First Caravan Club Stay

We booked this site well in advance and seemed that a good decision was made. As new members of the caravan club have to say that we were most impressed. The wardens greeted us very professionally and presented us with a site map detailling the available pitches - pop back when you're sorted and we will give you a card for the barrier. The toilet / shower block and other site facilities are absolutley spotless and maintained to a very high standard of cleanliness. The surrounding area is not well known to us but we made use of the information room - a dog walk to the Spanker pub on Spanker Lane results in a decent pint! Based on the other sites we have stayed on this one is superb and justifies the reason for the membership. Only negatives would be a lack of a play area if staying with children.

When can I come back

Trying to book into other CC sites for the Bank Holiday weekend was proving difficult, I did not want to far to travel, I looked at the Firs, which was available for the dates I required, and was able to book, I thought with it not being fully booked it was probably under par for a CC site, how wrong I was, it was set in idyllic surroundings, the grounds perfectly maintained, toilet/shower block absolutely spotless,the wardens extremely helpful and friendly, could not do enough for you, only thing If I can find any criticism is the fact I am at home writing this review and not at the Firs. Looking forward to my next visit, thank you for a totally enjoyable, stress free three days, even the dog sulked when he had to go home.

Derbyshire revelation

Our last minute decision to snatch a few days away was very well rewarded at The Firs. This site is lovely, with amazing views of the Derwent valley world heritage area, and is peaceful, quiet and very well kept. Although the dog walk is small, we managed to tire our two out each day with a good long walk each morning - we can recommend Kedleston Hall (National trust) and High Peak Junction as starting points for some good walking with a range of challenge! Also can't fault the coffee and cake stops that the locality provides in abundance. And believe me, we tried quite a few during our short stay. The facilities on site are modern and very clean and tidy, and the lower level now has mostly hard standing pitches which do not show up on Google earth. The wardens are helpful and friendly - and very busy keeping the site looking lovely. Please do follow the instructions in the Sites directory as the turn off the A6 is too sharp as a left-hander but fine as a right handed turn both on arrival and departure.  Not much for families on site, we agree, with no play area, but for those with older children the site is so close to lots of natural and man-made places of interest that this probably won't matter so much. Thank you to the girls who made lavender bags for charity - our caravan has never smelled better!  All in all a great site for a quiet break with good access to the local area, where there is much more to see and do than we anticipated. Lovely atmosphere on site - thanks to the wardens I think, for their warmth and welcome.

Cracking site

Recently returned from a 8 night stay. We were on pitch 31, all grass and well situated in a small cul-de-sac, just great for the sun. The warden, Mrs Maureen Vartey, was so friendly, cheerful and helpful. Great location for visiting the southern Peaks. We will definitely recommend this site to all couples but there didn't seem much for kids.

Our first time out.

Our weekend visit to The Firs was our first time out with our tourer. We could not have picked a better site to start with. What a pleasant site, absolutely spotlessly clean toilets and shower block. Very tidy kept grounds, everything exceeded our expectations. Most of all a big thank you to our wardens Maureen and Phil who made us feel so welcome and took time to make sure we were ok. I hope the other sites we wish to stay at measure up to The Firs.

Our stay at The Firs

We have just spent a week at The Firs & can find nothing to complain about, the site is maintained immaculately, the grounds are tidy and rubbish free & the shower/loo block is absolutely spotless and always comfortably warm, plenty of hot water for showers and washing-up. There are spectacular views & even a little seating area (with views) where you can have a picnic. We would stay again if we came to this area. We also had a great meal at a local pub, The Black Boy, lovely food & great value, but you need to book for weekends.

super!

A lovely site in a beautiful location. Immaculately clean and tidy site and showers. Good TV reception in open central area where we were pitched - trees in some areas might affect reception. We liked the open, central sites with a minimum of trees blocking light and sunshine. Not ideal for children as there is no play area on site and none nearby. Plenty of local excursions though and Belper is an interesting town in itself with a rich history and old buildings. Good shopping in town about 5 minutes away.
