We're thrilled to announce the purchase of Lickpenny Caravan Park in Derbyshire. Now known as Lickpenny Matlock Club Campsite, this beautiful site is a fantastic addition to the UK Club campsite network offering spacious pitches, top-notch facilities, and a perfect base for tourers wishing to explore the stunning Derbyshire Dales.

Lickpenny Matlock Club Campsite is set above the village of Tansley and within easy reach of the towns of Matlock and Bakewell. The 16-acre park was built on the site of an old nursery, and the existing mature trees and beautiful rhododendrons provide the perfect markers for over 120 generous hardstanding pitches. All pitches are suitable for caravans, motorhomes and campervans. Every pitch is supplied with 16 amp electric; some are serviced pitches, with their own water, drainage and electricity. Plus there are a couple of electric vehicle charging points.

The campsite is geared for home-from-home comfort, with showers and toilets in the two centrally-heated utility blocks, together with inclusive and accessible facilities. Day-to-day amenities include a veg prep and washing up area, and laundry rooms. Children can burn off excess energy at the centrally-located play area.

The views from the park are spectacular, but the local scenery is just one reason to visit Lickpenny. Derbyshire offers all kinds of great days out, from the restored Arkwright mill complex at Cromford, to the Tramway Museum at Crich and the wonders of Chatsworth House. Visitors can head to Matlock itself on the local bus (just a 10 minute stroll from the site). Here you’ll find a number of shops, supermarkets and eateries for anything from classic pub grub to delicious local food. You can also travel onwards through the delightful Derbyshire countryside on a steam or diesel locomotive via the Peak Rail service to Darley Dale and Rowsley. Matlock Bath is close by with its long high street lined with quirky shops, cafés, amusement arcades and visitor attractions, including the Heights of Abraham with its cable cars, cavern tours and hilltop park. There’s also the magic of Gulliver’s Kingdom for younger children and a whole range of other Derbyshire attractions and beauty spots to be explored during your stay.

Nearest alternative campsites: The Firs Club Campsite, Carsington Water Club Campsite, Chatsworth Park Club Campsite and Poolsbrook Country Park Club Campsite.
