Peaceful and sheltered adults-only site on a working farm
A 15-minute drive from Buxton; Bakewell 20 minutes
A few minutes' walk from a traditional country pub and the river Dove

Small in size but big on views – that’s the fine mix on offer at Crowdecote Campsite, an adults-only farm site in the Peak District National Park near the little village of Crowdecote. Green fields, trees and hills are all around at this quiet Derbyshire site, and local beauty spots like the river Dove, Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill are all within comfortable walking distance. Facilities on site are low-key so as not to detract from these peaceful surrounds, but essentials like a toilet, shower, running water and chemical disposal are all provided (the shower has hot water but please note there's no hot water elsewhere). This rural spot is also home to a herd of friendly cattle and their pygmy goat pals Kenny and Dave, all of whom can be seen in fields by the site. Dogs are welcome here, but please keep them on a lead and under control – this is a working farm, after all. Firepits are also welcome, and firewood is available to purchase on site. You'll need to keep all fires/barbecues in a steel container that's raised off the ground (please don't light fires on the ground or try to construct a firepit out of stones). Looking for something to make that view even nicer? A friendly country pub is a short walk away and a handy local bus service to Buxton and Ashbourne stops just opposite the pub, so you won't necessarily need a car for local hill walks (and you can also head straight out to Dragon's Back or Chrome Hill on a footpath from the site). The next village over is Longor (just over a mile away), where there's a café, bar and well-liked local chip shop.

What customers say

This adult-only campsite in a beautiful Peak District location receives consistent praise for its stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and friendly, helpful owner, Steve. Pitches are generally well-sized and maintained. Facilities, described as basic but clean and functional, include hot showers and a pot-washing area. Guests appreciate the proximity to local pubs and numerous walking routes. While some recent reviews note outdated facilities, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Literally just left this morning & a fantastic campsite at £20 pn.
Very generous marked out pitches so not a free for all like some similar campsites.
Male & females toilets & showers - 2 toilets & 2 showers in each, nothing amazing but perfectly suitable.
2 wash up sinks with hot water.
Bbqs & fires allowed with logs available to buy on site at a very reasonable £6 each.
Pub within a 5 min walk or 20 walk into Longnor village.
Perfect for those who love to hike as you have plenty of walks straight from the site.
Water point & toilet waste facilities.
Although this site doesn’t advertise WiFi it is available at no extra cost & we found it to be excellent.
Steve was very helpful & friendly and on hand if you needed anything.
What we really loved is this site doesn’t cram to many campers on despite there being more room available for them to do so.
Our first time here & 100% will be back.

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike other than they had no room for us to stop again tonight lol.

Local attractions

Anyone for a walk? There are plenty of those around – as well as the routes by the site, you may like to pick up the Tissington Trail (five minutes’ drive), hunt for history at Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (10 minutes) or explore Errwood Reservoir (20 minutes), which is also a good spot for some fly fishing. Different landscape options include venturing underground at Poole's Cavern and Buxton Country Park (15 minutes) or making your way across the River Dove at the Dovedale Stepping Stones (25 minutes). Chatsworth House (25 minutes) is always worth a visit too, for tours of the house, a wander among the sculptures in the garden and some choice bits from the farm shop. For some town time, try the elegant spa town of Buxton (15 minutes) or head to Bakewell (20 minutes) to sample its famous puddings.
