Wardens !

Well, what can we say that hasn’t already been said about these wonderful wardens. Probably the friendliest site we’ve ever visited - and we’ve been motor homing now for 14 years ! Nothing was to much trouble for this cheery team and they keep the site immaculate. There is plenty of walking to be done in this area, particularly ‘The Roaches’ and surrounding area. Or more gentle walking can be found around the two local reservoirs and along the Caldon Canal. And a trip on the ‘Churnet Valley Steam Railway’ is a must with tea at ‘Hetty’s’ Froghall Wharf - if time permits. All in all, a lovely site with lovely wardens - and we will be back !

Excellent Site

This was the first time we'd visited and were greatly impressed by the friendliness and enthusiasm of the warden. It is ideally located for a trip into Leek where parking was easiest as part of a visit to one of the supermarkets. A drive to Tittesworth Lake is a must though it is easily accessible by walking from the site. Avoid Rudyard Lake as the only parking was up a ramp to the railway car park which meant a very sharp turn not easily made with a motorhome. The railway itself might have been of interest but, sadly, it only seems to operate ar weekends and school holidays (just when I avoid motorhome trips away!) The site has some immediate post-WW2 history as a camp for Polish families. Whilst I appreciated the pictures and text around the site, I would have like more information as there appear to have been several camps in the area. Overall, a lovely site, especially having small bays and a brilliant dog walk. Will definitely return. RevJeff

Great site

Can only repeat what’s already been said. This site is colourful and tidy, the wardens are pleasant, the facilities warm and spotlessly clean. The location appealed to us as it was a quiet part of the Peak District with easy access to the popular areas. The wardens are to be commended for the care they take of the site, making it a pleasure to visit.

Fantastic Stay

Had a really good 10 nights on this site, pitched up by the play area, lovely clean facilities & friendly wardens. The site is a short drive to Alton Towers for the teenagers. Never been to the Peak District before but there is lots to so in the area. Pooleys cavern was good monrning out. Would recommend the Lazy Trout for Sunday lunch (but book a table). Would have liked to done more walking in the area (you can see the Roaches from the site) but sadly due to moorland fires the area was shut so will have to go back.

Excellent Friendly Staff

We have bought our first caravan and this being our first site we have stayed at it was not a disappointment. Having arrived late nearly as the site barriers were closing for the night we did ring two or three times to let the lovely lady know roughly the time of our arrival who did not find this a problem but just to keep her informed. On arrival we was greeted by the lovely lady who made us feel very welcome and directed us to our pitch and told us where all amenities were accompanied by a map of the site. The following morning we found we had forgot the milk so headed down to the shop to see what time this opened whilst looking at the times the lady came and asked if everything was ok to which we mentioned we had forgot milk at which time she proceeded to get her keys out and open the shop for us. I know this was our first time but this lady went out of her way to help. The site was lovely, quiet and very very clean including the toilet and shower block. Will definitely be visiting this site again.

Pin in map!

Back to vanning after long gap..stuck a literal pin in a virtual map and it came out Blackshaw moor! So off we went! We weren't sure if we would even get back into it...and equally unsure how the dogs would like it. However Im sure you'll be thrilled to know that we all loved it! I can't imagine why anyone would think the staff were unfriendly! There's always two sides to a story and sadly the other side can't comment (shame really!). We had no comments about our dogs...I've checked the reviews and it wasn't us!!....And we didn't upset anyone...at least nobody has left a story yet! We're now hooked again...can't wait for next outing! See you all around soon!

Great site and location

We stayed for a few days as we wanted to do some walking in the area. We were greeted by a very friendly warden who gave us info about site and how to pitch. The facilities were normal club standard water pressure in shower block a little low so don’t feel like I had an invigorating shower. Lots to do around area not far to drive to Goyte valley or into Buxton Pub up the road fish and chip van on a Saturday. Would definitely return to this site.

Disappointing

Arrived at this site for a 3 night break on the way home from the Lakes, we checked in and went off to find a pitch. We found a nice pitch next to the wardens and parked up a couple of inches away from the peg as I did not want to get right under the tree and there was more than the required 6 metres between us. Off we went to let the lady know our pitch number and she came back with us to check that we was on the peg, she said I would have to move over as she didn't want us to close to the wardens or find another pitch. I pointed out that we were only a small camper and if we had a caravan we would be much closer and also that there was the required 6 metre space between us, no we had to move. So, off we went and found another pitch only to find that we was actually closer to the next pitch than we was to them! Surely if the wardens don't want people next to them they should close the pitch. I couldn't be done with this and decided to get my money back and leave. What a difference to the CCM site we had just left where the wardens couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. Having left here I found a nice little caravan and camping club site up the road where I joined which was lovely and relaxing which is what is supposed to be about. It really put a dampener on the holiday.

At its Peak...pardon the pun!

Stayed from 10 to 14th July. Fabulous reintroduction to touring after a lapse of quite a few years! This site didn't disappoint in any way. Check in was smooth and the pitches were spacious. The wardens were helpful and the site was beautifully maintained. I only gave 4 stars for family friendly as it is now just us and the dogs touring and theeefoee i dont feel qualifies to say if families would like it but the park area looked safe and clean and within easy view of quite a few pitches. The families that were there seemed happy enough but then the weather was gorgeous! The amenities were spotless and inviting...I never thought I'd be saying that! There is a good dog walk which is well maintained and I'm so pleased to see everyone 'bagging' it! We know the area quite well but reintroduced ourselves to Tittesworth reservoir (10 min drive) and Leek (pretty town). Only a 4 night stay but it's on our list now of 'sites to return to'. It could be a long list!
