  • 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.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site (family)

Liked What's not to like, I've visited quite a few campsites in the Peak District and this is definitely one of the best. Lots of optional extras food wise if you so wish...even do fresh coffee.

Liked Everything.
Friendly service, always a helpful member of staff available at the ring of the bell.
Basic supplies available at the shop as well as home made pizza (which we relied on for our first evening and was delicious!)
Plenty of waste management, organised and promptly emptied.
A working farm, the cows were particularly vocal at night, which we loved. Proper camping audio.
Other reviews mentioned planes flying overhead. I wouldn't mark as a negative and wasn't disruptive or unpleasant. We do, afterall, exist under a sky.
Facilities well maintained and regularly cleaned. Family room recommended if you're with children, nice and spacious. An extra hook or two in the main showers would be a benefit, but adequate as is.
Nice walks right out of the camping fields in most directions.

Liked 2nd stay at Knotlow Farm. Beautiful fields and views. Facilities regularly cleaned. Ability to order pizza on site was appreciated. Proximity to Bakewell and Buxton. Will return

Disliked Despite signage asking owners do not take dogs into the showering facilities some chose to ignore this. No fault of the site

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.
