  • Peaceful back to basics site in the Peak District National Park
  • Five minutes' drive from Tideswell and the Monsal Trail
  • A 10-minute drive from Bakewell and 20 from the Chatsworth Estate
What a little Derbyshire gem: back to basics Whitehouse Farm Campsite is a simple site in a most scenic setting five minutes’ drive from the pretty village of Tideswell. The site’s central location in the Peak District National Park means it’s a top spot for those who want to ramble or ride bikes – several circular trails leave from Tideswell and the traffic-free Monsal Trail is a five-minute drive away. And there’s plenty more activity if you require it too, as activity centres nearby can sort you out days of horse riding, abseiling, climbing and caving. All this activity isn’t mandatory, of course – this is an equally fine location for days pottering off to local pubs, pigging out on pudding in Bakewell or taking a leisurely stroll around the Chatsworth Estate, 20 minutes away. And if even that’s too much, you’d be welcome to spend some time loafing about on site: there’s heaps of space here, and as facilities have been kept quite minimal (just showers and toilets) there should be a good serving of peace and quiet to go with it all. Guests are welcome to light up a barbecue or campfire for cookouts and keeping warm; Tideswell’s the place for supermarket supplies, and it’s also handily got a fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs for days when your firelighting skills aren't up to much.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Very well looked after camping site with great communication and kind people. We called as soon as we arrived and was told to pitch a spot and check in would be later in the evening. Checking in was great, no issues whatsoever. It got very busy but everybody was very respectful. Will happily stay here again

Disliked: Nothing!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Location and the showers very hot and toilet block very clean and easy to find site with lots of walks and Bakewell which was beautiful only ten mins in car away .

Disliked: Only takes one rude drunk family to keep the camp up until early hours with loud music and foul mouthed chat way into the early hours after politely being told a number of times . Everyone likes a laugh and chill out but not until 3.30am when signs clearly say be respectful after 10pm 😡

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: The showers and toilet facilities as well as the very scenic area this campsite is located.

Disliked: It was not too much of an issue but as advised we adhered to the rule of lights out and be quiet after 10pm, we could all still hear other campers talking very loudly and playing music after this time.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Campsite was nicely kept and level. The facilities were kept clean at all times. No-fuss check in procedure.

Disliked: No shelfs in the shower cubicles - could use with something to place your stuff on other than a hook. One of the sinks in the toilet facilities was leaking making the floor a bit slippery.

Local attractions

Boots and bikes at the ready – this is a frankly fab area for both ways of gadding about. Quiet lanes and footpaths await just outside the site, and there are hundreds more to explore around the national park. A popular pick is the Monsal Trail, a nine-mile traffic-free stretch along a disused railway line, steaming its way through cuttings and tunnels. If you want to get up closer to the local limestone geology, an activity centre 15 minutes’ drive away can sort you with days of climbing, caving or abseiling. For an easier way to access the underground, take the 20-minute drive to the Blue John Cavern for a tour of the subterranean scenery. Fuel whatever antics you’ve chosen with a trip to Bakewell, 10 minutes away, to feast on the famed local puddings and tarts. For more foodie treats, there’s a fine farm shop at the Chatsworth Estate, 20 minutes away, so it’s worth calling in there once you’ve had a tour of the house, wandered through the gorgeous gardens and/or let the nippers loose at the woodland playground.
