   Totally surprised how this campsite is unloved uncared for and generally tatty. No one cares about there areas except 2 that we have seen. Shower blocks unisex..not a problem But dirty..Nothing to clean floors with after use so wearing crocs in the shower. Fishing pigs are wooden and in bits.watee full of green rubbish .trees and weeds. Such a shame to see this place so uncared for when literally accross from Elvaston Castle. Overpriced and unloved. Come on guys make this stunning.Evetythg could be soo lovely.

   For camping the field was certainly not straigth. The price is depending on what they think you know about the price. They charged 35 pound instead of the 28 pound. This is not a good practise.

   The park is appealing! The cleaner at the moment at the park is very attentive, the best cleaner they’ve had yet! The facilities are always fresh and clean, and the lady does it all off her own back because she likes to keep a clean environment!

   It's a very basic camping and caravaning site, however, in our opinion, as we have camped extensively over the past 50 years, this site needs an injection of funds and enthusiastic management. Ablution blocks were only cleaned once a day, and on one occasion only when prompted by a complaint. Location is good. We were lucky with the weather as well.

   Stayed here for 3 nights, camping in a tent as we were attended an event at the nearby Elvaston Country Park which is 5-10 mins walk away. We were put in a large field which was reasonably quiet other than the sound of the road at night. Ground was fairly level and well drained although drainage seems to be aided by rocks about 4 inches under the ground. Because of this, it was very difficult to peg the tent down effectively. We ended up with about 8 bent pegs and for the ones that went in all the way, many had to go on such an angle that I wouldn't have trusted the tent to stay put should the wind have gotten up. We called upon arrival as there was nobody in reception and a very pleasant gentlemen came to take our money and tell us where to camp. He didn't however tell us where anything was; toilets, bins etc were all needed to be found for ourselves. The toilets and showers near the reception; whilst dated, were adequate, and we did see them cleaned. Hot water pressure was low from taps though so came through at a trickle and if you have a shower, don't leave it too late as we did end up having a luke warm shower later one evening. We never found the 'luxury' toilet block. All in all it was easy to find, conveniently located and adequate to throw your tent down for a night or two to get your head down. It isn't luxurious, but then you're not paying the ridiculous price that some campsites are asking these days.

   Great camp site with some lovely lakes but be aware that there are match fishermen on the lakes which is not mentioned / linked on the website. It could ruin your day if it happens to clash with a match and you're not allowed to fish the main lake. Would be better if the match board was linked and front and central on the camping website so visitors are aware prior.

   Great campsite, with some very nice fishing spots. Good facilities and a nice pub close by, nice Chinese that will deliver to site. I would have gave 5 stars but they seems to be several resident drunks onsite that were off-putting with there behaviour
