What customers say
Caravans are clean, well-equipped, and in peaceful, secluded spots with lovely country views. Guests loved the private, fenced yards for dogs and the friendly, helpful hosts. Great base for exploring the Peak District, with easy access to trails and towns like Buxton and Bakewell. Many want to return for the relaxing vibe and good value. One review mentioned a bit of confusion with directions initially.

really loved it, only one there which was perfect.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked But of a confusion with Google maps when first arrived. Finally on got on camp site, only person there which was fabulously. Nice setting for my tent Nice toilets and showers, washing station for pots and pans. Lovely view, two lovely walks. Really enjoyed the site and will be back - wonder if they are open for a little Christmas camp
Disliked Directions, sent me to the static caravan. Didn't realise the drive in bit to the field was further down the road. Couldn't get in contact with the owner. By luck went to the farm down the road for Directions which turned out to be the fate camp. Had a different name on the gate, but eventually got in

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked What a gem of a campsite. The views are spectacular and the location is perfect. We particularly loved the cutout shower where you are still able to see the view! Aneta was a wonderful host, really attentive and friendly. We will be coming back whenever we stay in the Peaks.

Liked We spent 4 nights at Lower Kempshill Farm and found everything we needed there.
The caravan was clean, and the bedding smelled lovely and fresh. Fresh towels and a fully equipped kitchen were waiting for us. The first night was chilly, but we were able to warm up by the fireplace, and central heating was also available.
The caravan is set in a wonderful spot with easy access to anywhere you might want to go in the nearby Peak District. For us, it served as a great base for exploring both the hills of the Peak District and North Wales/Snowdonia.
We stayed there as a family of four (2+2) with a dog, and everyone came back extremely happy. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended!
