Will be back .

First visit , most defiantly not the last . Beautiful peaceful setting . Top refurbishment , everything immaculate. Staff very friendly and helpful . Thought they were never going to stop working on Friday night waiting for late arrivals. Phone signal was fine for us ( pitched top part of site ) even had phone internet . Tv Ariel to bollard was fine . Lovely walks around site which is set in an old quarry , quarry face lit up at night . Lots of wild life . Walked up to Solomans temple , the views are spectacular. Then through the woods around the site . You could walk down to Buxton / Go Ape and Pools cavern about 25 mins . All worth the visit . We opted to drive . Lots to see in Buxton . Pavillion gardens, shops and cafes . Easy parking . Travelled to Thorp park and Macclesfield . Will be no1 visit next season , can’t wait . Only about hour and half from home . Half hour from family .

Unusual location

Stayed 2 nights in October. Directions were good, site access simple, open and well planned. Recent refurbishment is to a high standard and a real bench mark for other sites. Served by one block with multiple cubicles which are more than sufficient. Service points around the site are infrequent about can be a trek away to get to water / efuse bins etc Motor home service points excellent with plenty of room to queue if necessary without blocking the road to others. Site feels roomy with good sized pitches and creative landscaping. Quarry rock face is gently lit at night. There is no dog walk on site but there is a country park adjacent. Getting into Buxton is a long walk - 25 minutes to the edge of town for a good walker and downhill one way, uphill back. But the site does have an agreement with a local taxi company to take you into the centre of town for £6. Run by a very cheery guy who is happy to oblige and take dogs. Worthy of note - tv from your digital or lesser aerial is a non-starter. You will need to hook up to the bollard. Mobile phone signal is weak as is club supplied Wi-Fi. However you are in a Quarry pit!

Great site for views and woodland walks

I cannot fault this site - it's great for dog walks in the woods or in the hills. There is a 360 degree viewpoint at Solomons Temple, where you can watch the sun go down over Buxton. The new facility block is fabulous, with lovely hot showers. Will definitely return lots of times, as I'm only an hour away.

First visit to this site

We live 45 minutes away but wanted to spend a bit more time in the area. Stayed for 5 nights. The site is easy to get to and is tucked away in the quarry. We managed to get a pitch away from the stone face so did not feel closed in at all. The new facilities were nice although I would like to see a magnification mirror in the gents washing rooms. We walked through the woods to Buxton which was very pleasant, the site has excellent maps to give directions on the route. Overall very pleased with the site and will definitely return.

Fantastic Club Site

Stayed here for the weekend with our two children/dog and our friends with their 3 children. This site has recently re-opened after a refurbishment and it shows everywhere. The pitches, the roads/paths, the facilities are all in pristine condition. The site is ruggedly attractive, set in what I think is an old quarry. There is a sheer cliff face on one side of the site, so mobile reception is poor, however the service bollards all seems to have TV points. Also there is a decent amount of fully serviced pitches available. The shower block look fresh out the wrapper and is probably the best I've ever used. What I absolute love was the space in the shower cubicles and a shower where you're trusted to turn it on & off yourself! These little things make all the difference to me. There isn't a play area, however the children on our trip were very happy to make their own play within the site and also in the adjoining country park. For me, it was great to see them exploring and finding their own things to do. Immediately next to the entrance is the Grin Low country park. You can walk into the fantastic woods, or up to Solomon's temple to look at the brilliant views over Buxton and the surrounding peaks. The walk into Buxton is mildly challenging and if you don't fancy it, a taxi is £6 each way. Definitely will be going back to this site (after I've tried Castleton)

Fabulous refurbishment

Stayed here again just after reopening following the fabulous refurbishment all round. Lovely smooth tarmac roads. Excellent facilities block. Good upgrade of pitches, most of which are level. Wifi was fine where we pitched. Phone signal, as always pretty non-existing but that's due to the site being in a former quarry and not the fault of the site. Lovely walks straight out of the gate. Will definitely return. I've uploaded a short drive around video & photographic tour of facilities on Youtube.

Stunning!

Our first stay at Buxton and it won't be our last - we really couldn't recommend the staff more highly; very friendly welcome and we were so impressed with the site at first impressions, we booked a second night. It's clear that the facilities have recently been refurbished and they're of a very high standard. Some other reviews comment about pitches not being level, but I have to say that most we saw would be easy to pitch on and our own was perfectly level. There are plenty of things to do nearby - this is a very pretty site in a lovely setting and within close walking distance of the town. Be ready for the walk back up the hill though - and for those who don't want to face the climb back, the thoughtful site staff have arranged rates with a local taxi firm. First class!

Pleasant site

Very pleasant campsite set in old quarry in country park. Shower and loo block excellent after its revamp. Friendly, welcoming staff. Good dog walks in area but steep uphill climb from Buxton itself. Would stay here again.

Good but

Having undergone recent refurbishment the site was as expected, spick and span. The site itself is well located especially if like us you have dogs and enjoy walking, we particularly liked the walk down into Buxton and the walks around Tittesworth reservoir and along the Monsal trail, both relatively close by. Whilst the facilities on site are all new we were a little disappointed to find that a number of pitches were quite un-level and required good leveling blocks. I would also note that whilst the new roads are lovely and smooth they are a little narrow in places especially for larger units. That said we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this site to anyone.

Fantastic site in a wonderful location

Spent 3 nights here 2nd week of Sept in our motorhome and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There are fantastic walks right from the site and we especially enjoyed the walk through the woods to Buxton. Didn't visit Pooles cavern as we have a dog but the walk up to and around Solomon's Temple gave some beautiful views. Had to use our levellers on the fully serviced pitch but this is only a minor point. Showers and loos spotless. All in all one of the nicest club sites we have been to.
