  • Family-run dairy farm and fishery with views over The Roaches
  • Short drive to Alton Towers, Peak Wildlife Park and Tittesworth Water
  • On-site farm shop and farm animals; 10 minutes' walk to two local pubs
Set on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, Brooklyn Grange Farm is a back-to-basics site on a family-run dairy farm surrounded by gorgeous Staffordshire countryside. The scenery here is varied indeed, with views over quiet fishing pools, grassy meadows and the spectacular rocky ridge known as The Roaches. You'll also be well placed to sample local produce at this small-scale site – you can head to the farm shop, which sells eggs, bacon, sausages, cheese, barbecue meats and other goodies, or grab a local ice cream, milkshake or fresh milk from the on-site Milk Barn. You're welcome to light up a barbecue, as long as it's kept off the grass. If you don't have your own, there are firepits for hire (a cash deposit is required) from the farm shop and kindling and logs for sale. There's also a village pub and carvery around 10 minutes' walk away on the edge of Thorncliffe (with another around 10 minutes' walk away in Blackshaw Moor). For more flavours, try Leek (five minutes' drive), a local market town with a good range of restaurants, cafés and food shops. After a trip to town it's back to the countryside, where you might like to try a spot of catch-and-return fishing at one of the site's well-stocked ponds (for an extra fee, to be booked and paid for at the on-site farm shop; you must have an Environment Agency licence; no fishing available during the spawning season, which is generally in late May and/or early June). You could also take yourself off for a hike in the national park (a mile away), where there are many miles of well-mapped trails to explore. As for facilities, Brooklyn Grange Farm has functional and well-maintained toilets for guests. There is one shower available here (bookable for an extra charge at the farm shop), or you can take the option of travelling five minutes down the road to Brough Park Leisure Centre.

What customers say

Family-run farm with great views, especially of The Roaches. Friendly owners, well-stocked shop. Lots of space, allows campfires, good for walks. **BUT:** toilet/shower facilities are often basic, limited, and poorly maintained. Good value for money, many would return.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked It was mine & my children’s first time at camping with our tent box. We had no clue and winged it and it turned out the best weekend we all loved it. We will definitely be returning its quiet and friendly. Lots of the children to see the animals are beautiful and the views are stunning.

Mohammad Reza B.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked It is a beautiful farm with nice animals like horeses, donkeys, goats, cows. And a peacful lake.

Disliked Unfortunately, the stay was ruined by disruptive behavior at night. A group of young men were smoking weed, shouting, and playing loud music until around 2 a.m. It was impossible to get any rest. There was no visible management or enforcement of quiet hours, making the experience stressful and exhausting. Not the peaceful retreat I was hoping for.

We had a fab weekend, we would definitely stay again.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked The staff were very friendly, the views were amazing, lovely farm shop, great pitch. Plenty of toilet roll. Clean facilities.

Disliked Could do with another toilet and the skip was absolutely full to the rafters by the end of the weekend but didn’t effect our trip.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, much appreciated - extra toilets coming soon as we have not long finished building the new septic tank to accommodate - skip people were supposed to come last week & replace, but never turned up, coming this week now

Stayed here in a roof tent, lovely views, really nice site

Katie B.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great site, good size no crowding. Clean basic facilities. Amazing well stocked farm shop on site. AND no early checkout so you can have a lie in the day you leave! Making it a full weekend for us. Loved it. Fantastic lady running the place. Animals to see. Ice creams. Fire pits. Everything we wanted. Oh and a fishing lake on site too!

Disliked Could have done with a couple more toilets

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, much appreciated - lovely to have you both on site, glad you enjoyed your stay - more loo's are on the agenda - Thanks for the photos

We will be back :)

Eleanor M.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Friendly donkeys, horses, calf’s, working farm so nice to pet them! I heard good things about the milkshake but I didn’t try one. Farm shop!
My fave thing was the fishery. So nice to camp so close to water- you could amble around it, and at dusk it was magical with birds, fish moving, semi wild horses etc. got that insignificant feeling which I seek camping! Could take picnic there too. Can’t swim in it.
Near to so many amazing sites if drive.
Farm noises and animal noises great.
View of the roaches, with beautiful sunset

Disliked No footpaths or hikes from campsite, again there’s lots drivable. But again only personally, I quite like ditching van and moseying. Tried to walk to local pub to read book, but walk was only on main roads.

1 medium field for camping. As result, awareness of other campers, smaller space between pitches. More fields like in other sites would help get that remote wild feel- but again it’s a working farm!
Maybe it was busy but little bit more claustrophobic.

£2.50 feels expensive for shower and had to book time slot in shop. But very affordable base camping rate.

Local attractions

Make your way to the wild rides of Alton Towers (20 minutes' drive), the UK's biggest theme park. If your idea of fun doesn't include days full of white-knuckle rollercoaster rides, another family-friendly option is Peak Wildlife Park (10 minutes). For those rainy days, it's not far to reach Blaze Farm and The Potty Sheep (20 minutes), an ice cream farm which also organises paint-a-pot activities. For further agreeable outings, head to the Churnet Valley Railway (15 minutes) or the Manifold Valley (10 minutes) and Thor's Cave (20 minutes). You could go hiking and climbing at The Roaches (10 minutes), visiting Lud's Church (10 minutes) as an add-on. And where else to set your sights on? Trails Day (20 minutes' walk), a centre where guests can learn to ride a trial bike, or Tittesworth Reservoir (10 minutes' drive) for watersports and walking, and Madrenaline Activities (15 minutes) for archery and axe-throwing. Rudyard Lake (15 minutes) has a miniature railway too. A bit of luxury? You'll find it in the elegant grounds of Biddulph Grange Gardens (20 minutes), a local National Trust property, or in Buxton (20 minutes), an old spa town across the border in Derbyshire with a range of plush places to eat and drink.
