Enjoyed a mid week break here. Very busy but very well managed and maintained. A good shop. Good walks into and back from Buxton via various routes. Buxton itself is a lovely place. All in all very satisfied and will return. .

A unique and beautiful site in a great location and ran by a great team. Thank you!

I had been to this site as a child and have been meaning to return for some time. What a stunning location, and very well maintained and operated site. Nicely located for a walk into Buxton, through the woodland trail and past the caverns. Buxton itself is a great little town with a fantastic park/pavillion area with rowing boat hire and a few other activities for the kids. Plenty of restaurants/pubs and all the usual. We recommend the Greek restaurant called Ithaca. We were made to feel very welcome by the staff and they were very helpful when we requested to stay an extra night. The small shop is great and has most things you need, including some nice fresh bakery items like bread, pastries and the compulsary bakewell pudding! Most pitches are well sized and fairly private. It was busy when we arrived but we still had the choice of several good spots. I heard a few moans and groans while I was there about the number of people allowed in the toilet blocks, and that people were not taking their rubber bands off the hook as they left, which meant people thought the facilities were full when they weren't. I don't think it's fair to hassle the staff for this, and as guests/visitors we have to take responsibility for following the guidelines, or risk losing the facilities once more. The toilet blocks were kept very clean and nearly always available when required, so no complaints from me. A lovely stay at a great site. We will be back!

Nice site in good location

Really nice site lovely walks very close by. Clean facilities. Recommended. We had a problem bank holiday weekend with teenagers riding bikes around the site doing stunts and wheelies feel that wardens should be dealing with this nearly got hit several times. Stunning country park location great if you have dogs.

Another return visit.

Buxton Club Site is excellent because the facilities are so good. Although almost every pitch was occupied it was quiet on the site. Heavy rain on our first night meant that by 9pm our motohome was standing in a shallow lake! I am hoping that the number of people allowed in the toilet block at any one time can be increased soon; it is very, very frustrating to stand outside and hear all the showers going full blast when you need to use the toilet but cannot go in!!

Good site

We stayed for a week in May. We had a lot of rain (it is the Peak District after all!) but managed to not get too wet. This site is very good with dogs as there are excellent walks right from the edge of the site, and a dog wash onsite. We visited some interesting places fairly near and will certainly stay here again to explore more. Only 2 minor issues for us: the wifi is really, really poor, verging on non-existent. So slow as to be effectively useless. The second is that, because parts of the site are laid out in a series of cul-de-sacs, there can sometimes be a bit of a hike to the services. Not too much of a problem, just a bit of a pain. And we did note some people who could not resist following the direct route, through others' pitches. Not good. Tip: the recommended taxi service to/from Buxton is by a very accommodating Glaswegian and is great! Overall: recommended.

Great site

I stayed here for 2 short breaks in the middle of May 2021 whilst my car was having its wheels powder coated at High Peak Powder Coating, on the nearby industrial estate. (They did a fantastic job by the way.) The site is very picturesque with lots of walking and biking trails close by. It’s adjacent to Grin Low Country Park where lots of walks start from. When I visited the site was still subject to some Covid19 regulations, which were managed excellently. All 4 wardens were very helpful, very friendly and very respectful of visitors needs. Buxton itself, which is walkable from the site, is a wonderful place to visit, lots of interesting buildings and an excellent park. It’s possible to catch the train to Manchester from Buxton rail station for those who require some ‘retail therapy’! The local taxi firm is excellent and very reliable. Do try the pastries, they are delicious!

Brilliant wardens !!!!

The wardens on this site are amazing and totally went above and beyond to help us. Basically we messed up our booking and Mark managed to book us in for 5 nights and said he would keep an eye on the system to get the extra 2 we wanted. True to his word he came to see us the following day and managed to book us in for the extra 2 nights. This site is in a beautiful setting with the surrounding cliffs, and it’s all kept lovely and clean. The walks from the site are wonderful. If you don’t fancy walking into Buxton there is a great taxi service that will take you and your dog. Had a great time visiting surrounding area, especially after a shaky to our break. Thank you wardens for your hard work and for being so friendly and welcoming.

So good that we came back for 2nd visit 3 weeks later

What we loved: great setting within old quarry; lovely walks immediately from the campsite; nice walk into interesting town of Buxton; good facilities kept very clean; friendly helpful staff - this site has all the key ingredients for us to make a top site.

Lovely Site

This is a lovely setting for a club site the staff were very helpful in moving our holiday on a day for us due to not wanting to travel on our original arrival date due to high winds. On arrival at the site the process was very well organised and we were soon on our pitch. I can’t comment on the facilities as we always use our on board shower and toilet but we didn’t hear any complaints from our fellow Caravans’s. There are no facilities for children on this site and at one point it felt a little like a traveler camp when several families arrived together and let there young children ride at speed around the site on bikes-and go carts thankfully it was only for the weekend otherwise this is a very relaxing quite site and there are some lovely walks and Chatsworth is a must even if the house is closed the gardens are still well worth a visit.

Exceptional Staff very clean and tidy

A very nice site with lovely walks close by but you do need transport if dining out but this is not a problem. Site shop has some lovely local produce. Being in a quarry anyone who has a constantly barking dog is a little irritating as it echo's around the site. But i would highly recommend this site you get a warm welcome and extremely helpful staff. Very enjoyable
