  • Spacious pitches on a family-run organic farm in the Peak District
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of Carsington Water, Ashbourne and Dovedale
  • Sauna and farm produce for an additional fee; firepits provided
If stunning views are a deal-maker when it comes to choosing a holiday, New House Organic Farm on the edge of the Peak District National Park might well be the place for you. It’s also a great spot if you like your hot and cold therapy, as it's home to Peak Saunas, a wild sauna and cold plunge experience (available for an additional fee). A five-minute drive from the village of Kniveton, this back-to-basics site is on a 43-acre smallholding with free-range cattle, sheep and other assorted farm animals, plus a fruit orchard. The large, spacious pitches are placed in fields with loads of space, making it a great spot for family gatherings and for children to play. The site also includes wildflower meadows, woodland and hedgerows, and you don’t have to venture too far to come across a whole lot of wildlife. Composting toilets, a washing-up area and drinking water taps are the only luxuries – that’s if you don’t take into account the views of the gentle Derbyshire hills and the all-encompassing feeling of quiet (interrupted maybe by the odd cow lowing). Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but please do keep them on a lead at all times due to the free-range livestock. Ready for a hike in the Peak District? You can start easy, with Thorpe Cloud (20 minutes’ drive), whose silhouette is visible from the site; alternatively, head to Chee Dale (40 minutes’ drive), a gorge carved by the River Wye, or up Baslow Edge (45 minutes). Wherever you go, chances are you’ll have built up quite an appetite come the evening. So borrow a handmade firepit for free and hit the farm shop to stock up on organic meat and eggs or wood for the fire. If you don’t fancy cooking, walk 20 minutes to the local pub for homemade cider or food or you can take a short drive in pretty much any direction to reach a traditional pub that will serve more food along with a range of brews.

What customers say

This 'back to basics' farm campsite offers a relaxed atmosphere with stunning views and spacious pitches. Guests praise the friendly owners, farm shop produce, and the bonus of free fire pits. Composting toilets are generally well-maintained, though some visitors noted a lack of showers. While most experiences are positive, occasional issues with noise from large groups and dog mess have been reported, with managers addressing these concerns.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very calm relaxed atmosphere. Lovely views. Farm shop food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Access to free fire pit was a nice bonus and wood purchased from site was a good quantity for money and the option to burn your own you brought with you was a nice option.

Robert B. 1 review

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly & helpful owners. Very spacious fields to pitch up, plenty of room between campers. Lovely views, very peaceful & quiet - a lovely change from most crowded sites. Very relaxed and easy going.
Basic toilet facilities that did the job, but also enjoyable and different.
Free fire pits provided, a large bag of firewood cost £8 and the very tasty lamb burgers only £3 - all supplied by the farm owners, perfect.
Simple camping, back to basics and so much better for it - excellent site weĺl worth the cost (£12 per night) but more so the pleasure and experience. Can't fault this place wish more campsites were like this in the UK.

Disliked Nothing really

Local attractions

For those who are into birdwatching, Carsington Water (five minutes’ drive) has plenty of hides from where you can spy on kingfishers, grebes and buzzards. The reservoir has plenty more for outdoor enthusiasts, from canoeing and paddleboarding to trout fishing, not to mention a cycling route around the water. If the kids have joined you on hilly hikes without moaning (too much), reward them with a trip to Alton Towers (half an hour), where they can let rip on thrilling rides like rollercoasters and drop towers. There’s also a section for younger children, CBeebies Land, with adventure playgrounds and shows starring beloved characters like the Teletubbies. For something more relaxing, head to Crich Tramway Village (25 minutes), where you can ride vintage trams through a recreated period street lined with traditional and historic buildings, or stroll along the Woodland Walk taking in far-reaching views of the Derwent Valley.
