Lovely location but pick a quieter time to go.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Location was wonderful and the owner was great.
Disliked Unfortunately our stay was spoilt by other campers, a group of lads where up talking and laughing loudly until 3 in the morning. It reminded me of my reading festival days in the 90s.

Beautiful spot
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Amazing scenery, shady trees, friendly vibe
Disliked Could do with a few more loos as it was busy over the bank holiday leading to queues. A few noisy campers in the wee small hours made it harder to sleep.

What customers say
This is a popular "wild" campsite offering a relaxed, back-to-basics experience with stunning views. Guests praise the friendly owners, reasonable prices, and the ability to choose their own pitch. Facilities are described as basic but generally clean and adequate for short stays. Fire pits are available for hire. While many highlight the peace and quiet, some note occasional noise from other campers. The location is excellent for walks and exploring the Peak District, with easy access to local pubs and Bakewell. Minor points include some sloping pitches and the need to bring own toilet roll.

Nothing but the best few nights away
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Absolutely loved getting out in the wild with my husband and friends. The site was just beautiful with gorgeous scenery all around. It was so peaceful, and thank goodness the weather allowed us to just take it all in—we really didn't want to leave! It was effortless to get settled in, and we felt so well looked after by Neil, who even lent us a kettle when our friends accidentally took ours home with them. I loved the fact that there was no physical reception; it really fit the 'wild' campsite ethos to a T.
Disliked Nothing. Maybe more toilets but we definitely didnt struggle

Brilliant
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The campsite grounds and simplistically were the best features. A quiet spot. No bay markings added to the rustic nature.
Disliked A few more toilets would be great and maybe an expansion into a few showers
