  • Back to basics Peak District site with a view over Miller's Dale
  • A mile to the Monsal Trail; 15 minutes' drive to Buxton and Bakewell
  • Farm shop and café on site; firepits available to hire
Bunk up in a barn at Beltonville Farm for a brill time in the White Peak part of the Peak District – this site’s just a mile from the Monsal Trail and therefore splendidly placed for a strolling, cycling or horse-riding holiday in Derbyshire. When you’re not tottering along this disused railway line transformed into a pretty path, soak up the views over Miller’s Dale; the park is in an elevated position looking out across this Site of Special Scientific Interest’s rock-studded landscape. Chillout sessions are of course boosted by having nosh to chomp on, so drop by the farm shop on site before dusk to pick up bits and bobs such as local veg. The site also has its own café, the Cow Shed Café, which is open every day from 9am. Rather a meander followed by a meal out? Map your way to one of several local pubs within a three-mile radius instead for supper. This is a back to basics site but it's well maintained and stretches to such luxuries as toilets and coin-operated showers for guests’ use (the showers require £1 coins, so please bring them with you). There's also a washing-up area and facilities for people with disabilities. Wood can be purchased at the park for firepits; you can also hire firepits on site (subject to availability).

What customers say

This campsite boasts stunning views and a friendly atmosphere, with many praising the helpful staff and excellent on-site cafe and farm shop. Facilities are generally clean, though some report them as basic or in need of updating. The location is ideal for walkers and cyclists, with the Monsal Trail nearby. While many enjoy the entertainment and spacious pitches, some guests note issues with noise and overcrowding, particularly during peak times and events. Showers are coin-operated.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Beautiful fields, views, great location, farm shop and restaurant.
Friendly staff.
Great for getting to monsal trail or tideswell or Buxton. Great, relaxed atmosphere, plenty of space around tents/vans

Disliked 4 showers nowhere near enough for 3 fields of campers. Queues longer than at 2 festivals we've been to the past month. 40 minutes at busiest. Queues observed at 4, 5, 6, 7, 8pm not just standard morning peak.
5 female toilets which often had queues- seemed as shower queue was so large people were washing causing larger queues, so had to take daughter into mens.
Sort this out and we'd be back without hesitation

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Really good shop/restaurant on site, made it very convenient for food. Showers were nice, good access to a walk. Staff very nice.

Disliked Didn't feel they could handle how many pitches they had booked, only 4 female toilets and 4 showers which you had to pay for (£1 for 4 minutes) which felt abit cheeky as it wasnt the cheapest site. No structure of where to pitch up either so it was really crowded, youd wake up and there would be somone right in front of you. People playing music past 10:30 and loud. Limited food service on Sunday too which seemed to be a result of just too many people.

Liked Great site and great value in a good location to explore some lovely parts of the peak district, bakewell and buxton within 15 minutes, nice open spaces to pitch up on and great staff serving lovely food, toilets and showers cleaned regularly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and that was with a fire pit ban in place, will be returning definatly.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked The check in process is super easy and the staff we super friendly.

Disliked Not enough toilet and shower facilities for the volume of people staying on site. I imagine it’s fine if it’s not in peak times but Thursday and Friday was super busy and the wait for a toilet was so long which isn’t great when you are busting!
We also had a huge issue with people being loud and shouty with music blaring until midnight, when the rules are strictly no music and low noise level after 10.30pm. This is not monitored or enforced. Many cohorts were just way too loud and totally disrespectful. Never again.

Local attractions

Squidged between Bakewell and Buxton (15 minutes’ drive from either), Beltonville has a nifty location near two of Derbyshire’s most popular towns. Make a foray to the former for River Wye wanders, passing by the medieval arched stone bridge, and the latter to see around some stunning architecture. Highlights on the heritage trail around Buxton Spa include the Georgian-era crescent, the Roman baths and the cupola-topped Devonshire Dome; for older buildings, the village of Castleton (25 minutes), lying in the lee of Mam Tor, has the Norman ruins of Peveril Castle to peer at. This spot’s also the gateway to the Blue John caves, the only places on the planet where the semi-precious Blue John stone can be found. Cast your eye over the largest intact piece ever mined on display at Treak Cliff Cavern (25 minutes), which also has some rather sizable stalactites and stalagmites for geologist types to gaze lovingly upon. Those aiming to give their walking boots a good workout here have plenty of choice: it's well located not just for the Monsal Trail and Miller's Dale but also Chee Dale, Tideswell Dale and Winnats Pass.
