Saturday 9th May – Wednesday 13th May 2009
Approaching this site from the M1 at junction 29A is simple but does tend to send the girl in the sat nav into uncontrollable bouts of fresh instructions, most of which are “turn around as soon as possible” Ignore her and follow the instructions from the Caravan Club and she will eventually realize that you are on the right road. One word of warning, there is a speed hump on the approach road which appears to have caught out a few drivers if the scrapes on its crest are anything to go by. The site is compact and spread around the central toilet block. It was busy on the day arrived and I had to pitch on grass as most of the hardstandings were occupied.
It takes about 15 mins to walk into Staveley where there are shops, takeaways, banks, pubs and a supermarket. You can also catch a bus to nearby Chesterfield which has a large outdoor market and everything else associated with a large town. The adjacent country park has walks and fishing including a café. Dog owners have to use this as there is no onsite dog walk.
Details of other attractions in the area are in the onsite information room. TV sockets are available in the hook up bollards.
Analogue signal good
Digital signal available
£10.00 per night [1 adult]
