic country delights, the nearby farm shop boasts superior marmalades and jams amongst many other scrumptious treats.

The village of Baslow is a 15 minute walk with a couple of good pubs, including the refurbished Devonshire Arms. Bakewell market on Mondays is recommended. Children visiting the caravan site will enjoy the farmyard and adventure playground on the Chatsworth House estate, guaranteed to give them hours of fun.

Chatsworth Park Health & Fitness Club is a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive away. To find out about what they offer, please visit their webpage here.

Favourite site

Love this site, love location, and secret garden, just our favourite site and never looses its charm, always seem to stumble across something new on every visit . Toilets clean and plenty of availability, toilets could probably do with refurb but also wouldn't like site to be shut lol lol

Fabulous site!

Chatsworth site is a clean, well maintained site. It is convenient for visiting Chatsworth house and its grounds. The local village is just a stroll away with great pubs which serve food and a smashing Italian restaurant. We had a super weekend there.

Excellent site

We've been here a few times now and can really recommend the site. Lovely facilities and well maintained. Direct access to Chatsworth grounds and only ten minute walk to the house. And a smashing dawn chorus.

Lovely stay

The weather really helped. Great walks both to the house and the village where you can easily catch a bus further afield. If I had one complaint other than the cost, it would be a bit of a trek to the toilet block.
