  • Simple, peaceful Peak District site a mile from Youlgreave
  • A 15-minute drive to Bakewell; 20 minutes to Chatsworth Estate
  • Member price shown; non-members select £5/night extra
Scenic views and sweet treats await for guests at Bakewell Camping and Caravanning Club Site, in a gorgeous spot about 15 minutes' drive from the attractive town itself, which is probably best known for the much-loved puddings and tarts it’s given its name to. It’s easy to buy either of those in local bakeries – and it’s equally easy to work up an appetite for them, given the number of excellent walking and cycling trails there are in the surrounding Peak District National Park. A mile from the village of Youlgreave, the site is also well placed for visits to places like Haddon Hall, Chatsworth House and the Heights of Abraham. The village, meanwhile, has a couple of pubs, a bakery and bus stops for jaunts by public transport. This site is managed by the Camping and Caravanning Club, with pitches available for both members and non-members. Members benefit from a discounted rate (shown here), so make sure you choose the correct membership option on your booking. The setup here is a simple one, with just a food shop, a play area and a chemical disposal point on the facilities front; please note there are no toilets or showers on site. That means you'll need to be self-sufficient with bathroom facilities – but you'll be rewarded with a truly peaceful atmosphere and a real sense of escape from modern life. Dogs are welcome, and there are designated dog walking trails around for those times when you're not ready for a longer hike.

Local attractions

This is the Peak District National Park, so there are heaps of options around for those who like hiking and cycling. Popular walking spots nearby include Lathkill Dale (20 minutes’ drive) and Dovedale (half an hour), or you might opt for quieter corners like Robin Hood's Stride (10 minutes) or Wolfscote Dale (25 minutes). Cyclists can head out on eight miles of traffic-free pathway on the Monsal Trail from Bakewell (15 minutes), while climbers head to Harboro Rocks (20 minutes) or Curbar Edge (half an hour). If you’d like to see some of the scenery at a more leisurely pace, how about a ride on the Peak Rail steam trains from Matlock (25 minutes) or the cable car at Heights of Abraham (half an hour)?
