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.
