Great site but............

We arrived on Friday evening and the only pitches available where backing on to the main road. Just as we'd finished pitching up there was a power cut which lasted a couple of hours and site was in complete darkness. We were woken up very early due to the traffic noise from the road. Luckily we spotted a Motorhome leaving early and so we moved pitch. Our 2nd pitch was on the top terrace and although we could still here the road noise it wasn't intrusive. Pitches are large with hedge screening and there was a toilet block on the top terrace as well as at reception. The Wardens were very friendly too. We walked from the site over Hen Cloud and the Roaches as the weather was lovely. We will definitely return but hopefully we will arrive earlier and not get a pitch by the road next time.

Wi-fi hopeless

Enjoyed site, rain excluded, hope to return in better weather. Wi-fi did not work over my two day stay. I am fed up paying for a service which is generally poor or worse. Currently on a private site charging £7 per week for Wi-fi which works perfectly well worth the money.

Dog bother

Hi We choose to try out our new caravan and awning at a site not too far from home, Leek is only an hour away. Having recently decided to part exchange our beloved Bessacarr Motorhome to try our caravanning, which hopefully offers us more 'dog space' and the benefit of having a car to drive off out in. Review time: This site is very well maintained by friendly and informative site wardens. The facilities aren't large but are cleaned to a high standard. The pitches are all huge which is greatly appreciated. I hope who ever is next on pitch number 35 continues to feed the squirrel and many birds that visit, the wardens do top up the bird tables but I bought extra for our much welcome visitor. Leek is a lovely small town with a lot of individual shops, and many antique shops. Tittesworth reservoir with its café and good walking paths was only 5 minuets drive away. Our best walk of the week was along the ridge called the Roaches, fantastic views without too much of a climb. Highly recommended for eating out, especially if you have a dog or two, The Lazy Trout at Meerbrook just up the road from the site, 10 minuet drive. We had been recommended it by some of my dog owning friends and happy now to recommend it ourselves, The food was excellent. DOG BOTHER: I would like to apologise to the wardens for allowing our two dogs off lead on the dog walk, our problem is that they will not go to the toilet on the lead, both are very well behaved, obedient and very friendly towards people and their dogs. Any other dog approaching on a lead and we would call ours to our side, they do not retaliate when barked at or worse, they choice to ignore those dogs, and owners who are less friendly. I do understand having trained dogs that some dogs are nervous, maybe unwell or have a degree of aggression and therefore do not tolerate unfamiliar dogs approaching, hence why I have trained mine to come to heel and only approach when told they can do so. Your warden did advice us of the policy to keep dogs on a lead, and once again advised us as we were heading off home. Just a shame dogs are to remain on the lead in an area designated for dog toileting. Dog owners are often very tolerant of each other, and understand the difficulties some owners have in training their dogs especially those that have had a difficult start and are from rescue ( as ours are) However their are specialist trainers available to give advice and training to those owners who are struggling. A happy dog is a trained dog, and happy owners have trained dogs.

Another top site

Just had 5 nights at Blackshaw Moor. Lovely site and great friendly wardens. Facilities great as expected for CMC sites. Two toilet/showerblocks so there is always one available during cleaning sessions, this is a great idea and should be utilised on more sites. Lovely area with great walks and views. Super dog wash and in our opinion more sites should adopt this idea. The pitches are spacious and very well kept. We will be back.

Great Site

Just come back from a long weekend stay at this great site. All the pitches seemed to be larger than average, some with little hedges in between. Loads of walks to be done either from the site or a short drive away. It even has a doggy shower to wash off the muddy paws which I think is brilliant and all sites should have one. The wardens are very friendly and make a great job of looking after the pristine site. There is some road noise on the site which didn't bother us. We will definitely be back.

Honeymoon week.

We arrived on Monday the 6th March 2017. Great reception at reception. This was the only Derbyshire site we had not stayed at. Glad we did. Pitches were roomy, level & clean. Toilets were their usual standard, spotless. Some views from the pitches were beautiful. The dog walk was a little muddy. However the wardens were laying down wood chipping to make it less so. Local pubs are a treat, especially The Lazy Trout, great food service & value. Book if you want to dine after 4pm though, it does get busy. The more 'senior' wardens were great at giving us instruction of how to get back to the M1. We arrived via one windy road. All in all a great site, we WILL be back.

Lovely weekend stay

This site is not too far from home for us so a great choice for a weekend break. We had a lovely friendly welcome and the wardens are really helpful with any queries on the local area. We had a pitch towards the back of the site and had a lovely view of Hen Cloud - yes there is road noise but to be honest it didn't bother us and we slept really soundly. The site was full but never felt crowded and the facilities were immaculate. We walked to Tittesworth Reservoir and then over fields and up and over Hen Cloud - we found The Roaches tea rooms on our way back to the campsite which is worth a visit. Top marks for the dog wash back at the campsite after a muddy walk - our dog loved it ! He also loved the dog walk - the wardens are in process of renovating with bark chips so in parts this was mud free and will be a lovely when finished. As so close to home I'm sure we will return in the future.
