Beth B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What is not to love here? First of all Ed the farmer, what a guy! Honestly fantastic host, funny, helpful and knowledgeable (just not at shearing sheep apparently). Top guy, we have 0 complaints. He was doing a check in when we were being harrassed by some wasps and he said “give me three minutes” and he came back with incense sticks to deter them. Absolute legend, they worked!

Enough about Ed because that will go to his head.

This place offers spectacular views from any pitch site, the layout makes it feel private instead of those square fields where you face your neighbours. The amenities are spot on! For the price you get actual toilets, wash room and showers. All clean and well lit at night. You can buy wood and a log burner for £12, literally excellent value for money.

Back to Ed a second too, he came round and gave us this thing to put in the fire that makes it change colour. Honestly topped the night off perfectly, silent rolling hills. (Would recommend the naughty corner - ask Ed)

I cannot fault one thing here, I strongly recommend. I usually camp solo too and I’d feel so comfortable to do that here. I also recommend pitching in the “naughty corner” if it’s available. The views are just unreal for an hour away from town.

Best campsite I’ve been on so far, see you again soon for the cuppa Ed! Thank you x

Disliked Nothing, trip was just what was needed, will be back! (That’s not a threat it’s a promise)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The views from the campsite were absolutely gorgeous. Ed was so helpful and really attentive, ensuring that we had the best camping experience. The plots were very well sized and the facilities were clean and plentiful. We hired a fire pit which came with a generous helping of logs and firelighters and the location was exceptional for local amenities in Ashbourne and Kniveton. We will definitely be visiting in the future.

Local attractions

Historic towns? Terrific trails? Prehistoric sites? Absolutely. For the former, work a visit to the market town of Ashbourne (10 minutes’ drive) or the spa village of Matlock Bath (20 minutes) into your itinerary. For the latter, Hob Hurst's House (40 minutes) is a prehistoric burial mound – and just another addition to a long list of historical spots across the Peak District, including the Nine Ladies Stone Circle (half an hour), Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (25 minutes), Tissington Hall (15 minutes), Kedleston Hall (25 minutes) and the Crich Tramway Village (half an hour). When it comes to trails, there’s a very splendid selection about. Perhaps a 13-mile cycle on the Tissington Trail (10 minutes) beginning in Ashbourne? The limestone gorge and country park at the Heights of Abraham (20 minutes)? The Dovedale (25 minutes) river walk to the Stepping Stones and the Thorpe Cloud? For those who like a paddle or a cycle, Carsington Water (15 minutes) is an attractive candidate. Family-friendly days are bound to be packed with activities there, and the same goes for the family-friendly theme park Gulliver's Kingdom (20 minutes).
