- PTpat turnerJun 19, 20265.0Beautiful setting. Bit shady but in the heat its quite welcome. A very well kept site. Friendly wardens, always busy doing something. Located a very short distance from carsington water. Visitor center not far away. Facilities clean and well maintained.
- AWAlan WildJun 15, 20265.0There is loads of space between caravan pitches. The grounds are clean and very well maintained. The is only toilet/shower block but its fairly close to most pitches the furthest you have to walk to the toilets is 2 or 3 minutes. The toilets, showers and washing cubicles are very clean. The showers you don't have to keep your hand on a button for the water to come out. I went during school term and it was unbelievably quiet and peaceful
- AEAngeline EllingfordJun 10, 20265.0Really nicely laid out site with quite a few different areas to choose from. Facilities were spotless and luckily we arrived on the day the fish and chip van came which was an added bonus because we'd had a long day of hiking. It was the perfect place to reset although we could only stay one night so didn't get a chance to explore. Would love to return and explore a bit more.
- MPMegan PalmerJun 10, 20265.0We enjoyed a weekend in our campervan staying at Carsington water for the one night. This was our first experience being on a club site and we were pleasantly surprised. The shared amenities where spotless and roomy and choosing your own pitch was a lovely plus!
- NCNatalie CMay 26, 20265.0We typically only stay at Caravan and Motorhome Club sites because we know exactly what to expect — clean, safe, quiet, and well-equipped facilities. That said, we think we may have found a new favourite at Carsington Water! We absolutely loved our stay here. The site is beautifully located within a stunning pine forest, with amazing walks right from the doorstep and lovely nearby villages to explore, especially Ashbourne. It’s perfect for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature. The site itself was spotless, peaceful, and felt very safe throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed all the birds and wildlife around the site. The managers were also lovely, friendly, and incredibly helpful, which made our visit even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in beautiful surroundings. Thank you for such a lovely stay — we will definitely be back!
