Family-run campsite in a scenic Peak District location
Bakewell 15 minutes' drive; Chatsworth 20 minutes
Separate adults-only and family-friendly camping fields in White Peak

Burrow down surrounded by typical Derbyshire farmland at Knotlow Farm, a friendly family-run farm campsite in the scenic White Peak area of the Peak District National Park. That’s your first step… and the second? Perhaps renting a bicycle from Parsley Hay, 10 minutes’ drive away, to pedal out over Peak District landscapes, or maybe whisking your four-legged friends off on an outdoor adventure – after all, they’re welcome here too. This rural break is a top choice for a variety of travellers because of its separate adults-only and family-friendly pitching areas. The site has a washing-up area, toilets and hot showers (plus a family bathroom with changing area) too, making it easy to refresh yourself at the end of a long day trekking through the local countryside or exploring some of the area's top tourist attractions… There are many of those nearby, by the way. Set just outside the small hamlet of Flagg, Knotlow Farm is a quarter of an hour's drive from market towns like Bakewell and 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire must-sees like Chatsworth House. There is also a small on-site shop to bag essential groceries and sweets, but if you're not in the mood for cooking, grab one of the site’s home-made pizzas every evening. There are breakfasts available every morning and fire baskets can also be hired too (with logs for sale), just in case you're after that extra little bit of evening ambience…

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: What a lovely little site. We spoke to 2 different women at reception on different occasions and both were really welcoming and polite. The toilets and showers were clean and warm and hot water in both showers and pot wash. Nice little conveniences, some that are 24/7. The ground was really wet so they were keeping vehicles off which made sense. Nothing was a problem. Me and my little girl really enjoyed staying there even with the wettest and windiest of weather. The family shower room was a bonus. Showers were 20p for 2 mins so make sure you have change. We didn't mind that at all. Plenty of walks around from the site. No WiFi which doesn't bother me but signal was decent enough on O2. There is WiFi in the reception if you need it

Disliked: Not that this was a problem for us but a lot of the site is on slopes. There wasn't much flat ground. We were there at a quiet time so had a lovely flat spot but just something to be aware of at busy times if you're in a tent

Liked: Great, clean toilet/shower/washing up facilities. Never stood around waiting as there were many. Can also rent a fire pit/buy logs too. A lovely place to stay with lovely views.

Disliked: Wish there were more signs on site to tell you where toilets/reception were (only small criticism!). It's a large site and it was difficult finding places in the dark.

Local attractions

Those of you who want to glide past the sloping Peak District countryside can get started on the Tissington Trail (10 minutes’ drive). The old railway track is suited to wheels or walking boats, and the historic setting will get you ready for more historical sites… Those include Chatsworth House (20 minutes) and its peaceful grounds, excellent for a picnic and a walk, and the Nine Ladies stone circle (20 minutes). Legend has it each stone was once a lady punished for dancing on a Sunday. You may soon be dancing yourself - even on a Sunday - after a tour of Buxton (15 minutes) or Bakewell (15 minutes). Both characterful Peak District towns are packed with pubs, restaurants and cafés, and of course, in Bakewell, the speciality is Bakewell tarts. Down Chatsworth House way is Chesterfield (35 minutes) too – a destination for all things theatre, golfing and gourmet eats – but further on, it’s easy enough to get to Alton Towers (45 minutes) for a thrills-geared day.
