best site

just spent a few days at chatsworth caravan club site Again. it has gone up quite a bit in price per night since we last went in 2019 but we wanted a holiday so paid it. There is a nice long drive up to the site down a narrow lane which is why they don't like people turning up early, so to give the leavers a chance to get off site. you can turn up early but have to wait a little way up the lane until 1pm which is fair and then you cross a little bridge and into the site. is a small shop selling basics. ample space for those wanting awnings up, some spaces are lovely with big grass areas at the back of the van. toilet and shower blocks are always clean. staff are helpful. also on site there are lots of ducks and birds including robins. the further onto the site, the more big birds in the trees. is an enclosed dog walk area where it is safe to let dogs off lead. and then the gate into chatsworth grounds, even our dogs love that one. its like the secret garden, you open the gate and your eyes are filled with the beauty of chatsworth grounds. it does state to keep dogs on leads in chatsworth grounds but you always see a few off lead as their owners seem to think their dogs are exempt. there are quite a few nice places to visit, we went to the ladybower dam and linacre reservoir, both are beautiful and make good walks.is lots of lovely places within half hour drive but we spent most time in chatsworth grounds. chatsworth garden centre has a cafe as does chatsworth house and baslow, which you can easily walk to through chatsworth grounds. Chatsworth farm shop is good especially if you plan a bbq hard not to come away with more than you want, expensive on some products but worth it.

Beautiful location and site

We have just returned from this beautiful location. We arrived well after 1pm as we had read there is only a short waiting area before a very busy road. The site is always very busy so we were very pleased to find a nice pitch under trees. Not everybody’s choice but in the very hot weather it was ideal. The staff are all pleasant and work hard keeping everything clean and tidy. The access gate to Chatsworth is the icing on the cake and we were able to stroll when it was a little cooler in the evening when nobody else was around. The wood fired pizza on Sunday and Wednesday were excellent and there is a little shop in reception for basic items. Our only issue (that we will talk to the warden about when we are able to book again) is some of the internal roadways are very narrow on corners for a larger twin axle with plastic bollards on some junctions restricting taking a wide turn. Fabulous site in a fantastic location.

Disappointing

This was the most expensive site we've booked this year (£44.10 per night for a standard pitch) so we had high hopes of a stunning site. We were very disappointed to find that most of the better located pitches were taken - the site doesn't let anyone on site until after 1.00pm but they do allow them to wait in the lane which means they get let on the site first and those of us who arrive after 1.00pm get the pitches that are left. Our pitch was cramped and we had a lot of noise from neighbouring pitches - the neighbours weren't particularly noise, just very close. The site no longer has bins at the service points as the site staff are reducing the amount of plastic used (which is good news) however they have large Biffa bins in front of the toilet block and these are an eyesore - especially with the lids propped open. The only good thing about the site was the gate into the parkland and the lovely walks around the area - we loved the area but won't return to this site.

A Breath of Fresh Air

We have spent a wonderful four days at our favourite site. First outing since pandemic began. Breath of fresh air. Staff very helpful and friendly. Great to be able to walk out into Chatsworth Park. A lovely setting and amenities are clean. Ideal base for seeing some stunning scenery in the Peak District. Highly recommended site. Angela Rowell

Great site, stunning

We had been recommended this site. An interesting long narrow road as you enter. Lovely facilities and the best stocked site shop we have ever come across. They give you a key to the door to Chatsworth Park and its beautiful. Ducks wandering from pitch to pitch. On the negative, the intro says "great for dogs" they do have the usual off lead exercise area on site...but the whole of Chatsworth requires dogs on leads..which was disappointing for us. Also there were a lot of crows on site which got noisy in the mornings. I would recommend this site, but change the site description and be specific about no off lead dig walking.

Weekend Away

We hadn't been to this site for over a year. The wardens are friendly and helpful, they give you an information sheet that they have done themselves to make your stay even better! You have access to the grounds via a key to the door on the site, this makes for a lovely walk. We went to the Devonshire Arms expensive (would have been cheaper had we remembered that people on this site get a discount)! However it was very nice and they did some lovely desserts and nothing was too much trouble. We have booked to come back next year and can't wait.

Lovely stay

We stayed for 1 night to enable us to visit Chatsworth House. We had such a lovely time we would have liked to have stayed longer. We’re greeted by a lovely man, who, when we told him this was our first motorhome trip, gave us details of exactly what to do. We were told to choose any pitch with a white peg and as long as we were between the pegs to go in forward or backwards. Parked up and went to reception in the shop. Another lovely lady gave us info and a key for the gate into Chatsworth. We were parked by the dog walk and gate, but it was private and peaceful. Lovely day at Chatsworth House, 15 minutes walk through the grounds. Pizza van came on the evening we were there and we got 2 fantastic freshly made stone baked margaritas, but order them early as they run out quickly. The facilities were clean and modern. Ducks and pheasants wander among the pitches, and there are deer in the park. Although busy when we were there we didn’t feel encroached upon. Ours was a standard pitch with ehu but plenty of space around our MH. Will definitely go back.

Nice site but rushed on arrival

This site is in a good location, great base for the area. It is one of the more expensive sites. We arrived on Saturday evening and were rather rushed at reception, ti give our pitch number,as the office was closing 20 minutes later. On other sites we have done this the following morning if we arrived late.

Good location

Spent six nights here and although very convenient for Chatsworth and the surrounding area it was not for us. We thought there were too many pitches squeezed into the site with quite a few just gravel and no grass. We arrived around 15:00 to find very little choice of pitch so ended up under a tree in constant shade morning till night. We know people like to holiday with their dogs and we are past dog owners and lovers but we found this site particularly noisy with yapping dogs and owners who cannot control their pets. There is a notice at the entrance asking dogs to be kept on a lead, quite right, but on a maximum 2m lead needs to be added. We encountered some dog owners with two dogs, each on a lead 10m long and they expected us to avoid them when trying to walk to the shower block! I guess this must sound very negative but its not the case. Overall we enjoyed our stay, loved the variety of wildlife that visited our caravan, including a pair of very tame blackbirds and of course the ducks. The facilities were clean, the site well kept and the wardens most pleasant and helpful but next time we visit the Peaks will stay at one of the other club sites.

Sorry we only had two nights.

We recently stayed at Chatsworth for two nights which was all we could get at the time of booking. Check in was efficient and quick. We made the most of our time by viewing the fantastic sculptures in the park on our first afternoon. It was lovely to have the key to get into the park any time we wanted. We didn’t book tickets for the house as we felt that we wouldn’t have the time to do it and we had visited it some years ago. On our full day we set off to view the winged horse near the house in motion (it is automated and runs for a minute each hour from 10am until 5pm). We then got a bus from the house to Bakewell (buses run regularly to quite a view different places from the house). We spent the day in Bakewell which was really pretty. The site was clean and tidy - we were impressed with the shower block/toilets which were always kept to a very high standard. The wardens were hard working whenever we came across them.
