Overnight Stay
Chatsworth Park Club Campsite
This could be a great site with access to the BIG house. A good walk with the dog. The pizza van was good and the local bakes in the shop were a pleasant suprise. However, this is a medium size park with one toilet block in the centre with no cut throughs. We were in a campervan and the walk to the toilet was a long one. ( useful to know for the obligatory middle of the rainy night walk). The biggest disappointment was that the toilet facilities were grim. There was not enough ventilation for a large toilet- shower block so it was smelly and humid. The sanitary box in the toilet was overflowing. In the morning, someone had had an issue leaving toilet mess across the floor. Fair enough this was probably an accident - but see ventilation comment above I didn't bother with the shower at this site as least time spent in the block the better. I noted a lot of reviews on access to the site and there are notices encouraging people to time their arrivals and departures carefully ( A narrow access road).

Busy site so whilst there are large pitches, there is a sense of 'closeness' compared to other sites. There is a large flock of crows roosting on site which gives you a nice early wake up call! Fish and chip van on site on certain nights. The warden greeted us on arrival and was helpful. Good site but clearly popular. Very handy for Chatsworth house and driving into Bakewell.
Very Pleasant Stay
Chatsworth Park Club Campsite
We stayed for 3nths, mid-March and apart from a bit of rain, it was very nice.
CAMC Chatsworth is a very nice site, located between the River Derwent and the grounds of Chatsworth House. You get upon check-in a key which gives you direct access via a lockable gate, access to the grounds itself, taking you straight out on to a path which runs from the nearby village of Baslow, to the house itself. Both are a very easy and flat walk.
The only real downside to the site is what the CAMC charge to stay there. They are milking the fact that this is Chatsworth House and are over charging. Other club and non-club sites which have a similar level of facilities cost less, and are in equally as nice locations. The site is also a bit cramp compared to others.
Top tip: The site doesn't let you in until 1pm and they shut off part of the road. If you want a good pitch, get there just before 1pm and wait. We noticed a stampede of caravans and motorhomes just after 1pm all touring the site looking for the best available pitches.
PERFECT LOCATION
Chatsworth Park Club Campsite
Chatsworth Park is a pleasure to stay at whether you just enjoy walks around the parkland or travel around this part of Derbyshire. The wardens were welcoming and helpful and the selection of bakery items for sale at reception was very useful. The estate farm shop and cafe were excellent quality. We enjoyed visiting Buxton Pavillion gardens and David Mellor cutlery and country store in Hathersage which was a delight.
Chatsworth - incredible location for the ‘House'
Chatsworth Park Club Campsite
Great site, plenty of spacious pitches, clean facilities, great showers (no push button). Ducks wandering site and then with your own key, enter the grounds of Chatsworth House and wander the grounds and shops at no cost.
Staff efficient and friendly, all the facilities you need. Would definitely return if I was ever in the area again.
