Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Fantastic views, plenty of space in field, Ed the farmer friendly and helpful and knowledgeable of the area. The site is peaceful and ideally located for some lovely walks or short drives (2-5 miles) to beauty spots and local villages. Shower and toilet blocks clean, fire pits and wood available. Rustic camping and great to get back to basics. Sat nav doesn’t quite recognise location so just call the number on the booking and he’ll set you straight or ask in the pub(red lion) at the bottom of the road

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Peaceful farm with the simple things required and needed for a short/medium stay, it was my sons first proper camping night out and he loved the fact we could get a small fire pit and wood which allowed us to have toasted marshmallows, farmer is very polite and helps with whatever you need. We will be coming back next spring.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Owner was very welcoming and talked us through the site and where to pitch. The views are absolutely stunning. We brought our own but you could hire a fire pit and buy wood on site. 5G which is a nice bonus. Great for a night and close proximity to Dovedale/Ashbourne.
Disliked: As others have noted, toilets on a busy weekend needed an extra clean and soap topping up. To be expected as it’s a hillside campsite, but some of the pitches are a little sloped. Fine for a night and worth it for the insane views but be prepared! Worth arriving earlier in the afternoon to ensure a decent pitch as it’s pick your own.

Non-electric mixed campervan pitch
Liked: Great scenery / views of the surrounding countryside. Lots of public footpaths around, one from the site to the Red Lion in Kniveton. Friendly farmer ( owner) Unfortunately just not for us.
Disliked: Facilities not for us, and price steep for toilet, washing facilities! 2 old toilets in tatty portacabin for ladies. 2 showers, hot water but not enough when site is busy. Mens 4 x portaloos- smelly, dirty nappy in one. Outside cold water sink for pots Drive down not well maintained.

Liked: Relaxed nature. Fire pit. We were also lent a big outdoor connect 4 game and a trivet for the fire. They were very flexible on how we laid out our 3 tents. We were a small group of 4 ladies and 1 child. Showers were hot and powerful. Good suggestions on local area
Disliked: Very windy exposed. Still sloping pitches despite the site being tiered into the hillside.
