High Peak and Peak District win big at national camping awards

The Longnor camping and touring site at Wood Holiday Park has scooped the title for the second year in a row for best Adult Only Site in the East Midlands and was the runner up in the same category but on a national scale.

A spokesperson for Campsites.co.uk said: “With so many amazing places to choose from, picking the best wasn't easy, but all of this year’s winners made their mark by delivering unforgettable experiences time and time again.

“Exclusively for adults, Longnor Wood Holiday Park is set in the heart of the Peak District, surrounded by open countryside and walking routes.

With pitches for tents and tourers, as well as a range of ensuite glamping options, it's easy to see why this site was a big winner once again.

“Set in the heart of the Peak District with impressive facilities including a shop, gym and exclusive use sauna, this peaceful site is a great choice for an adult only countryside escape.”

The site has gained an impressive 4.88 star rating on their travel listing, with 96 per cent of people saying they would recommend the site.

Guests continue to leave huge praise with comments including "This really was the best campsite we have ever stayed at" and "The location and site is perfect".

And that's not all for Buxton winners, Hartington Hills, was named the runner up for Best Caravan Park in the East Midlands.

The spokesperson said: “Nestled between Hulme End and the picturesque village of Hartington, where the Staffordshire Moorlands meet the Derbyshire Dales, this site offers a rural retreat with breathtaking 360° panoramic views.

“The site itself features 15 electric tent pitches with a 10 amp electric hook up alongside 25 fully serviced touring pitches with a 16 amp electric hook up and a water tap.

“There is also a holiday cottage with a hot tub and two rental caravans onsite.”

Knotlow Farm and Pomeroy Caravan Park both took home runner up spots for Best Campsite in the East Midlands too.
