This is a nice, neatly presented site with an air of newness still. The toilet blocks were is very clean condition when we visited and were up to the usual high standard of the club. These are Environmentally friendly, being heated partially by Ground Source heating. The site is on reclaimed land of an old colliery and works but all traces of the industrial past are now gone as the area has been revamped into a country park with lakes, and paths all round.
The only criticism I would make is that the exit from the site is badly planned as it involves a sharp right hand turn immediately after the exit barrier. This is not a problem with a solo car, but with the 7.5m caravan hitched up, it was 'interesting'.
Nearby, the old railway line that had served several local pits has now been converted into a multi use off road path that leads South and North. This is accessed from the site directly via another path. To the South, the path becomes part of the Trans Pennine Trail leading to Chesterfield a pleasant 5 mile walk through well signposted lanes and paths. To the North, there is another loop of the Trans Pennine Trail leading to Chesterfield along the side of the Chesterfield Canal(5.5 miles) and is flat the majority of the way. Again this is well signposted.
The wardens we met were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and will certainly be back.
