Clean machine

This site ranks among the cleanest I have visited, what a credit to the wardens. Beautifully kept grounds, spotless facilities and a cheerful welcome even after a very busy weekend. The views from the site are lovely and the pitches well spaced and maintained. The narrow lanes and hills are a bit daunting for walking and leisure cycling but the site is within easy driving distance of many beautiful spots and I would highly recommend a stay here.

Peaceful Stay

We stayed just 2 nights and had a very peaceful stay. Staff very welcoming indeed and advice on hand. Immaculate cleanliness all over site and pitches furthest away from entrance have no road noise at all. Although it's not a problem as really only locals using it as a Belper mini bypass ! We left our MH pitched up and opted for the local bus into town. Recommend not bothering as 2 scheduled buses never turned up and you have to pay 12p per minute to phone the bus travel information. Cheeky little earner for not running buses. Uber £5.80 into Belper - won't bother with buses again, which is a pity. Great views over valley and yes it's called the Firs for a reason , so plenty trees around although do perhaps obstruct 80% of the gorgeous views. So, couldn't have had a more peaceful stay and will definitely be heading back soon.

Nice site

This is a really nice site to explore the Peak District. It’s peaceful and beautifully kept. It was our first visit to this particular site, the staff are welcoming and friendly, the shower block is well situated and very clean. The bus stop is just outside, connecting to Belper, where trains go to various other locations in the area and beyond. There is a pub in walking distance, but there is quite a hill, and the car museum, which is a must, is a very short drive away, as is the tram museum. The information room is very informative with plenty of leaflets and books to assist you with planning your stay.

Perfect Little Site

What a beautiful small site. This was our first visit and will definitely return. The members of staff were most helpful and welcoming. We were surprised the site wasn’t busier during our 5 night stay but we were happy with the silence and beautiful views. A gem of a sight but disappointing to hear that it’s winter closure will soon become longer. Thank you.

Pleasant week in Derbyshire

The Firs was a new site to us. We chose it as there were a few places we wanted to visit in the area. It’s well located and there are a range of attractions not too far away. The site is quite small and it’s a bit compact for larger units. They will fit just. In addition follow the route instructions. The other routes have steep gradients and it’s worth the u turn at Morrisons. Site staff were very helpful and the site is well looked after. WiFi is good, dog walk is sufficient but I wouldn’t let a dog off lead, there aren’t any easy walks from site or pubs, so as a consequence it’s not a great location for families. However for others it’s ideal as apart from a bit of road noise it’s peaceful and there is a nice view from the site.

A welcoming and peaceful stay.

A warm welcome by the wardens, who identified and commented on the available pitches during the registration process. They were friendly and helpful throughout. This is a small and peaceful site, with ample space between the level and tidy pitches. The facilities and the site in general were kept in excellent condition throughout our stay. We (and the dogs) enjoyed a lovely walk around the reservoir at Carsington Water and a trip to The Heights of Abraham. The directions to the site listed on the website are excellent and should be followed rather than Satnav. Our only disappointment was that there are no easy walks from the site with dogs. The local pub is only a short walk away but vehicles are driven at excessive speeds on the lane past the campsite.

Secluded Summer Break

A great site for a summer break kept in excellent order by the site staff. Very quiet with great views and excellent bus services about a mile from the site (allowing for the hill). Allowing excellent access to local attractions. We couldn't understand why it was so quiet

Nice site, friendly and helpful wardens. Not as close to walks as some sites

This is a nice site. Facilities great for a small site. There is a nice pub within walking distance. Our issue was that most walks required walking along a relatively busy road. To get to Derbyshire/Peak District places a car journey of up to 45 minutes is required. Nice for a chilled long weekend though!

Lovely countryside site

A short weekend break only 20 mins from home. Nice warm greeting on arrival and efficient check. Pitch near facilities block as requested and not far from dog walk. Nice size hardstanding pitch with trees backdrop on the edge of site. Facilities spotlessly clean at all times. Bus stop outside the gate very handy for getting to Belper and back (we had a nice walk into town, about 40 mins generally downhill or flat but thought of uphill walk back led us to cop out and get the bus lol). We will definitely return.
