Convenient for Buxton Opera

We use the site for Buxton Opera performances, they present a varied and high quality programme in a beautiful setting. A taxi from site to town is £6 and reliable. And the site is a good base for touring the Peak District with enjoyable walks from site. The site staff were all lovely, friendly and efficient. They did a great job dealing with the sudden power cut when someone in the local area chopped through a cable, on a busy Saturday. We will be back.

Large campsite, well organised with modern facilities

We've stayed here a few times, twice since covid and now recently as rules have relaxed. It was great to get back, the site was running near capacity with only remaining pitches available on the furthest end of the site. The warden was allocating pitches to save walking back to reception and to help people get settled asap. We were told to reverse onto the pitch with drivers side to the marker as normal. The pitch we stayed on was 99 and i thought it looked on par with other pitches all of which are flat and a good size, with the exception of one pitch which I noticed hadn't been taken or allocated that evening. I don't think all pitches should be charged at the same rate unless they meet certain criteria. The toilet block is very modern and nicely done. It was spotlessly clean. Overall a very modern, well managed site that i would like to continue visiting to further explore the area.

Delights of Derbyshire

We spent 6 nights at Grin Low in mid September 21 on a standard pitch with awning and were delighted to see such improvements made around the site particularly with the modernised and airy facilities block. With Covid restrictions easing and more information available due to the reopening of the Information Centre on site there was no shortage of things to do in the area. This was our third visit to the site at Buxton and we think these improvements show the way forward for the rest of the network. As always with club sites we found the site staff very helpful, diligent in their duties and always 'on top' of the tasks. No hesitation in recommending this beautiful site in a wonderful setting with excellent walking routes, lots of photographic opportunities and delightful off road cycle tracks but a short distance away. Looking forward to another visit in the near future and hoping to book a serviced pitch next time.

Brilliant site

My wife and I stayed for three days and loved this site. The location is good being a 30 minute walk into Buxton and the facilities (recently refurbished I believe) are possible some of the best we have ever come across. A quiet location on the edge of a country park the site is situated within an old quarry so quite sheltered. The quarry wall makes up one side of the site but it is not claustrophobic. The wardens were very helpful and the wash blocks were kept spotless. We would love to go back.

Great site in great location

Stayed at this site for the first time during September 2021. The site is in a fantastic location for walking and cycling, including walking to Buxton. The town is nice and there is plenty to do in the surrounding area. The site facilities are new, clean and there are ample toilets and showers. The wardens were friendly and efficient. The facilities are at the top of the site and therefore quite a way from the pitches at the bottom. There is also patchy phone signal, 4G and WiFi. You will need a tv lead to connect to the port on the back of the electric boxes for any tv signal. The site shop sells tv leads and has a great selection of goods from a local bakery.

Beautiful Site

Lovely picturesque site in an old quarry above Buxton. Pitches are quite big, we had a serviced pitch, number 19 with beautiful views from our awning. Wardens are friendly and helpful, facillities are clean and well looked after. Nice walks around the site, including walks into Buxton and also further a field. Also not to far away from Bakewell, Matlock, Castleton, Chatsworth and other tourist attractions. I have had to rate this for families as there does not seem to be a pass option, but there is no pkay park here if you do have children. Thoroughly recommend this site.

What a lovely quarry!

Spent only five nights here, but loved the location. Close to plenty of things to do, peaceful and very sheltered. Not sure if two sections of the original quarry face were illuminated at night, or whether it was the setting sun, but it looked really dramatic! Buxton is a gem and the Opera House and adjacent gardens are not to be overlooked. Delightful villages abound and the pub at Monyash offers great food at great prices. The whole of the Peak District National Park is just wonderful. A walkers paradise. We live in rural Oxfordshire, which is great, but The High Peaks are on a different level! Already planning a return. Don’t hesitate…..

Perfect Site!

Just returned from a short stay at Buxton Site; this was our first time here and is by far our most favourite Site. The location is beautiful and within walking distance to Buxton through an easy to follow woodland walk. Buxton is stunning and well worth a visit. There are many beautiful walks from the site and in particular if you are lucky to have nice weather, a walk to "Solomon's Temple" (close to the Site) to watch the sunset is well worth it. Just stunning!! The Site is so peaceful and spotless with excellent shower/toilet block and the Wardens are so friendly. We shall definitely return.

Fab Site

Had a few days here over the bank holiday week end, Great well planed site with excellent facilities. Showers and toilet block have been re-furbished to a high standard. site staff very friendly and informative, most pitch's have TV points as reception been in a quarry is limited reception, same for Mobiles( Vodafone network) , but great if you wan to just chill and get a away from busy everyday life. Had one of the serviced pitch's every thing as it should be will defo use again.

Very disappointing

Some pitches difficult to get into. Some pitches are not in the sunshine. Loads of NOT well behaved dogs. Air conditioning running on several caravans around us for hours on end and with their windows open Children on scooters riding unsupervised around the site not observing the one way system - dangerous . Only saw the wardens once on arriving!
