  • A small peaceful site in the heart of the Peak District
  • Chatsworth House 20 minutes’ drive; Buxton 25 minutes
  • Monsal Trail access at the bottom of the hill; village pub a mile away
Holiday-makers keen to explore the Peak District National Park and happy to forgo a few conveniences might want to book a spot at Mayfields Farm. This pop-up site on a peaceful, remote farm close to the Derbyshire villages of Litton (about a mile away) and Tideswell (five minutes’ drive) is a no-frills place: there is only a portable toilet here, and a connection to mains water. To balance that simple set-up, however… the views of the Derbyshire Dales and the Wye Valley from the motorhome pitches are pretty spectacular. Chances are that merely looking at those views will make you want to lace up your boots (or check the pressure in your bike tyres…). How convenient, then, that the Monsal Trail can be accessed within minutes, since it runs just at the bottom of the hill from the site. You might end up sharing this nine-mile long track with runners and horse riders, but there is no motorised traffic, which makes visiting Monsalhead Viaduct, Headstone Tunnel and other highlights along this route very pleasant indeed. Other walks include the (fairly challenging) three-mile circular route up Mam Tor (20 minutes), with views all the way to the Derwent Moors, and a climb up Jacob’s Ladder (40 minutes), literally a series of steps carved into the hillside. After all that activity, you might well be in need of a pint and a warming meal, both of which are served in Litton’s traditional pub, with a stone and wood interior and a jolly woodburner.

What customers say

This quiet, remote campsite has stunning valley views and a wild camping feel. Guests loved the space, simple facilities (clean portaloos, cold water), and easy booking. Great for walks and near pubs. Some found the field sloped or signage tricky on arrival. Highly recommended, many plan to return!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Absolutely perfect! So peaceful and clean with just wonderful views from any part of the field.
There was only 1 other camper there so you really could appreciate the tranquility. Walk to the pub was easy with fields of cows and sheep noisily grazing 🙂
The pub was a fab village pub that locals and walkers happily sat outside with a drink and good food.
Owner was friendly and easy to check in on the phone so totally recommend a visit.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Staying on this site felt like residing in a small piece of heaven for two days. The peace found sitting in such beautiful tranquility and quiet was a real tonic to modern everyday life. It’s a basic site but was perfect for us as we could still cook lovely hearty food and didn’t feel we compromised on anything. We will certainly be returning and the owner was lovely too.

Disliked Nothing.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Very friendly staff, easy to find, and a limited number of cars and tents are permitted. Due to the quite large field, there was plenty of room available, so we had a quiet and relaxing stay while other campsites in the area were overcrowded. I couldn't recommend it more.

Disliked The field is on a slope; wheel chocks are useful

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Good views. Quiet. Portaloos clean and fully stocked

Disliked Please be aware. If biking the Monsal trail, we found no easy route to the campsite. Most direct would likely need to lift the bike. Also steps and a very steep hill. The footpath clearly states no cycling- we did manage to cycle down it though!!

Local attractions

An opulent mansion completed in the early 18th century, Chatsworth House (20 minutes’ drive) has 25 lavish rooms, including the Painted Hall, with a chequerboard floor and a gilded gallery. The splendid gardens feature waterworks and a maze. For the kids there’s a petting farmyard, from where a secret tunnel leads to a woodland play area. In the spa town of Buxton (25 minutes), the River Wye runs through the Victorian-era Pavilion Gardens, a 23-acre landscaped area with a playground, a miniature train and a boating lake. You might want to check out the Buxton Opera House, where the programme ranges from live music and talks, to musicals and films. Meerkats and wallabies are among the animals calling Matlock Farm Park (35 minutes) home, but there are also alpacas (which you can take for a trek), Highland cattle and donkeys, plus a reptile den where you can get up close and personal with assorted slithering creatures.
