We had 4 nights here and found this an excellent site. There was loads of room between pitches and we fitted our 8.5m Kontiki on with no trouble. The wardens were friendly and helpful. The site was very clean and the loos & showers excellent - plenty warm enough. Shops? On site, there's a small shop with a cafe just down the road at the lakeside. Off site, there's a convenience store at Poolscroft and a big Morrisons at Staveley (room for a motorhome if you are careful). Activities - none on site that we noticed. But if you like walking or cycling it's a haven. The TransPennine Trail is nearby and that leads to the Chesterfield Canal and also the Rother Valley Country Park - easy cycling as it's all old railway lines. You can also walk or cycle to Bolsover, but be aware there's a big hill to get to it - lovely on the way back. We spent all 3 days cycling around. Overall, it's hard to think of any reason NOT to come here - and we will be back.
