  • Premium family-run site on a farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Far-reaching views 25 minutes' drive from Buxton and Bakewell
  • Friendly staff; cosy, dog-friendly country pub 10 minutes' walk
There's a warm welcome all around at Hartington Hills, a farm site with helpful, friendly owners on hand. This family-run site is just under two miles from the Derbyshire village of Hartington, where there are several pubs and a few places to grab coffee. The farm is in the Peak District National Park, so it's in an excellent spot for those who want to set out on walking or cycling trails; cast your gaze a little wider and you can also easily hit stately homes, museums, activity centres and caves within half an hour’s drive. Buxton and Bakewell are both 25 minutes' drive away, and it may not have escaped the kids’ notice that the Alton Towers theme park just happens to be about half an hour's drive away… The site’s facilities include a launderette and modern bathrooms with underfloor heating, hot showers and a large wetroom for guests with reduced mobility or families hosing down wriggly kids. There is also a dedicated space for canines to let off steam.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended campsite praised for its exceptional cleanliness, particularly the modern, warm, and spotless toilet and shower facilities. Visitors consistently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, the beautiful location with stunning views, and well-maintained, spacious pitches. Many guests express a strong desire to return, citing the overall peaceful and well-managed environment. Issues with WiFi strength in certain areas and occasional pitch slope are noted but do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experiences.
