  • Simple site in the middle of the Peak District National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Bakewell, Castleton and Blue John Cavern
  • Scenic dog-friendly site with village pub five minutes' walk
When it comes to stays in the Peak District National Park, sometimes all you need is a simple and peaceful place to lay your head for the night, with basic facilities but very little to distract you from the gorgeous views all around. (Oh, and maybe a pub within walking distance…). If that's the sort of thing you seek, you’ll likely be most happy with your lot at South View Farm Camping. This is wild-ish camping (in that it’s got a toilet block and running water), spread over roughly four acres and on a very slight incline. As well as having fabulous views over to Bradwell Edge, there’s a gliding club close by, so you may spot some folk taking to the air. As befits a wild-style site, there's a laidback atmosphere in which you'll be allowed to bring a barbecue or light up a campfire, and dogs are welcome as long as they're kept under control and on a lead. There's a sink on site for topping up your drinking water, as well as washing-up sinks and rubbish bins. And that pub? It’s a mere five-minute walk along a footpath to the village of Little Hucklow and a pint of something local in the garden or by the fire (and a meal too, if you like). For more eating options, the local villages of Bradwell and Tideswell are about five minutes' drive away and have pubs, shops and takeaways. Working up an appetite for your dinner should be straightforward here, as you’ll be pretty much right in the centre of the national park with easy access to all the top hikes, activities and attractions.

What customers say

South View Farm Camping boasts beautiful country views & roomy pitches. Guests rave about the super-clean facilities, especially the washrooms. Host Jade is a gem – friendly, helpful, and makes stays welcoming. It's peaceful, great for basic camping, and many want to return. Despite occasional wind and no showers, it's a beautiful, well-kept, highly recommended spot.

Liked Everything.
Choose where you want to go. Unlimited size. Plenty of space and hop over the style and you will find yourself at the Blind Bull pub.
There is a small block of toilets and sinks to wash up. Will definitely be going again

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We had a lovely family weekend at south view farm. The scenery is lovely. The owners are very friendly. The toilets are nice and clean. We enqired about a fire pit hire on the phone and they dropped it off to right to our tent. Lots of space on the pitches. The kids loved feeding the chickens. And we got some of the free range eggs for our breakfast. Lovely place we will stay here again.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We had a fantastic weekend stay at South View Farm Camping. The site was peaceful, well-maintained, and had beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The facilities were clean and everything was clearly looked after, making our stay comfortable and stress-free.

The location was perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature, with plenty of space and a friendly atmosphere. The hosts were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, which made us feel right at home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away and would happily return in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful camping getaway in the Peak District!

Thank you for a lovely stay! 🌟🏕️😊

Local attractions

Where to walk first? The Peak District National Park has so many options you might find it tricky to choose – but a few local favourites include Monsal Dale (10 minutes’ drive), the Hope Valley (15 minutes) and Bamford Edge (15 minutes). Just a little further away (20 minutes) are the lovely landscapes of Mam Tor and the National Trust-owned Padley Gorge. The scenic views continue underground, too, and you’ll be well placed to see some of them as it’s only a 15-minute drive to Castleton, known for its four show caves. Take a boat tour at Speedwell Cavern, see the illuminated caves of Blue John Cavern or Treak Cliff Cavern or visit the only completely natural cave of the four at Peak Cavern. Back up at ground level, it’s worth visiting both the pudding hotspot of Bakewell (15 minutes) and the smart spa town of Buxton (20 minutes), and planning a full day at Chatsworth (20 minutes), which has a farmyard, playground and gardens as well as tours of the ornate mansion.
