What customers say
Great views, chill vibes, and top staff. Facilities are spotless. Perfect base for Peak District hikes, with a pub nearby. A bit of animal or camper noise can happen when it's busy, and a few more showers would be good, but it's a solid spot.

Nice green site, but too crowded and noisy for us.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Plenty of lovely green grass and lots of space. There were plenty of fire pits available to hire for just £5, with bags of firewood available for £10. The toilets were also cleaned fairly regularly.
Disliked The site felt quite crowded when it got busy, with around 20 tents but only two picnic tables. Most people parked next to their tents, sometimes with several cars on one pitch, and part of the field was also used as parking for the rental accommodation. There was quite a lot of noise from farm machinery and vehicles throughout the day and night. It would also have been nice to have a vending machine, kettle or somewhere to buy a few basic snacks and camping essentials. The nearby restaurant wasn’t great either.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Absolutely love this camp site. The facilities are great and the owners are lovely. I have been here a few times now and it is one of my favourite in the peaks. It is ideally located to get to lots of walks and has a few walks from the site. The views from the site are amazing for that brew in the morning. This time we had the pleasure of a cat keeping us company which was cute. Slept with me on one of the nights. This site is really amazing and fantastic value for money. Looking forward to my next visit.

Anonymous Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked Gorgeous scenery in the whole area. Farm animals to look at and pet. Friendly owner. Nice toilets, facilities were really very clean.
Great hiking in the area. Dogs were welcomed and all on lead.
Disliked Campers pitch up within centimetres of each other, if there was a fire it would quickly spread. We woke up to a tent blocking us in so they would have to unpeg their tent for us to drive our camper out. Not the owners fault but maybe over booked.

Could be a really nice site, but needs to improve in areas.
Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked The surrounding countryside is lovely and the facilities on site are good and clean.
Disliked Lack of signage on site for checking in,showers and extra toilets, freezer and charging ingredients points.
I know this wasn't just me , as two other customers arrived on site and asked me about checking in and where things were.
I did phone in to check in my arrival and was told that anywhere in the two fields was fine to pitch up. So I avoided the area designated for parking for the Shepherds Rest ( 1 small sign) and pitched to the side of the Rest and near the toilets. Not blocking the view of the shepherd's Rest and by no means impeding the parking.
The next morning it was requested that I move my tent for my 2nd night as apparently this area was also not meant to be pitched in, not clear at all!
Again better signage and also a bit more understanding, rather than "there is a sign" albeit 20 metres away and on the other side of the Shepherd's Rest would've been appreciated.
It should also be pointed out about the locality/facilities, that when it says a nice Pub within walking distance, it fails to mention that said Pub, is only open Thursday through to Sunday.

Lovely place
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Great clean camp site. Very friendly and the owner always on hand if needed. Views were magnificent. Showers and toilets were good and clean. A basic camp ground ideal for shorter stays. Lovely pub down the road too. Fire pits available if you forget yours too .
Disliked Nothing bad really. 2 showers which if you were a late riser could mean you’re queing for a while. So get up early or shower just before bed when it’s quiet.
It’s working farm with lots of sheep. So it’s leads on for the dogs. Although around the tent we were ok to throw the ball to run some energy off.
