We booked here as it was the only site within 1.5 hours travelling time which had late availability. We could only book for Saturday, as Friday was fully booked. However, on arrival the warden told us that there had been quite a few no-shows for the Friday night, which was very annoying!! We agreed with the review from "BEANSTICK" that a deposit system should be re-introduced. We wouldn't mind paying £5 deposit for each night booked. At least people would think twice about block booking and not turning up! Despite that, the wardens (who we recognised from Clumber Park Site) were very welcoming, and friendly. We have met this lady several times and she always has a smile on her face! The toilet block has been updated since our last stay, and the facilities are immaculate. We probably wouldn't book a serviced pitch again as they are in a cul-de-sac and some of the pitches are a bit difficult to access with a long unit. Probably not a site for children unless they like walking. It is an easy, flat walk in to Castleton where there are half a dozen pubs, a couple of restaurants, and tea rooms etc, so no need to cook if you don't want to. We would love to stay here more often, but unfortunately pitches are rarely available, and not everyone can book a year in advance.
