  • 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…

What customers say

This well-maintained campsite offers a peaceful countryside escape with stunning views. Guests consistently praise the clean and modern facilities, including toilets, showers, and washing-up areas. The friendly and helpful staff, along with convenient on-site amenities like a shop and pizza service, enhance the experience. While the site is largely quiet and well-organised, some visitors note that pitches can be hilly and that the single facilities block can get busy during peak times. The location is ideal for exploring the Peak District, with numerous walking routes accessible directly from the site.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (adults only)

Liked The facilities are fabulous, modern and well kept. The pitches are not allocated but you are reminded to leave a 6m distance. The hot food served was marvelous and the owner very welcoming and helpful.

Disliked Should I visit again, I know not to set up near the through traffic road. Not sure why people where still coming and going after midnight and at quite a speed. It would have been nice to see the owners out and about to chat to and then maybe they would have heard 2-3 of the dogs that was constantly yapping.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (adults only)

Liked Perfect location and great facilities. The lady at reception was so kind and even went out of her way to find me a few spare tent pegs when I was caught short! I would definitely stop here again and would recommend to anyone looking to explore the Peak District.

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

Liked Great site. Lovely clean facilities and the breakfast takeaway is great!

Disliked Its a shame the site is quite hilly. On friday I watched lots of new arrivals driving in and going straight up to the top field before coming back out looking a bit annoyed because it was full and setting up in the middle of the field where there's a dip and so a bit flatter. Everyone wants to camp on the edge and its just too much of a slope in some parts.

Liked Great stay as usual. Owners promptly sorted out an issue with a large group of teenagers who'd snuck onto the site as seperate parties.

Disliked Idiotic folk who have no respect for others, the level of entitlement is astounding but sadly not surprising these days.....

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

Liked Location great - near Buxton and Bakewell, but no road noise from the A515. Toilet and shower block clean and area well lit at night. Friendly welcome at reception. Can get breakfast in morning and pizza in evening, which we would have used if we were staying longer I think.

Disliked Unfortunately some of the family field is on a slope, but that can't always be helped in the Dales. There were only 4 ladies, 4 men's toilets and showers for the whole campsite. Also, bit of a trek at night from top family field with kids to the toilet.

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.
