Wild Camping at Barkerfields Farm

Liked Lovely site with great views.
The yurt was really clean and cosy.

Disliked Being close to the portable toilets.

The door was being banged all night.

From the manager: We’re pleased you found it clean and cosy. It’s the first year we’ve had this tent so we’ll take your comments on board and will relocate it further away from the toilets for our next season.

Liked The sight is really flat and we were able to chose where we pitched.
The absolute peace and tranquility and the stunning countryside views. The porta - loos were also really clean and smelt lovely :)
We spoke with the owner who said she kept a maximum of 20 pitches so the site never feels busy. There were only 10 other tents when we were there and only 4 others when we initially arrived :)

Disliked nothing

From the manager: Thank you, we do try our best to keep the toilets as clean and fresh smelling as possible and to make sure our guests have an enjoyable stay.

Thank you.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I’m sorry it was a bit too windy for you. We call ourselves a wild campsite because we are a pop up campsite and we are open to the elements. However because we don’t have any trees to help block the wind you do get 360 degree stunning views.

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.

Liked We liked it all. Owners were friendly and did their best to keep the site clean and tidy. The toilets were the nicest/cleanest portable ones we've used.
The field isn't over run, think there was around 10 campers and everyone got to pick their own spot. Lovely and relaxing, would definitely recommend.

From the manager: Thank you for your review we do try our best to keep the campsite and toilets as clean as possible.

Liked I stayed here with my preschool aged child for three nights. It is a quiet, basic camp, which is why I chose it. The owner left us to it but was easy to contact if necessary. The portaloos were extremely clean.

We would happily return, hopefully with better weather next time!

From the manager: Thank you, we pride ourselves on being a campsite that’s child friendly. We hope you’ll choose to stay here again.

Liked Easy, no frills affair if you’re after a place to pitch up for a night or 2.
Not far from Bakewell.

Disliked Could’ve done with a station to wash pots / pans if I was being overly critical

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we’re pleased you enjoyed your stay. We do provide a sink to wash pots etc, maybe you missed spotting it? It is cold water however but suitable for drinking too. Hope you’ll visit again next year.

Liked Perfect off grid escape with beautiful views. Bags of space to pitch up. You can use your car to unload and then park a few 100m away or so. Having minimal cars made it perfect for my two young sons to crawl and run about without worry.

Facilities are basic (as advertised) but kept very clean. The owner popped round everyone early evening to offer firewood for sale if needed. We didn’t take this up as the kids were exhausted from the days fun and already in bed but lots of people did take up the offer and it was nice to see everyone with their little campfires.

Disliked Nothing - just don’t expect phone signal or fancy facilities. This was a very peaceful off grid experience.

From the manager: We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay and like the feeling of the place. We do try to keep it basic as to keep the wild camping feel. We especially try to make it safe for children and pets to play as we are a family friendly campsite.
I’m pleased you found the facilities clean enough to comment on. We really do try to keep them clean and always stocked with loo roll.
Hope you’ll come again next year.

Liked Village and local pub are nice. Toilets are clean

Disliked Road to walk to village is unlit

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It’s a shame that’s you’ve marked us down for something we had no control over : The road.
The road is a country road which often means that they are unlit at night.
We are pleased you enjoyed the village once you got there though.
