  • Peaceful and simple pitches at a Peak District family-run farm
  • A five-minute drive to Chapel-en-le-Frith; 10 minutes to Buxton
  • Gorgeous views towards Mam Tor; shop and playground five mins' walk
If you’re off to the Peak District National Park for the stunning gorgeous green scenery, you should be pretty pleased with the pitches at Peaslows Peak Camping. Part of a family-run farm, this site is a scenic spot indeed, with 360-degree views for miles across the Derbyshire countryside – including a wonderful view of Mam Tor. It all makes a rather fabulous backdrop for a picnic, a barbecue or a campfire evening – and it’s quite likely to inspire you to get out and explore a bit as well. That’s easily done, as there’s direct access to footpaths for walks of however long you choose, as well as the challenging Peaslows climb for cyclists. Nearby you can also visit the towns of Bakewell and Buxton, visit the caves around Castleton or spend the day exploring the Chatsworth Estate. The pop-up site is simple in style, with just a unisex toilet block, shower facilities (three each for men and women) and a washing-up area on the facilities front, and it’s a place that welcomes all guests – families, groups, couples, solo travellers and dog owners among them. There’s plenty of space on site for kids to scamper about in the fresh air, and a playground (along with a café and shop) a few minutes’ walk away. Chapel-en-le-Frith (five minutes’ drive) has supermarkets, shops and places to eat and drink.

Dyson N. 1 review

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Great views
Very good sized pitches
It’s in a good location (close to walks and villages)
Toilets and showers are clean especially to say we had a muddy weekend of rain

Disliked The hot water is only on for 3 hours on a morning and 3 hours on a night which meant trying to make sure we were up ready for a shower or back from our day out in time for a shower. Which is a little bit of a pain but doable, even with a 4 year old.

The field got a little muddy where the cars come in and out but nothing major and we had a lot of rain so can’t do anything about it.

My only real complaint is that in the showers there is no way to adjust the temperature and sometimes it would get very hot then go cold and there is no way to adjust it. This was not ideal when trying to shower a 4 year old.

We will definitely come again .

Local attractions

You’ll be able to see Mam Tor from the site – and once you’ve done that you’ll no doubt be keen to get over there to see it more closely. You can walk there in about an hour and a half, or drive to the car park (15 minutes’ drive) for access to the summit. It’s a popular local favourite and wonderful to visit at any time of day – but perhaps at its best during a sunrise or sunset walk. Another favourite local walk or bike ride takes you along the Monsal Trail from Bakewell (25 minutes) – and don’t forget to try out the local puddings in town once you’ve finished your outing along the former railway line. Buxton (10 minutes) is also a good place to find tasty food; while you’re there, perhaps try the boating lake, visit Poole’s Cavern or catch a show at the opera house. There are plenty more great things to do around the Peak District too – perhaps you’d like to visit the Blue John Cavern or Peak Cavern near Castleton (10 minutes) or head to the Chatsworth Estate (25 minutes), where it’s easy to full a full day visiting the grand house and wandering around the grounds to see the farmyard and have fun at the huge adventure playground.
