A welcoming and peaceful stay.
The Firs Club Campsite
A warm welcome by the wardens, who identified and commented on the available pitches during the registration process. They were friendly and helpful throughout. This is a small and peaceful site, with ample space between the level and tidy pitches. The facilities and the site in general were kept in excellent condition throughout our stay. We (and the dogs) enjoyed a lovely walk around the reservoir at Carsington Water and a trip to The Heights of Abraham. The directions to the site listed on the website are excellent and should be followed rather than Satnav. Our only disappointment was that there are no easy walks from the site with dogs. The local pub is only a short walk away but vehicles are driven at excessive speeds on the lane past the campsite.
Secluded Summer Break
The Firs Club Campsite
A great site for a summer break kept in excellent order by the site staff.
Very quiet with great views and excellent bus services about a mile from the site (allowing for the hill). Allowing excellent access to local attractions.
We couldn't understand why it was so quiet
Nice site, friendly and helpful wardens. Not as close to walks as some sites
The Firs Club Campsite
This is a nice site. Facilities great for a small site. There is a nice pub within walking distance. Our issue was that most walks required walking along a relatively busy road. To get to Derbyshire/Peak District places a car journey of up to 45 minutes is required. Nice for a chilled long weekend though!

Lovely countryside site
The Firs Club Campsite
A short weekend break only 20 mins from home. Nice warm greeting on arrival and efficient check. Pitch near facilities block as requested and not far from dog walk. Nice size hardstanding pitch with trees backdrop on the edge of site. Facilities spotlessly clean at all times. Bus stop outside the gate very handy for getting to Belper and back (we had a nice walk into town, about 40 mins generally downhill or flat but thought of uphill walk back led us to cop out and get the bus lol).
We will definitely return.
