Good for families

Nice but no walking off site

Quiet site with nice and friendly wardens. Toilets and showers very clean and up to usual CC standards. Some pitches had nice views and the view from the corner of the site where the two parts join was lovely. We booked a service pitch thinking they would be easier but they weren’t and if we were returning we would book a standard awning pitch as some of these were much nicer and bigger than the service pitch we ended up on. Many pitches are tight to get on to – our 8m caravan was inches from the road despite being almost touching the fence at the back. This meant we couldn’t use the drain for the grey water to empty the waste master as it was under the caravan– if we had had a pipe it would have been ok. The way the site is accessed means you drive past the entrance and straight down the main street of Belper, before u-turning on the island to come back up the main street and a mile or so more to turn right into the lane. This was quite slow and fiddly but is necessitated by the angle of the junction. The pub in Nether Heage – The Spanker – did pub meals. OK but nothing special. The Hanging Gate on the A517 going from Belper towards Ashbourne was lovely though. Very few children on site – even at the weekend – this was probably because there would be practically nothing for them to do on this site. The main clientele seemed to be older couples. Small but adequate dog walk area – grassed so they could run off the lead . No dog walking off the site though – had to go in the car to get to any walking with no footpaths or bridleways accessible and the site entrance being directly onto a road with some very steep hills. A nice site, but we probably wouldn’t return to this site due to the lack of walking/cycling available directly off the site - other sites in Derbyshire would be better for our needs.
