Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Lovely campsite with all the facilities you need. Fantastic value for money. Great location to walk to Bakewell either directly or via the lovely Lathkill dale along the river Lathkill. Lathkill hotel at Over Haddon is well worth a stop on a sunny day with stunning views towards Youlgreave.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: So much space, plenty of places to pitch and plenty of clean toileting facilities. Level ground with lovely walks close by.

Disliked: Having to pay for hot water to wash the pots, don’t mind having to pay for showers though as plenty of time to get showered. Have to wait a while for hot water to wash hands in the toilets.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Roomy, beautifully located. Friendly and helpful and went out of their way to assist. There were a lot of DofE participants whilst we were there but we were in separate fields and they were really well behaved, by 10pm they were in their tents and chatting quietly

Local attractions

Eating as much Bakewell pudding as you like is perfectly acceptable because of the abundance of hiking trails on which to burn off the calories (that’s your excuse and you’re sticking to it). The limestone valley of Lathkill Dale, just outside the site, is a very fine place for a walk and has some excellent birdwatching to be done along the way. Further walks await all over the Peak District National Park for all abilities. The relatively gentle paths of Mam Tor and the Ladybower Reservoir are about 40 minutes’ drive away; keen hikers in search of a challenge should aim for Kinder Scout, 50 minutes’ drive away, to climb up to the highest point in the park. A popular option for families (on foot or by bike) is the Monsal Trail (20 minutes' drive), meandering through nature reserves and underground tunnels to finish near Bakewell (for a restorative pudding perchance?). For a spot of history (or to shelter on a damp day), head to Chatsworth, a splendid estate on the banks of the Derwent river half an hour away.
