Why stay here ...

Tissington Caravan and Motorhome Site is situated on the limestone way in the beautiful village of Tissington. The site is a one acre level/gentle slope that is open all year. It has three hardstanding pitches, grass pitches, electric hookups, elsan emptying point, drinking water and recycling bins as well as a well-stocked information shed with leaflets to local attractions.

With easy access and only 400 yards to the Tissington Trail, a great location for cyclists and walkers. Tissington has a selection of shops and businesses such as a butchers, candle workshop, plant nursery, gift shop and tea rooms.

The Jacobean hall is open to the public several times throughout the year. There is also a good bus service to Ashbourne and Buxton, passing through other Peak District villages. In close proximity to Dove Dale and less than a 30 minute drive from Bakewell and Matlock, we are a good base for attractions such as the heights of Abraham, Carsington Water and Alton Towers. Booking is essential.

Peaceful, friendly and lovely location.

Tissington Caravan and Motorhome Site
Spent 10 nights on this beautiful Cl, friendly welcome and lovely large hard standing pitches. Beautifully situated above Tissington village with fantastic walks from site, only a short distance from the Tissington Trail so excellent for cycling. A short walk down the lane, there's a butchers and in the village a wonderful cafe. There is a bus stop in the village although we had our own transport. Ed and Kathryn were staying in their caravan on site for a few days and were very friendly always greeting with a smile. During our stay, we went to Dovedale, Ilam, Cromford, Bakewell, Carsington Water and Hartington where there are wonderful walks within easy reach. Looking forward to staying again next year.

GOOD SITE, PITY ABOUT THE OWNERS IGNORING US DURING OUR STAY.

Tissington Caravan and Motorhome Site
We stayed 7 nights This is a well laid out CL with 5 hard standings, one chemical disposal point and 2 water taps ( that were extremely slow 22 min to fill an aqua roll !), BUT the owners did not welcombe or speak to us at all during our stay, (although they regularly chatted at length to their other quests).

A Magical Spot

Tissington Caravan and Motorhome Site
What a magical spot! It was exactly what we wanted as a peaceful one-night stopover on our way to Scotland in our new motor home. The surrounding area was beautiful, and we especially enjoyed walking around the village looking at the wells, which we had read about in the little Methodist Church near the site. We would love to return to see the annual Well Dressing ceremony! I would really recommend this campsite for the tranquillity, the friendliness of the owners, and the stunning views. Sally and Simon

Excellent site!

Tissington Caravan and Motorhome Site
We have just returned home after 5 nights at Tissington. What a joy! I can only really echo what others have already written. The site is very quiet and peaceful, being located just above the village, and is perfectly located on a hillside with views across the surrounding countryside. It is, however, one of those sites where you can turn off the engine, set up the van, and then soak up the silence. 'And breathe...' It is a few minutes walk from the Tissington Trail, but also within easy reach of Ashbourne and all the attractions that the Peak District has to offer. There is lots of local information by the gate. The hard-standing pitches are very wide and ours easily accommodated the car, caravan and awning, with room to spare. Booking with Ed and Kate was simple and the pitch was marked with our name, so we had no problems finding our space. Our son lives in Ashbourne, so we will look forward to returning to Tissington very soon. Thank you, Ed, for making us feel so welcome.
