Long weekend break

The Firs is a very nice campsite with very welcoming wardens. The location is good for trips out but the approach roads to the campsite are very interesting. Please make sure you read directions from the website as the roads leading to the campsite are not favourable from some directions. Pitches are spacious, facilities onsite are well maintained and clean. Overall a very pleasant stay on a quiet and peaceful campsite.

A well laid out and immaculate site

We stayed on possibly the wettest week this Autumn but the site remained perfectly usable and the dogs could be walked without coming back muddy! Some of the grass pitches had been closed off but we chose a 'non serviced' standard pitch with was nice and level. There are loads of water and service points, we had one within yards of us, very convenient. Some of the electricity bollard lights were very dull but this is only a minor gripe really as most caravans have super bright awning lights these days! All in all an excellent stay, despite the weather. Belper is an easy drive away and has pretty much every facility you could need. We visited Chesterfield, a bit of a run down place, but interesting and some good shops there. We also went to Derby, the signs want you to use the 'Park and Ride' which is stuck in the middle of a busy retail park, but the city centre car parks were easily accessible and not silly expensive.

Extremely Helpful

We really enjoyed our stay here, the campsite is in a great location set in beautiful countryside. It doesn't have a playground that larger sites have but we were busy so never noticed the lack of one. The location is great for Nottingham, Derby and Matlock. All the grass pitches were closed due to been the end of the season and the poor weather but our first stay on hardstanding was great. The wardens were excellent, we suffered a nightmare when our car broke down but we were helped at every stage by the wardens, both when the car was returned to site after the initial breakdown and when the large recovery vehicle came to take the car and van back home at the end of the holiday. They really made what could've been a very stressful experience into a mild inconvenience. We look forward to visiting again next year.

Super site

Supremely well-maintained with very friendly and helpful wardens. Hard-standing pitches have very large and level gravelled areas. Some road noise from adjacent road, but this is generally quiet at night. May not suit everyone as there's no play area and the dog walking area is small. No immediate access to footpaths - you need to walk alongside the road for a while before you get to any. If you like cycling you need to be very fit, or take your machines elsewhere - surrounding roads are very hilly. That's all the caveats done - it's a marvellous site and strongly recommended if you want to tour this part of Derbyshire. We spent 2 weeks here first half of October and would've happily spent another 2. Tips: walking leaflets from reception (50p in support of air ambulance); 'The Loaf' in Crich for artisan bread; 'Fresh Basil' in Belper for coffee and cake.

Holiday heaven

We had a fully serviced pitch and all the pitches are neat and tidy and well-spaced. The wardens are very friendly and helpful and there is a well-stocked information room as well as a dog walk. The site was a haven of peace and tranquility (and it was half-term week!) and is well-sited for walking as well as Derby city centre and other attractions. Full marks to the CC team at the Firs!

A Peaceful Weeked

We have just return from the Firs, a lovely peaceful site, very clean, the two wardens where very friendly & helpful, we had to book onto a super pitch as this was the only type available, but this did make the weekend easier, we look forward the booking on again.

Recent stay

Stayed for six nights. Helpful friendly wardens. Ideal site for the areas we wanted to explore. Only downside was the road noise next to the site(pitches 1,2,3,4) and a very small dog walk bearing in mind that the only alternative was walking down the road we would have liked this to be a bit more extensive.

The Firs

This is a site we will happily return to. For motorhome people we would recommend taking a car - the area is great, but places to visit are - apart from Belper, (country lanes with no verges or pavement until you reach the town) not walking distance.

A lovely stay

First time owning and towing a caravan, we picked up the caravan locally and headed to this site to get used to it before we left for a longer holiday. We loved the Site, it was spotlessly clean, it was quiet, peaceful and is in a lovely location. The couple who run the Site were really friendly and helpful. They gave us newbies lots of welcome information and tips for our onward journey. We will definitely go back to this site.

5th Visit

Arrived for our 5th visit, have allways found this a very peaceful park. We were told to enable the grass to grow that most off the white marker pitches had been blocked off and unless we paid for a service pitch only 3 pitches were available, we have always pitched on the lower level so didnt consider this a problem! However the 3 pitches available were at the entrance, right at the back of the road which turned out to be constant traffic ALL thro the day and night got no sleep at all. There are far too many service pitches now on this park and for a weekend trip not everone wants one which means at least half of the available pitches were empty. Dissapointed with this trip but will prob be back next year as we do like the area
