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.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Excellent location to get away and submerge yourself in nature.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Absolutely loved this site, toilets , water and chemical waste are the only services provided.
The scenery surrounded it is stunning as our the walks.
Friendly owner that visits you on your first night.
You can arrive and choose your pitch. We will definitely return.
Bring your own loo roll and if you’re in a van you’ll need chocks as the grass pitches are not level.

Peaceful site in a fab location.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Quiet area for a campsite. Lovely views of the country.. also found a fab walk down to the Lathkill valley along the River Lathkill (found the circular on the app All Trails).
Toilets and winks were clean (don't forget to bring your own toilet roll). Nice place to view the sunrise too.
Disliked Most of the site is a bit sloped, some areas more than others. But did find a flatter section near the bottom.
The large bin at the entrance was very full so had to leave it on the floor next to the bin.
