Peak District views
Camping field, win hill view
Ladybower reservoir 7min away from campsite.
Tree-lined camping field

  • Simple pitches at a working farm in the central Peak District
  • Bamford Edge and Hathersage open-air pool five minutes' drive
  • Farm eggs for sale on site; two pubs within a mile's walk
You’ll be pretty much right in the centre of the Peak District National Park when you pitch up at Winhill View – this site is on a working farm on the edge of the Derwent river, just across the water from the village of Bamford. That makes this a particularly excellent location for walkers, who can get to the likes of the Thornhill Trail, Bamford Edge and Ladybower Reservoir with just a short drive (or by setting out on foot). Mam Tor, Castleton’s caves, Bakewell and Chatsworth are all within easy reach by car too, so you’ll have no shortage of ways to fill days around here. If you’re heading out hiking (or in fact, even if you’re not…) there’s surely no finer way to start the day than with some farm-fresh eggs, which you can buy on site to cook up for an excellent breakfast. Come evening time, you may like to get a barbecue going (there are three shops within a 10-minute drive for supplies) or head out to a local pub – there are a couple of excellent ones within a mile’s walk. Back at the farm, you’ll be staying on simple but well-kept pitches within a peaceful field surrounded by trees, with access to a washing-up area and toilet/shower facilities.

What customers say

A small, peaceful campsite on a working farm, praised for its friendly and welcoming hosts and stunning views, particularly of Bamford Edge. Facilities are described as basic but clean and functional, with a good hot shower and toilets. Its location is ideal for walkers and cyclists, offering easy access to local trails and pubs. Some visitors noted signage could be improved and facilities are best suited for adults due to their basic nature.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Fantastic location with a great view of Bamford edge. Good base to start walks from, just next to Thornhil trail which takes you to Lady Bower. Good facilities which were cleaned daily. Also friendly chicken had lunch with us which was lovely.

Disliked It was not disclosed to us that it was a quiet camp site until we arrived. We are not raucous however chit chat at 10:30 we thought would be acceptable but alas, it was not. We were respectful of this but it would be good to know before hand.

From the manager: Thank you for your review with regards to the campsite been a quiet campsite that is exactly what we are .tou definitely wasn’t respectful of that and had no considerations for the other campers the neighbours ands the surrounding your group was extremely loud and inconsiderate until after midnight any one coming to stay at our campsite must respect that we are a quiet campsite no music which you also didn’t listen to .your review shows how little consideration you have for others that you thought your behaviour was ok . After the experience with you we have decided next year there will be no groups just couples and solo travellers which is a shame after three years of no problems

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Site owners are very friendly and accomodating. We instantly felt welcomed.
The site was very clean and tidy and there was no noise, apart from the other campers and a few distant cows mooing.
The facilities included a toilet, shower and a sink, with clean water.
We will definitely use this site again.
Thank you very much.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The campsite is peaceful and simple. The facilities are kept clean and the owners are very friendly. Eggs from their chickens were available to buy at the honesty shop table at the top of their lane. During my stay I accidentally scorched the ground but the owners were very nice about it. Careful about overdoing the camp fire, even if it's elevated!!
The site was in a great position for me to explore local running routes, checking out Mam Tor and Ladybower reservoir.
There is also a lovely little route over Bamford Mill to The Angler's Rest pub. Great if you have a little light left in the day to see the weir and stepping stones in the evening light.
I felt the pitch was great value and thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Disliked A portion of the site is ever so slightly sloped but most of it is flat, so if that would be a problem better to arrive sooner than later to secure a suitably flat pitch. If pitching up on the flat area be mindful of others and don't spread out too much (in hindsight I could have been more mindful which became more evident as it got busier towards the weekend).

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely site on a working farm with friendly owners. Small field for campers with single outside toilet (mini shed) , single shower and toilet room. There was also one sink with cold water for washing pots and sourcing water. Fresh eggs are sold on site and the surrounding area is beautiful. The site is maintained well and facilities are cleaned regularly. If you want the countryside this site is worth a visit!.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked We had a brilliant time at Winhill View, it’s a perfect location for exploring the Peak District. You can drive to Sheffield if you need supplies or a bit of city life or equally walk straight from your tent to see the outstanding countryside. Fantastic hosts and a fantastic site we would return!
