  • Grass pitches on a farm overlooking Arnfield Reservoir, Derbyshire
  • On the Trans Pennine Trail and 10 minutes’ drive from the Pennine Way
  • Walking and cycling accessible from the site; café-bar on site
Keen to get some hiking in? Crossgate Farm Campsite may be just the spot for you. Set on a working farm with views over Arnfield Reservoir and Longdendale on the outskirts of Tintwistle, Derbyshire, this is a smashing place for walkers and bikers, as guests have direct access to the Trans Pennine Trail, the Pennine Bridleway and Pennine Cycleway Route 68 from the site. Pick-up from public transport can also be arranged so you don’t need to worry about bringing a car. You can pitch up pretty much anywhere you want in the slightly sloping camping field, and while dogs are welcome on your Derbyshire farm stay, please keep them on a lead around the cattle. You’ll also probably be joined at some stage by the free-range chicks, guinea fowls and peacocks. Amenities-wise, the site has toilets and showers with separate male and female facilities. There is a café-bar on site, but if you prefer to do your own meal prep, barbecues are permitted on the camping field (bring your own gear). The village of Hollingworth (five minutes’ drive) has a small convenience store as well as pubs and takeaways.

What customers say

Great views & chilled vibe, with legends staff & a handy cafe/bar. Campfires & BBQs okay. New loos (Spring 2025) are top-notch, but older reviews mentioned dodgy portable dunny situation and no hot water. Most spots are a bit sloped.

Unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked We came to cross gate Farm as a couples one night camping. We really enjoyed our visit. We live in Manchester so the location for one night was perfect. The campsite its self was lovely and clean and well kept. We were on the hay field which was adults only, we had a perfect view of the fishery, hills and surrounding area as well as being close to the amenities. We had our tea at the cafe which was a lovely pizza with chips and a beer each. Very reasonably priced.

Disliked Nothing

Unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked The staff are amazing, the toilets and showers are constantly cleaned. The food was beautiful and the animals and views topped it off.

Disliked I personally feel the fire pit hire is a bit expensive at £15 when you don’t get any firefighter or matches to go with it.

Local attractions

There’s bike hire in Hadfield (five minutes’ drive) for cyclists keen to embark on the Pennine Cycleway Route 68, which can be accessed from the camping field along with the Pennine Bridleway and Trans Pennine Trail. There is a connection to the Pennine Way at Torside Reservoir (10 minutes). If you’re just not that into the long-distance, serious hiking stuff, you can still get plenty of bracing Derbyshire air fishing at Arnfield Fly Fishery (five minutes’ walk), practising your swing on 18-hole golf courses (20 minutes) and exploring Pennine trails on horseback (15 minutes). Birdwatchers might get lucky and see curlews and red grouse flitting around the water at Dove Stone Nature Reserve (25 minutes), or woodpeckers, long-tailed tits and owls at Eastwood Nature Reserve (10 minutes). Keep an eye out for hares, red grouse and warblers as you circumnavigate Ladybower Reservoir (half an hour), or see if you can spot harriers high above rugged Kinder Scout (50 minutes).
