  • Family-run campsite on a working farm near Clowne in Derbyshire
  • Half an hour’s drive to the Peak District; Chatsworth House 40 minutes
  • Fishing pond and farm shop; direct access to walks and bike rides
Ramblers, fishing folk, families and their dogs – all are welcome at Stanfree Road Farm’s almost-wild campsite near Clowne and Chesterfield in Derbyshire. Set in rolling fields on a small working farm, this family-run site is a handy base for pottering around the Peak District, while keen anglers will probably want to stay behind and cast a line or two on the pond. Please note: simple facilities out on the camping field stretch to a toilet and shower room; there’s no electricity and no drinkable running water so bring torches and a supply of water from home. What there is on site is a handy family-run farm shop, where you can pick up fresh eggs for a breakfast fry up, as well as home-reared, grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef for the evening barbecue (again, bring one from home). Vehicles are allowed on the meadow for pitching and packing up purposes only, leaving the campsite safe for kids (and dogs on leads) to play safely. Parking is provided adjacent to the field.

Angus camping pod

Liked: Well set up pod with thoughtful touches and everything I needed for a cosy stay in February. Loved the butchers shop on-site too, got a cracking chicken stir fry to cook in my pod. Friendly owners made me feel welcome. I've already booked to go again!

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Looking for something a bit different en-route to the Peak District. The kids (6 and 3) loved staying with us in the shepherds hut, they didn’t want to leave the next day. Lovely setting and everything we needed for a memorable stop over.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Blown away with this Shepard's hut on arrival. Easy check in, Immaculately clean, freshest of bedding! Everything you need for this type of stay, above and beyond with the added extras of kettle, toaster, complimentary tea coffee and biscuits. Wish we could have stayed longer

Disliked: Nothing we dislike apart from not staying longer!

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: I wanted a site close to me that was inexpensive for a last minute overnight stay and this was just the thing. It was a Friday night and there was just me and then a couple in one of the two shepherd’s huts so it was nice and peaceful. Lots and lots of picnic benches there which I always think is a bonus. A little lake which is nice. Probably the biggest selling point though is the farm shop and coffee shack next to it. Bought some lovely food there and the gentleman behind the counter was so friendly.

Disliked: This is a very minor thing and it didn’t put me off but the bin when I arrived was overflowing. Likewise the toilet bins weren’t empty and the toilets themselves needed a clean. With no other guests there when I arrived I might possibly have expected a quick clean up but never mind. I hope the owner doesn’t mind me putting that and I must stress that I had a very nice time.

Local attractions

For active family days out in the fresh air, Clowne Branchline Greenway (15 minutes by bike) promises gentle rides along a former railway line. It links into the multi-use Archaeological Way, which passes old collieries on its way to the gorge and museum at Creswell Crags (both half an hour). There are more adventures to be had in the Peak District National Park (half an hour’s drive), like hiking along the banks of the River Derwent or maybe testing yourselves on a section of the Pennine Way from Edale (an hour). If you’d like to tick a few stately piles off your to-see list, the spectacular Chatsworth House (40 minutes) is open for tours of its sumptuous apartments and scenic walks through landscaped grounds. Nearby is majestic Hardwick Hall (20 minutes), where you can admire Elizabethan architecture at its best, while at hillside Bolsover Castle (10 minutes) there is a circular rampart walk with views over the Vale of Scarsdale. Still not had your fill of history? Head to Chesterfield (20 minutes) to marvel at the twisted steeple on the Crooked Spire church.
