Our first visit to this site and arrived at the same time as lots of others. Super friendly staff, all information given and apologies for having to wait due to covid procedures. The site was very busy and we took the first available site. As usual, the facilities were spotless and the band system for showers etc worked well. Other campers were respectful of keeping distance when around the campsite but as friendly and chatty as usual.
There's a country park next door and access to Buxton. Unfortunately for us the route into Buxton was very steep on the return journey so walking is challenging for the less sure footed. Being motor home owners we had no access to a car for exploring the area. Because of the location we would not visit again, but this is no reflection on the staff or facilities.
Located in an old limestone quarry, very tranquil. an easy 20 minute walk into town. Buxton is an excellent town to explore.
Shaun and the wardens take great pride in keeping the site in optimum condition. They are eager to please and socialise to make your stay as enjoyable as they can. Facilities are kept spotless to meet your needs.
Can't fault it.
After mistakenly arriving at Buxton when we should have been at The Firs (long story), the wardens, who had enough to contend with already, found us a space, booked us in and cancelled our original booking.
Can’t thank them enough and our ‘mistake’ ended up as the best mistake we’ve ever made as Buxton is an absolute gem for walkers and if you’ve a dog, it’s doggy heaven.
Thank you for a wonderful couple of days x
First trip out this year. This site has a wonderful setting. Everything on the site was in tip top condition and all the staff were so friendly and super helpful. The Peak District is beautiful and the site is ideally placed for exploring the most wonderful areas of it. Looking forward to returning to this super site.
This was our first visit and we enjoyed the stay, however we were surprised to see the Site Full sign up for the duration of our site even though there were clearly vacant pitches!! The staff were hard working and helpful and we could not fault the facilities although felt that there could be more service points around the site.
We arrived for our first stay at Buxton site on the last week of October which was a very miserable rainy day however the lady warden in reception gave us a warm welcome that helped to dispel the grim feeling of the day.
We chose a pitch in the cul-de-sac area opposite the entrance which had spacious pitches with hedges to separate them, a nice feature that gave a feeling of privacy.
We had a problem on our chosen pitch with no power from the supporting EHU. A quick word with the warden and a few minutes looking into the problem soon had it fixed. Thank you to warden John for his help with sorting this out.
The site has a dramatic backdrop from the stone cliff-like feature which shows its original purpose as a quarry. Floodlight at night it gave a wonderful Spielberg like feature to the site.
The shower/toilet block was immaculate with plenty of facilities but unfortunately it was rather cold inside for the first few days. This did improve towards the end of our stay when the benefits of the underfloor heating could be felt. It brightened up on our second day so we explored Buxton which is a great place to browse and travelling to any of the nearby towns such as Matlock, Bakewell or Castleton is quite a treat as the scenery is breathtaking. Well, it is when the clouds aren't down to the ground! There were quite a number of roads closed during the time of our visit including some of the main A roads so I would suggest checking your route out before traveling, particularly if towing.
A nice site in a great location, looking forward to a summer visit.
Lovely welcome, perfect large pitches. Beautiful and clean facilities. Walk thru' woods into Buxton about 25 mins, uphill on the way back tho, Boots recommended! Ate in The Duke, really nice fish & Chips. Redwillow in the centre was fab! (we thought much better then the other Brewery one) Has its own beers and brewery, had a few ales and some snacks, Pizza etc... and smashing people! Only explored on foot for a couple of nights, will be back! A map of the Park would be good so more walking from site could be easily found. Thanks! :-) :-)
Excellent site, well spaced out pitches - ours was very level so no need to use our ramps. The refurb has left the roads in excellent condition, well draining with no puddles.
Shower block is excellent. Very very clean, warm and with everything one needs - lots of hooks and trays in the cubicles
Staff were welcoming, very friendly and efficient.
Great location. It's a half hour walk into Buxton, following an easy path downhill. Bit muddy in parts.
Just spent 5 nights at this site. Fantastic facilities and location and all the better for the exceptional upgrade. If you wonder were your membership fee goes just visit Grin Low and see what’s been done, lovely pitches, easy access and superb toilet block.
Wardens are very helpful, jolly hardworking and polite. Great shame some people do not respect the work they do. I visited the toilet block 5 mins after they finished cleaning only to find someone had just left a toilet in a foul state. But afraid that’s life.
We went midweek so nice & quiet for our first stay. Fabulous site & facilities & staff. The Taxi service was a fantastic option to have if you needed it. It was well laid out & planned, the weather was fair to bad but that didn't stop us enjoying our stay. We didn't bother with WiFi & as didn't want to pay for it when we could sit in a pub with a beer & free wifi. Think we will try a pitch facing the quarry face next time as we couldn't get a TV/Dab signal but it may be our van. Walked to & from Buxton everyday so we could enjoy the vast array of local beers/ales & foods without having to drive or park. Plenty to do & see, nice walks & scenery. People were very friendly & we will definitely go back again. Great if you have a dog, think we will borrow one iwhen we go again! Highley recommended.
