Great campsite - we hope to return
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Chatsworth Park club campsite arriving on a Wednesday. It's location is great, the facilities are of a good standard and well maintained, the staff are welcoming and efficient and there is a magic door in the boundary wall... This takes you into the park of Chatsworth House. We spent a happy hour wandering about on our first evening after the crowds had gone. There are several large pieces of modern art scattered through the grounds. We also discovered that the Chatsworth three day Horse Trials were due to start on the Friday, and the rings and display tents were being set up. We paid our £15 entry on the Friday morning and watched the first few hours of the event before heading south. I gather that pitches on the campsite for next year are booked up.
The "Living With Art We Love" exhibition is on until October. Items from the Duke and Duchess's private collection are displayed throughout the public rooms accessible to visitors. We enjoyed the juxtaposition of modern and old. The gardens (ticket entry) behind and above the house are fabulous and extensive. Altogether highly recommended.
Picking up points by other reviewrs:- We didn't find the campsite anymore doggy than other club sites. The rooks are noisy but that didn't bother us.
