What customers say
This campsite boasts a stunning Peak District location, ideal for walkers and cyclists with Mam Tor and Castleton within easy reach. Visitors praise the friendly atmosphere, spacious pitches and clean, basic facilities including hot showers. While many appreciate the relaxed, back-to-basics farm setting and reasonable prices, some comment on noise from other campers and the limited number of facilities during peak times. The site is generally well-maintained, offering a peaceful escape for many.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Absolutely stunning location, more sign posts for signing in would be good I found it in the end but was a little daunting for my first time solo camping however staff/owners was very polite and friendly, location is definitely a hidden gem, I stayed the Friday night wasn’t overcrowded each pitch had adequate space and absolutely unreal grounds, site facilities was very much back to basics but I loved this, for the price an absolute steal, please note you do need £1 coins for the shower handy to take a few with you. Definitely recommended , hopefully be returning again soon

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Location is perfect as a base for walking or cycling.
Disliked Be prepared for a bit of sheep poo in the camp site and uneven rocky ground because at the end of the day it’s a working farm and the location it’s in.
Facilities were clean though and we had no complaints and enjoyed our stay.

Amazing location if you're a walker. Best avoided if it's busy.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Helpful and friendly staff on arrival. Stunning location. Takeaway food available.
Plenty of space on level ground.
Disliked Not enough loos, showers or dishwashing facilities for the number of campers. Noisy at night despite signs requiring quiet after a certain time. Poor waste facilities: one overflowing skip in the corner of the field, and no recycling capacity.

Sehr schön im Peak District gelegen, leider ohne jeglichen Service
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Sehr schöne Gegend die zum Spazieren gehen, Mountainbike oder einfach zum Entspannen mit toller Aussicht einlädt,
6 Eier für 2 GBP
Disliked Man bekommt das Gefühl vermittelt nur zum Bezahlen gut zu sein… die Dusche war nicht zu gebrauchen, die Toiletten nicht sauber und beim Empfang war stundenlang niemand und auch telefonisch nicht zu erreichen (Vielleicht sind die Bauern etwas überfordert mit ihren täglichen Aufgaben)
