  • Peaceful pop-up site at a farm in the Staffordshire Moorlands
  • Alton Towers 10 minutes' drive; Peak District walks 20 minutes away
  • Meet animals and buy produce on site; pub two minutes' walk
Piggies to meet on site, a pub a couple of minutes’ walk away, and Peak District walks close by… that’s just the start of a list of selling points for Tunstead Campsite, just outside the village of Foxt in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Pitches at this pop-up farm site are simple (please note that there are no showers, only toilets for guests' use) but scenic, with a peaceful atmosphere and lovely views across the surrounding green landscapes. You’ll be able to meet and feed the three friendly pigs, and can also buy logs, free-range eggs, homemade bread and butchers’ packs to boost your rural experience. Don’t fancy cooking? Stroll to the local pub (a mere two minutes’ walk from the farm) for burgers and other pub classics along with a good range of drinks. The immediate surroundings are great for a country walk (handy for dog owners…), but it's also worth knowing that the edge of the Peak District National Park is only a few miles away, putting places like Ashbourne and Dovedale within easy reach for walks and bike rides. And that's not all – family attractions like Alton Towers and the Peak Wildlife Park are within 10 minutes’ drive too. An aesthetics and skincare clinic is based at Tunstead Campsite, so if you fancy getting a Japanese head spa treatment, you know where to go; site guests get a 15% discount.

What customers say

This family-run site offers a relaxed atmosphere with spacious pitches, lovely views, and a peaceful ambiance. Guests praised the friendly and accommodating owners, the on-site animals which were a hit with children, and convenient proximity to local attractions like Alton Towers and village pubs. Basic but clean toilets were noted. While most found the facilities adequate for short stays, some suggested showers would be a welcome addition for longer visits. Signage could be improved for easier navigation.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Beautiful views, friendly owners, real community feel amongst other campers, and lots of optional extras to purchase if required (wood, marshmallows, eggs etc). Great pub around the corner and 15 minutes from Alton Towers.

Disliked Only 2 toilets on site which lacked privacy, and it was really busy so obviously lots of people in and out. No hot water for the one communal sink (outdoors with no shelter - not ideal). And a bit delicate this one: the site owners’ children were playing on the campsite unattended, and the youngest was being a bit unkind (thumped another child which went unnoticed by any other adults, and wouldn’t move down the slide so other children couldn’t use it, including my daughter). He also pulled out the dipstick from the tractor and was splashing oil about!! So I don’t really agree with letting them use the area unless they’re being monitored or you can ensure they’re playing nicely (sorry - not a parental criticism, just from a business perspective).

Very pleasant and happy place to stay. Will definitely be back

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved how kind and helpful the owner are. My 2 children could run round and play with no problems. Really good value for money. We was so comfortable and relaxed here. Will definitely be back

Disliked Toilets. Was kept clean and nice. Only down side. The lights and doors left on and open all night. So would be completely full off bugs and daddy long legs in the morning. I don’t mind bugs but made my child scared to use

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely place, in the heart of Peak District
Really clean and well looked after site, clean toilets and a washing place.
Offers for small fee: bags of burning wood, barbecue, wood burner, even marshmallow and sticks.
2min walking distance a very lovely local pub with good food for everyone. What else could you ask for?! Everything was just perfect.

Liked Second time staying here and was happy that the first time wasn't just a one off.
Whilst it was considerably busier this time - was still ideal for what I needed.

Disliked With the number of people staying this weekend - more toilets would be beneficial- especially when there are so many children on site

Liked Great location, and view with plenty of space on the the pitch. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Pub next door did great food and hetty's tea shop which is a 15 minute walk away is a must followed by a walk along the canal.
