Peaceful family-friendly Peak District site next door to a farm
A 15-minute drive from Castleton and 20 minutes from Bakewell
Seating area with a woodburning stove; direct access to scenic walks

Welcome to the Peak District: pretty hikes, miles of countryside, historic properties and country lanes. Down one of those country lanes is Sweet Knoll Camping, a rather lovely (and very much peaceful) place to stay next door to a pretty Peak District farm. Spectacular views? You bet. This central part of the Peak District is particularly gorgeous, and the pitches have views of sloping green fields. A launch pad for lovely hikes? Indeed. There are a variety of walks guests can take directly from the site. If that’s not satisfying enough already, the local village pub (including a shop) is only a 15-minute walk away and can be added as a pitstop for pints or local grub. The village also has a kids' playground. The family-run site has a Belfast sink where guests can set about washing up their dishes. In the same washing-up area, there’s seating next to a woodburning stove. There are also a couple of toilets and showers on site. Barbecues are permitted at Sweet Knoll Camping should guests fancy grilling their own dinner rather than tracking down food in the local towns or villages, like Bakewell (20 minutes’ drive) and Castleton (15 minutes). The closest shops are a 10-minute drive away, or there’s a farm shop a five-minute drive away.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: This was my second time here. And we knew we just had to come back!
The surroundings and views really are beautiful and peaceful to watch a sunrise or sunset and to switch off from the busy-ness of life.
The site is always friendly and a happy place to be.
Incredibly helpful staff and a variety of options available. Including showers which have been added since our last trip.

Cannot wait to come back!

Disliked: Couldn’t get the water to even a warm temperature to wash pots and pans. Was very cold. Didn’t ruin experience though!

Site was in a great spot, well maintained and was everything we needed

Local attractions

Castleton (15 minutes’ drive) village is a very cute local spot. Its show caverns (including Peak Cavern, Treak Cliff Cavern and Blue John Cavern) have contributed to its fame, but the stone houses and views of Hope Valley and the High Peak are also ravishing. A walk up Mam Tor (15 minutes) is likely to please outdoorsy types. The five-mile route passes through heather moors on Kinder Scout and a reservoir before reaching the 517-metre hilltop in the High Peak. After your climb, you might decide that the Bakewell tarts and puddings of Bakewell (20 minutes) are the next natural course of action. The market town also has access to the Monsal Trail, a cycling route through old railway tunnels. Tuck into your sweet treats on the riverfront, a popular spot with other consumers of the famous tarts. There are some splendid walks around Chatsworth House (half an hour) should you crave more outdoorsy days out. Royal family members live in the house, so interested folks can book a tour to see some of the historic rooms (and the surrounding 105-acre garden and farmyard if they so wish).
