We were originally due to stay at the Uttoxeter Racecourse site for two nights over the August Bank Holiday weekend but our booking was cancelled a few days before we were due to arrive by the CAMC due to the the security situation and the mass trespass there. Thanks to the helpfulness of CAMC customer services staff we were able to secure another booking close by at Carsington Water. We loved this site! it is very nicely situated right by the reservoir and we managed to get a lovely quiet pitch near the top of the site with plenty of privacy and space to sit outside. There is lots of woodland and trees - it reminded us of Center Parcs. One drawback would be the lack of sunshine because it is do densely wooded (there wasn't much this weekend!) but there are other areas which are more open. We enjoyed being able walk directly to the reservoir and cycle round it too. Not much time to do anything else on a two night break but we did have a drive out and came across by chance a lovely small vintage cinema in Wirksworth with a bar which was lovely. All in all a great short break not too far from home.
