First visit to a relatively local site to us. Spent 4 nights and experienced the delights of our varied weather. Very good facilities at this site and well maintained - a credit to the wardens. The excessive precipitation caused serious flooding in Derbyshire but thankfully the site is elevated and although a few pools of water created the need for wellies, it soon drained off. All hard-standing pitches so no mud to contend with. Then had two successive hard frosts which froze the water pipes at the service point nearest to our pitch but soon cleared by the attentive wardens. Good cycling and walking via the Chesterfield canal. Located a short drive from the M1, it's clearly a useful overnight stop-off for travellers north and south. Recommended.
This was our third or fourth visit to this quite and well maintained site. Site staff were extremely helpful and friendly. great walks to exercise our dog in the surrounding areas will definitely will be returning.
Think this was our third visit to Poolsbrook and hope it will not be our last. Just used it as a stopover on way from France to Lancashire this time so did not do much and the weather was not fantastic but the site is. As normal toilet block immaculate with loverly warm showers. Must thank fellow motorhomer Rod for his help with setting up the TV as we had never used the club's aerial before, we had plugged the white lead into the coaxial socket not the RF socket. Cheers Rod and welcome over to motorhoming, caravans are ok but ….as you now know LOL. Next time here with more time we will use the new electric bikes so we can cycle the many local paths.
The site is clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It makes a great base from which to explore the area and the adjacent lake is ideal for a short stroll after lunch. We enjoyed our stay here and will most certainly be returning soon.
We wanted a N Derbyshire site for a 5 night break and were not disappointed with Poolsbrook. The facilities are brilliant, pitches mostly flat, excellent staff and great for visiting the area. It's only 5 mins from the M1 at 29a and an easy drive. Plenty of walking around the country park or in N Derbyshire. We hope to return in the spring. Ideal for us.
Just returned from this immaculate site lovingly managed and kept by an awesome, friendly Warden Team in the middle of a Country Park - the only disturbance being the geese when they arrive at the lake. Extremely dog friendly with plenty of walks off-site. Very near the M1 and Chesterfield. We shall return.
Our first visit to Poolsbrook - will not be our last. It was the first stop in a 3 week - 4 Club Site tour of the Peak District.
Nice open pitches with plenty of room to put up our Awning, pitch was level so easy for our motorhome. The facilities were spotless and the grounds very clean & tidy.
The Wardens were very helpful - local pub directions / shops etc: and on cycling routes.
We cycled to Chesterfield along the Canal - great town to visit - we parked our bikes at the train station and walked through the town.We also cycled on the TPT up to Rother Valley.
Spent some peaceful time round the County Park bird watching.
Enjoyed our stay and feel there is more we can do here - so will be back - we do not have children but sure that there is enough here to keep them active.
This was our third visit to Poolsbrook, it’s well laid out, clean and well looked after by a great team of wardens who always ready to help.
We have already booked 2 more visits as stopovers on our trip to Scotland.
We stayed on this site from 4th August for 4 nights, after reading some bad reviews about the noise we were a bit worried we had booked the wrong site, but to be honest we couldn’t fault the site it was clean well maintained and very peaceful and staff were very friendly, our only criticism was we arrived at 11.30 and we were not allowed on till 12 which I know is standard, and is understandable when the site is busy, but when we were allowed on it was half empty, so felt that they need to be more lenient, I think in all the years we have used club sites this is only the 2nd site to do this
