In no particular order:

Golden Valley – Coach Road, Golden Valley, Derbyshire DE55 4ES. Going here in May. C&CC Certified site with all the mod cons.

Ashbourne – C&CC site. Looks really good, but tent pitches not ready for this season due to new toilet block being installed.

Teversal – C&CC site. Top notch site, but a little out of the Peaks area.

http://www.lanesidecaravanpark.co.uk/ although it doesn’t like noise, bans gazebos, has problems with “Mega Dome” tents (what is that and do I need one?) and has rather a lot of rules.

We could use Google map for a proper look: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

http://www.swiss-house.co.uk/ How Lane, Castleton, Hope Valley S33 8WJ. Fabulous – you want room 5, staggering distance to pub(s), own bar, menu choices at breakfast, own car park and homemade flapjacks when you arrive.

This info is mainly specific to this campsite.

A spa!!! www.losehillhouse.co.uk

http://www.speedwellcavern.co.uk/ – queue for an hour to go down 105 wet steps along a passage in a wet boat to be turfed out to look at the world’s most unimpressive stalagmites and cave for 40 long boring minutes. Oh and all this at vast expense.

Any caves.
