  • Small, friendly Peak District site close to several walking trails
  • A 10-minute drive to Buxton and Bakewell and 20 minutes to Chatsworth
  • Dog-friendly pitches; several pubs within a five-minute drive
For peaceful times in the Peak District National Park take a look at Longfield Farm, a small and friendly site surrounded by Derbyshire countryside. A 10-minute drive from the spa town of Buxton and the medieval town of Bakewell, the pitches here are well situated for all sorts of alfresco activities. In the surrounding Peak District, guests can pull on their walking boots and get stuck into several good hikes along the likes of the Tissington Trail and the Monsal Trail, each within a 25-minute drive. Dogs should find plenty to sniff out on countryside walks too, and cyclists can make use of the area's many dirt paths. For other outdoor activities to get the heart racing, there's kayaking, windsurfing and fly fishing 30 minutes away at Carsington Water, including taster sessions for first-timers. After all this, put your feet up at one of the local country pubs. Handily, there are several within a five-minute drive, including one with a large playground to let the kids blow off some steam while you nurse a well-deserved pint. This is a simple site with basic facilities only, but you’ll have access to water points, three toilets and a shower. If you don’t fancy a bite to eat from one of the local pubs, you're welcome to light up your own barbecue instead. Both Buxton and Bakewell have a good selection of supermarkets, or you can head to one of several local farm shops for meat and extras to put on the grill.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: I stayed here on my own for the first night as my partner was joining me the next day and I felt very safe. The site is very peaceful with beautiful views. The farm animals are a added bonus with lambs, goats, emus, donkeys and more! Great area to stay in as easy access to some great places. Lovely pub only 5 minutes drive called the Queens Arms in Taddington, would Highley recommend for food 😊

Liked: Nice big hardstanding pitches with lots of room, very well maintained site. Friendly site manager. Allow fires which was needed cos it was freezing.

Disliked: Electric hookup wasn't working, which I am sure would have got fixed if I had reported it but it was late and we were only there for the night

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Grass areas looked clean and would be nice for summer months.

Disliked: Overpriced for the quality of the facilities. It's only worth around £22 per night for a caravan. Grass is very boggy. Site directions as advised on pitch up are completely wrong and the owners should be using what 3 words for the site entrance. Location is not great for walking and cycling. Very windy as located high on top of a hill. Approach road is long and bumpy so need to drive with caravan very slowly. Hard standings are too narrow and if you want to use an awning, you are likely to be setting it up on mud. You call on arrival but owners do not keep tally of bookings so weren't expecting us.

Route directions

The entrance to the site is on Flagg Lane (not The Jarnett). There is a signpost opposite the turning for Long Field Farm and Lane End Farm Trust. Look out for the fixed sheep pens at the top of the track, then follow the lane down to the site entrance on the right and look for your numbered pitch. If you type Lane End Farm Trust into your sat nav that should take you to the campsite.

Local attractions

If your walking boots are a camping essential, take them over to the Tissington Trail for a fine 13-mile route through the Derbyshire countryside. The route commences a 25-minute drive away in Ashbourne. For a shorter trail, the Monsal Trail is 15 minutes away – it's easier on the feet with a less demanding 8.5-mile route. For adrenaline seekers, Carsington Water is half an hour’s drive away. Here, you can hire kayaking kit or try out windsurfing if you're feeling extra ambitious. If watersports aren't your strong suit, their taster sessions will help to ease you in to the relevant techniques. For other activities that will raise your heart rate, there’s an outdoor pool in Hathersage 25 minutes away and several indoor pools within a 25-minute drive. Further afield, take a whirl on the rollercoasters at Alton Towers, a 40-minute drive away and with plenty to fill a full day. At Matlock Farm Park (30 minutes), a collection of cute animals should keep kids entertained; they can give horse riding a go too or gently feed the lambs if they're seeking some quieter time.
