  • Scenic caravan site set in 50 acres’ worth of lakes and woodland
  • On the edge of the Peak District, a 20-minute drive from Bakewell
  • Dog-friendly and adults-only spot with seven fishing lakes and a café
Flock to 50 acres of wildlife-rich woodland and lakes for an escapade to the eastern edge of the Peak District National Park at Barlow Country Club. Whether you want to unwind or explore, this Derbyshire destination has you covered – being an adults-only site, it’s a few notches more peaceful than your average park and has tons of space for chilling out or having a wander amid nature. There’s also a café serving food all day for relaxed meals on base, plus a couple of pubs – and a coffee shop and a gift store – are a 15-minute walk away in the centre of Barlow. Bites can be grabbed in between carp fishing and coarse fishing at the seven lush lakes on site (and lessons are available if you’re new to the sport). For trout fishing, there is a spot 25 minutes' drive away. Those keen on kicking it around top Peak District tourist spots while here might like to take the 20-minute drive to stately homes like Chatsworth House and famed villages such as Bakewell. The park is also 25 minutes from Ladybower reservoir for roams around spectacular spots like the Upper Derwent valley. Walks are, of course, cracking on site as well with 50 acres to adventure around. Guests can also drag the dog along on dawdles as Barlow Country Club is a pet-friendly place.

What customers say

Barlow Country Club boasts spacious, private pitches offering great seclusion thanks to hedges. It's a peaceful spot for dogs and relaxation, with lovely walks and nearby pubs/cafés. While privacy and space are praised, the absence of on-site washrooms is a frequent concern for some, affecting perceived value.

Liked The set up here is exactly as advertised which suited us perfectly. We have a nervous dog so being in an individual pitch was perfect. The walk to the cafe was a little longer but the route was what we enjoy. The food and service was excellent too.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Peaceful site ,very large pitches and very private with hedges all round each pitch which is good for our dog .Nice walk around the fishing ponds and then to the pub .Had a breakfast sandwich at the pondside cafe which was lovely, recommend the cafe .

Disliked Not really a dislike just something ,I wanted to do a spot of fishing but the two lakes right next to the site are not for fishing ,maybe stock lakes I'm not sure ,so I didn't fish as the other lakes were a bit of a walk for me with my tackle ,plus they were very busy .Pity because the two unused were lovely and peaceful, would have been great to cast a line in .

Liked We found the camp site great. Shame there is no toilet that was a problem for us. The fishing was also great. We wouldn't go back unless they have a toilet.

Local attractions

Checking out Chatsworth House (20 minutes’ drive) is a must while you’re here – this stately home is set in vast parkland edged by woodland, craggy hills and heather moors, so it’s an excellent choice for explores on foot. Inside the posh pad is a sizeable collection of art, ranging from Old Masters' drawings to neoclassical sculptures. Bakewell – yes, home of the tasty tarts – is also a sweet spot for a stroll thanks to having old cottages, tiny alleys and tucked-away courtyards to totter around, as well as a river to roam beside (20 minutes). If you’re an eager trekker seeking more of a challenge, mosey along the Monsal Trail starting from Coombs Viaduct, a mile south east of Bakewell, and leading 8.5 miles to Topley Pike junction in Wye Dale, passing by Peak District hotspots like Headstone Viaduct, Cressbrook Mill and Litton Mill enroute. Further on (around 50 minutes) are other popular places for pottering around, like Dovedale valley with its wooded ravine and the 517-metre Mam Tor hill near Castleton, christened one of the Seven Wonders of the Peak by 17th-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes because of its dreamy views.
