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.

Overall a extremely clean site,the wash up area is amazing everything provided, the toilets/showers are spotless,dave & Ruth are very helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend for a peaceful break.
Very easy to find off the main Ashbourne road. Even though the caravan park was fully booked it was really peaceful and relaxing. The woodland made a lovely natural shelter. The owners, Ruth and Dave were so friendly and helpful. The showers, toilets and washing up area was spotless. We had a look round Ashbourne especially the charity shops and then went back to the town and enjoyed a lovely meal at a tapas bar in the evening. Definitely be back soon
We stayed at the woodland caravan park on August 2025, it is a lovely site and the facilities were immaculate, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, we will definitely be returning
We returned to Woodlands Caravan Park after 7 years and must say we weren’t disappointed. The new hosts Ruth and David were absolutely lovely, welcoming and friendly. They really do take a pride in their campsite. We arrived for a 4 night stay and it was quite hot but the shade of the trees gave us a welcome respite from the heat. The campsite is lovely and peaceful, can’t fault the location and it’s great as a base to go exploring the area and also not too far away from the pretty town of Ashbourne where there is a great choice of pubs, cafes and restaurants. There was a weekly motorbike meet up at Darley Moor Race Track but Ruth & David advised us there would be some noise from this, which was really helpful but it didn’t impact on our stay at all. Overall this is a brilliant campsite, the showers and toilets are immaculate and the grounds are very well maintained. We’ll definitely be back- certainly won’t be waiting another 7 years to visit that’s for sure. Thanks for a great stay.
This was our 2nd visit to this campsite and this visit was just as good as the last the site is immaculate the showers and toilets are spotless didn’t have to wait for a shower even though the site was full the owners are probably the friendliest owners I have met at a campsite nothing is too much trouble and the dog walk is on another level enclosed in the wood with a little sign to let other dog walkers know if you’ve got a nervous pooch absolutely brilliant idea we will without a shadow of a doubt be returning
This was our first trip to an Independent site after a year of caravanning and sticking with the usual club sites. We have to say, what a gem we found. From the wonderfully warm welcome from Dave and Ruth, through to the secluded nature of the pitches and the spotless facilities, there is nothing to fault with this park. Dave and Ruth clearly take a huge pride in delivering a top class experience to their guests and they were always busy ensuring they did just that. The toilets and showers were always fresh and sparkling, with hygiene products provided too, and the other communal spaces were always gleaming as if they had never been used. The dog walking area is superb and the overall sense of forest living was very relaxing indeed. The location itself provides a superb jumping off point for exploring the outstanding local scenery and locations and the nearby village of Ashbourne has everything you could need to keep topped up with supplies, including an M&S foodhall.
Welcoming owners who were extremely helpful, immaculate facilities and site, best dog walk ever! Quiet country lane for local walking. Would definitely visit again.
Very friendly staff. The toilet block was kept very clean with additional touches like hand sanitiser. The washing up area had overhead covering with washing up liquid, sponges and scrubbers all being provided. Nice dog walk.
A lovely peaceful site, the staff were so friendly and helpful and we particularly enjoyed our dog being able to have a good run in the dog area. Will definitely be going back for some more peace and tranquility in the loveliest of settings.
This was a wonderful site where everything had been thought about and the owners go above and beyond to make sure that everyone has a comfortable stay
