  • Family-run campsite on a working farm near Clowne in Derbyshire
  • Half an hour’s drive to the Peak District; Chatsworth House 40 minutes
  • Fishing pond and farm shop; direct access to walks and bike rides
Ramblers, fishing folk, families and their dogs – all are welcome at Stanfree Road Farm’s almost-wild campsite near Clowne and Chesterfield in Derbyshire. Set in rolling fields on a small working farm, this family-run site is a handy base for pottering around the Peak District, while keen anglers will probably want to stay behind and cast a line or two on the pond. Simple facilities out on the camping field include a toilet and shower block; there’s no lighting on site, so just make sure to bring along torches for the nighttime. At the handy family-run farm shop, you can pick up fresh eggs for a breakfast fry-up, as well as home-reared, grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef for the evening barbecue (bring your own barbecue with you, ta). Vehicles are allowed on the meadow for pitching and packing-up purposes only, leaving the campsite safe for kids (and dogs on leads) to play safely. Parking is provided adjacent to the field.

Stephanie S.

Angus camping pod

Liked Beautiful location, friendly and helpful hosts and a gorgeous accommodation. Farm was easy to find. Everything was beautiful, cosy and warm, lovely blankets and comfy bed. Board games and books for kids- we had a good game of Mousetrap (though the marble is too big for the bathtub 😆). We stayed for NYE, and it was the perfect quiet break. We will be back.

The pod was the perfect size for us and would be great with our two kids too. Immaculate too, well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We had the place almost to our selves because the weather had turned cold at night and we were in our tent.
The farm shop butchery is excellent.
The ablution block had good hot water all day and the lights came on when you went into the building after dark. The floors were cleaned every day and the toilet paper was topped up every morning.
There is a pond for fishing which is what we wanted.

Local attractions

For active family days out in the fresh air, Clowne Branchline Greenway (15 minutes by bike) promises gentle rides along a former railway line. It links into the multi-use Archaeological Way, which passes old collieries on its way to the gorge and museum at Creswell Crags (both half an hour). There are more adventures to be had in the Peak District National Park (half an hour’s drive), like hiking along the banks of the River Derwent or maybe testing yourselves on a section of the Pennine Way from Edale (an hour). If you’d like to tick a few stately piles off your to-see list, the spectacular Chatsworth House (40 minutes) is open for tours of its sumptuous apartments and scenic walks through landscaped grounds. Nearby is majestic Hardwick Hall (20 minutes), where you can admire Elizabethan architecture at its best, while at hillside Bolsover Castle (10 minutes) there is a circular rampart walk with views over the Vale of Scarsdale. Still not had your fill of history? Head to Chesterfield (20 minutes) to marvel at the twisted steeple on the Crooked Spire church.
