Lovely site with access to the Chatsworth Estate. Good access and well presented site.

This was our first visit to Chatsworth having had our trip cancelled last June due to COVID. The site is easy to access and we were met by one of the wardens as we went up the drive. We took note of the guidance not to arrive early and you can see why as the drive is long and narrow. We found a great pitch (30) which had the sun from lunchtime onwards. The pitch was level and a great size. Chatsworth are using the new pitch between two markers system which is straightforward. We have a dog and found the dog walk to be good - plenty of room for her to have a good run about and it was nice and cool on a hot sunny day. There are plenty of dog waste bins around the site. Access to the Chatsworth Estate was great using the key and sanitiser to use as you came back into the Club site. It was lovely to be able to walk about the Estate and explore for miles including Edensor village where we tried the cafe for tea and cakes - very tasty. We also used the cafe at Chatsworth but as we had our dog with us didn’t book to go into the gardens or house. On a Friday and Sunday there are pizzas by reception that you can order and collect at a time to suit yourself or just wait for them to be made. Very tasty and well priced. We also had the cream teas from reception - the scones were very tasty but worth noting that the clotted cream is kept in the freezer and therefore needs time to thaw! We loved everything about the Chatsworth club site apart from the fact that due to the sheep/lambs and deer on the Chatsworth Estate we had to keep our dog on her lead ( perfectly understandably) but that’s not an issue with the CAMC. We found all of the wardens really friendly and helpful - they keep the site looking immaculate with short grass, neat hedges and lovely tubs/hanging baskets. My husband used the on-site faculties and commented that the band system didn’t really work - several times all the bands were hung up but there was no one using the facilities. We visited Longshaw Country Park and Holmebrook Valley Park (Chesterfield) too - the former is a National Trust site and has stunning views of the countryside with various sign posted walks and the latter was great for our dog to be off lead and had free parking. We visited the Devonshire Arms for a drink but didn’t use any of the other pubs in the village. We used the Co-op for our daily newspaper too.
