Blackbrook Lodge Caravan & Campsite is a quiet 12 acre park in the Derbyshire Dales, set in a sheltered little valley of grounds, gardens, a lake and two carp ponds. You will find it near Turnditch and Belper, within easy reach of Carsington Water, Ashbourne and Matlock Bath, and on the doorstep of the Peak District National Park. The site mixes touring and seasonal pitches with glamping pods and lodges, so you can arrive with your own caravan or tent or book a pod overlooking the water. It suits campers who want calm countryside and space, and it is genuinely dog-friendly across the grounds. Facilities are simple but well kept: free hot showers, a bathroom, an on-site essentials shop, with a supermarket about ten minutes away and pubs within walking distance for food. Fishing on the stocked lake and ponds is a real draw, and several good pubs sit within a couple of miles. Blackbrook Lodge is open all year, check-in is from 1pm, and you can book pods and lodges online or enquire directly by phone.
