Why stay here ...
You will be delighted by Poolsbrook Country Park Club Site - situated at the heart of the 165-acre Poolsbrook Country Park, it was previously the location of an active colliery. The land has now been magnificently transformed into an extensive country park, including a children's adventure play area, visitor centre, cafe for refreshments and many well stocked lakes for fishing. There are also many trails to explore, be it by foot, by cycle or with your dog, with the added bonus that the caravan park adjoins the Trans-Pennine Trail.
Poolsbrook Country Park Club Site uses a number of sustainable resource and energy features, making it an appealing destination for the environmentally aware concerned with kindness to our planet. The caravan site is also just 2 miles south of Staveley town centre, where you can absorb the area's industrial heritage. The entire area offers the opportunity to observe the interesting local wildlife - it is rich with a large variety of birds and animals. Easily accessible and conveniently located from the M1 motorway, the site is conveniently placed for stopover visits.

Quality site
Been to Poolsbrook many times over the last few years and have always found it to be (in my opinion) the best maintained site in the club network.
The wardens David & Jeanette and assistant wardens Andrew &Julie are always approachable, friendly and helpful and work extremely hard to offer spotless facilities at all times.
There are lots of walking and cycling routes which run directly from the site and a children’s playground on the adjoining country park. Shop’s are also within walking distance so it’s nice not to have to use the car.
All in all an extremely friendly and well run site.

Just Saying....
Finding the site was easy from motorway. Happy Days!
Female warden at check in was not at all friendly, in fact I thought we'd upset her just by arriving.
Male warden 'Andrew' was friendly and very helpful.
Facilities were very clean.
The site is eerily quiet with not many children / signs of life around at all.
Over zealous enforcement of site one way system for kids on bikes, or anything else with wheels!
Kind of got the feeling children were only welcome if they couldn't be seen or heard, as ours were encouraged by the warden to take their bikes to the park, next to a large deep lake, away from the site, which doesn't feel like a safe suggestion as the kids are 11 years old!!
If I'm honest this site is for not for families in any way. Which is a little strange as its advertised as being suitable for families.
My experience at Poolsbrook has put me off the Caravan and Motorhome Club. This is a shame as for the past 6 years I have used this club for family holidays all over the UK, in fact I've used club sites four times this summer, ( Abbey Wood, Norfolk Broads, Crossways and Centenary Site in the New Forest ) and not once were the rules around the one way system so fiercely reinforced or in fact ever spoken about.
We had a very unfortunate incident at this site involving a adult threatening children within our group. A sad and unnecessary affair. As much as I feel Andrew (warden) was very polite and was positive about our kids behaviour , I also feel the threats made towards minors were not at all taken seriously, instead we had to take his advice on the chin and alter our plans to accommodate a difficult and unreasonable man. This incident made a number of us change our behaviour significantly, watch our every move for fear further confrontation and some of us reflected on the choice of club site.
Finally a message for the Caravan and Motorhome Club. Deal with the real issues and deal with them well. Be proportionate and treat those who are reasonable fairly. Reasonable, young people including families are the Clubs future and should not be made scape goats to excuse unacceptable behaviour by the few. Stop hiding behind insignificant rules!
*Not child friendly*
We went to this site with another family- which included our two well mannered 11 year old boys. Most of their time was spent at the park but when riding to the park they happened to ride the wrong way on the site roads- at walking speeds. The site being extremely quiet and In fact during our two day stay we only saw a few cars move. This prompted another elderly member to come to our caravan, shouting and swearing in an aggressive manner. Being most put out by this dreadful crime he pointed aggressively at the children and prior to coming to our van had complained to the warden, threatening to put his walking stick through the bike wheels to make the boys come off their bikes.
The warden, whilst appearing sympathic towards us did enforce the road rules and didn’t address the man who was threatening violence towards our children.
The children from this point onwards were afraid to leave the caravan alone and indeed we also felt concerned for them due to his wholly inappropriate and excessive display.
Later that same day, we saw the warden addressing another family with younger children as they were circling in front of their own van at low speed on their bikes.
This should be advertised as adult only site
Good Site, but poor location
Let's get some perspective here. The site is built on reclaimed land from an old working pit and they have done a great job of the reclamation. The process of reclamation will take a good deal longer before the trees fully grow. Although it is claimed as a 'park' it can't match the scale and size of (say) a Chatsworth - but then again many don't. It looked a bit scruffy this weekend.
The site layout shows that the designers had a blank canvas in determining the layout and, in time, the trees will grow and hide some of the nearby eyesores. There is a lot on information on the ecology of the site and the area to the CAMC site has a lake and a hiking trail. So far so good.
The facilities are some of the best I have seen on any site and centrally located. The site is kept clean and tidy.
So back to the reclamation - there are Industrial Estates right next door to the site. Not perhaps the most appealing welcome, Add to that the 33Kv pylons running overhead (but not over the CAMC site itself), there is a distinct air of post-industrial chic about this place.
The nearest pub serves cheap beer (i'm told) and allows dogs but does not serve food. Didn't look appealing from the outside. The nearest one that serves food doesn't allow dogs (fair enough). There is little in the town to attract you in and certainly no pleasant walks aside from the one around the lake or on the trail.
As as stop-off from the M1 this set works well, very close indeed but the surroundings to this site and the lack of anything decent to walk to (recreation trails apart) means that, for us, we will not return here.

Great site for walking and cycling
Just stayed for a couple of nights midweek. Relatively quiet and plenty of pitches to choose from. Staff very friendly and helpful (despite previous reviews!). Site very well maintained and spotless toilet block. Access to walking and cycling trails literally on your doorstep. The country park is but a few steps away and makes for a pleasant stroll. Cannot fault the site or its location, look forward to our return.
