Dragons Back Wild Camping

Syntes om This has to go down as the site with the most beautiful view. Even as you drive down to it, you get a stunning view of the Dragons Back.
Loads of room to pitch and he doesn’t allow too many on so you’re not on-top of each other.
Toilet perfect fine and clean and always loads of loo roll. Shower clean.
You can do the Dragons Back right from the site or a smaller walk over Hollins Hill into Hollinsclough and a trip to the tearoom or honesty shop.
The warden onsite was super lovely and great for advising.
We also had a day at Buxton Raceway which is just a 20 min walk.
Plus there are the hilarious sheep, bleating away to each other all weekend and the chickens roaming around.
Can’t wait to go again next season.

Syntes om The site is in a beautiful location and great camp as a base for a walk around the dragon's back. The team on site were very friendly and relaxed about paying the remainder of the fee. We liked the ponies, chickens and very vocal sheep!

Syntes ikke om Toilet and shower facilities are a little limited (two porta-loos and a shower-shower when we were there), time your visits well. The site is on a bit of a slope, so snag a flat bit if you can. There is a race track nearby which can be very noisy when race day is happening.

Fra bestyreren: Many thanks for your review.

Syntes om Beautiful scenery, 2 toilets beneficial. Les was friendly

Syntes ikke om Had 2 dogs, lots of sheep poo in the camping area, we appreciate it’s a farm but the camping area was affected massively. And we were advised that they were kept separate. Maybe difficult for tents . Had to pick up lots of sheep poo for a clean area for dogs.

Comments noted. Farmer going to dig out his cattle grid this week and lower a gate a bit so hopefully that'll stop the beggars from keep wandering in.

Syntes om Amazing wild campsite. Friendly owners and guests. The facilities were clean and modern. Offered us so much help to get around Buxton and taxi numbers. Couldn’t have asked for more from the owners. We will definitely be booking again!

Syntes om Really beautiful site, peaceful and well maintained

The Saturday was fairly full but still felt like lots of space and privacy

Also there's a second loo now! If you're worried about earlier reviews commenting on that. Didn't need to queue, shower nice and hot, people friendly

Nice to see chickens and sheep roaming around, and horses in a field nearby

Syntes om What a great location for a weekend, stunning scenery and walks in abundance. Pitch anywhere in the field was great , used the toilets not the shower and water available alongside wash up . Perfect for dragons back and a walk into Hollinsclough with its honesty shop. We walked into Longnor once over Chrome Hill , lovely coffee shops and strollthrough the country lanes back. Would definitely recommend .

The power was failure that lasted 2 hours was a network failure. Unfortunately this affects the borehole pumps which supply the site and was unfortunately outside our control but does happen on rare occasions. We have looked to see what mitigation can be put in place but unfortunately due to onerous National Park Planning Regulations we have been limited in what we can achieve presently. Kind regards.

Syntes om Beautiful site and in a great location! Toilet and shower perfectly clean and lovely hosts. Absolutely no service on my phone..but we loved that!

Syntes ikke om Could do with an additional loo and shower.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review. As it is a pop up farm site the facilities are basic and limited and we try to make this as clear as possible before booking by describing it as 'wild camping' due to the limited facilities and rural location. Although we do try and go 'that little bit extra' by providing a 'cold water' wash up sink and a hot shower as additional (free) facilities for guests to use. Kind regards
