We have just come back from a site in Buxton in Derbyshire (I was away on a course and thought we'd use the time properly as work so often interferes with motorhoming).
We have been a number of times before with the caravan and loved the time we spent there. In that time we got to know the owners very well and have become extremely friendly with them.
What we didn't do, however, was discuss our plans for buying and using a blooming great American RV and how that would affect our future relationship (professional, of course!) with them.
We obviously knew that the entire site was made up of hardstanding/grassed pitches but couldn't relate to any access problems with regard to maneuvering onto the pitches.
We really needn't have worried. There are one or two pitches that may not be absolutely right for anything much more than 28 foot, but most are absolutely ideal for 30 to 34 footers.
There are a million things that really do make the site so good for us but the real jewel in this very well stocked crown, are the site owners, Jan and Stephen.
Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are a couple of the most personable people I have ever known and both have a REAL sense of humour.
The down side for us, as a group, is that there are (currently) only 25 pitches so large meets or rallys are out of the question. BUT they will happily accommodate us in smaller numbers up to the maximum number of pitches available (the site is becoming extremely popular now!). The cost is incredibly reasonable at only £12.50 a night (this will be going up in the new year to about £14.00) but this does include your own water supply, electric hook up, bin AND barbecue.
Hi Mike
Wondered where you had gone mate....... Should have guessed that you would have been enjoying yourself, on a course.... Yeah right Can I work for your company
Site looks good to me and the price is pretty reasonable too, much less than CC club sites. Maybe you would like to sort out about putting up a meet next year (maybe get a bit of discount for a group???). If you fancy doing this you can PM myself or RockieRV for help and advice and you may even persuade us to go as well
Take care matey

Thanks for your report. `We think £14 is very reasonable. We stayed at a site in Buxton (Near Morrisons) about 3 weeks ago and I think that was £16 - and not particularly significant in terms of quality and service.
We will try and book here for a weekend before Xmas
