Surrounded by spectacular scenery within the Peak District National Park, Rivendale offers superb facilities for tents, trailer tents, caravans and motorised caravans in an area offering a combination of outdoor activities, cultural and historic interest that is unequalled by any other region of the U.K. Rivendale has a choice of hard-standing, all-grass and 50/50 pitches with 16 amp power in a sheltered, sunny pitching area. The central heated amenity building offers free hot showers with under-floor heating.
For those who want a camping experience with a difference, we have a number of timber camping pods and yurts, as well as a larger canvas yurt. All our camping pods and yurts have either a wood burning stove or electric heater, with access to our amenity building.
The club building offers a bar and restaurant. Walkers and cyclists are spoilt for choice with footpaths leading DIRECT FROM RIVENDALE into Dove Dale, Eaton Dale, Biggin Dale and on to the Tissington and High peak Trails. Stately homes such as Chatsworth, Tissington and Haddon are within easy reach as are Alton Towers and Carsington Reservoir.

Reviews of Rivendale Caravan Park
Fantastic holiday. The Pod was lovely and cosy, the staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. There is a lovely friendly atmosphere on the site, very relaxed, and the fire in the very comfortable bar, just made it perfect. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you!
Rivendale campsite is a fantastic place to stay .It is well cared for and the wardens are friendly and very helpful.This site has got the David Bellamy gold award for the last ten years and this is the reason that the hedges and grass is not cut until the wild flowers and hedges have stopped flowering.I believe that by leaving the site in a wilder state it allows more wild life to be seen.We will continue to go to this site on a regular basis as everything it advertises is there.

just had a fab weekend break, four families our pitches were brill,we could camp close to each other and set up our kitchen/gazebo area. Staff lovely, not intrusive, facilites clean and good! bar great beer at a great price, rare these days! would recommend to anyone, would certainly go again!!
Lovely site, stunning scenery, showers and toilets spotless, very friendly helpful staff, hired the hot tub for the night, didn't know quite what to expect but it was wonderful and just what we needed after being out walking for 8 hours!!!! will definitely be visiting again.
Rivendale:-
We enjoyed our stay so much last year, we're leaving in a couple of days for another week there!
Personally, I couldn't fault the shower/toilets, clean, dry and odour free! Also, the security code on the door was an added bonus, meaning that only those 'in the know' had access.
The pitch sizes were great, ample room for a family tent and still plenty of space. I've been to many other sites where the pitches were so crammed in, it felt like I hadn't left London - but not so with Rivendale.
My recommendation? Go, you'll love it!

Decided to spend my birthday weekend at Rivendale with my boyfriend having never been before.
Absolutely amazing, and wonderful scenery.
The bar was excellent value for money. I found none of the issues with the toilets, rubbish, or shop mentioned by a previous reviewer. Toilets were cleaned regularly, no rubbish on site, and shop full.
The staff were excellent, full of local knowledge and even wished me happy birthday when I visited the shop towards the end of our stay. Brilliant time, thanks!

On the website it seemed like a well cared for site with lots of regulations and standards but we were very dissapointed throughout our stay.
1.Dirty toilets with no toilet roll in certain toilet cubicles,filthy shower curtain,toilet roll all over the floor, bins over flowing, hairs over the sinks and the showers pulsating hot and cold water out.
2.The site itself seemed very uncared for.Again bins were overflowing and the hedges and shrubs were not cut and the lawns not edged.
3.We felt the need of a warden would have been benefical when children were running around throwing plastic bags filled with water in the evening.
4.We were looking foward to a bbq when we arrived and we were going to buy some fresh, local meat from the shop which was advertised on the website.They didn't have any!The next day they did but there were frozen sausages with 50% pork.
There were a few other issues but I don't want to go on,we won't be returning but I hope these issues are resolved so others are not as dissopointed as we were.
Just returned from a great week at Rivendale. Very clean site with excellent shower/toilet blocks. Helpful staff and would recommend friends to this site. They even held a camping wedding whilst we were there. Thank you all.
