Chatsworth is a popular choice for weekenders and for special events held on the estate. Invariably you will have to book a pitch 12 months in advance for these popular events. The site is busy at weekends and school holidays but quiet in the week outside this period. Pitches can be under trees with acorns dropping in Autumn and added noise if raining. TV reception is poor. Facilities are of the usual high standard except the Elsan disposal was not available on our visit on the fully serviced pitches. You should not be tempted to arrive before 1300 as the road is closed for access at the far entrance near the main road and they do not open the road until 1300 precisely. This creates the usual 1300 hr scramble for the best pitches commonly known as "wacky races" by the wardens. If you have booked a fully serviced pitch then these are invariably pretty good. Rumours on site suggest that by Dec 2025 this will be the last year for the site. The rumour appears to be backed up by the CC&MH club purchasing the site at Lickpenny near Matlock which is not far away which has far better access, and perhaps the space for glamping pods. A move I can see campsites moving to, varying their offer to cater for changing demands and preferences.
