  • Simple site in the middle of the Peak District National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Bakewell, Castleton and Blue John Cavern
  • Scenic dog-friendly site with village pub five minutes' walk
When it comes to stays in the Peak District National Park, sometimes all you need is a simple and peaceful place to lay your head for the night, with basic facilities but very little to distract you from the gorgeous views all around. (Oh, and maybe a pub within walking distance…) If that's the sort of thing you seek, you’ll likely be most happy with your lot at South View Farm Camping. This is wild-ish camping (in that it’s got a toilet block and running water), spread over roughly four acres and on a very slight incline. As well as having fabulous views over to Bradwell Edge, there’s a gliding club close by, so you may spot some folk taking to the air. As befits a wild-style site, there's a laidback atmosphere in which you'll be allowed to bring a barbecue or light up a campfire, and dogs are welcome as long as they're kept under control and on a lead. There's a sink on site for topping up your drinking water, as well as washing-up sinks and rubbish bins. And that pub? It’s a mere five-minute walk along a footpath to the village of Little Hucklow and a pint of something local in the garden or by the fire (and a meal too, if you like). For more eating options, the local villages of Bradwell and Tideswell are about five minutes' drive away and have pubs, shops and takeaways. Working up an appetite for your dinner should be straightforward here, as you’ll be pretty much right in the centre of the national park with easy access to all the top hikes, activities and attractions.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely campsite, nice scenery and not too busy, felt very private. Toilets and sink area always clean and despite there being no showers, the toilet cubicles had sinks to have a wash so perfect for the 2 nights we were there. Lovely little walk to the local pub.

Disliked Nothing

Excellent stay, will definitely be returning.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We stayed for one night, and it was a great experience. I visited with my 7yo daughter, and the peaceful surroundings made it a perfect short getaway. The site was well kept, with clean toilets that were regularly checked, and I appreciated washing up facilities, small touches that made a big difference.

Jade, the owner, was fantastic-friendly, helpful, and welcoming. She checked in with us when we arrived and again before we left, which really added a personal touch.
