Liked: Lovely and quite even though it was quite busy, the owner was lovely too. The location is beautiful and the toilets kept clean. Like being able to hire a fire pit and you have to purchase the wood through them (Like most campsites) was allowed to use our own BBQ and coals. Even got phone signal up there which was a nice little touch

Liked: beautiful scenery, an icecream van turned up in the evening, decent toilets, friendly owner. dry logs and kindleing on sale (which most camp sites dont do)
Disliked: just one criticicm, a sink next to the water tap would have been nice to help with cleaning our pots. but that is a really small gripe for the price you pay. i will definitly be stopping again.

Liked: Super chilled out vibe and lovely views. I didn't catch the owner's name but he was really helpful, welcoming and friendly. We did a fantastic circular walk from the site which went along quiet country lanes to the river and to the Lathkill Hotel pub which is only a 15 minute walk away directly along the road if you don't fancy a big walk. The circular was just shy of 10km. The kids (age 11 and 13) loved it too.

Liked: Liked everything about this campsite. Proper gem of a site, a great wild camping experience. Toilet blocks were always clean, drinking water on site. Absolutely stunning views of the peaks, short drive to Bakewell. Managed by one of the friendliest and most helpful blokes you could hope to meet. Absolutely beautiful weekend
