A Peak District glamping site has been crowned the UK’s best adult-only site in the 2023 Camping and Glamping Awards.
The competition, which is run by Campsites.co.uk, noted Longnor Wood Holiday Park’s pristine facilities, quiet environment and great location.
Offering easy access to the town of Buxton, the site also boasts the beauty of the Peak District on its doorstep.
Sam Kitchen, co-manager of Longnor Wood, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won this award. Being a site that is exclusively for adults, we aim to create a destination where people can completely relax and get away from it all.
“Our focus is on providing the best possible experience for our guests through improving our already excellent facilities, offering a quality personal service and going above and beyond for our guests.
“Many of our guests return year after year because they love the site and its location so much.”
Despite being an adult-only site, Longnor Wood does welcome dogs, making it a great spot to enjoy with a four-legged friend.
Visitors can choose from a touring pitch for their caravan or motorhome; an en suite glamping pod; luxury lodge or caravan holiday homes with outdoor hot tubs.
Longnor Wood boasts 11 spacious all-weather hardstanding leisure vehicle pitches, complete with 10 amp electric hook-up, as well as nine fully-serviced all weather touring pitches for campervans, caravans or motorhomes.
In addition, there are 23 seasonal hardstanding touring pitches available, 18 of which are fully serviced.
The annual Campsites.co.uk awards aim to identify the best campsites, glamping spots and touring sites across the country.
They celebrate those that have demonstrated exceptional services for camping and caravanning aficionados throughout the year.
Martin Smith, founder of Campsites.co.uk, said: “Competition was extremely tight this year, but Longnor Wood Holiday Park really has gone above and beyond to create the ultimate stay, making it a worthy winner of our best adult-only site in the UK.
“Its great location combined with excellent amenities, friendly customer service and thoughtful touches, such as books and games to borrow, are what help to set it apart from the rest.”
