Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful views across the hills and a nice quiet site. Even when it was busy with DofE groups it was still surprisingly quiet and peaceful.

Disliked The showers could use a little attention, nice and hot but quite a bit of mould on the ceilings and walls

What customers say

This campsite boasts stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, with many praising its clean facilities and friendly owners. The animals on-site are a hit with guests. While most find it ideal for hiking and relaxation, some visitors note potential for noise during busy periods and occasional queues for the limited shower facilities. Fire pits and a nearby pub are welcome additions.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked We love it here. The location is beautiful as are the sunsets. We enjoy seeing the donkeys and local farm animals. There are great walks near by. The owner is really friendly and keeps the facilities very clean at all times. We like a fire pit and having our 3 dogs with us.

Disliked weekdays are heavenly here but the weekends can get busy so arrive early to get a decent spot.
It is a windy spot so ensure your tents or gazebos are firmly secured.

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).
