Very Happy visit

I am quite new to the CAMC not a year yet as was a little stressed, Janette the manager who stayed late for me arriving was soo helpful to me and explained how to use the book and what the member owned sites mean etc. We were give our pitch and settled in i have to say the showers and toilets were really clean and warm ! the views surrounding the site were beautiful and the early bird song was fb. Will defiantly return.

Quiet and well kept site

We were disappointed with location and connection to walks which the description alluded to. To get to any walks you had to walk along the road and whilst most cars gave wide berth with a dog you were spending more time waiting for cars to pass. The Shining Cliff walk worth doing thou the Old Wire Works an eyesore. It’s a site You def need a car and use the site as a base. Good for one /stretch two nights Buses infrequent and bus stop near site didn’t appear to go to Belper (local town) Tried taxi but had to wait 45 mins The lower pitches have nice views. Overall nothing wrong with site just location was night right for us.

Excellent site

Excellent site with very friendly and helpful wardens. Good views from some pitches (for example 40, 41 and 42). Pitches overlooking dale have some train noise, but we did not find it an issue. No play area which we found good but may be an issue if you are visiting with young children, so "good for families" rating is a guess but is required. Facilities very slightly worn but kept immaculate. Site situated in Derbyshire Dales which we actually found more picturesque than the Peak District itself. Usual comment that we believe rubbish bins only at entrance, instead of at every service point, is a retrograde step that must discourage recycling, but this is common to all Club sites. We visited in August and again in October.

The Best Wardens Ever

What a great little site immaculately clean Pitches and facilities with some stunning views. However what made this not only a weekend away but a great experience was the two Wardens they were visible working on something or other but the check in was one of the friendliness I’ve ever had and the after care and friendliness was simply supereb they really do need commending. One of the sites I will be booking again.

Great little site but rubbish for dogs

The site itself is small, quiet, really well kept, with friendly and helpful staff and has all the excellent things you’d expect from a club site. The dog walk on site is fine and well maintained but it is small. Unfortunately there is no scope to walk from the site with your dog if they require a longer walk. The road that passes the site is without pavements and is a bit of a rat run. No footpaths within easy walking distance so if your dogs require a longer walk or exercise this might not be the destination for you.

Clean machine

This site ranks among the cleanest I have visited, what a credit to the wardens. Beautifully kept grounds, spotless facilities and a cheerful welcome even after a very busy weekend. The views from the site are lovely and the pitches well spaced and maintained. The narrow lanes and hills are a bit daunting for walking and leisure cycling but the site is within easy driving distance of many beautiful spots and I would highly recommend a stay here.

Peaceful Stay

We stayed just 2 nights and had a very peaceful stay. Staff very welcoming indeed and advice on hand. Immaculate cleanliness all over site and pitches furthest away from entrance have no road noise at all. Although it's not a problem as really only locals using it as a Belper mini bypass ! We left our MH pitched up and opted for the local bus into town. Recommend not bothering as 2 scheduled buses never turned up and you have to pay 12p per minute to phone the bus travel information. Cheeky little earner for not running buses. Uber £5.80 into Belper - won't bother with buses again, which is a pity. Great views over valley and yes it's called the Firs for a reason , so plenty trees around although do perhaps obstruct 80% of the gorgeous views. So, couldn't have had a more peaceful stay and will definitely be heading back soon.

Nice site

This is a really nice site to explore the Peak District. It’s peaceful and beautifully kept. It was our first visit to this particular site, the staff are welcoming and friendly, the shower block is well situated and very clean. The bus stop is just outside, connecting to Belper, where trains go to various other locations in the area and beyond. There is a pub in walking distance, but there is quite a hill, and the car museum, which is a must, is a very short drive away, as is the tram museum. The information room is very informative with plenty of leaflets and books to assist you with planning your stay.

Perfect Little Site

What a beautiful small site. This was our first visit and will definitely return. The members of staff were most helpful and welcoming. We were surprised the site wasn’t busier during our 5 night stay but we were happy with the silence and beautiful views. A gem of a sight but disappointing to hear that it’s winter closure will soon become longer. Thank you.

Pleasant week in Derbyshire

The Firs was a new site to us. We chose it as there were a few places we wanted to visit in the area. It’s well located and there are a range of attractions not too far away. The site is quite small and it’s a bit compact for larger units. They will fit just. In addition follow the route instructions. The other routes have steep gradients and it’s worth the u turn at Morrisons. Site staff were very helpful and the site is well looked after. WiFi is good, dog walk is sufficient but I wouldn’t let a dog off lead, there aren’t any easy walks from site or pubs, so as a consequence it’s not a great location for families. However for others it’s ideal as apart from a bit of road noise it’s peaceful and there is a nice view from the site.
