A beautiful rainbow (added by manager 03 Aug 2022)

Rural and peaceful Peak District farm with animals including llamas
A five-minute drive to cycling on the Monsal Trail and 15 to Bakewell
Tideswell, Castleton, Bamford and Chatsworth all within 20 minutes

Who needs to organise a hol all the way over in South America when you can linger beside the llamas at Five Acres Farm Campsite in Derbyshire? This park full of furry, friendly animals may not be within spitting distance of treks to Macchu Picchu, but it does have Peak District paths for hikes and cycle rides on the Monsal Trail starting from a five-minute drive away. The views are also nothing short of lush: the site is surrounded by wide open fields, and walks can be had without needing to get in the car towards the nearest settlement of Wardlow and up to Hay Cop (20 minutes on foot) for a look over the local landscape. If you’d rather dig into dessert than dawdle, the tarts and puddings of countrywide renown are at Bakewell, the only market town in the Peak District and a 15-minute drive from the site. Not too stuffed to think about stocking up on supplies after sampling the wares? Food stores are here too and other urban areas worth a wander for chocolate-box houses and cutesy craft shops include Tideswell, Castleton, Bamford and Chatsworth, all within 20 minutes. Plenty other activities can be had in these towns too: Tideswell’s got the impressive St John the Baptist Church to have a gander at; Castleton’s known for its caverns where the famed Blue John stone is mined, and Bamford has three different dams to trek around. Chatsworth, meanwhile, is home to swanky stately mansion Chatsworth House – yep, that one mentioned in Pride and Prejudice and regularly voted Britain's top country house.

Only showing reviews for the last 30 months.

Sunset and view of the other fields, it was like this in the morning as well.

All the tents are all so spread out giving us privacy and space.

Day one, when the site was almost empty!

Great !!

Liked: Great site, good location. We went to the Monsal Trail and cycled into Bakewell. Site was good, nice and flat. The toilets were clean, I liked that they had sanitary products in a basket in the ladies. The shower was nice and hot. Not sure if there was WiFi but I had signal anyway

Disliked: Although it was mega busy when we went, it would be good to have another sink to wash up in .

Liked: Came as a first camping trip with 2 adults and 2 kids and they loved it. Said it was alot better than they had originally thought what camping was going to be but made use of all the facilities which are all kept spotless. The surroundings with all the animals were great too. All the other campers were respectable and friendly and had a really good family atmosphere. Plenty of things to do within the area both walking and short drives. Will be coming to stay again :)

Liked: The pitches were nice and when buying kindling, we were given a block to pur our BBQ on because the legs weren’t quite long enough.

Disliked: The toilets and the showers are dreadful. From the outside they are all clad in timber and it looks fresh out of Center Parcs, but inside the toilets were flooded with water with sewage in, the shower water pressure was like a tap that hadn’t been turned off properley and went cold after a minute. No one on site all the time to talk to about them.

Local attractions

If guests do decide to give pedal pushing on the 8.5-mile and traffic-free Monsal Trail a go, they can use it to reach Bakewell, stopping at Monsal Head on their merry way for views of the River Wye and the Headstone Viaduct. For leisurely walks with typically stunning Peak District views, try Mam Tor or the Ladybower Reservoir (both around 20 minutes’ drive away); hardier hikers can take on an expedition to Kinder Scout, 40 minutes' drive away, to scale the national park’s highest point. Or, if you’d rather do your sightseeing underground, boat trips through Speedwell Cavern are 20 minutes away...
