  • Rural and peaceful Peak District farm with animals including llamas
  • A five-minute drive to cycling on the Monsal Trail and 15 to Bakewell
  • Tideswell, Castleton, Bamford and Chatsworth all within 20 minutes
Who needs to organise a hol all the way over in South America when you can linger beside the llamas at Five Acres Farm Campsite in Derbyshire? This park full of furry, friendly animals may not be within spitting distance of treks to Macchu Picchu, but it does have Peak District paths for hikes and cycle rides on the Monsal Trail starting from a five-minute drive away. The views are also nothing short of lush: the site is surrounded by wide open fields, and walks can be had without needing to get in the car towards the nearest settlement of Wardlow and up to Hay Cop (20 minutes on foot) for a look over the local landscape. If you’d rather dig into dessert than dawdle, the tarts and puddings of countrywide renown are at Bakewell, the only market town in the Peak District and a 15-minute drive from the site. Not too stuffed to think about stocking up on supplies after sampling the wares? Food stores are here too and other urban areas worth a wander for chocolate-box houses and cutesy craft shops include Tideswell, Castleton, Bamford and Chatsworth, all within 20 minutes. Plenty other activities can be had in these towns too: Tideswell’s got the impressive St John the Baptist Church to have a gander at; Castleton’s known for its caverns where the famed Blue John stone is mined, and Bamford has three different dams to trek around. Chatsworth, meanwhile, is home to swanky stately mansion Chatsworth House – yep, that one mentioned in Pride and Prejudice and regularly voted Britain's top country house.

What customers say

Great campsite, spacious sites, awesome views & clean loos. Staff are legends, handy for walks & farms. Love the "pitch anywhere" rule! A few queues & some road noise but dead good overall.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked it looked as it did in the pictures, but tbh we pulled up saw how full the fields were and did a u turn, guessing it was because of Ashbourne show as every site was full, so couldn't comment on specifics.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The site was good...

Disliked We left after 2 hours of being there and booked a different camp site.

A family of at least 10 or more arrived with multiple tents, awnings and multiple children, they were drinking, screaming, shouting, blasting loud music and took over an entire section of the site all to themselves, no one from the ownership was anywhere to be seen and as to avoid having to drive almost 3 hours home we decided to just find somewhere else to stay.

I understand guests are not the fault of the ownership but I wish they were more present and had done something about them sooner, as we weren't the only people affected by that family.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Clean facilities, including toilets, showers, washing up, and fridge/freezer. Plenty of space and friendly owners. Highly recommend.

Disliked A tiny bit loud due to the noise from nearby roads but nothing that some ear plugs couldn’t fix, and the other campers were very quiet and respectful.

Local attractions

If guests do decide to give pedal pushing on the 8.5-mile and traffic-free Monsal Trail a go, they can use it to reach Bakewell, stopping at Monsal Head on their merry way for views of the River Wye and the Headstone Viaduct. For leisurely walks with typically stunning Peak District views, try Mam Tor or the Ladybower Reservoir (both around 20 minutes’ drive away); hardier hikers can take on an expedition to Kinder Scout, 40 minutes' drive away, to scale the national park’s highest point. Or, if you’d rather do your sightseeing underground, boat trips through Speedwell Cavern are 20 minutes away...
