  • Family-run campsite on a working farm near Clowne in Derbyshire
  • Half an hour’s drive to the Peak District; Chatsworth House 40 minutes
  • Fishing pond and farm shop; direct access to walks and bike rides
Ramblers, fishing folk, families and their dogs – all are welcome at Stanfree Road Farm’s almost-wild campsite near Clowne and Chesterfield in Derbyshire. Set in rolling fields on a small working farm, this family-run site is a handy base for pottering around the Peak District, while keen anglers will probably want to stay behind and cast a line or two on the pond. Simple facilities out on the camping field include a toilet and shower block; there’s no lighting on site, so just make sure to bring along torches for the nighttime. At the handy family-run farm shop, you can pick up fresh eggs for a breakfast fry-up, as well as home-reared, grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef for the evening barbecue (bring your own barbecue with you, ta). Vehicles are allowed on the meadow for pitching and packing-up purposes only, leaving the campsite safe for kids (and dogs on leads) to play safely. Parking is provided adjacent to the field.

What customers say

Stanfree Farm's a ripper for a peaceful escape, with friendly hosts and comfy pods/shepherd's huts. Toilets and showers are usually spotless. The farm shop and food van are big hits. Some found pitches a bit wonky or the road noisy, but most rave about the chill vibes and great value. They're sprucing things up too!

Angus camping pod

Liked Absolute gem of a place! ❤️

The check-in process was really easy and straightforward, and when we arrived our Angus pod was ready, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Pots, cutlery, glasses etc. are all provided and tucked away under the cooker, which was really handy.

The beds were nice and comfortable, and we loved the little outdoor area overlooking the fields. We made good use of the firepit and, of course, had toasting marshmallows — because no little getaway is complete without them! 🔥

The onsite fishing was so peaceful, and the highlight for us was watching our little boy catch his first ever fish! 🎣 It was lovely having somewhere outdoors where we could just spend time together and escape the screens for a while.

The butchers shop and the staff are absolutely brilliant. Everyone made us feel so welcome, and the tomato sausages were lush! 🤤

We happened to stay during the opening of the new pub. We had our little one with us, so we didn't get to make use of it ourselves (even though we knew kids are welcome), but the live music sounded brilliant and everyone looked like they were having a fantastic time. I'm sure it will be a huge success.

The shared toilet and shower facilities were well maintained and, as we stayed during the opening of the new pub, they were understandably quite busy at times. We occasionally had to wait, but it really wasn't an issue for us. We took a little portable camping toilet with us, which was especially handy at night with our little one, and we'd definitely recommend doing the same if you're bringing young children.

Overall, we made so many lovely memories with our little boy that we're sure he'll remember for years to come. It was exactly the kind of little break we needed, and we 100% will be back! ❤️🎣

Disliked Nothing! We would love to come back!

Liked Quiet, no fuss site with easy walk to supermarkets in Clowne
Relaxed and easy going. We commented how nice it was finding a campsite not plastered with signs and rules !
Facilities were good , full marks would have been given if they had been cleaned more during our 10 day stay.

Local attractions

For active family days out in the fresh air, Clowne Branchline Greenway (15 minutes by bike) promises gentle rides along a former railway line. It links into the multi-use Archaeological Way, which passes old collieries on its way to the gorge and museum at Creswell Crags (both half an hour). There are more adventures to be had in the Peak District National Park (half an hour’s drive), like hiking along the banks of the River Derwent or maybe testing yourselves on a section of the Pennine Way from Edale (an hour). If you’d like to tick a few stately piles off your to-see list, the spectacular Chatsworth House (40 minutes) is open for tours of its sumptuous apartments and scenic walks through landscaped grounds. Nearby is majestic Hardwick Hall (20 minutes), where you can admire Elizabethan architecture at its best, while at hillside Bolsover Castle (10 minutes) there is a circular rampart walk with views over the Vale of Scarsdale. Still not had your fill of history? Head to Chesterfield (20 minutes) to marvel at the twisted steeple on the Crooked Spire church.
