Our first trip to a club site so nothing to compare with yet. However, everything we needed was here - friendly welcome, hot showers, clean toilets and the forgotten tomato ketchup for the bacon butties! We wanted to walk to the nearby pub but sadly circumstances did not allow this, but we did walk to Tittesworth Reservoir and visitor centre from the site.

We received a warm welcome and had a chioce of pitches all of which were very basic and not well maintained. This site has 2 shower blocks but both are in need of updating. Only 4 showers for the whole site. Reception and other out buildings suffering from wear and tear i.e rotting woodwork etc. Suggest some money is spent on this site as it is open all year round. Dont think we will use again.

When we arrived we had to ring bell and did not get the warmest of greetings but did have our choice of pitch. Having read the previous comments about the flowers in the showers blocks, must point out that these only relate to the top block the bottom block could do with some updating. Only 2 showers, 2 sinks and 2 toilets - poor handryer. It rained quite a lot the week were were there and the grass pitch became sodden and a quagmire. Despite being near the bottom on the site the noise from the main road (Leek to Buxton)was very audiable. Would not recommend the fish and chip van that turns up on a friday - very greasy and over priced for the portion sizes.

On arrival we were greeted in a rushed fashion by the female site manager, told we were facing the wrong way when we had pulled up outside the reception area, then taken to a choice of 2 pitches and told to pick one.
At no point were we shown where the drinking water was or where the grey water disposal was although we were told where the bins were.
The dog walk as described by a previous reviewer was only suitable as quick toileting area as it is litterally just a tiny square of land with a few trees.
Maybe with more helpful and attentative site managers it may have been better, but not a good showing for your club as this was the first time we had used one of your club sites and unfortunately it has left us disappointed and considering not renewing our membership come November.

We were welcomed by Ann and was given the choice of our pitch which we were then shown to.
Setting up the tent was a challenge – stones were just under the grass which made putting in the pegs difficult. The facilities were kept clean and tidy but we did find that the showers are on a 25 second timer with no temperature control – the water was too hot for our children which made showering them difficult. Of the two sinks in the toilets, only one had soap so if somebody was in the sink cubicle, there was no soap to wash your hands with. It rained for most of the three days we were there but the site remained well drained.

On arriving we were told that we had not booked for an awning but were then told something could be found for us. We were taken to a new very even area under the trees next to the dog walk, and I use this term very carefully as it was so small it could only really be use for one thing. The next day I produced our booking form which showed we did in fact book a site with awning. Although it was their mistake we never received an apology. I feel this site is really for tents and caravans and motorhomes are the poor relation to be hidden away. Would not go back.

A beautifully maintained site, run by very friendly and helpful people. Smashing location, and lots to do for young families in the local area.
We (and others) had a problem with our nearest neighbours' dogs (barking and whining constantly), and it was resolved by the staff (the owners stayed, the dogs asked to leave) with understanding and tact and no resulting awkwardness.
I would definitely recommend this site.

Fantastic site just 3 mins out of Leek on the Buxton Route.
Super-friendly booking and welcome. Shown to the pitch by Gerry who helped push the van onto our hardstanding pitch, as I've not perfected the art of reversing onto a pitch yet. Do ensure you have chocks and ramps as although a concrete slab, strangely our pitch still sloped. Toilets showers all immaculately clean and flowers in both Gents & Ladies. Really peaceful site for walking in the Peak. Lazy Trout nr Tittesworth reservoir great for well-priced meals and a great welcome at Merebrook, good pint in the Three Horseshoes but food looks expensive. Good walk but didn't eat there.
Great view of the Roaches a must for climbing & walking

We stayed for 3 nights whilst visiting relatives. The Staff were very polite and helpful. The site is very clean as are the toilet blocks. It is only about 2 miles from Leek, which has a lot of antique shops. There are lots of places to visit such as the potteries, Trentham Gardens, Monkey world to name but a few. It is not all that far from Alton Towers.
We will return.

I loved the site. the only one problem was that there was only four male showers on the site so we had to wait until someone else had finished. the site was very nice and there is a pub down the road and that was fantastic for a walk down to there.

My friend and I arrived here with such a warm welcome. This was my friends first time towing and we were met by such a friendly team. 2 guys helped us both reverse our vans which was fantastic!!
Small dog run area but Basil loved it and served a purpose!!
kids area basic but kept our crew ammused
could do with a ball games area but apart from that fantastic place!!
Had a lovely day at Tittersworth!!
Just the staff were fantastic and cant thank them enough!!

Excellent People running the site more than happy to help you with anything.
Great Bathroom faciliies.
Areas with both grass and trees and open areas.
nice walks just in next field.
Great food in the 3 Horse Shoes Pub left out onto the main road and half a mile down the road. Well worth a visit.
Lots to do in the area, had a great day a Rudyard Lake with a steam train ride and row boats that allow young children (mine was 2 years old) and dogs on board at no extra cost.
Only down side was some road noise but it wasn't disturbing.
We will be going back again and again.

Brilliant friendly site with good facilities, easy to get to and central to a lot to do. One minor downfall, next to a main road, but I'm sure its a lot quieter when there are leaves on the trees. Lovely site, would def stay again. Liked the concrete hard standings. Tittesworth lake near by as is the Peaks and Potteries.

We found that the site was welcoming and the area around good for walkers, if you want to walk into Leek it took us about 50 mins (but we are slow walkers) main road quite busy, Bus stop about 10 mins walk away, Take the Bus into Buxton really worth a visit, also have a look at leek libary wonderfull building,.
will be going back again

This was only our 3rd camping trip and we found it a great experience.We arrived after dark and was given a choice of pitches to park by the friendly warden who was very helpful.In agreat spot for walking with our two dogs (who also loved it). Not far from the Tittersworth Reservoir which you can walk all the way round.Site was spotless and well looked after. My only complaint was not against the site but other unresponsible dog owners who had not cleaned up after their dogs in the dog walk area even though a bin and dustpan were provided. Will defenately be returning.

Lovely walks directly from the site to the Roaches and Tittesworth Resevoir and an excellent pub is 15 min walk away (Real Ale and good food)Leek Town short drive away with traditional market on Saturdays. Many Peak District attractions a short drive away.

I was camped at the bottom of the site (no electric)standard pitch. The whole bottom area is poorly drained not helped by the bank at the rear of the slope. The whole time I was there the ground was waterlogged and when it rained most of the pitches had water laying on the surface. I found the only dry spot in the right hand corner under the trees just enough to pitch my 2 man tent. I think that the situation could be improved by planting more trees (plane or poplar)at the back of the site as they do on waterlogged ground in Holland and by cutting drainage channels in the bank so that the water can drain into the ditch behind. Apart from this I think this is a wonderful well maintained site.
