Hi Folks

We are looking for a site nearish to North/East Manchester for a few days break in our caravan. We, in the next few days, both want to recuperate and be able to drive in to Manchester to visit our children and their families who live there.

We are desperate for a peaceful break as Cary and I have just come to the end of a harrowing year+ which has included huge problems for Cary at work. She finally lost an Employment Tribunal claim for unfair and unlawful unfair dismissal last Wednesday.

We HAVE done a LOT of research on UKC and other websites but many campsites in that area are not yet open after the winter

We've seen mixed reviews of Hollingworth Lake Caravan Park on another site and wondered if any CTers had up to date info and recommendations both for this site or others in the area.

We prefer would quiet, RURAL sites with lakes. hill, river views a bonus. We need EHU, water and CDP but no other facilities as we are happy to use the 'van's toilet facilities. We are not too keen on sites in built up areas.

Sorry but don't bother recommending Well-i-Hole campsite a superb location but let down by ABSOLUTELY APPALLING CDP!!!

Hi Tim

How close to N E Manchester do you want to be?
My brother lives in Marple Bridge and we often stay at the CC site Buxton, previously known as Grinlow. It is quiet.
Otherwise , a bit further away perhaps, south of Leeds, you would like this one, adults only:

Have a look at Todmorden Cricket Club site. We`ve stayed there a few times. It`s very close to the town centre which has a good market. There is a club house on site with a bar open every night. The site has EHU.

Try Burrs country park run by the CC.Very peaceful and within walking distance of bury if you want a metro into manchester.Driving into manchester is simple as bury is next to the motorway for manchester.

Hello Tim
We stayed at Buxton last year and did the Trafford Park (Legoland) we found that it only took about 50 minutes.
Maybe this is close enough, the site is relatively quite, handy for all peak district attractions.
We enjoyed the site and can recommend it
Another site we could recommend is Longnor wood again near Buxton, however this is an adults only site and not the cheapest
Hope this helps
