What customers say
Crossgate Farm Campsite is praised for its stunning views, friendly staff, and on-site cafe/bar. Visitors enjoyed the animals, particularly the goats, and found the location ideal for walks. Facilities are generally described as clean and new, though some reviews mention issues with portaloos and a lack of dedicated washing-up areas. The site's hilly terrain is noted by several guests, with some finding pitches sloped. Despite basic facilities, many reviewers would recommend and return.

excellent site, clean facilities, friendly staff
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Such lovely people, greeted on arrival and shown where abouts everything is. Toilets/ showers are absolutely immaculate for a camp site and it is possible to buy drinks from in the cafe if needed. Not to far away from shops/ petrol stations.
Disliked Cafe could open a little earlier in the morning however not a major issue.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had a fantastic stay at this scenic campsite! The views from our pitch were beautiful, and it was a perfect base for hiking in the area. The shower and toilet facilities were clean and well maintained, which made the stay even more comfortable. Our kids absolutely loved feeding the friendly goats — such a lovely touch for families. It’s also really convenient being so close to shops, so we could easily pick up anything we needed. Highly recommend for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!
Disliked You need to bring your fire pit, the bench table needs some attention

Excellent site, good facilities, lovely staff would highly recommend
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely campsite, absolutely stunning views, nice clean toilets, the site is on a bit of a slope but there are lots of flat areas. We hired a fire pit with wood for £10 and a £20 deposit which was a welcome addition to a bit of a damp weekend, the cafe on site was lovely food as well,all the team we spoke to were lovely and friendly too
Disliked Not so much a dislike but worth noting, There were events on at the bar both nights we were there which went past the 10pm curfew you could hear it at our pitch, it didn't bother us, but I can't comment on how strictly the 10pm rule is enforced if these events weren't on. Also be aware there is quite a slope up to the toilet block from the pitches

Good stop off for £15
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Friendly welcome and nice stop off for only £15 a night. Newly built shower and toilet block.. lovely looking café bar on site (didn't visit). Could feed the goats. Dogs permitted on leads. Lovely view of the surrounding area and reservoir in the right spot.
Shower was great (you need £1 or 20ps) Had a bigger, accessible toilet
Disliked Smell in toilets maybe from septic tank was overpowering.
There was a private function on when I arrived so loud and voices until late. I was told this on arrival and it really didn't bother me but it might others if expecting a quiet spot.
No proper washing up facilities at the time of writing but these were being built.
Planes fly over from Manchester airport and could hear road noise.
