The soft crunch of gravel underfoot and the distant call of moorland birds signal your arrival at this straightforward touring site on Ashbourne's edge, where the rolling Derbyshire landscape stretches toward the Peak District's limestone dales.

This year-round park suits no-fuss tourers and tent campers seeking a practical base for exploring the southern Peak District, with Ashbourne's market town amenities just a short distance away. The central Derbyshire location puts you within striking distance of Dovedale's famous stepping stones, the Tissington Trail, and the region's network of cycling routes through former railway lines and valley floors.

Facilities are kept simple with clean toilet and shower blocks serving pitches for tents, campervans, and caravans. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so worth confirming your plans when you book. The atmosphere here is unpretentious and welcoming—a dependable stopover for those prioritising location and ease over bells and whistles, particularly appealing to walkers and cyclists touring the White Peak who want somewhere reliable to pitch up after a day on the trails.

Walk Round Thorpe Cloud, Dovedale

National Trust logoNational Trust

Climbs steeply up Thorpe Cloud's iconic limestone cone (287m) on stepped paths, rewarding you with sweeping views over Dovedale's dramatic valley and Peak District moorland. The ascent is short but challenging – manageable for older children with reasonable fitness, but too steep for buggies and tricky for very young legs. Dogs love it and are welcome. A classic quick hill workout that punches well above its 1.2km length.
