Why stay here ...

Set in the beautiful location of an old walled garden on the picturesque Chatsworth Estate, the Chatsworth Park Club Site in Bakewell offers nostalgic views of the sheep-cropped rolling countryside, with some lovely walks. One of our sites in Derbyshire, the caravan park is a lovely holiday retreat for the family to escape the bustle of city living. Surrounded by lots of wildlife, it is fantastic for deer watching.

The Horse Trials that take place in May and the Country Fair in September are just two of the fantastic attractions conveniently nearby the Chatsworth Park Club Site. One of the first visits on the list should be to the House, where you can immerse yourself in history as you wander round the beautifully decorated rooms, formal gardens and the famously lovely cascade. Another place for an unforgettably scenic stroll is the 1000-acre park laid out by Capability Brown. For those who want to sample and take home authentic country delights, the nearby farm shop boasts superior marmalades and jams amongst many other scrumptious treats. The village of Baslow is a 15 minute walk with a couple of good pubs, including the refurbished Devonshire Arms. Bakewell market on Mondays is recommended. Children visiting the caravan site will enjoy the farmyard and adventure playground, guaranteed to give them hours of fun.

Another great stay at this great site

We were delighted to be there again on opening day (12th April). The site looked even better than it usually does and was right up-to-date with the regulations. All the wardens were helpful and pleasant, and cheerfully coped with the arrival of 100 or so vans on one day! Nearby Chatsworth and Baslow shops and restaurants are open, with buses to Bakewell & beyond. Lots of short and more challenging walks from the site. The site shop is particularly valuable if you haven't time for a 40 minute walk and/or don't want to take your vehicle off site. It's well-stocked with campsite essentials, fresh milk, local bakery products, and other treats - the cream teas are a must!

August staycation

We had a warm welcome onto the site by the wardens. Very friendly and all smiles. The grounds were well kept and the toilet and shower blocks were very clean. The baby and toddler room was a surprise, which we didn’t use but good to know that they had one onsite. As this was our first COVID-19 stay away. So we bought additional equipment for our campervan. Like a outside pop up shower tent. Knowing that toilets and shower block would be closed on some sites. We didn’t need to use it. As the toilets and shower block were open and had a limit on how many people went in. Social distancing markers were marked outside with a one way system. We only stayed the one night but wish I had booked for the whole weekend. As you would need it to have a good walk around Chatsworth Estate. I would definitely be going back again, as our stay made us join the Caravan and motorhome club. I recommend anyone visiting Derbyshire to stay at the site as it allows you to walk onto the Chatsworth Estate through a secret door, which a key is given to you on arrival.

Amazing Chatsworth

This site one first class from start to finish. So well organised and friendly. The staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay brilliant. Thank you to the lady warden...sorry didn’t get her name. For lending us a cork screw in our hour of need.

Wonderful stay!

What a lovely site with fantastic, friendly and super helpful staff. Check in was super smooth with great Covid measures in place and really clean facilities. The couple who run this place are so friendly and helpful. They made our 7 year old feel so welcome. The secret key giving you 24/7 access to the Chatsworth Estate is awesome with lovely walks to some great pubs and cafes. Thank you!

Best check in procedure yet

Definite contender for a flagship site; however, the check in procedure is the best I have experienced to date. The staff meet you on the driveway, tick you off on a list and tell you to go straight in, find a pitch and then go to reception to pay etc. This is far, far better than other sites where you queue for ages to go into reception and pay prior to going in and finding a pitch. All sites should do this, not just during the covid crisis but forever afterwards.
