  • 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.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Location, great view and friendly host. Toilets were also modern and clean. Children liked to look at the farm animals on the fields next to the site. There is pub 5 minutes walk away, however we went to the Anchor Inn (25-30 minute walk) which is a bit more child friendly.

JOHN D.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We loved the view and it's remote location.
Facilities were immaculate. Jade welcomed us as we arrived and was seen regularly around the site during our stay. There were lots of pitches in different stone walled fields that were well kept. The footpath to the pub was inviting and when we arrived at the pub it was well worth the visit.

Disliked Unfortunately during our stay it was quite windy.This could be expected but we also seem to have arrived at the same time as the wasps. They were very annoying. Obviously this was beyond the control of the site owners.
