What customers say

Crossgate Farm Campsite is praised for its stunning views, friendly staff, and on-site cafe/bar. Visitors enjoyed the animals, particularly the goats, and found the location ideal for walks. Facilities are generally described as clean and new, though some reviews mention issues with portable toilets and a lack of dedicated dishwashing areas. The site's hilly terrain is noted by several guests, with some finding pitches sloped. Despite basic facilities, many reviewers would recommend and return.

Emily M.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved the animals, loads of space to pitch tent and friendly staff. Also very clean facilities.

Disliked There was a nice barn with a bar that also served food, but unfortunately there was a private event on that weekend so we couldn’t use it. This was one of the reasons we picked this campsite so we could use that facility at night, so it should state on the website when there is going to be private events and the barn area is out of use so you are not disappointed when you get there.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: BOOKINGS ARE MADE WELL IN ADVANCE FOR CAMPING, BUT SOMETIMES EVENTS ARE BOOKED CLOSE TO THE EVENT, ITS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF EVENTS THAT ARE BEING HELD IN THE BARN.
THE COW SHED IS A GREAT FACILITY IF IT IS NOT ALREADY BEING HIRED OUT FOR PRIVATE EVENTS AND IN MANY OCCASIONS PEOPLE ARE HAPPY TO SHARE, BUT WEDDINGS ARE A BIT DIFFERENT.

barry m.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked good location

Disliked big field , but too many tents close together, no privacy. tent allowed to pitch right on top of me, compounded by a fire, with smoke blowing in my tent and car. i am a recovering Asthmatic, why is this permitted ?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Seriously Barry? You arrived on a Thursday, there were about 5 other tents on a 6 acre field.
The fact you are a recovering asthmatic is hardly the campsites fault or neighbouring campers.
You sound more like a grumpy old man who was upset because you thought your daughter had paid for the camping and she hadn't.
Our campers love the fact they can have a fire.

Lovely little farm site.

Leanne H.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Family of 3 visit 2 adults 1 child.

Campsite was clean and tidy. Able to park car next to pitch.
Washroom/showers clean and well maintained.
Washing up area available with warm water and soap, sheltered

Did not use the bar and cafe but looked very nice. A wedding took place the weekend we were there and not disrupt our weekend at all.

Horses, goats and peacocks on site, great for the whole family.

Walked to the bulls head for some food and walked the seven falls Hike. The weather was kind to us.

Would highly recommend this campsite. Will definitely be returning!

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great campsite, amazing views and walks nearby, relaxed atmosphere, and goats!! Toilets and showers were always spotless.

Disliked On a hill so not many flat pitches, may be an issue if busy but it was quiet when I was there so always managed to get a good spot.

Local attractions

There’s bike hire in Hadfield (five minutes’ drive) for cyclists keen to embark on the Pennine Cycleway Route 68, which can be accessed from the camping field along with the Pennine Bridleway and Trans Pennine Trail. There is a connection to the Pennine Way at Torside Reservoir (10 minutes). If you’re just not that into the long-distance, serious hiking stuff, you can still get plenty of bracing Derbyshire air fishing at Arnfield Fly Fishery (five minutes’ walk), practising your swing on 18-hole golf courses (20 minutes) and exploring Pennine trails on horseback (15 minutes). Birdwatchers might get lucky and see curlews and red grouse flitting around the water at Dove Stone Nature Reserve (25 minutes), or woodpeckers, long-tailed tits and owls at Eastwood Nature Reserve (10 minutes). Keep an eye out for hares, red grouse and warblers as you circumnavigate Ladybower Reservoir (half an hour), or see if you can spot harriers high above rugged Kinder Scout (50 minutes).
