  • Family-run campsite in a scenic Peak District location
  • Bakewell 15 minutes' drive; Chatsworth 20 minutes
  • Separate adults-only and family-friendly camping fields in White Peak
Burrow down surrounded by typical Derbyshire farmland at Knotlow Farm, a friendly family-run farm campsite in the scenic White Peak area of the Peak District National Park. That’s your first step… and the second? Perhaps renting a bicycle from Parsley Hay, 10 minutes’ drive away, to pedal out over Peak District landscapes, or maybe whisking your four-legged friends off on an outdoor adventure – after all, they’re welcome here too. This rural break is a top choice for a variety of travellers because of its separate adults-only and family-friendly pitching areas. The site has a washing-up area, toilets and hot showers (plus a family bathroom with changing area) too, making it easy to refresh yourself at the end of a long day trekking through the local countryside or exploring some of the area's top tourist attractions… There are many of those nearby, by the way. Set just outside the small hamlet of Flagg, Knotlow Farm is a quarter of an hour's drive from market towns like Bakewell and 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire must-sees like Chatsworth House. There is also a small on-site shop to bag essential groceries and sweets, but if you're not in the mood for cooking, grab one of the site’s home-made pizzas every evening. There are breakfasts available every morning and fire baskets can also be hired too (with logs for sale), just in case you're after that extra little bit of evening ambience…

What customers say

Top-notch campsite, super clean facilities (showers, washing up included). Friendly staff, handy for Peak District. Pizzas on-site are a winner. Nice big fields and chill vibes, but some pitches are a bit sloped and you might hear planes at night.

Liked A great location with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were cheerful and friendly. The showers and washing-up area were spotless.

Disliked Some of the men mentioned that having a few more toilet cubicles available for them would be a welcome improvement.

Liked Peaceful site and not too busy at all. Great facilities including washing up area with washing up liquid provided if you forget and some plugs where you can charge devices and a freezer for ice blocks. Showers are 20p for 2 minutes. Nice clean toilet blocks too and plenty of bins and drinking water around the site. Nice views and a great walk to Monyash and onto Lathkill Dale direct from the site.

Disliked Not really anything to dislike, and will probably return

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (adults only)

Liked Lovely quiet site, the staff were lovely and facilities were good. There’s toilets nearby to each pitch, pizza and breakfast everyday. There’s a coffee and tea machine in the washing area but only takes cash. Amazing view. Not all pitches were flat but it didn’t bother us. Also rented a fire pit which was lovely. You can get WIFI in the toilets and reception but not on the pitches.

Local attractions

Those of you who want to glide past the sloping Peak District countryside can get started on the Tissington Trail (10 minutes’ drive). The old railway track is suited to wheels or walking boats, and the historic setting will get you ready for more historical sites… Those include Chatsworth House (20 minutes) and its peaceful grounds, excellent for a picnic and a walk, and the Nine Ladies stone circle (20 minutes). Legend has it each stone was once a lady punished for dancing on a Sunday. You may soon be dancing yourself - even on a Sunday - after a tour of Buxton (15 minutes) or Bakewell (15 minutes). Both characterful Peak District towns are packed with pubs, restaurants and cafés, and of course, in Bakewell, the speciality is Bakewell tarts. Down Chatsworth House way is Chesterfield (35 minutes) too – a destination for all things theatre, golfing and gourmet eats – but further on, it’s easy enough to get to Alton Towers (45 minutes) for a thrills-geared day.
