First Timer

Stayed at The Firs for my first trip out this weekend (16-18 September). I was naturally apprehensive about towing my newly acquired caravan, but it was easy to find and the final approach was not as scary as I had envisaged. The camp wardens are incredibly friendly and helpful - as I was to discover on my arrival when my caravan took a nose dive on the grass because my jockey wheel wasn't secured tight enough when positioning it on the pitch. Lesson learned though! The site is incredibly clean, tidy and peaceful and the shower block is absolutely spotless. Location is great too - ideal for visiting the Peak District towns and villages. Top marks - and thanks again for your help - a very enjoyable weekend - just wish i could have stayed longer. I will definitely be back.

Peace and Quiet

We stayed here for just two nights early August. We was on the lower section of the site so had a wonderful view overtime we popped to the toilet block! The wardens were amazing and super friendly. During our stay I noticed that unlike other sizes they did all the work on foot (emptying bins, gardening) which made the site even more peaceful. The local windmill had an open day on the Saturday so we walked there and had a cuppa. We will be sure to stay here again as it is ideal for short breaks for us.

Small serviced pitches

I found that the full serviced pitches on the first part of the site to be very small in width and length leaving nowhere to sit out once you have fitted your awning. They seem to use every grass corner to fit another outfit on ? Closing your space down even more. I ended up with an outfit next to me on a grass corner and when he parked his car next to his van left very little grass left for us to sit out on ! Had to move our chairs every time they returned so he could park his car. Not what you would expect when paying extra for a larger serviced pitch. We won't be using this site again.

Peaceful haven

A immaculate site in a beautiful part of the country with fabulous views over the Amber valley, friendly site wardens who keep the site and particularly the toilet blocks spotlessly clean. Ideal site for visiting the surrounding area and lots of lovely walks.

Great site

Great site, stunning views. Facilities are immaculate and wardens are very helpful. To note though please do take note of the guidance given regarding arrival at the site. If you ignore the directions and follow your sat nav it could be bad news for your van and/or clutch!! I'll know for next time. We stayed here for 4 nights in Aug 16 and used it as a Base for Alton Towers being the closest site with availability when I booked. The theme park is about 40 mins drive away for anyone that's interested.

Superb Site - Spotless

This was our first stay on this site and it will not be our last! The site is very well planned and everything is absolutely spotless and well maintained. The pitches are a good size and clearly marked. The site seemed to drain well with no mud baths! This is down to the friendly hard working wardens! Nothing was too much trouble! They did not get exasperated with me when I asked for the umteenth time the details of the buses into Belper! I am deaf so wanted to make sure I had the correct times etc especially with it being Bank Holiday Weekend! I must add that all the bus drivers on Littles Travel were also very friendly & helpful! There was a field in which to exercise our dogs complete with poo bins. The Wi Fi was good and shop stocking basics was useful. All in all a fantastic site. Thanks to the wardens! We can also recommend the Spanker Inn just a short walk from the site. We had a superb Sunday lunch there and our 2 dogs were accommodated and given a bowl of water & biscuits!

A great introduction to the Caravan Club.

As very new owners (only had one night away before) this was our first 5 night stay and we are still learning loads. With the help of the friendly and helpful Wardens, and looking at how everyone else was hitching up we learned an awful lot. The site is very well kept and relaxed. The excellent and ample facilities were spotless. We were lucky to get a pitch that looked out over the Derwent valley and had stunning views from our van windows (not all pitches have these views but its a short walk to the viewing areas where there is a picnic table, if you are not so lucky). Loads to do in the surrounding area and a great spot to chill out. DO MAKE SURE you use the sites directions though as Sat Nav may take you up a very narrow steep hill with cars parked either side of the road.

Beautiful Site, One of the Best

Just returned from our first stay at The Firs. What an absolutely beautiful location. Hidden away in the countryside is this little gem of a site. The wardens were lovely and friendly and chatted away with my 5 year old. The facilities are lovely and kept clean. The information building is one on its own. The toilets are unlocked in here whilst the showers are being cleaned, this is a first for me. Within this building is a drying room for clothes as well as stacks and stacks of information and leaflets on the surrounding area and eating places. Simply amazing. A lovely quiet beautiful site within easy reach of the most beautiful surrounding countryside. Loved it and will definitely be back and would definitely recommend to anyone to stay here.
