Excellent site.

This is a lovely site. It is very clean and spacious with friendly wardens. Very handy for walks on The Roaches and around Tittesworth Reservoir. And the Peak District is very close. I believe it can be noisy by the road but I was on the back of the site and it was very quiet. Had a very pleasant few days and would certainly go again. Had an excellent meal at the Three Horseshoes pub over the road from the site.

Super warden team !

The wardens and their colleagues work incredibly hard to keep this site in tip top shape with lots of little extra touches that are very much appreciated . The facilities blocks are kept immaculately clean. Thank you team for another great stay .

The Blackshaw Moor

This was my first time at this site,what a little gem and only 30 miles from home.. The warden was more than helpful went into great detail about the site and surrounding area This is a great site for walking,Tittesworth Resevoir is only a mile away with a great pub just up the road. There is some noise from the road during the day but quiet at night . Will be visiting the site again.

Loved the site but the road noise can be a bit much

This was our first outing of the year and our first visit to Blackshaw Moor. Really good location for walking. Particularly enjoyed our walk round Rudyard Lake and the pub recommended by the wardens was pleasant. TV worked well through the aerial plug in. Pitch we chose was spacious and the facilities were excellent. We had been told about the possibility of the road noise and so chose a pitch near the back. Unfortunately the road noise was still quite noticeable. As this was early spring we were in the van much of the time we were on site. The road might have been even more noticeable if we had wanted to sit out. Will certainly think about using this site again for some more walking.

Our second stay at Blackshaw

Lovely, friendly wardens and a lovely site not far from Leek. Big pitches divided by hedging and lovely views from the back pitches which are also quieter than near the road. The only problem I can think of is that if you are pitched near the road you won't get much sleep.

Nice site friendly staff .

A nice peaceful site very friendly and helpful Staff , Enjoyed some lovely walks in the area with the dogs especially up to the Roaches and around a lovely lake that was close by . We enjoyed visiting Leek on Market day, and lovely scenic drive to Bakewell only 20 mins away, we were lucky enough to go there on the day of the Farmers market which was excellent . Lots to do in the area we will definitely be going back :)

Easy to find rural gem

My second visit to this neat little site. We arrived on site at 1400 on Friday and were welcomed by friendly staff in the reception. There were many spaces available, a bonus as my caravan-reversing skills leave a little to be desired. I was with a group of four couples, so we were able to procure adjoining pitches. I was advised that if I had a problem with parking a member of staff would be there to give help, luckily not necessary. The toilet/shower block is easy to get to from all pitches. Immaculate as always, but I was surprised to see that the main lights appeared to be on all night. I noticed this because I was forced to spend the Saturday night using the facilities due to sickness. The dog- walking area has been extended and is nicely pathed with wood chip surfaces. There are numerous hostelries quite near to the site and picturesque walks nearby. Leek, the nearest town is a joy to visit, with numerous markets and smaller shops. My only gripe is the road noise which I did not notice on my first visit but was much more noticeable while on an adjoining pitch as I was this time. All the pitches seem relatively easy and there is a fine children's play area central to the site and not close to the main road. A nice area that I shall visit again.

Very brief visit but we'll be back

Stayed for just one night having picked up our new caravan in Stoke. We previously had a motorhome and the wardens couldn't have been more helpful, coming round to check that we could work everything out. Also came and fixed a small issue we had with great good humour! When we were leaving they asked about future plans and we were given some excellent advice about the approach to one site we are to use. The site is ideally located for a number of places to visit, with a bus stop handy if you don't want to drive. As other reviewers have said, there is road noise but we weren't aware of it from inside the 'van. Facilities immaculate. Good long dog walk and plenty of bins. We will certainly come back to explore the area.

Long weekend break

We chose this site as we'd never been to Leek before and wanted to visit their Sat. Antiques market. Arrived on the Friday and were welcomed by the warden who gave a full briefing. Pitch availability was mixed, we chose 59 at the top and were pleased we did ( as the pitches near the road would have been very noisy as the road was quite a race track!!). We needed levelling . blocks but the views from the pitch were good over to the rocky tor and fields behind. The shower block was immaculate and site well maintained. Having a motorhome we like to pitch up and use public transport. Bus stop just down road with buses to Leek every two hours. Waitrose on the bus route. There is a good dog friendly pub called The Cock serving local real ales and a dog friendly cafe called The Spout. Sadly The Three Horseshoes nearest the site ( a hotel/spa) doesn't accept dogs even in the bar which is a shame given the location to the site. The dog walk on site is limited and near the road (hence dogs must be on lead) although it is adequate with plenty of dog bins. Great walk from the site ( turn right and follow pavement to wooden public footpath sign) into open hilly countryside. We hope to return.

Good, but loud

Wardens were great, chatty and very friendly, and they worked hard all day keeping the site clean and tidy. The site is good for walks to the Roaches and surrounding hills, also a few good pubs and towns around to explore. The only let-down is it is very noisy! we were at the top of the site to get away from the road noise, (as most people seem to do), and to our horror a motorcycle scramble track was at the back of us, with 6 or so of them going round the track. Don't come here for a peaceful break, best to go out in the daytime to escape the noise.
