  • 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 A really lovely campsite in a great location with stunning views. Plenty of space with the 5 fields and so peaceful. Jade the owner was very helpful, and the fire-pit hire is great and the Honesty Box was a lovely touch. Toilets and washing up area always clean and tidy. Would not hesitate to recommend to those visits The Peaks.

Short walk to a pretty local pub which serves great food and drinks. Would be so cosy in the Autumn.

Liked Really friendly owners with a five field site that has plenty of decent pitches to choose from. Great pub literally five minutes down a path and lovely countryside all around.

Disliked Toilets are really clean but could benefit from more than four.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved the campsite! Quit and very clean!

Disliked We didn’t like that we had to leave before 11am. Can’t understand why the check out is that early as it is a campsite, apart from toilets they don’t have to clean as much. I would have enjoyed it more if the check out was after 12pm.
Also 20 pounds for a night without showers maybe was too much

Friendly, peaceful site that we will definitely return to.
