Bertie bell tent

Liked Great wild campsite in a beautiful area. It was very quiet when we stayed but probably due to the weather not being great. We stayed in the Bertie Bell tent which was perfect for our needs. Toilets were clean and there’s a sink for washing up etc. Monyash is about a mile away - there’s a good pub serving traditional food - we ate and drank there. Good walks in Lathkill Dale.

Disliked Not a negative but… It’s open to the elements so be prepared.

What customers say

This is a basic, peaceful campsite in a beautiful Peak District location, praised for its stunning views and quiet atmosphere. Reviewers appreciated the spacious field, allowing for flexible pitching and a "wild camping" feel, with many enjoying the option of campfires. Owners are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Facilities, including portaloos and a sink, are generally reported as clean, although some guests noted issues with toilet cleanliness or the site's exposure to the elements. Proximity to Bakewell and local walks is a key highlight.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked In an ideal location as it’s only 10 minutes from Bakewell and just a bit further from many scenic walks. Lovely nearby small villages. The site was basic but exactly what we were looking for with basic facilities (what you would expect with “wild camping”). I would return again or recommend anyone to stay here as we had no problems as two 17 year olds.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Easy to find.
Lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
Owners are very friendly, they come and greet you as soon as they can when you arrive and deal with anything issues that may arise promptly.
The facilities are cleaned and looked after regularly.
Its close to alot of good peak district stops such as Bakewell, Ashton on Water, Buxton etc.
Its wild camping exactly as described, would happily return.

Liked Fantastic views, beautiful location. Amazing owners with the most knowledgable children. Thank you for making our visit with a trip to see the cows. Had everything we needed for a lovely weekend reset.

Local attractions

If you feel like calling into the animal world, Peak Wildlife Park (half an hour's drive) has lemurs, penguins and wallabies. As you’d expect, there’s also plenty of wildlife around the national park and inside the National Trust’s Lyme Park (45 minutes). Down for some rock climbing? Hope Valley Garden Centre’s climbing wall (25 minutes) or The Foundry Climbing Centre (45 minutes) will help you get in some practice. For challenging outdoor walls, Hathersage (25 minutes) is a good spot. Meanwhile, for a traffic-free bike trail through tunnels and limestone valleys, make for the Monsal Trail (10 minutes). Down into the pits… Peak Cavern (35 minutes) has a natural amphitheatre, while Speedwell Cavern (half an hour) has a boat trip into the Bottomless Pit. The Treak Cliff Cavern (35 minutes) is home to the Blue John stone, while the Heights of Abraham (half an hour) has more caverns surrounded by woodlands and gorges (plus cable cars and a playground). And if the kids are looking for a thrill, Alton Towers (35 minutes) and Gulliver’s Kingdom (25 minutes) theme parks are both within easy reach.
