Lovely site, our third visit.

Service pitch number 123 is a very nice pitch and in our opinion on of the best ones on site. The wardens are new to site this year and are all very helpful and friendly. My only gripe with this site is the toilet block and shower rooms. If you shower early in the morning as we do, do not expect any heating to be on. It was freezing, the outside temperature was winter like but they did not adjust any temperature inside to account for it. Everyday at least 3 showers, basin and toilets were blocked off. I would think so that they did not have to be cleaned. It was quite annoying having to wait in a queue one day to use to WC urgently just because they wanted to keep a few clean. Beautiful walks from the site and the best fish and chip shop called "Harpur's Plaice" about a 5 minuet drive from the site.

Great site

We really enjoyed our stay here, the pitches are large and well spaced out. The showers and toilets were immaculate when we were there. The warden I met was very friendly and helpful. Contrary to other comments we found the site very dog friendly, there is plenty of opportunity to walk your dog off site, walk through the gate and you have 2 choices left or right both allow an off lead walk. The country park and Solomon's temple are both great for a brisk walk and Pooles cavern, a 20 min walk through the country park woods was very interesting and dog friendly with added advantage of having a very good cafe that served a great breakfast. We found Buxton like most towns in the UK these days, tired and struggling, so sad. We ate at Lucianos and would not recommend and at the Olive tree which we would, both in town. You need to pack essentials as no shop is really within walking distance. In summary, well kept site good for walking and for dogs, great get away for a long weekend.

Fantastic site

Stayed here 21-25 March 2024. Had all seasons in one day Saturday!! Though this site never disappoints, with its lovely albeit wooded inclined walk into Buxton via Pooles Cavern ( nice cafe). Had lovely Sunday roast in town at Milton’s Tap ( halfway down Main Street) very dog friendly inside too! Site was extremely well kept as always, and a great friendly welcome from all… Love this site….

Great for visiting Buxton

We don’t drive off site and spent 4 nights here (3 complete days). Arrival day was too wet to do anything. Over the 3 days we explored Buxton extensively on foot with short & long routes from the site and walked around the local country park. We will use this site again but probably only for 3 nights with 2 days in Buxton, which is very nice as is the site and surrounding country park. We didn’t use our bikes as there didn’t appear to be good routes from the site. There are buses from Buxton which we also didn’t use.

Very pleasant site close to Buxton

Very pleasant site with plenty of fully serviced pitches and a good sized toilet block. Our pitch was reasonably level and a decent size. The tv booster system worked well and we were getting 5G coverage on EE and a decent phone signal. Buxton is an interesting town to visit and we can recommend Bakewell on a Monday morning with it's good quality market. Unless you are a keen walker (we are past it!) a car is essential.

Great for Walkers

First time here, stayed 3 nights. Site is sheltered being in an ex quarry, the facilities were modern and always clean, and for the best part most pitches were reasonably flat. Wardens were friendly and helpful on arrival and throughout our stay, and the site shop sold bread and milk to tie you over before having to go to shops (plus some lovely cakes and cheese). Only downside from our point of view was the central bin area at the site entry, much preferred bins at the service points. Some great walks around the site if you don’t mind some hills. Went to Buxton, a lovely town with its late Victorian architecture, 8 pubs and lots of cafes plus some good independent shops. Also went to High Peak Bookstore and Cafe, worth a visit if only for the refreshments. Certainly would return, but you will need to like walking or have a car to take you off site

Great location

Great setting and a distance away from the road. All the normal benefits of a Club site, plus very tasty Bakewell puddings sold in reception. Our mobile network worked some of the time and internet was fine when logged into the Club Wi-Fi. Very pleasant walk down into Buxton from campsite with interesting information stops and carvings along the way. We used the taxi company recommended by reception to get us back, the taxi arrived promptly and was very convenient and comfortable, a great alternative to a steep walk! BTW we like the Biffa rubbish and recycling bins being by the exit, convenient and tidy.

Lovely and peaceful stay in the heart of the Peaks.

Lovely site with firendly staff and beautiful sorroundings. Perfect stay for couples and families who`s main focus is walks and being outdoors. Site is quiet long and narrow so there might be a little walk required to get to the facilites and bins, but we did not mind and got our steps in! There is a very patchy mobile network access in some spots on the site, but there is an excellent WI-Fi coverage, so it did not bother us at all.If you love walking, Solomn`s Temple is just a short walk from the site and plenty of other walks near by. It took as 12 minutes to drive to car park near Chrome Hill`s circular, so everything is in close distance to the site. As an added bonus there is pizza available on site on Fridays and fish and chips on Saturdays (cash only). Buxton town is just a short-ish walk from the camping site through the picturesque fields. Staff was very helpful and friendly. If I would have to summarise our stay in one sentence, I would say that Buxton Caravan Site is a hidden gem in the heart of the Peaks and you should give it a go and visit at the next given opportunity.

What a beautiful location

Traveling through the UK for 8 weeks, so I can easily compare camping sites. We are also member of the significantly cheaper Camping & Caravanning Club. I can be brief: Wardens: excellent Pitches: good Sanitary facilities: fine Wifi: poor - non-existent Price: expensive TV reception: good Water points: good Waste location: inconvenient Dog walk: excellent

Perfect

We stayed for 2 nights at the start of September. First time at a caravan and motorhome club site. The location is stunning. The site was immaculate. Really friendly and helpful wardens. A 30 minute walk takes you into town. A fantastic place for a peaceful weekend. We will return!
