Absolutely Brilliant CL.
Broadmeadow Farm CL
This is an absolutely brilliant CL, and is wholeheartedly recommended.
It is clean, neat and extremely well maintained. It has no toilets or showers, but each pitch is fully serviced so that it is ideal for those willing to use their motorhome/caravan's shower and toilet. It is also good value at the current price of £22.
The chemical disposal facility is clean and easy to use, and the waste and recycling bins are emptied daily.
The extremely nice owner, Nicola, is friendly and helpful.
While we were there we had the pleasure of lambs on the adjoining field. They rushed to the fence to meet us whenever we strayed near - perhaps they thought that we had come to feed them ...
A totally lovely CL, ideal for those who enjoy the countryside and are happy to use their on-board facilities.
The location is extremely beautiful, and there are picture postcard villages within reasonable walking distance. The village of Youlgrave has two village shops, pubs with food and the Old Bakery take-away with seating outside which serves excellent food until 2 pm. The YHA operated old Co-op restaurant is less good, less friendly and also closes at 2 pm. The woodland and riverside walk to Youlgrave is particularly pleasant.
Lovely CL
Broadmeadow Farm CL
Lovely CL site, super tidy and great owners. Fabulous surroundings with walks in all directions incorporating stunning scenery, wildlife, ancient history and best of all pubs!
Having broken down whilst there, the locals couldn't have been more helpful and we managed to get back under steam despite being a bank holiday weekend thanks to a local garage.
Will be back.

One site not to be missed !!!
Broadmeadow Farm CL
August Bank holiday weekend + a few days after. This is a beautifully site, well kept and we were made very welcome. Water and grey waste drain on each pitch. Handy location about half way between Bakewell and Matlock.
There is a great pub (Druids Inn) 2 miles away with good food and good beer. (You have to book a table). Walking to Lathkil dale, Youlgrave and Over Haddon are great walks and can be completed from the site.
This next paragraph is "Just in Case" to defend Nicola, the site owner as I understand she had received an email of complaint from our caravan neighbour, about our dog and the cost of her pitch. As this may be followed up by a poor review, I wish to put things straight as any poor review would be totally unfair.
One, this lady knows the price of the site when she booked it!
Two, this year we have been caravanning for about 6 weeks on CL's which accept dogs and there have been no issues with the conduct of our cocker spaniel. In fact most people think he is quite cute. He is well behaved, comes back to a call, and does not roam more than 10 yards from our caravan. (he would be too scared) Unfortunately, this break we were next to this lady and sole caravaner, who kept her dog in the caravan all day apart from taking it out in her car. Every time you walked by the caravan her dog would continually yap and when she went to her car or passed our caravan our cocker returned the compliment with a couple of barks but not continuous.

'Piqued' Interest
Broadmeadow Farm CL
We tend to use the Club’s CL network because of their intimacy, and often more rural appeal.
Broadmeadow Farm CL is no exception, what is rather unique is that all the pitches are fully serviced, with their own dedicated fresh water taps and Grey Waste drain, a point other reviewers have highlighted.
The very friendly and approachable site owner, Nicola, maintains the site in immaculate condition, the views are spectacular, with several walks directly from the site, Alport and Youlgreave are within easy walking distance to visit and for a quick top up of essentials.
Haddon Hall, who’s estate the farm partly sits on, is also well worth a visit. Chatsworth House and Estate are less than 5 miles away, and there’s a couple of cycle trails nearby for the more energetic.
We would very much hope to pay more visits to this gem of a CL, which is peace and quiet personified, even given the fact it’s a working farm.
If there could be a site upon which CL’s were to be modelled, this would be it, and it’s strange how, even after a few days, the ambiance of the place remains so strong.
"Charming"
Broadmeadow Farm CL
Wonderful little cl site, owner very polite and helpful. Tap next to electric hookup, Great walks around surrounding area (Lathkil Dale, Youlgreave, Haddon Hall, Etc) but sadly only had a one night stay (15/08/2020) but we shall be back later in the year. Great site if you want to walk to Bakewell its pretty much central to all the above locations. We had a campervan and did not find any issues with the roads leading to the cl site.
