What customers say
This campsite is praised for its stunning location, friendly staff, and the on-site cafe/bar. Visitors enjoyed the beautiful views, the presence of farm animals, and the convenience of walks directly from the site. However, some found the facilities, particularly the portaloos and washing-up area, to be basic or inadequate for the price, and noted pitches can be sloped.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Paradise on a hilltop with great facilities.
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked What a site! Stunning views and the animals are all adorable. The barn is a wonderful facility to have with food and drink served in lovely surroundings inside and out. Toilets are way nicer than mine at home and kept spotless! Yes you can hear the A628 but so nice to sit on a hilltop watching the slaves to 9-5 racing up and down while you can just chill to birdsong and rolling hills! The swallows are a sight to see and bats too. Good campfire wood sold in cardboard boxes which makes a pleasant change from the environmentally questionable orange net bags. Lovely walks from site and the waterfall is a 30 min walk and spectacular to see. Not that many level pitches - vans are ok with levelling ramps. The views at night are something to see too!

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked The site was spacious, well located; not too far from Manchester/Glossop, friendly staff and more than adequate facilities.
The supplied fire pit made out of an old washing machine drum was a great additional at only £10 for the pit and wood
Being surrounded by the farm animals was a very pleasant bonus!

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Nice and easy to find. Liked that there was music and good food and drinks available. Friendly welcome.
Good location to head off for walks without going on main roads.
Disliked We were surprised that the view from the camping field is over houses and industrial buildings as you’re quite close to the town. Not really shown in the photos. That’s fine, but better to know what you’re going to get. I chose this as it looked to be more rural with views over water.
I think the advertised photos are from the car park field rather than the camping area, so be aware if considering.
It was a busy weekend with an event on which mean limited toilets as they are used by the bar/cafe visitors too. Didnt fancy going in in my pjs in the middle of a party 🤣. But maybe will be quieter other weekends.
I thought the price was quite high for a slanted pitch without electric

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Nice area, plenty of walks from the door. Facilities clean and tidy. Large field and you can pitch where you like.
The cafe bar was very handy for food and drinks.
Disliked It was a hot weekend with a full camp site and the cafe bar was very busy. None of this is a bad thing, but they could do with more toilets for the number of people.

Great location, site could do with a few more facilities.
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Location.
Disliked Only one male sit down toilet for a site that size seemed inadequate, especially when the barn was extremely busy. Also there were no washing up facilities.
