Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The views from the campsite were absolutely gorgeous. Ed was so helpful and really attentive, ensuring that we had the best camping experience. The plots were very well sized and the facilities were clean and plentiful. We hired a fire pit which came with a generous helping of logs and firelighters and the location was exceptional for local amenities in Ashbourne and Kniveton. We will definitely be visiting in the future.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Peaceful with lovely views. There are picnic tables available so saved us taking our camping chairs and table. We love the back to basics aspect of camping which this site is with portaloos etc. Ed is such a lovely and welcoming host, he made felt very comfortable. We like to go when it's not too busy, and try to get a quiet pitch away from people, which we managed to do on both our stays.

A proper old skool camping experience!
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Thorpe Cloud View is perfect for a no thrills camping experience with spectacular views of the Derbyshire hills.
Ed couldn’t be more helpful, very friendly and laid back approach.
Choose your own pitch. Pitches are relatively flat and staggered up the hill so you never have another camper blocking your view.
Facilities are good, clean but basic.
You can have a fire/bbq, Ed has these to hire for £12 including wood.
Plenty of space for younger children to run around but if they need entertainment this isn’t the site for you. Walks from the doorstep. Amazing sunset and star gazing on a clear day.
Remember this is a working farm and so isn’t picture perfect but the views are. We loved it!
Disliked Satnav does take you there but No visible signage on the road, so I did a couple of laps on the lane until a friendly farmer directed me - a small grumble
