Really well laid out site. Quite steep in places with rough ground but fine if you are mobile. Toilet and shower facilities are excellent, as is the wash up area with phone charging facilities and shared fridges. Fantastic base to explore the area, right next to the Thurscross reservoir.

It was mine and my partners first camping trip together with our dog and honestly couldn't have had a better experience! It was easy to get to and the toilets and showers were very well kept and clean:) The campsite is very well set up and not to noisy at any point in the day but a perfect balance. Would 100% return and couldn't recommend more!! Harry was also a lovely host who makes you feel nothing less then at home here!

Weekend Trip to Wolford Wood Camping & Cabins
This is a beautiful campsite in a stunning area of England and the hosts are so delightful. its all simple and safe and we had a really good time. A few points of clarity for us would have been, the purchases for site ( logs ) need to be a bit more structured on how much you can have per purchase, but we paid up for what we used in the end. Truly cannot compliment the hosts and site enough though, thank you for a wonderful stay.

I found the campsite easy to find, Margaret is lovely. I camped in the orchard with my tent. I enjoyed my stay and I was made to feel welcome. There is one toilet there near to reception and portable water. I would stay again and recommend it to, Thank you Margaret 😀

It was our first time camping with our new teardrop camper and we definitely chose the right place! David was so lovely and helped me to reverse it onto the pitch. Due to bad reviews I expected the facilities to be dirty but they were far from it! Very clean and plenty of toilet roll! As for the location, it’s amazing for people who love walking, we had a few hours walk down the canal and I definitely recommend walking across the road to the Riverside cafe for some lunch. Other than that there’s not much to do unless you want to drive into Stafford Centre but perfect for a quiet chilled couple of nights!

Really liked the spacious pitches and they all came with a firepit, a really nice touch. Lovely little walk to the local pub The Peacock which was a nice little spot for evening drinks. The only thing that let the site down was not having recycling bins available for waste.

We had a wonderful time at Eden’s Nook. Jayne helped us to feel so welcome and went above and beyond in the hot weather to make sure we had what we needed. The site is really clean and very peaceful. We saw lots of butterflies and birds. A gorgeous stay! Thank you.

The best campsites near Matlock with horseback riding guide

Where to go

Peak District National Park

Peak District National Park is just minutes away from the city of Matlock and hosts various trails to explore like Monsal Trail or Tissington Trail. Campers can hike to their heart's content to see stunning vistas around the park. Or, cycle, birdwatch, and explore the charming villages and historic sites like Peveril Castle throughout the area, as well. Then, settle in for the night within the park at a campsite among a grass field, a state-of-the-art camping pod, a pitch with reserved parking for motorhomes, or a wild camping spot.

Dovedale

Dovedale, a scenic limestone valley near Matlock, beckons campers with its natural beauty and tranquil ambiance. Hike along the meandering River Dove, crossing stepping stones and marvelling at limestone ravines and stunning rock formations like Thorpe Cloud and Thor's Cave. Nature lovers can spot diverse wildlife and enjoy views of the countryside, as well. While camping directly in Dovedale is not permitted, nearby private campsites offer tent pitches and caravan hookups for easy access to the valley.

The Heights of Abraham

A trip to Matlock is incomplete without visiting The Heights of Abraham. Right outside Peak District National Park and accessible by a scenic cable car ride or a pleasant hike, this dog-friendly attraction offers fantastic views of Derwent Valley and the surrounding countryside. Explore the show caverns and delve into the underground wonders of the area, learning about its geological history. Afterward, return to the campsite area at the base of Heights of Abraham. Here, campers can find facilities such as tent pitches, caravan hookups, and amenities like clean washrooms and picnic spots.

When to go

Matlock has a mild climate, making it an excellent destination for camping year-round. Summers offer pleasant temperatures ranging from 20–25°C. Spring and autumn bring milder weather, providing comfortable hiking conditions and the chance to witness the beauty of changing foliage. Winter temperatures typically range from 2–8°C, which is pleasurable for those who enjoy cooler seasons and the possibility of snow.
