  • Spacious pitches on a family-run organic farm in the Peak District
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of Carsington Water, Ashbourne and Dovedale
  • Farm shop on site; handmade firepits provided for guests
If stunning views are a deal-maker when it comes to choosing a holiday, New House Organic Farm on the edge of the Peak District National Park might well be the place for you. It’s also a great spot if you're keen to leave a low carbon footprint and always make similar environmental considerations. A five-minute drive from the village of Kniveton, this back-to-basics site is on a 43-acre smallholding with free-range cattle, sheep and other assorted farm animals, plus a fruit orchard. The large, spacious pitches are placed in fields with loads of space, making it a great spot for family gatherings and for children to play. The site also includes wildflower meadows, woodland and hedgerows, and you don’t have to venture too far to come across a whole lot of wildlife. Composting toilets, a washing-up area and drinking water taps are the only luxuries – that’s if you don’t take into account the views of the gentle Derbyshire hills and the all-encompassing feeling of quiet (interrupted maybe by the odd cow lowing). Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but please do keep an eye on them, especially around the livestock. Ready for a hike in the Peak District? You can start easy, with Thorpe Cloud (20 minutes’ drive), whose silhouette is visible from the site; alternatively, head to Chee Dale (40 minutes’ drive), a gorge carved by the River Wye, or up Baslow Edge (45 minutes). Wherever you go, chances are you’ll have built up quite an appetite come the evening. So borrow a handmade firepit for free and hit the farm shop to stock up on organic meat and eggs or wood for the fire. If you don’t fancy cooking, walk 20 minutes to the local pub for homemade cider or food or you can take a short drive in pretty much any direction to reach a traditional pub that will serve more food along with a range of brews.

What customers say

Spacious, peaceful site with great country views. Back to basics! Hosts are friendly & helpful, composting toilets are clean, fire pits & logs are good value. Farm shop's a bonus. Most reviews rave, though a few mention no showers & occasional noise/toilet issues.

ELIZABETH F.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Such an amazing place! First time camping and when I arrived Emma made me feel so at ease. She gave me tips and helpful information, I even had some food from their farm shop which was amazing! (I highly recommend the lamb burgers) the place itself was very big, easy to get too. The views were absolutely breathtaking in every direction. Water supply very good. Toilets were immaculate! In general very clean communal areas. As travelling on my own I am wary but I felt really relaxed here 😌 I will definitely be returning!

Disliked Nothing to do with this site itself but did have some very noisy neighbours on the second night (I group of 12-14 men) luckily that was the only night they stayed

Recommend to friends Visit again

Wonderful sustainable back to basics stay.

Tiffany W.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely welcome upon arrival - we were travelling to attend an event and we’d mentioned this in our booking, the lady welcoming us kindly noted the event had been cancelled to check we knew, which was very thoughtful.
Site is beautiful! Good size and quality fields looking out over rolling hills.
Compost toilets are clean and functional - some of the best we have seen.
Great little sink for washing pots/cleaning teeth looking out over the hills.
Lots of wildlife.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

For those who are into birdwatching, Carsington Water (five minutes’ drive) has plenty of hides from where you can spy on kingfishers, grebes and buzzards. The reservoir has plenty more for outdoor enthusiasts, from canoeing and paddleboarding to trout fishing, not to mention a cycling route around the water. If the kids have joined you on hilly hikes without moaning (too much), reward them with a trip to Alton Towers (half an hour), where they can let rip on thrilling rides like rollercoasters and drop towers. There’s also a section for younger children, CBeebies Land, with adventure playgrounds and shows starring beloved characters like the Teletubbies. For something more relaxing, head to Crich Tramway Village (25 minutes), where you can ride vintage trams through a recreated period street lined with traditional and historic buildings, or stroll along the Woodland Walk taking in far-reaching views of the Derwent Valley.
