  • 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 beautifully maintained campsite in a stunning Peak District location, praised for its exceptional cleanliness, modern facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. Pitches are generously sized, and the site offers a peaceful atmosphere ideal for exploring local walks. Some minor points mentioned include slight slopes on pitches and variable WiFi, though these did not detract significantly from the overwhelmingly positive experiences. The site is highly recommended and many visitors express a desire to return.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked We especially loved how peaceful and relaxing it was, while still being perfectly located for exploring Hartington, Buxton and the surrounding Peak District. The little extras, from the on-site facilities to the friendly animals, really made our stay special.

If you’re looking for a clean, scenic, well-run campsite with fantastic facilities and a warm welcome, Hartington Hills is hard to beat. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, always happy to help and full of useful local knowledge.

We had an amazing stay at Hartington Hills and honestly couldn’t fault a thing. The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views across the Peak District and plenty of beautiful walks right from the campsite. The site itself is immaculate – everything is incredibly well maintained, and the shower and toilet facilities are some of the best we’ve ever experienced while camping.

A well-deserved 10/10 – we can’t wait to return!

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely site with stunning views
Pitches are kept in pristine condition.
Shop well stocked, showers and toilets very warm and spotless.
Thinking about coming back this next weekend!

Disliked Our pitch was on a slight incline and due to rain it all ran down that incline which pooled at our tent entrance so getting in and out of tent was a nightmare.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely, clean and very spacious site that even the rubbish weather couldn't spoil. The couple running the site were very friendly and super helpful.
Oh, the cleanest toilet/shower block we've ever had and a bonus of heated floor. The cheap usage of quality fire pits is a great touch despite the bad weather meaning we couldn't use one.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. No pubs close enough with Sky Sports but not the sites fault obviously
