Well-maintained, peaceful site on working dairy farm with scenic views
In the Peak District National Park, a 15-minute drive from Buxton
Close to the Tissington and High Peak trails for countryside wanders

Plonk yourself down between pretty Peak District and Staffordshire moorlands at Pilsbury Lodge Farm, a simple yet scenic family-run site on a working dairy farm with countryside views. This is a friendly sort of spot where the owners happily greet you and get you settled in on arrival, so you can spend more time tearing through the lovely local landscape. There is, after all, much to see in this part of the world. Just off the A515, the park is 15 minutes’ drive from Buxton and 25 minutes from the Georgian and Tudor architecture in Ashbourne, both of which are known for restaurants serving up fine food made from locally sourced ingredients. When you’d rather cook for yourself, finagle a few of the farm-fresh eggs for sale from the site’s hens and ducks or get grilling. Cooking over coals is allowed at the park (in a firepit or on a raised barbecue so as to avoid spoiling the grass) and Hartington (10 minutes away) has a cheese shop specialising in the sought-after local stilton for jazzing up your burgers, plus tearooms and pubs are here too. If you can still manage to waddle about after all that food, take the dog off on strolls on the Tissington and High Peak trails close by, rinsing off after long walkies in the basic showers back at the site. Other facilities include a bathroom block with toilets, a chemical disposal point, washing-up facilities, drinking water and ice pack freezing facilities to help keep your food fresh.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Very easy to get to, there was lots of flexibility as to where to pitch up and we had lots of space from our “neighbours”. There were plenty of portaloos dotted around in addition to the 2 permanent ones, always kept clean. There are 2 decent showers and the 10 minutes of hot water for the £1 was plenty.

The perfect simple spot to pitch your tent.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: We stayed in the second field of the campsite and enjoyed the lovely views of the peaks. The campsite was quiet, most of the time the only noise you could hear was the cows mooing. It made a great base for some lovely walks into the peaks. The campsite is simple with wash facilities for pots if needed, unisex toilets that were clean and showers. There are more portapotties dotted around the campsite so that you don’t always have to walk to the main toilet block.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The campsite was much bigger than expected. The site had all facilities that we're kept up to really good standards. The owners were very friendly and helpful with anything. It's not that common to see bins being sorted to separate rubbish and that was a nice change to see, instead of having everything thrown into same bin. Beautiful views as well.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike to be honest.

Local attractions

The fishing’s fantastic hereabouts – ask the owners where to roam with your rod – as are all the subterranean spots for exploring. Poole's Cavern & Buxton Country Park is well worth a wander, while the Pavilion Gardens are tip-top for botanical buffs (both 15 minutes' drive). Holidaying with pint-sized travellers? Matlock Bath (25 minutes) is a brill option for family-filled days out at the amusement centres or on the kids’ rides at Gulliver's Kingdom, and if anyone in the clan has a sweet tooth, making a beeline for Bakewell (15 minutes) to try the famed tart (or is it a pudding…? either way, it’s delicious) is a must. From here, it’s another 15 minutes to Chatsworth House, one of the most well-known country homes in England because of its jaw-droppingly huge 1600s facade and massive collections of fancy paintings, Old Master drawings and neoclassical sculptures.
