Carsington Water Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Alan Rogers Review of Carsington Water Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Nestled within an attractive pine plantation, Carsington Water Caravan and Motorhome Club site in Ashbourne is beautifully landscaped, with pitches in open clearings separated by trees. This gives visitors privacy and quiet, which many appreciate. Improvements to the toilet block and facilities, including a new drying room, were undertaken in recent years. Carsington Reservoir, a major attraction in the area, is conveniently adjacent to the site. A15 minute walk will bring you to an opportunity for fishing, sailing, windsurfing and a children's playground. The sites has 127 mainly hardstanding pitches (some seasonal) all with 16 amp electricity.

The site is a perfect base for walkers and cyclists wishing to explore the beautiful scenery of Dovedale and the surrounding countryside. The local villages, all with excellent pubs and restaurants offering hearty food, are within two to three miles. Don’t forget to look out for examples of Derbyshire's homegrown art - "Well Dressing" - which happens in many villages from May to September.

There are incredible walks from the site around Carsington Water, or if you travel just 6 miles, you are ready to join the Tissington Trail. For walkers and cyclists, the scenery of Dovedale and the surrounding countryside has plenty to entice.
