First visit to this site. We followed the directions to the site, but passed by it. Not the first to do this it would seem as we entered the well signed site next door who directed us a little further down the lane. Good welcome at reception and we set off to find a pitch. The site was very busy but we were of course able to find one. The site is set amongst tall trees and so the grassy areas under the trees are rather patchy. There are some sunny pitches but these are quickly taken. Wood fired Pizza on site on Saturdays - good value and good quality. There is a chip van on Fridays, but we were not here then. Usual facilities available and in good and clean condition. All rubbish placed in the same bins, recycling apparently done by the collecting agency. Carsington Water itself is a short walk away and is a good walk around. The visitor centre has a cafe outside and a restaurant upstairs with outside seating. The breakfast here is good . We cycled to the Tissington Trail. We decided to join at Tissington, the cross-country journey involved some steep hills. The trail itself is a good ride and has tearooms at Tissington and at Hartington. If you need public transport, then the local bus service is being changed and at the time of this review it no longer served the campsite. We were directed to a service called Derbyshire Connect. This is basically a ring and ride service and it is excellent. Min notice of 2 hours before your journey. Pick you up and take you anywhere in Derbyshire and return you at an agreed time and not expensive. The more notice you can give then the more likely you will be able to travel.
