Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: The owner was very friendly, the grass area was a large pitch so plenty of space despite there being a lot of people! The location is close to Bakewell and other great walking areas

Disliked: The toilets to be a bit more private, or provide wipes for the toilets

Matthew W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Monday night in early Sept. It was very quiet at the site. Great-spot for exploring Latkill Dale which was definitely worth exploring. Literally turn up and park/ pitch. Emplacements not marked out but loads of space. Toilets worked and were acceptably clean. There was 4G reception which isnt always the case in Peak District On a slight slope although i found almost level spot for camper van

Disliked: £12 not expensive but not especially cheap given it is a field. There is a derelict building and some ?abandoned cars at edge of site adding to the rural feel

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: The campsite was exactly what we expected for the price. It was a lovely location and is easy to reach Bakewell. We stayed in a car tent and it was an ideal pitch. It was quiet and great for walking. Plus dog friendly.

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Being charged for a fire pit I found rusted in a bush. Being bothered by drunks and the partying keeping us awake most of the night. The owner asking my 13 year old questions while I was at the toilet and the ground conditions were terrible.

Local attractions

A Peak District break should always include a visit to Chatsworth House (20 minutes’ drive). This country house has over 25 rooms, including a painted hall and sculpture room, and the grounds are just as splendid – here you can take the kids to meet the pygmy goats in the farmyard, and play at the adventure playground, eat according to the season at the estate’s restaurants or take a buggy tour. Haddon Hall (15 minutes) is another nearby historic house, with a medieval park that can be explored on guided tours. And there’s Matlock (20 minutes) close by too – it was once an ancient spa town and now a gateway for bike rides, hikes and the lot. If staying active is high on your priorities, a visit to the Hathersage Swimming Pool (25 minutes) is the place to practise your backstroke under the open sky. You’re bound to get in some steps around Alton Towers (40 minutes) too, running between rides. Dovedale (30 minutes), of course, is a place for more traditional hikes – the valley is almost three miles long, and there are stepping stones to cross on your way around this scenic stretch of land.
