Woodland Caravan Park is a serene getaway nestled in 10 acres of natural woodland within the Snelston Hall Estate. Catering exclusively to adults aged 18 and above, this park provides a peaceful retreat for discerning guests seeking a quiet and relaxing holiday amidst nature's embrace.

As the name suggests, the park offers a woodland setting where all pitches are strategically placed among the trees. While this guarantees a tranquil atmosphere, it also means that pitches may not be bathed in sunlight throughout the day, adding to the rustic charm of the experience.

Conveniently located just 2 miles south of the picturesque market town of Ashbourne, Woodland Caravan Park is within easy reach of numerous cultural and outdoor activities. Proximity to the stunning Peak District makes this park an ideal base for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts, offering convenient access to the area's natural beauty and attractions.

Accommodating a total of 50 well-placed hard standing pitches suitable for touring caravans, motorhomes, and trailer tents/folding campers, this park ensures a comfortable and enjoyable stay amidst the woodland ambiance.

** Unfortunately, tents are not accepted. **

Facilities at Woodland Caravan Park are designed to enhance guest’s holiday experience. Modern heated toilet and shower facilities are meticulously maintained for cleanliness, with free showers, hairdryers in the ladies' washroom, and electric shaver points in the gent's washroom provided for convenience. Additionally, a modern accessible disabled toilet and shower room cater to guests with specific needs.

Laundry facilities include a washing machine and tumble dryer (charges apply), along with an iron and ironing board for added convenience. Guests can also utilise a microwave oven and enjoy a book exchange service during their stay. For outdoor enthusiasts, a secure one-acre dog exercise area is provided, complete with shaded spots, ensuring a comfortable and safe environment for your four-legged friends.

One of the highlights of staying at this park is the opportunity to connect with nature and observe diverse wildlife. From squirrels and pheasants to various bird species, the park's natural setting offers a delightful spectacle for nature lovers. The changing seasons also bring out the beauty of the woodland, providing a unique experience throughout the year.

Beyond the park's boundaries, guests can explore the southern end of the Peak District and the charming town of Ashbourne, known as "The Gateway to the Peak District." The area boasts a wealth of attractions, including historic market towns, scenic trails for walking and cycling, and renowned stately homes such as Chatsworth House.

An onsite information point offers valuable insights into local attractions, walking routes, cycling trails, and dog-friendly destinations, ensuring that guests can plan memorable outings during their stay.

We love it. Our dogs love it, especially the exercise area. The facilities are excellent. Lovely and warm and spotlessly clean. The Managers are very friendly and always willing to help. It’s so peaceful. We chill out and watch the wildlife. We are already looking forward to next years visit.

Woodland Retreat

Chatburn, Jane - 25/10/2023

Accessibility, location, staff, facilities, all 5*Spent 4 nights here with the caravan, no frills but a beautiful natural woodland setting. The sun was shining for 3 days and then storm Babet arrived. Impossible to tow home when we had to leave so we were able to leave the caravan there and return two days later when the rain had stopped. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Yes there is a busy main road nearby, sometimes you can hear it sometimes you can’t, but mainly the noise at night consists of owls and then more owls. Loved it can’t wait to be back.

Perfect adults only stay

Burton, Laura - 20/10/2023

We stayed Friday-Sunday and had the most relaxing time. We arrived late evening and was shown to our pitch. The site is beautiful, looking out of the caravan to see the trees all around us was the perfect way to wake up each morning. The site has a secured fenced forest area for the dogs to run off lead - it was brilliant for our two dogs who can’t usually go off lead. The site has lots of wonderful walks from it - we will be exploring more of the area next time we stay. The toilets and showers were extremely clean. We had a wonderful stay and we are looking forward to coming back.

Good site and host, the showers could do with being hotter although they are warm, the power is an issue as it keeps tripping although it it in a forest.I would recommend a visit its just we don't go back to any site twice.

Thank you for your review, your comments have been noted. The temperature of the showers is pre-set through a thermostatic mixer valve to ensure every customer is kept safe and not scolded by hot water. We notice that you booked on-line through our website where it clearly states the electric supply to each pitch is 10amps. This is also stated in our welcome leaflet you were given upon arrival. A 3kw fast boil kettle that you use at home, will trip the electrics. We cannot increase the amperage supply to the park. The vast majority of customers appreciate this and use a low wattage kettle which may take an extra few minutes to boil. This choice enables the heating and/or other appliances to be kept on whilst preparing a hot drink!

Homeward bound

We had arranged a 3 night stop just outside Bakewell and at the last minute my partner managed to get another day off. We decided to stay elsewhere on the extra night and from the reviews we saw on the website, decided to book at Woodland. We arrived at approx 1pm and were greeted by Mark who showed us to our lovely pitch amongst the trees. My partner went to use the facilities and came back saying that they were outstanding with little touches like hand lotion in the washrooms which were spotless. Reception had local maps for sale and small homemade trinkets. We set up for our stopover and being a biker myself, set off on the short walk to Darley Moor race circuit and were treated to some excellent racing, cup of tea and an ice cream. We later returned back to Woodland for our evening meal and sat outside listening to the birds and watching the squirrels scampering around. We packed up next morning and left after talking to Mark and once again praising the site facilities. Definitely
