Recently brought a new caravan so wanted somewhere local to try out our new caravan and awning for the weekend. Travelled 20 mins up the road from home to this site, somewhere we had never been before but past many times. Wasn't expecting much, other than clean facilities and a pub with good food within walking distance. I have to say we got both and couldn't complain. This site has a very laid back atmosphere, Yes you may have to find your own way to a pitch, but its not rocket science, a lot of the people on this site are either permanently sited or long term stayers. Everyone was friendly and Colin who runs the site was lovely, The facilities were good, a lot better than some ive come across and the local pub up the road (10-15min walk) Harrington Arms does lovely food at reasonable prices. Elvaston Castle Steam Ralley was on this particular weekend, but we decided to walk into Shardlow approx. 3 mile to go watch the football instead. Because we enjoyed it we are looking at returning this weekend just for a night to visit Elvaston Castle's Food Festival... A Friendly, Clean and Basic retreat 20mins from home, what more could you ask for.
