The River Derwent murmurs through the Amber Valley below, while above, Belper's mill town chimneys stand against the Derbyshire sky — history and footpaths in equal measure.

This is a quiet spot for tent campers and campervan tourers looking to explore the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site without the fuss of larger commercial parks. Belper itself is a proper market town with independent shops and riverside walks, and you're on the doorstep of the Peaks if you fancy a day on the high moors. Dog owners should ask ahead to confirm the current policy.

Facilities aren't widely advertised, so it's worth phoning before you pack to check what's actually onsite and whether campfires are allowed during your dates — policies can shift with the season. Expect a low-key, traditional caravan park atmosphere rather than bells and whistles, the sort of place that suits campers who know what they need and don't need entertaining. Broadholme Lane feels like old-school Derbyshire camping: unpretentious, tucked away, and perfectly placed for walkers.
