Middlehills Farm Campsite

Positiv It was our first time camping, and Middlehills Farm Campsite was the perfect choice. The environment is very comfortable, the scenery is beautiful, and the facilities are well-equipped. Everything from the toilets and showers to the campsite itself was spotlessly clean, which really made the experience pleasant and relaxing.

The showers have hot water, and although there is a small fee to use them, this was not a big issue for us.

The only minor downside was that there seemed to be a nearby pub or restaurant with a live band playing at night, and the music went on until around midnight. It wasn’t a big problem, but light sleepers might want to bring earplugs.

Overall, it’s a fantastic campsite that I would happily recommend to others.

Positiv Campsite was well thought out, with lots of room for each pitch. Facilities are very good, with a well-stocked and reasonably priced shop. The pizza van was an extra treat. Staff were helpful with check in. Most people turned music off after 10, but stayed up chatting in their groups which added a nice atmosphere. You could hear the quarry but nothing noisier than you would expect from a working quarry!

Positiv Friendly staff, pleasant and well-kept grounds, no pitch restrictions (just go ahead and choose your own), clean toilets with wonderfully warm showers (£1 for 5 mins), "on site" shop for snacks.

Negativ Perhaps disliked is too strong a term, but the "on site" shop didn't stock alcohol; some might consider this a bonus. I mention this only as the closest shop is many miles away. There is a nearby pub, but you will have to negotiate a short section of busy road.

Positiv Loved the play park and amount of families - my son had an amazing time playing on the park and making friends.
The toilets and pot washing area was really well laid out and cleaned regularly. I didn’t use the showers but they looked good too.
Great little shop on site for any bits you need.
Guy on reception was super helpful and always around to answer queries.
We actually stayed an extra night we were having such a good time.
Great price for what we got.

Negativ Whilst this wouldn’t put me off going again, it was sometimes noisy with the kids playing on the park and some of the nearby quarry works. However, the enjoyment my son got from the park and the set up of the site generally far outweighed any negatives for me. And the site was well managed and quiet by 10ish.
WiFi didn’t work for my friend but I had enough signal not to worry.

Positiv Being able to choose pitch and be close to the park and facilities. The shop being open until 8pm, friendly staff. Very scenic and family friendly.

Negativ Felt like the kids were being policed a little bit on the play area. Appreciate that there has to be some rules however, kids are kids and just want to have fun and make use of what is on offer for them.

The noise from the nearby quarry is quite loud.

We weren't given WiFi info....didn't affect our overall stay but I think site info should be given on arrival.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thankyou for your review, and glad you enjoyed your stay, sad to hear you wouldn't return, but that's your loss. Children on the playground sometimes have to be policed because sadly their own parents don't, and they can cause upset for some other children, and whilst on our site we will tell them. Did you ask for wifi info ? As the site is rural wifi can be very intermittent and being able to use the card machine in the shop and reception is far more important, if you can use your own data that is preferable but if you had asked we would have given it to you.

Positiv The campsite has a good kids park right in the middle which is great. The shop is good and open most of the day. At weekends the pizza van is really nice. The pigs are part of the furniture there. The location is great for lots of walks, visiting Robin Hoods Stride, Matlock, Middleton Top etc we’ve stayed here many many times over the years.

Negativ There was an annoying very large group of blocks which kept us up late. Part of the risk of camping sometimes 🤷‍♂️
