  • 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.

Laura C.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Spacious pitches with amazing facilities. The toilet/shower block were the nicest facilities I’ve ever stayed at on a campsite. Extremely quiet site, felt super safe and the little shop if you need it, is a lovely touch. The microwave/toaster/kettle were perfect if you didn’t want to faff with your camper/tent facilities.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

A purely informational note, the electric hook up has a QR code on it which isn’t currently in use- plug your cable in and it works straight away (I had no clue what I was doing).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for a great review & fab pictures.
Our camp kitchen is perfect for all guests, along with our fully stocked shop.
We hope to see you soon on a return visit.

Neil P.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked On arrival i was given instructions of where everything is located along with a welcome pack containing details of local walks, pubs and details on the local area. When I had attempted to connect my electric hook up it would not work, the reception staff couldn't have been more helpful, they tested it and we worked out the issue was my cable, within a minute they returned with another cable for me to use free of charge overnight. Toilet block was immaculate and warm. Wifi was faultless. Definitely will return again.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hope you got your cable sorted out ready for your return trip with us!
Glad you enjoyed it

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely site with great views. Very friendly welcome. Modern & clean amenities. The site is a good base for walks & local attractions.

Disliked Only negative is, while we were there, there was a power cut due to nearby works, which meant no electric and hot water until mid afternoon.
Not necessarily the sites fault but just a little inconvenience. Would still highly recommend.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Yes sorry about the power cut, hopefully this won't be repeated in the future.
We are pleased you enjoyed your stay whilst taking in the beautiful views & local walks.
