  • Wild camping on a family-run farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Buxton and Macclesfield both 15 minutes' drive away
  • Farm shop with eggs, meat and honey; regular 'meet the chicks' events
Go wild (almost) in the Peak District National Park – the pitches at Dingers Hollow Farm are designed for those who’d love to go wild camping in the park but want to make sure they stay on the right side of the law. There’s a real rural vibe at this simple pop-up site, which is part of a working farm in the west of the national park, about 15 minutes’ drive from Macclesfield. The back-to-basics pitches are completely off grid, so there’s no electricity connection, no running water and no showers, but you will have access to portable toilets. Being part of a working farm, there’s always something going on and something to see: there are regular ‘meet the chicks’ events throughout the season, and you’ll be able to spot lambs and calves too if you’re here in spring or early summer. There's also a farm shop on site selling eggs, meat, honey and drinks. It’s easy to get out beyond the farm’s walls too: you’ll be right on the route of the Cheshire Three Peaks trail, and footpaths also run from the site to Shutlingsloe and Macclesfield Forest, taking you past fields, lakes and classic drystone walls along the way. Alternatively, follow the route to Three Shires Head (about an hour and a quarter from the farm on foot) for a gorgeous wild swimming spot. As for the practicalities, a couple of pubs are within 10 minutes’ drive, as are a tea room, a gin distillery and an ice cream producer. Macclesfield and Buxton (both 15 minutes’ drive) are handy sources of supplies for your picnics and meals on site (which you can eat at the picnic tables).

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked We really enjoyed our stay here. It offers excellent value for money, with very reasonable prices and plenty of space to spread out. One of the best things is that you can choose where to pitch rather than being allocated a spot.

The setting is beautiful, with rolling countryside views and sheep, cows and horses grazing nearby, making it feel peaceful and relaxing. The farm also sells its own lamb, along with fresh eggs and ice creams, which was a lovely touch.

Facilities are very basic but exactly as described before we arrived and I feel reflects the price per night. There's a portaloo, recycling and rubbish bins, and fresh water supplied via a hose. There are no showers or hot running water, but we knew this in advance so it wasn't an issue for us.

We didn't use them but there is also a separate area with picnic benches and dog field (with poo bags).

Disliked The only thing worth mentioning is that mobile phone reception is almost non-existent. It didn't bother us at all and actually added to the feeling of getting away from everything, but it's something to bear in mind if you need to stay in touch with the outside world.
