You will be delighted by Poolsbrook Country Park Club Campsite - 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 Campsite 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 campsite is also just 2 miles south of Staveley town centre, where you can absorb the area's industrial heritage. The site is ideally located to visit the Peak District and the entire area offers the opportunity to observe the interesting local wildlife - it is rich with a large variety of birds and animals, which will provide nature lovers with plenty to see while camping in Derbyshire. Easily accessible and conveniently located from the M1 motorway, the site is conveniently placed for stopover visits.

Quick break away
Poolsbrook Country Park Club Campsite
Chose this site for it's ease to get to, and chose well, very easy to find and only a short distance from the motorway at Junction 29a, do not be put off by this, we experienced very little noise from the motorway, also note its next to an industrial estate, of which is very quiet and out of site from your pitch, the site is next to Pools Brook Country Park, excellent for walking around and observing the nature, back to the site, very well looked after with neat trimmed grass, the pitch's were almost level throughout the site with plenty of space between each pitch, the facillities were very clean and well kept and were of easy reach where ever you pitched up, however there are disabled pitch's reserved right next to the toilet block iff needed. Our host's were very polite and welcoming for when we arrived and throughout our stay, the shop was sparse, but hey they only just opened and had orders to fill it up for the coming season. The site has a bus stop a couple of hundred yards from the campsite going to Chesterfield and beyond if needed, Stavey the nearest village is only a short walk away with a few shops and pubs/restaurants if you like to dine out.
lovely site
Poolsbrook Country Park Club Campsite
The wardens are friendly knowledgeable and helpful. The site looked great on the first weekend of the season. I am disappointed this site is not open all year now and such a shame. The site is well maintained and the shower block has everything you need and was kept very clean. The country park on your doorstep means you don't need to leave the area. Will be back again later in the year

Sad to hear about the change to winter closure
Poolsbrook Country Park Club Campsite
This is a great site, well laid out and always with very friendly and helpful wardens. We stay here a few times a year and always have a good experience. In particular this year I had a great experience when arriving just before 8pm, after a ferry from France to Portsmouth and a long motorway run, then being welcomed and settled onto site with friendliness and no fuss. I'm sad that the club plans to close the site over the winter months. This is a site that is convenient to breaking long journeys during the dark winter months and I often use it as a final night stop off before putting the van back in storage. I also use it as I live close by and during winter is a good opportunity to get out for the weekend without travelling too far. The club fees have incresed of late and it would be easier to tolerate this if useful sites such as this were kept open in winter.
Great Level Walks
Poolsbrook Country Park Club Campsite
The site is only four or five miles from Chesterfield. It is a great site for getting out walking with quite a few great walks without any real hills. Although the weather wasn't great it didn't stop us getting out and about on the paths right from the site itself.
Although there isn't a food shop as such on site a supermarket is only a twenty minute stroll away. We will return in the warmer months and explore more from this well located site.
I must also mention the helpful and friendly staff, they were great.
Perfect location! But for how long...
Poolsbrook Country Park Club Campsite
I love this site! I regularly flit between north and south, and it really is the perfect place for me, just off the motorway, but no road noise, and close to family in Rotherham. Whilst this time, I didn't use the main block, I know its well set up, with laundry, showers and dishwashing. The service points are great, especially now that the hosepipes are longer! Because of the layout, no matter what pitch you're on, there is always a service point close by. The wardens are always lovely, no matter who is on duty.
I'm not one of those people who book up a year in advance - I'm usually a week or two. So I am extremely disappointed to learn that my 'go to' site is not going to be an all year site for much longer. I have very fond memories of the community spirit during lockdown when Poolsbrook was a Safe Haven site. I've thought of it as home for a while now! With it being just off the motorway, I'm sure a lot of people who want to break their journey without going miles off the M1 will be sad to know that the Club has made this decision. I hope it will be reviewed, because, if you take the option away, people will find alternatives, which ultimately will reduce income, and that can't be a good thing. The Club is set up for the good of its members, and many of us are all year round users, not just high days and holidays!
