Review by: Mr A Broad Date of Visit: September 2011

We stayed at the caravan park from Thursday August 18th until Monday August 29th 2011. We asked for two adjacent pitches, the other being for my son-in-law, daughter and grand-daughter so that my grand-daughter could commute between our vans safely. The pitches we were given were absolutely ideal and because of that we enjoyed a 10 day holiday without any problems at all.

The site was marvellous, the Wardens extremely friendly and helpful and the toilets and showers were more than adequate and spotlessly clean. There was even a washing m/c, tumble dryer and a microwave oven – holiday heaven, especially with a three year old grand-daughter. We all had a marvellous holiday – thank you for making it so trouble free, even the rain managed to occur overnight.

Hope to come again in the near future because I think this site has spoiled us for any other.

What a great site set in the woods, the younger members of our party loved playing making dens and tree climbing, good enclosed dog walk where you can let your dog run loose

On arriving at the site friday evening we were met by a very warm welcome and didn't even need to ask our normal question can we stay later on sunday pm as leaving early always seems pointless on a weekend break, as we were informed we could stay till 6pm on our departure day.

Toilets modern & clean as were the showers, lots of water points round the site, will definitely use this site again.

We loved, loved, loved this site. Very easy to find, quiet when not too many children are on the site, but set in the most beautiful surroundings. It was just so nice to be 'in the woods'.

Toilet and shower block were clean and tidy and plenty of hot water. Washing up facilities and laundry facilities were good and there was also a microwave available to use which was a super thought.

The owners were really helpful and very pleasant and we will definitely be returning. Dog walking was excellent and the local village very picturesque and quaint. No play area for children but that wasn't a priority for us. Do not hesitate to book this site

Well what can we say. 100% as usual. A warm welcome to new wardens Carole and Tony who are doing a grand job at keeping the site clean, fresh and spotless. Read the reviews below and go and see for yourselves.

The site is very rustic, set in the woods, very well lit at night with an immaculate toilet and shower block, laundry room re-cycling bins, enclosed dog walking area, EHU, plentiful water points, CDP

Just a five minute drive from Ashbourne town ( M&S simply food / Sainsbury's) and 15 minutes from Carsington water/ Tissington trail. And just perfect if you want to get away from it all. Our boys love it there with their bikes

Just returned from a week long stay at Woodland Caravan Park.It was so good we've booked for the next two weekends!

The site wardens are extremely friendly and helpful, full of useful information about the area, what to do and where to go. The pitches themselves are a good size - ours was big enough for our caravan, porch awning and 4x4. There are bigger pitches available though - you just need to state the size of your caravan, awning etc when booking to ensure that you're allocated the right size pitch.

The facilities are modern, clean and to a high standard. The shower water was the perfect temperature - not too hot for my OH and the children, but hot enough for me who likes the steam out the bathroom!

Great for dogs - the enclosure is good for a 5 minute run around and toilet break, but the field it right next to the camp site, with a public footpath going on for miles if you want a decent walk on your doorstep.

We took our niece and nephew (7 and 9) who loved the camp site. Great for tree climbing (obv!), building dens and hide and seek! We visited Dovedale (kids recommended the icecream and the stepping stones), Ilam Country Park (again icecream comes recommended!) and the 'Heights of Abraham' (which the kids rated 10 out of 10). We are big fans of the Peak District so found the site an excellent base for exploring the beautiful countryside that this area boosts. See you next weekend!

We stayed at Woodlands for a long May Bank holiday weekend and what a treat. The owners were very friendly when we booked and so welcoming when we arrived showing us around a lovely woodland site

The toilets and showers were amongst the best we have seen and were always immaculate. The pitches were very generous in size, all being separated from each other with more woodland. My children, Twin Girls aged 7 (children under 10 are free and you don't see that much nowadays), loved it, climbing trees and dragging logs and branches around to make dens.

The site is in a great location, only 5 minutes away from Ashbourne and we all did a 16 mile bike ride on the Tissington Trail (10 Minutes away) which we would recommend to all. Also the walk from Dovedale to Milldale is great for a short hike which is also only about 20 minutes away.

I would like to thank the owners very much for a great stay and will definitely be visiting again, Probably in a couple of weeks.

First class site calm & relaxing *****

Review by: VixMix Date of Visit: September 2009 Unit used: Touring Caravan

What a stunning site! Looks fantastic from the minute you drive in. First impression is that the site is very secure with locking gates on the access roads.

The site is set out on a circular route, and although there are 40 pitches, the layout in amongst the trees will leave you feeling as though you have the place to yourself. Well lit without being obtrusive.

The toilet block is very modern and two double glazed doors keep the block warm. The showers are clean and pleasant - although the push button is annoying - you get about 30 seconds before the button needs pushing again. There is a recycling area and a laundry which has proper industrial units at a brilliantly cheap price. Only a pound for an hour in the dryer! The dog walk was closed - a temporary measure - but my labs were more than happy with walking around the rest of the forest and nearby empty field.

Location is good, only minutes from Ashbourne. An M&S Food store is nearest big shop. Nice selection of shops and pubs in Ashbourne. Very handy for Alton Towers.

Review by: C Charlesworth Date of Visit: September 2008 Unit used: Touring Caravan

Very impressed with the site.

Locked gates on the entrance to which you're given a key ensures nobody can access the site with a vehicle unless they're staying meaning total security.

The toilet block was also locked and was spotlessly clean with modern facilities and a hairdryer that actually worked.

The laundry area had little touches like a drainer to help the drying of pots instead of them swimming on the draining board, even a microwave for use should you need one.

A lot of thought has gone into this site to give it such a good layout, nobody directly next to anyone else, still lots of trees and greenery between each pitch.

We'll definitely be using this site again.

Review by: T Stephens Date of Visit: April 2009 Unit used: Campervan

This is an excellent site, being a quiet attractive wooded site with large, spread out pitches, [all with electric and water]. First class toilets and a very friendly and helpful owner. It is only £12.50 per night weekdays and £15 at weekends.

The Cock Inn at Clifton serves quality food at cheap prices [and lets in dogs] and is a superb pub, [2 minutes by car down the A515]

The site is conveniently located near Ashbourne

Review by: Quintons Date of Visit: October 2007 Unit used: Motorhome

We stayed at the woodlands for 2 nights our two children aged 7 and 3 love this site too so nice and relaxing children loved the woods to make dens. There is lots of space between units.

All facilities very clean and staff very friendly and helpful.

We have visited many sites with lots of children facilities but our children say this is the best weekend ever. We find it a lovely getaway and we hope to return asap

Would recommend it to anyone.
