Anonymous Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Gorgeous scenery in the whole area. Farm animals to look at and pet. Friendly owner. Nice toilets, facilities were really very clean.
Great hiking in the area. Dogs were welcomed and all on lead.
Disliked Campers pitch up within centimetres of each other, if there was a fire it would quickly spread. We woke up to a tent blocking us in so they would have to unpeg their tent for us to drive our camper out. Not the owners fault but maybe over booked.

Could be a really nice site, but needs to improve in areas.
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked The surrounding countryside is lovely and the facilities on site are good and clean.
Disliked Lack of signage on site for checking in,showers and extra toilets, freezer and charging ingredients points.
I know this wasn't just me , as two other customers arrived on site and asked me about checking in and where things were.
I did phone in to check in my arrival and was told that anywhere in the two fields was fine to pitch up. So I avoided the area designated for parking for the Shepherds Rest ( 1 small sign) and pitched to the side of the Rest and near the toilets. Not blocking the view of the shepherd's Rest and by no means impeding the parking.
The next morning it was requested that I move my tent for my 2nd night as apparently this area was also not meant to be pitched in, not clear at all!
Again better signage and also a bit more understanding, rather than "there is a sign" albeit 20 metres away and on the other side of the Shepherd's Rest would've been appreciated.
It should also be pointed out about the locality/facilities, that when it says a nice Pub within walking distance, it fails to mention that said Pub, is only open Thursday through to Sunday.

Beautiful. Busy. Sloping pitches. Nowhere near enough facilities.
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Beautiful scenery. Decent location.
Disliked We arrived on Thursday and had a lovely chilled evening - we managed to get a fairly level spot (a lot of the site is on a slope). All was great.
However - Friday arrived, with what seemed like, the rest of the UK’s population!
I get that busy is to be expected during school holidays, but this was a bit of a joke - people pitching tents right next to others, leaving no space. One poor guy, who had been there a few days, had to move after being smothered by new arrivals.
Cars and vans arriving until well after 9pm. Every time you thought ‘surely that’s it’ - another arrived.
The 10pm quiet rule was ignored by many - some playing really loud music until well after.
People seemed to let their dogs wander freely off-lead.
There are only 6 toilets - so the second you go for a wee, someone is trying the door.
But the worst thing of all - there were only 2 showers for the whole site. 200+ people and 2 showers! We went, saw the queue and gave up. Not only do I not want to queue for hours for a shower, but can you imagine what state they’d be in!! No thanks.
Such a shame, as the scenery is beautiful, the location is good and the lady who runs the site seemed lovely - they could really just do with capping the number of people!!

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked We liked the clean and practical facilities, location, price
Disliked We anticipated more space between our camping neighbours. It was really busy and we was expecting it to be less people for a more relaxed stay....However, we still enjoyed our stay and made the most of it. Everyone was really friendly which really added to the experience

What customers say
This campsite offers stunning views, a peaceful atmosphere, and friendly staff. Visitors praise the clean and well-maintained facilities, including toilets and showers. It's well-located for hiking and exploring the Peak District, with a local pub within walking distance. While generally quiet, some guests noted occasional noise from animals or other campers during busy periods. Limited showers have been a point of feedback, though improvements are noted.

Nice green site, but too crowded and noisy for us.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Plenty of lovely green grass and lots of space. There were plenty of fire pits available to hire for just £5, with bags of firewood available for £10. The toilets were also cleaned fairly regularly.
Disliked The site felt quite crowded when it got busy, with around 20 tents but only two picnic tables. Most people parked next to their tents, sometimes with several cars on one pitch, and part of the field was also used as parking for the rental accommodation. There was quite a lot of noise from farm machinery and vehicles throughout the day and night. It would also have been nice to have a vending machine, kettle or somewhere to buy a few basic snacks and camping essentials. The nearby restaurant wasn’t great either.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Absolutely love this camp site. The facilities are great and the owners are lovely. I have been here a few times now and it is one of my favourite in the peaks. It is ideally located to get to lots of walks and has a few walks from the site. The views from the site are amazing for that brew in the morning. This time we had the pleasure of a cat keeping us company which was cute. Slept with me on one of the nights. This site is really amazing and fantastic value for money. Looking forward to my next visit.
