  • Family-run dairy farm and fishery with views over The Roaches
  • Short drive to Alton Towers, Peak Wildlife Park and Tittesworth Water
  • On-site farm shop and farm animals; 10 minutes' walk to two local pubs
Set on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, Brooklyn Grange Farm is a back-to-basics site on a family-run dairy farm surrounded by gorgeous Staffordshire countryside. The scenery here is varied indeed, with views over quiet fishing pools, grassy meadows and the spectacular rocky ridge known as The Roaches. You'll also be well placed to sample local produce at this small-scale site – you can head to the farm shop and light up a barbecue (as long as it's kept off the grass). If you don't have your own, there are firepits for hire from the farm shop and kindling and logs for sale. There's also a village pub and carvery around 10 minutes' walk away on the edge of Thorncliffe (with another around 10 minutes' walk way in Blackshaw Moor). For more flavours, try Leek (five minutes' drive), a local market town with a good range of restaurants, cafés and food shops. After a trip to town it's back to the countryside, where you might like to try a spot of catch-and-return fishing at one of the site's well-stocked ponds (for an extra fee; you must have an Environment Agency licence; no fishing available during the spawning season, which is generally in late May and/or early June). You could also take yourself off for a hike in the national park (a mile away), where there are many miles of well-mapped trails to explore. As for facilities, Brooklyn Grange Farm has functional and well-maintained toilets for guests. There is one shower available here (bookable for an extra charge at the farm shop), or you can take the option of travelling five minutes down the road to Brough Park Leisure Centre.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We can't think of anything to complain about. The pitch was the perfect location and exactly how it looked on photos. The farm shop had everything you would've needed as a young couple coming away for a few nights and the staff were excellent. For our first trip away in our tent we couldn't have wished for a better site. 10/10.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review, much appreciated, pleased to hear your first trip out went all OK, hopefully see you again

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Location looked okay

Disliked: Turned up to. Very very muddy pitch too muddy to get on. Had to be pushed out my By fellow campers and we're unable to stay on site at all. Couldn't find anyone on site who ran / worked there. Had to find somewhere else to stay

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Friendly staff who ensured we felt welcome. The shop was well stocked. They went the extra mile for my clumsy requests.

Disliked: Shame there weren’t ground rules for the youngsters partying past 12am next to us

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review - apologies for the noisy group, as stated on the last review we limit the party numbers booking but they can still all meet on separate bookings - we do have ground rules and as already stated I am a phone call away to sort out if needs be, as a rule we have a well behaved, respectful campsite

Nice shop, scenic views but don't recommend.

Richard L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Polite lady on shop reception. Location/view.

Disliked: Noise, noise, noise. Bank holiday weekend so I guess it was busier than usual but in my opinion, just too many groups of people there just to get pi**ed up, play music till late and generally not give a sh*t about others on the site. Usually campsites operate a rule of keep noise to a minimum after a certain time but not here unfortunately. Toilets/facilities are bare bones basic too.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, comments noted - we do operate a quiet time with it being a family campsite, we state quiet time after 11pm, I'm sorry you experienced a noisy group, we have a limit on people booking in one group but it doesn't stop them making multiple bookings and meeting up, my phone is always on in case of any disturbance for me & my husband to come and sort & we would have done if notified - we do only state on our site info that we are a back to basics campsite which you have stated which also reflects on the prices given - our facilities are basic, but clean

Good location. Nice little farm shop on site with friendly staff. A nice…

Emma B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Good location. Nice little farm shop on site with friendly staff. A nice pond to look at and if anyone is in to fishing.

Disliked: Poor quality toilets that didn’t flush and often backed up with old waste. Can’t show unless willing to pay £2.50 per person per shower: You can tell it is cheap per night as the clientele were of a lower standard with no morales or care for other guests. Very boggy pitches. Grass needed cutting. Couldn’t get cars on to grass and therefore packing and unpacking was a much longer and strenuous task.

Liked: Absolute lovely site with fishing pools farm shop Donkeys. Goats etc. The owner was absolutely lovely will definitely be going back there again . Value for money

Disliked: Weather made part of the fields waterlogged but this happens to all sites , but the true campers loved it

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, much appreciated - Thank you for understanding with the weather, over the weekend wasn't too bad but the Wednesday before we had a month's worth of rain in 24hrs which obviously tipped the scales so to speak

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Spectacular views, nothing too much trouble for the hosts.

Disliked: Pitch up stated we had to buy logs and fire fuel on site, logs a little damp and hard to burn. Saw lots of people bringing their own logs with them

Local attractions

Make your way to the wild rides of Alton Towers (20 minutes' drive), the UK's biggest theme park. If your idea of fun doesn't include days full of white-knuckle rollercoaster rides, another family-friendly option is Peak Wildlife Park (10 minutes). For those rainy days, it's not far to reach Blaze Farm and The Potty Sheep (20 minutes), an ice cream farm which also organises paint-a-pot activities. For further agreeable outings, head to the Churnet Valley Railway (15 minutes) or the Manifold Valley (10 minutes) and Thor's Cave (20 minutes). You could go hiking and climbing at The Roaches (10 minutes), visiting Lud's Church (10 minutes) as an add-on. And where else to set your sights on? Trails Day (20 minutes' walk), a centre where guests can learn to ride a trial bike, or Tittesworth Reservoir (10 minutes' drive) for watersports and walking, and Madrenaline Activities (15 minutes) for archery and axe-throwing. Rudyard Lake (15 minutes) has a miniature railway too. A bit of luxury? You'll find it in the elegant grounds of Biddulph Grange Gardens (20 minutes), a local National Trust property, or in Buxton (20 minutes), an old spa town across the border in Derbyshire with a range of plush places to eat and drink.
