  • 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, which sells eggs, bacon, sausages, cheese, barbecue meats and other goodies, or grab a local ice cream, milkshake or fresh milk from the on-site Milk Barn. You're welcome to 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 (a cash deposit is required) 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 away 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, to be booked and paid for at the on-site farm shop; 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.

What customers say

This is a family-run working farm campsite with beautiful views, particularly of The Roaches. Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful owners and staff, and the well-stocked on-site farm shop. The site offers plenty of space, allows campfires, and is a good base for local walks and pubs. However, the toilet and shower facilities are a recurring point of concern for many guests, often described as basic, limited in number, and sometimes poorly maintained, especially during busy periods. Despite this, many reviewers found it to be good value for money and would recommend or return.

Eleanor M.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly donkeys, horses, calf’s, working farm so nice to pet them! I heard good things about the milkshake but I didn’t try one. Farm shop!
My fave thing was the fishery. So nice to camp so close to water- you could amble around it, and at dusk it was magical with birds, fish moving, semi wild horses etc. got that insignificant feeling which I seek camping! Could take picnic there too. Can’t swim in it.
Near to so many amazing sites if drive.
Farm noises and animal noises great.
View of the roaches, with beautiful sunset

Disliked No footpaths or hikes from campsite, again there’s lots drivable. But again only personally, I quite like ditching van and moseying. Tried to walk to local pub to read book, but walk was only on main roads.

1 medium field for camping. As result, awareness of other campers, smaller space between pitches. More fields like in other sites would help get that remote wild feel- but again it’s a working farm!
Maybe it was busy but little bit more claustrophobic.

£2.50 feels expensive for shower and had to book time slot in shop. But very affordable base camping rate.

Liked Second time staying here.
Pleased with the site on both trips.
Good facilities and lovely farm shop with new gifts added since we visited last.
We stayed on the lake as we were fishing and had a lovely quiet spot.
Clean toilets. Didn’t shower this time but last time we were pleased with the hot shower.

Disliked Didn’t catch anything but were inexperienced anglers.

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.
