Easter visit

We recently visited the site for a long easter break, as we don't live too far away we decided to arrive on the Thursday before good Friday so we could get a pitch near the play area for our toddlers. The site is well spaced out but all pitches are close enough for the shower block. Although the site was fall there was still peace and quite and . The only fault I had and it wasn't anything to do with the site, it was parents letting there older children do what the hell they liked... They were running between pitches around vans till late on at night where there is electric cables and areals they could rip out. Apart from that a very nice site and lovely walks around the area, a lovely pub as you go into buxton the duke which welcome kids dogs and muddy feet. Will be visiting again soon.

Great base for touring the Peak District

We have enjoyed staying at this site (as a family of 4) in our motorhome for the week following Easter Sunday. The site was half full following the Easter Weekend and got busy again from the following Thursday. The weather was fantastic over this period ! The pitches are large and we never felt overcrowded even when the site was full. We paid for WiFi (through the CC) when onsite, and the speed of the internet was adequate when the site was half full, but got slow when the site was near full. The toilet and shower blocks were kept very clean and tidy throughout our weeks stay and it was only a short walk from all pitches to a water point/waste water disposal point. The Site Wardens were very helpful when we arrived and thoughout the duration of our stay. We decided to leave the motorhome on the site and to hire a car through the Caravan Club's deal with Enterprise Car Hire. Enterprise have an outlet in Buxton (although this is on the other side of the town). However, they will pick you up from the site to collect your hire car and will bring you back to the site after you return the car to them. We will definately return to this site in future as it is well positioned for visiting the whole of the Peak District and is good for all age groups

4th time so must like it

Stopped from the Friday to Tuesday over the Easter period.. Arrived about 3.30pm with not many pitches left... Wardens are new to the site but are still very friendly.. Pitches are a good size and facilities are very good.. Wifi is rather slow and frustrating when you pay £25 for 12 months access ( not quick enough to watch Sky Go ).. There were power issues on the Friday night and Saturday morning as everyone was using electrics and system couldn't cope so was constantly tripping out ( full site ).. Location of the site is excellent with the country park, solo mans temple, poles cavern and go ape all within easy walking distance.. Love this site even with the little issue and will use it again...

Watch out for the frogs!

We had a lovely week here over Easter, yes there lots of children but we found them all very polite and they were enjoying their holiday. The watch out for frogs title is because they were on the move in the evening and you were in danger of stepping on one and as one little boy told me they would go pop. There is a large colony of Jackdaws on the rocks and many other wild birds. I found the Wi Fi acceptable. You will need a aerial lead to connect up to the socket on the hook up post. Wardens were very friendly and welcoming. But very busy at times due to a power failure. Walk into Buxton very pleasant but walk back a bit hard!

Great Easter Break

Lovely, warm welcome from the site wardens on arrival. We were blessed with fine weather for the whole week. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the wi-fi was very slow. All facilities clean, despite it being a very busy weekend. We had a great time. Our 2 eldest (7 and 5) enjoyed the freedom and independence of going to the play area unaccompanied for the first time - a big first for us too! Lots of wildlife (toads in the awning!!) for all the family to enjoy spotting and observing. Looking forward to next time already!

Easter bank holiday

We have been to this site many times, however we visited recently over the Easter bank holiday and yes the site is great but the kids are a nightmare! They were running through the pitches and screaming and shouting. I had to tell them on several occasions to stop running over the electric cables. Brilliant location, nice staff, nice pitches but ruined by kids! Avoid this site when the kids are off school if you want peace and quiet.

The old wifi issue.

We have just had our second visit to Buxton and it was a much needed break. The site is in a beautiful area well away from noisy roads. My only criticism, and this is of many sites not just Buxton, is the wifi. For how long can the club say that wifi isn't accessible at weekends because of the number of people using it. Are there not more powerful systems out there. Access to the Internet was non existent all of the Easter weekend. I do believe the club have to address this issue, if they aren't already.

Recycling, what does it take to wake everybody up!

Buxton, pleasant campsite, pity about the weather (not the clubs fault). I have a problem with rubbish and recycling at clubsites in general, they are not adequate for the population of the site, Buxton's bins were full at midday Sunday and the site was barely 20% occupied. People seem to have no concept of properly recycling their waste, we all have to take the issue of recycling seriously, including the club, appropriate sized bins would be a good start, adequate signage so those who need to can understand. not using plastic bags etc etc. we live in an age where thousands of square kilometres of our oceans are covered in plastic waste, a drive down any major road in the UK leaves us in despair about the amount of rubbish thrown out of vehicles, please tell me I'm wrong? It starts at home,you would not tolerate discarded rubbish at home, lets keep it that way everywhere we travel.
