Lovely quiet site

A warm welcome from the staff at this clean and well maintained site, set in a disused limestone quarry. The facilities are excellent and always clean, although there was an unpleasant sewage smell in the ladies toilets whilst we were there. There's no phone signal in the quarry, the TV signal can be weak, but the club WiFi works well. It's a tad tedious to have to log in every hour, but it's free, finally! Lot's of fabulous walks in the area, good value pub food and nearby Buxton is worth exploring. We will be back!

Beautiful site with lots to do in the area

We spent 6 nights on a serviced pitch, met by very friendly and helpful wardens. We stayed on pitch 16 on the right-hand side of the site which was very nice. Despite being pretty busy during our stay due to the layout we didn't feel hemmed in in any way. Plenty to see and do in the area. Some highlights from us were: walks in the adjoining country park, Buxton Pavilion Gardens, and Buxton Brewery Tap house (great food and beer and dog friendly). The only slight negative is that the phone signal was terrible, mainly stuck on edge - this was for Vodafone and O2. The club wifi signal was poor at best making it unusable, so be prepared! Certainly one to return to!

Second visit and just as good as the first!

We stayed at Buxton for 2 nights at the beginning of June and met our friends who live in Yorkshire. This was our second stay. The first being in February with our VW Transporter camper before we upgraded to our new caravan. The site will always have a special place in our heart. The first time we were complete newbies and the crew had great fun in teasing us back in Feb - but we survived the wind, the rain and the snow and it was on this site we fell in love with the CAMC. The site is spotless, Tracey and all work incredibly hard to maintain these standards. Every inch of the site is meticulously cleaned and well presented throughout. The laundry room and wash up rooms are well equipped and the shower block is new and modern with basin facilities as well as large showers. The pitches are large and well positioned within the old quarry. The setting is simply stunning. When we returned in early June we were greeted with sheep and lambs on the road up to the site. Just merrily minding their own business but what a picture postcard view - absolutely breathtaking. The Peak District is one of my favourite places on earth. You can take a walk through the country park which brings you out at Poole’s cavern where you can visit the incredible caves. There is also a go ape in the country park if you age children who would want to try the high and low ropes. Once you get to Poole’s cavern at the bottom it’s about 10 mins walk into Buxton where there are so many great eateries and pubs that you are simply spoilt for choice. We liked the Sun Inn as it was dog friendly. The food is fantastic with great portions and a good range of beers. The park is a must do. There is ice cream and a micro brewery where you can sit outside and enjoy the sun (if it’s out) whilst you refuel. We will return in mid July for another 3 nights here because it is such a great base. We will probably go down the road to leek and explore Staffordshire this time around which is just 15 mins up the road. Thank you Tracey and all the crew who make this site so good.

Lovely peaceful site

Lovely site in old quarry. 30 minute walk through woods to Buxton (elderly/disabled campers please note steep uphill walk on way back). While Buxton has some lovely historical buildings all worth visiting, the actual shopping street is very poor indeed. Was disappointed to see no bins at service points. Yet again, convenience to site wardens overrides inconvenience to campers. Otherwise, site and toilets maintained in good clean condition.

Grateful for being flexible

Many thanks to the team at Buxton. we used the site as a station for a local squash tournament. They let us check out later and accomodated our needs having not booked it. If I was not able to, this would have been stressful and inconvenient. They went above and beyond! Very clean facilities, would definately return. Matthew Nott

Lovely site

I’d like to say thank you to the warden who l woke before 6.30 in the morning as l had locked myself (and dog) out of my van. He helped me get back in and was very, very kind and patient about it, especially given what time it was! Thank you so much. It’s a lovely site with great walks just on the doorstep too

Lovely Weekend

My wife and I have just spent the weekend here. Lovely experience. Very clean and well organised site. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Generous pitches. Nice and quiet day and night. Short walk into town, where there are several parks. Very likely to return.

Lovely Spacious Site.

We stayed at Buxton for 4 nights to visit friends in the area. The pitches are fairly level, we were on service pitch 12 and needed a ramp to level us up side to side just a little. The pitches are hard standing and of a really decent size. Nicely arranged in alcoves with grassy areas about. It was quiet when we were there. One can walk up to Solomons Temple and in to Buxton though some may find the walk back a bit strenuous. There is a dog friendly taxi from Buxton I believe though we didn't use it ourselves. There are plenty of walks for the dogs from the site but in some places they really do need to be on a lead as sheep and lambs about. Perhaps not so good for children as there isn't a play area. Having a car would ensure being able to explore the area which is rather lovely. A very big thank you to the wardens who do run a small shop. I was able to buy some lovely bread rolls from there having forgotten to bring any bread with me. It is unusual these days so again the wee shop was much appreciated.

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.
