  • Peaceful site on a mown field overlooking pasture and woodland
  • On the edge of the Peak District; Chesterfield 20 minutes' drive
  • Spacious site with small number of pitches; local produce available
Unthank Lane Farm is a peaceful campsite set on a working farm in rural Derbyshire. Located right on the edge of the Peak District National Park and 20 minutes' drive from Sheffield or the historic town of Chesterfield, this spacious spot has a small number of pitches and lots of space between them. The main camping area is located in a mown farm field, where flat and level land makes pitching up easy. There is a hot shower, toilet and mains water supply here for guests, and some local produce may be available depending on when you're around. Around the farm, you're likely to see a good deal of agricultural activity, plus the resident cows with their calves. Getting around and about off-base is easy too, as the farm is well-connected to local footpaths and cycle routes in the national park. This peaceful site is in the small village of Holmesfield, the centre of which is just under two miles up the road. Head here to try out one (or all) of the local pubs, or to take the kids to blow off steam at the village play area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Dead easy to get to with sat nav, no hassle at all pitching up and plenty of space to play some games. Because there are almost no lights on the site the start gazing is amazing.

Disliked: Would have been helpful to have some lights in the toilets and shower. Also, wasn’t sure exactly where to go on arrival.

Phantom bell tent

Liked: We have really enjoyed our stay here, two adults one young child. We stayed in bell tent and it was lovely, fire pit/bbq provided to use with offer of wood available. Nice area and site and staff were friendly and helpful. The weather even held off for most of our stay too! Would definitely come again.
