  • Family-run campsite on a dairy farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Access to Lathkill Dale directly from the site
  • Woodfired pizzas and ice cream sold on site
When you’re keen to get out exploring the Derbyshire Dales, you can’t get much closer to them than Haddon Grove Farm Campsite. This welcoming, family-run caravan and camping site has direct access to spectacular Lathkill Dale from the pitches. Located on a dog-friendly working dairy farm – you are welcome to meet the cows, horses and chickens – with views to the hills and dales of the Peak District National Park, the site was established in the early 1950s and has gone from strength to strength ever since. There are separate fields for family use – with play areas and rope swings – and others for group bookings, ensuring nobody gets disturbed on site. Facilities run to a shower block and wash room, and as barbecues are allowed by the pitches in the camping fields (source any foodie bits in the pretty town of Bakewell, 10 minutes’ drive), firepits can be hired on site. Logs are sold from the small on-site shop, which – more importantly for the kids – also stocks tasty ice cream from a local farm. The site also sells woodfired pizzas, which should be handy if you fancy eating something more substantial.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Super friendly welcome by the owner. Well looked after bathrooms (they seem brand new for the season), food onsite, cooked to order. Amazing vibe with campers, caravans, runners doing the ultimate challenge and quite a few folks doing DofE in the various fields, fire pits allowed. Walkable to Lathkill Dale for excellent walks

Disliked Absolutely nothing, we'll be back for sure

Ciaran N. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great views, expansive site, recently refreshed facilities, relaxed atmosphere, incredibly friendly owners, fire pits and supplied wood are excellent (take your own kindling and firefighters). Even though it was a busy weekend (because of the weather forecast) the site didn’t feel over-run. It was busy though and - as is completely reasonable - the facilities were getting a lot of use. For the most part they coped well - no different to any other camp site at this time of year, and probably better than others because of their newness! For instance, water pressure a little low at peak times, but - hey! - you’re miles from civilisation in a gorgeous setting so that really doesn’t matter, and it was perfectly useable with patience. Fantastic walks into Lathkill direct from the site - parked up and didn’t move the car all weekend. Small shop on site, and food truck (just one this weekend) - they were very busy but food looked good if you were happy to wait a bit. You can also order pizza for delivery if the pizza truck isn’t open. Will go back, for sure.

Disliked Really warm (good) but unusually windy from the south west (not good!) - very gusty. Obviously there’s nothing the site owners can do about this 😁 but be aware the site is largely exposed.

Liked Such a lovely campsite, loads of options for pitches as the space is huge! Friendly staff, lovely views and clean onsite toilets and showers. The woodfired pizzas sold out super quickly so we didn’t get chance to try but will definitely be back again to give them a go! Would definitely recommend!!

Disliked Nothing, lovely campsite

Local attractions

Scenic walks are to be had along the namesake river in Lathkill Dale, where you can stride out towards Lathkill Head Cave (an hour and 20 minutes’ walk) or marvel at the clear springs at The Blue Waters near the peaceful village of Over Haddon (35 minutes). For a slightly longer ramble, Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (90 minutes) reward with prehistoric monuments and ancient burial mounds. Combine your stroll around the verdant grounds at Chatsworth House with a guided tour of the mansion’s ornate rooms packed with priceless antiques, or take in the Elizabethan Walled Gardens at Haddon Hall (both 20 minutes’ drive) after you’ve admired the tapestry collection and medieval chapel. For an insight into Peak District heritage, visit the bijou Eyam Museum (also 20 minutes) in the famed ‘plague village’ to learn the story of the Bubonic Plague of 1346–52, or have a wander around the deserted remains of Magpie Mine (five minutes’ drive), which was the last working lead mine in Derbyshire and closed in 1958.
