Located over 1000 feet above sea level at the junction of Eaton, Alsop and Biggin Dales, Rivendale is ideal for mountain biking, rambling and walking from trails and cycle ways leading directly from our site. The Tissington Trail– just 100 metres from our site entrance provides access to the “Trails Triangle” formed with the High Peak Trail and cycle way around Carsington Reservoir. Footpaths from Rivendale lead into the dramatic limestone scenery
of the upper reaches of Dove Dale  – about 11/2 miles away.

Caravans and motorhomes benefit from a choice of pitch surfaces within a sheltered natural sun trap. All hard-standing or hard-standing with grass pitches are available, most having hedges at either side to provide greater privacy and shelter for wildlife. Caravan and motorhome pitches are located in the main pitching area on individual loop roads handy for the under-floor heated shower building, laundrette and children’s play area.

“Armchair” campers will prefer the grass pitches within the main pitching area particularly early season or in autumn due to their sheltered location, 16 amp power supplies and proximity to the underfloor-heated main amenity building. Most pitches are approximately 9 metres wide x 13m long – permitting most tents to be accommodated. Those with particularly large tents should make their needs known when booking so that one of the large pitches may be allocated

Traditional campers who do not need electricity and wish to pick a spot amongst an unspoilt meadow full of orchids and other wild flowers prefer our 10 acre camping field. This field is only open during the summer months and offers free hot showers and toilets in two portable units on the field. These are kept clean but are a simple no-frills facility.

Bio-degradeable chemical fluids ONLY in chemical toilets and BRING a TORCH.
