  • 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 or trailer tent pitch (adults only)

Liked Lovely views and walks straight from the site. Good facilities, friendly owners and nice pizzas available if you don’t fancy cooking.

Disliked As the site is quite hilly and we needed to pitch on a flat area we were close to the road which runs through the site and people were zooming up and down at all hours. Would be nice if there were some speed bumps to slow people down a bit.

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

Liked Beautifully maintained site. Great facilities, modern and clean. Fantastic walks in all directions from the site so car was not used for the duration of our 4 night stay. Great pubs nearby at Chelmorton, Taddington and Monyash. Lovely little farm shop 10 minutes walk away. Oh….and the price was great too.

Disliked Nothing to not like

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.

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.
