  • 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.

What customers say

Whitehouse Farm Campsite gets props for its gorgeous setting, roomy, tidy spots, and overall cleanliness. Folks love the welcoming staff & simple booking. Facilities like restrooms & showers are reliably clean & sufficient. Most visitors have a great time, though some noted noise from fellow campers, especially at peak times, and inconsistent hot water in showers/dishwashing areas.

Liked Perfect location for walking to Monsal Head, Cressbrook Dale, Litton and Tideswell. Although it’s a budget site the toilets and showers are great and clean.

Reece P.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Really enjoyed our 2-night stay at Whitehouse Farm Campsite. The location is easy to access and offers incredible views of the surrounding landscape. Pitches were generously sized, and being able to choose your own spot was a real bonus. The grounds were very well maintained, with clean, level grass and a well-organised layout. Facilities were simple but did the job perfectly, with clean toilets, hot showers, washing-up areas, and clear waste disposal points. Everything felt well thought out, making it a relaxed and easy place to stay.

Disliked The site was fairly busy during our stay, which wasn’t a problem in itself, but there were some guests who stayed up chatting into the early hours. While this didn’t ruin our experience, it could be disruptive if you’re after a peaceful or early night. There didn’t seem to be any enforcement of quiet hours, so it really depends on the crowd that’s there at the time. Something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a more tranquil camping experience.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Beautiful views and reasonable facilities.

Disliked The site had attracted some very loud groups of people who were playing music and partying until 3am. I didn't see anyone from the site at any point during my stay. I didn't sleep great because of the noise. It's not the sites fault but it's frustrating trying to get kids to sleep with disruptive campers.

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.
