I tried to book this site for the Easter weekend but was unable to. Having taken a ride out to the area over the holiday weekend on the motorcycle and seeing how busy it was I am glad I could not get on. I did book mid week the following week and took my six year old granddaughter, and what a break it was. We were up early every day( not much choice with the resident pheasants and ducks demanding to be fed ) there was so much to do that I felt we could have stayed longer. If you go to the animal park and adventure park remember to take a picnic. We spent 5 hours in there and the kids can run about all day running off that excess energy.  Chatsworth house is a tad expensive for a whole family but is worth the visit. The site is very clean and well looked after and the staff very pleasant and accommodating. Some of the pitches are a little tight but everyone seems happy to help if you are struggling to get your van in to the pitch. The shower block was always clean. The bonus for me was the close proximity of the river Derwent for our canoing trips. My granddaughter said it all " it's never boring when I come away with you"
