Why stay here ...
Nestled within an attractive pine plantation, Carsington Water Club Site in Ashbourne is beautifully landscaped, with pitches in open clearings separated by trees. This gives the Derbyshire caravan park residents privacy and quiet which many appreciate during the busy summer months. Improvements to the toilet block and facilities, including a new drying room, were undertaken in recent years.
Carsington Reservoir, a major attraction in the area, is conveniently adjacent to the Carsington Water Club Site. A mere 15 minutes walk will bring you to its great selection of leisure facilities including fishing, sailing, windsurfing and a children's playground. The caravan site is also an excellent base for walkers and cyclists wishing to explore the beautiful scenery of Dovedale and the surrounding countryside. The local villages, all with excellent pubs and restaurants offering hearty food, are within two to three miles. As you travel around the region exploring, look out for examples of Derbyshire's home grown art - "Well Dressing" - which happens in many villages from May to September.

Brilliant place to stay
Carsington Water Caravan Club Site
Stayed here for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the cycling and the ease of catching public transport
The site was looked after very well and the toilets and showers were immaculate. Could not recommend this site highly enough. Will definitely return.
Lovely spot, hope to return next year.
Carsington Water Caravan Club Site
The site is beautiful, surrounded by tall pines, next to a large reservoir and the pitches are well designed and spaced out. The management has sensible rules about behavior to help everyone enjoy their stay but our stay was at the end of the season so the site was not overly full anyway.
Facilities are great and kept well clean.
The walk around the reservoir was good (despite a cold wind) and the site has its own dog walk round the outside with a view over the reservoir from one side. Would have been good to have a place to allow the dog to have a run. However, we went out for the day so we could do that and we also had to find 4G for a video call, but site is already undergoing improvements to help enhance their network.
Overall, great stay and we will go back.
"Neighbours from hell"
Carsington Water Caravan Club Site
It seems from the reviews that this is a recurring theme at this otherwise lovely site. We found out the hard way. Suggest that if a motorhome arrives and the occupants have very loud voices and are then joined by similar - move pitch quick....another clue is the union flag on a pole.
We Love it here
Carsington Water Caravan Club Site
Just returned from a long weekend here. It is our local site and we love it. Everyone is so welcoming and the site is so well kept it is a pleasure to visit. Plenty of walks from the site itself as well as Carsington Water visitors centre nearby to. Good old fashioned pub at Kirk Ireton as well. Ashbourne is nearby as well. We’ll be back very soon.
Third Time Lucky
Carsington Water Caravan Club Site
This was a last minute change of booking to a site near to our home as we'd worked out that we had enough fuel to get to Carsington and back when all the petrol stations around us were closed. The site was full enough to be interesting, but not packed out and so it was very quiet and peaceful. The location and facilities are excellent. The bus service "Carsington Connection" is running and we saw a number of people use it. Our previous two visits to Carsington were spolied by "the neighbours from hell" hence the title Third Time Lucky.
