On staying at this site I would recommend it, the site was kept well, and maintained to a good standard
The pitches also was a very good size and, overall a very nice break, I will be returning
Fabulous stay.
Spent two nights at this beautiful site. The layout is lovely as you have a number of pockets with 4 or so pitches as well as usual longer runs divided by hedges. Lovely views of the Roaches in the peaks and Tittesworth reservoir nearby. As we had our 2 Labs with us, the dog walk on site was long, relative to others, and either gravelled or wood chip so surface clean even when wet. It runs around the left hand side of the site and is easily accessible from various pitches and points. We stayed on 28 so directly into it. No banging gates to disturb other people either. The facilities were spotless and the 2 wardens could not be more welcoming or helpful. Add to this the Three Horseshoes pub 10 mins walk away with full path all the way. Other pubs are also nearby but not all have paths to them. However used here twice and food, service and beer were excellent.
A fabulous stay and will be going back soon.
Excellent facilities and friendly staff
Only visited Blackshaw Moor for a long weekend but long enough to appreciate a top class club site. Welcomed by friendly staff on arrival. Facilities up to, if not beyond, the usual expected on club sites - well maintained and immaculately clean. Only thing that visitors need to be aware of is that the site is directly beside the main Leek to Buxton road and the pitches on the lowest level will suffer from traffic noise. We were on one of the upper levels, furthest from the road and it was absolutely fine for us.
Enjoyed a walk around the nearby reservoir and can highly recommend the restaurant there. I'm a Coeliac so need gluten free options and they had plenty for me and excellent value for money. Can also recommend the Three Horseshoes Inn which is less than 10 minutes walk from the site.
Will happily stay here again if we're in the area.
Great Ambiance
Upon pulling into the site we immediately got a feeling of welcome. The site is spacious and extremely well kept. One of the wardens was busy tending the flower beds keeping them neat and tidy even tho the site was shutting for the winter in a short while. The wardens very very friendly and very helpful, they treated everyone as if we were friends. The shower/toilet blocks were immaculate looked like they were brand new which of course they weren’t. The grounds were well kept, and everything was spotlessly clean.
There are some excellent pubs in the area serving good food and beer at reasonable prices( we came from down south and haven’t paid less than £4 a pint for years).
Easy access to the peaks and good walking for on the site or a short drive.
If we go back to the Peak District this site is where we will go.
The wardens should be ambassadors for the club, they would be great at training new wardens or even giving established wardens a refresher.
Greet site made better by great wardens what more is there to say?!
First ever caravan holiday
On arrival, we were welcomed by very friendly,helpful staff. They new we were newbies to caravanning. Came and checked on us while we set up. We couldn’t have picked a better site for our first outing. Clean,organised. Couldn’t fault any aspect. Obviously first visit to a club site or any site. Have to say if there is one better I would like to know. Ideally located with plenty of places to go by car or walking. Pub up the road, three horse shoes, serves good food and is dog friendly as the site is. In conclusion, if you are looking for somewhere in the Peak District look no further.
You are guaranteed a warm welcome here.
Another lovely stay
We have stayed at this site several times before as we live close by. Lovely welcome by lovely friendly wardens and immaculate site dressed with baskets and pots of flowering plants. Can’t really comment on whether it is a good site for children except to say that they all seemed to be having a lovely time in the playground. Great walking from site around tittesworth reservoir and over the roaches. Towns pubs and shops close by. Several pubs within walking distance. We will be back.
Another lovely stay.
Lovely warm welcome from Phil and Steve on entering, Bev and Pauline added to the start of our short break with their welcoming greeting in the reception. We parked near the top of the site next to the farm with the cows in field. The site had ample choice for pitching up. The sites flowers at the entrance were beautiful and the site was well maintained. You could regularly see the team working on site.
We walked down to the lake a couple of times which is easy to find and lovely trails for walking. Buxton is about 15 minutes drive from site and we’ll worth a visit. Knights Castle and the Winking Man are better value for money than the Three Horseshoes but yes you would need to go in the car. We were surprised at the quietness around the lake, on site and in Buxton, especially as in the middle of August everywhere should be busy, busy, busy.
Thank you for making us welcome and we hope to see you again soon.
Good Site Stopover!
We stayed at Blackshaw Moor Caravan Club Site just one night on our northbound journey from Devon to York. Then again on our southbound journey York to Devon.
The site is easy accessible and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
On our northbound journey we stayed near the top of the site which is good for children with a great play area. On our southbound journey we stayed near the bottom site.
As we were only using this site briefly for a night's stopover we didn't have time to explore the surrounding area.
Thank you for a great stopover! :)
A lovely site
This site used to be our regular weekend site when we lived in the Midlands so it was a trip down memory lane for us. The site is lovely, the trees and bushes have grown a lot since our previous visits which add to the privacy on the spacious pitches. The facilities blocks are well maintained and are immaculate. The staff are friendly which adds to the great atmosphere on the site. We can also recommend the Community Bus if you want to travel in the local area, especially at the weekends when the service bus doesn't run.

Amazing little site with plenty to do roundabout.
We stayed for 3 nights having travelled up from the Cotswolds. As you pull up to check in you are greeted by the most amazing display of begonia baskets around the reception building-they were stunning. This love of flowers and planting carries on throughout the site with so many areas of greenery and flowers, it really is so pretty! Well done to the team who must work really hard to maintain them.
We had a large pitch on the top level of the site quite close to the shower block. Pitch was slightly sloping but not so bad to need levellers.
As you walk around the site there are photos of its previous life as homes for Polish soldiers who were were housed here while they fought alongside our own soldiers in WW2. There are still remains of the buildings they would have lived in, it really was fascinating. The site is very tranquil and pleasant.
There are plenty of walks in the area, we walked up to Tittesworth Resevoir, along the road then onto the footpath to the visitor centre, quite an easy walk. Plenty to see here, lovely coffee shop and also a restaurant which overlooks the water. There is also a huge play area so plenty to keep children happy.There are walking trails, some short and some more challenging.
We also walked to Ye Olde Rock Inn, quite a steep walk when you come off the main road but well worth it. The 3 Horseshoes Inn was lovely, with a beautiful high decking/garden area that looks out over the landscape to The Roaches-absolutely stunning views.
We caught the 16 bus (which stops near The 3 Horseshoes) into Buxton. That was amazing day out, Buxton is beautiful! A must do is the Buxton Tram tour, a converted electric milk float that slowly takes you around the town. Our guide, Michael was amazing and it was worth every penny!
Thoroughly enjoyed our time at this site and would consider visiting again.
