We are ideally located very near to the beautiful Carsington Water reservoir, with easy access to a lot of local attractions, plenty of places to eat and drink, the picturesque market town of Ashbourne is only 5 miles away.Our first time at this site friendly and welcome at arrival showed to my pitch and explained where everything was.

Services
Our site provides a convenient base for walkers, families, couples and cyclists to explore the beautiful scenery of the Derbyshire Dales and the surrounding countryside. DOGS ON SHORT LEADS at all times and on your pitch area (can be unleased on the dog walk area only). Our first time at this site friendly and welcome at arrival showed to my pitch and explained where everything was.
Carsington Water is a beautiful man-made reservoir built for both water storage and recreational use. There is a well maintained path all the way around the reservoir designed for walking and cycling which is approximately 8.5 miles long and offers views of the reservoir as well as bird hides to watch the many bird species that visit.
Thank you very much to all our visitors who have taken the time to give us reviews in many different places, we really do appreciate it. What a fantastic site! Stayed for just two nights, but everything was so well organised and very friendly and we will definitley be back again. Chose this campsite for my 3 year old son's first camping experience.

Chose this Campsite at random, so pleased we did, Kate gave us the warmest and friendliest of welcomes on our arrival at reception. The facilities are modern and clean and thoughtfully done. We would love to return one day and see the 4 resident goats and the wonderful lady that is Kate. Carol and Peter.

Our first time at this site friendly and welcome at arrival showed to my pitch and explained where everything was. When I turned up there was goats which was a welcome surprise I love them. Set up and walked around and a dog area where they can be let of lead Tara loved the chickens they was friendly. Didn’t use the facilities as using our own. Everywhere was well kept. We shall come back thank you.

We have just had four nights at Carsington Fields - it’s a brilliant site - a really friendly welcome, loads of room to pitch, big space between campers, immaculate toilet facilities - some of the nicest… showers we’ve seen on a campsite, small but well stocked shop, useful information hut and a selection of books to buy or borrow if you’ve forgotten yours! The walk around Carsington reservoir is lovely, it’s only 30 mins away from Alton Towers and it’s a short bus ride into Ashbourne for coffee and cake! We loved it here and have already booked for next year

An excellent caravan and camping site with lovely facilities and brilliant access to carsington water (watersports, cycling, playground, shops etc).
A very well kept, clean shower and toilet block but not very large for a site this size. Having said that, the site was full when we stayed and there was never any issue getting a shower straight away in the morning and there was always a toilet free.
Great accessible bathroom with chair provided and baby change facilities. Some of the access ramps had a small step (2-3cm) at the bottom in places where they met the hard compacted gravel driveway

Just had a lovely stay here, from the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome. The site was fab and the toilets and shower block were kept spotless.
Couldn't recommend this site enough whether you're in a tent, camper van or caravan it really is in a lovely spot.
A lovely walk from the site to Carsington Water and the nearest pub is literally a 2 mile walk.
Will definitely be going back again.
