Camping near a canal in Derbyshire - is there...

[rubblequeen]

Hi, want to meet up with my sisters in the summer and they have camper vans (caravanettes if I want to upset them) do you know if there are any canalside campsites in Derbyshire please?

Thanks

Put the nearest town/village into here and it should bring up some results:

Shardlow marina have caravan hook up- but as its on the Trent side, they don't have boat visitor moorings, but you can moor on the canal in the village- 5minutes walk from the marina.

Have a look through the 'campsites' sticky at the top of the page.

The Bubble Inn at Stenson have a small camp site.

It's in a nice spot with a nice pub and a nice cafe adjacent along with Stenson Deep lock. A good place to do some gongoozling.

 

The site however only has one review on that link and it's not brilliant.

It might be OK if they are fully self sufficient toilet/shower wise and don't depend on 'on site' facilities (we rarely did)

If they are in caravanetts there is overnight parking at Whaley Bridge (with services) and maybe at Bugsworth Basin.

Many thanks for all your replies - we start our canal trip planning next week.

There is no official caravanette camping at either location but I would think the chances of being "moved on" are fairly slim.
