  • Family-run campsite on a dairy farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Access to Lathkill Dale directly from the site
  • Small on-site shop; firepits for hire; animals on site
When you’re keen to get out exploring the Derbyshire Dales, you can’t get much closer to them than Haddon Grove Farm Campsite. This welcoming, family-run caravan and camping site has direct access to spectacular Lathkill Dale from the pitches. Located on a dog-friendly working dairy farm – you are welcome to meet the cows, horses and chickens – with views to the hills and dales of the Peak District National Park, the site was established in the early 1950s and has gone from strength to strength ever since. There are separate fields for family use – with play areas and rope swings – and others for group bookings, ensuring nobody gets disturbed on site. Facilities run to a shower block and wash room, and as barbecues are allowed by the pitches in the camping fields (source any foodie bits in the pretty town of Bakewell, 10 minutes’ drive), firepits can be hired on site. Logs are sold from the small on-site shop, which – more importantly for the kids – also stocks tasty ice cream from a local farm. If you're after something more substantial, head to Annie’s Kitchen (a food van that visits on some weekends) for breakfast sandwiches or evening food and get your mitts on the woodfired pizzas sold most weekends. Drinks are also sold at the bar (open on some weekends).

Fern L.

Non-electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Stunning views, clean toilets and showers. The water was hot in the showers. Great communication from owners. Easy and direct access to lathkill dale. Where we had our tentbox gave us a stunning view of the hike. Taxis available to Bakewell town. Pizza van was really delicious. Take options available if you don’t fancy pizza. Overall an amazing experience.

Non-electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We had a great stay at Haddon Grove Farm Campsite! Some of the pitches are perfectly positioned right on the edge of beautiful Lathkill Dale, with stunning views and easy access to some amazing walks. It’s peaceful, well-kept, and feels like a true countryside escape.
The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived.
If you’re looking for a relaxing break in the heart of the Peak District, this is the perfect spot.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Spacious clean pitches, very chilled and quiet. Bathrooms clean, owners were sound as a pound can’t fault them

Disliked the only bad thing I could say is the wood for the fire pit didn’t burn very well, would recommend bringing your own

Non-electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Pitches were spacious. Surrounded by beautiful views. Toilets and showers were lovely and clean.

Disliked The shower block was on the cold side (heating wasnt on) but I could have gone in at an unlucky time when it wasnt timed to be on.

Local attractions

Scenic walks are to be had along the namesake river in Lathkill Dale, where you can stride out towards Lathkill Head Cave (an hour and 20 minutes’ walk) or marvel at the clear springs at The Blue Waters near the peaceful village of Over Haddon (35 minutes). For a slightly longer ramble, Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (90 minutes) reward with prehistoric monuments and ancient burial mounds. Combine your stroll around the verdant grounds at Chatsworth House with a guided tour of the mansion’s ornate rooms packed with priceless antiques, or take in the Elizabethan Walled Gardens at Haddon Hall (both 20 minutes’ drive) after you’ve admired the tapestry collection and medieval chapel. For an insight into Peak District heritage, visit the bijou Eyam Museum (also 20 minutes) in the famed ‘plague village’ to learn the story of the Bubonic Plague of 1346–52, or have a wander around the deserted remains of Magpie Mine (five minutes’ drive), which was the last working lead mine in Derbyshire and closed in 1958.
