What customers say
Owners super friendly, peaceful vibe & roomy spots. Kids love calf cuddling! Basic but charming. Portaloos can be tough when busy, rubbish disposal tricky. Showers would be a bonus.

Family Field unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Really liked this campsite! Very friendly people who made the effort to speak to us and ensure we were having a good time. Can pitch up where ever is available, fires allowed, no strict quiet times, no strict rules at all on this campsite we felt very relaxed and had a great weekend. Dog friendly (lots of dogs!). We visited as a group of adults with dogs in the family campsite. Food and drinks available were reasonably priced. The pitches were close together however the site didn’t feel overcrowded or too noisy even on a bank holiday weekend. The walking trail with the river was great and very close. Would definitely return!
Disliked Toilet situation wasn’t great, there wasn’t any toilet paper when I went and it was a portaloo.

Had a lovely stay and would recommend!
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site (adults only)
Liked Lovely quiet site, stayed on the adult field and plenty of room. There is a nice little walk at the end of the drive over the fields. The site had a little trailer selling pizzas, coffee and some other bits. Used it as a stopover on the way to the monsal trail as it's 20 mins away. Kids play area in the family field. Showers on site.
Disliked There are toilets on site but not the flush type on the adults field. It's just a hole with a toilet seat. There seemed to be a port a loo around on the family side though.

Great quiet spot.
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site (adults only)
Liked Plenty of space, we had a field to ourselves, our dogs loved the space and freedom. Mainly because it was early in the season but it was great none the less.
Toilets and showers available but we didn't need them as we're in a MH. Nice walk across the river and through a wild forest.
Owner and his daughter we're very friendly when dropping a firepit off. Would recommend to anyone.
Disliked Nothing.

Great location, friendly people, working on facilities.
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site (adults only)
Liked Friendly place, great woods with a stream straight from the site to walk your dog. Sheltered as a lot of sites in the Peaks are exposed, so that was nice.
Disliked Site still developing, so facilities not so great yet. I don't understand campers that think it is ok to dump your gazebo in and next to the bin.
