  • Simple, well-maintained campsite a short walk from Ashover village
  • Gulliver’s Kingdom 20 minutes’ drive and Chatsworth House 25 minutes
  • Walks direct from the pitches; pubs and shops five minutes by car
Looking for a back-to-nature site within striking distance of the Peak District National Park? Make haste to Ashover Family Farm, a rural pop-up site 15 minutes’ drive from Chesterfield in Derbyshire. You’ll be camping in a well-maintained, flat meadow sheltered by trees, and although the list of facilities is short – essentially just portable loos (including one with disabled access) in the corner of the field – you have easy access to pubs, a café and a shop selling local produce in Ashover village (15 minutes’ walk/five minutes by car). The pitches are set on a family-run farm with seasonal pick-your-own produce; there are numerous walks (dogs are welcome) from the pitches and you can be out on yomps up to the Nine Ladies Stone Circle on Stanton Moor within 15 minutes by car. You might like to note that Ashover Family Farm does not provide electric hook-ups or showers. It’s also a good idea to pack torches for tracking down the loos on starless nights.

What customers say

Great value, chill vibes! Peaceful, well-located site for a back-to-basics hols. Locals love the views, quiet, clean loos & handy spot. Hot water's basic, but that's the deal. Better signs from Kelstedge needed. Keen to come back!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Had a great family trip to Ashover family farm, we made a weekend of it by staying over on the campsite and tied it in with a visit to the sunflower field. Our family and pets all enjoyed the entire experience. The private and peaceful campsite is fantastic to give little ones freedom to explore the outdoor space. There were fresh water facilities on site and also 2 toilets which were kept clean and tidy at all times. We honestly couldn’t fault it.

The sunflower field was an an activity we could all enjoy, there was a large sandpit with plenty of items for kids to play with along with giant connect 4, swing ball & tunnels for the kids to play surrounded by amenities for parents such as a good amount of seating, toilets, an icecream & coffee van and a large amount of additional seating within a large gazebo area.

Once you entered the pick your own sunflower field there was also a quiz you could take part in and the questions were posted in various locations around the field for you to find and answer on a sheet provided. Along with this there was also the corn maze which we found highly entertaining.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Each member we spoke to was happy to help and really kind and approachable.

The prices were not extortionate, everything was reasonably priced and we were never felt like we had been overcharged. It was great value for money and so much fun.

We will be retuning again next year 1000000%
