Non-electric grass pitch
Liked friendly owners, electric showers and proper toilet block, all clean. Beautiful view over the valley to the cliffs, woods and Crich memorial tower.
The washing up area has sponges and dish soap, which is handy if you've forgotten to pack any.
Good stargazing sky too. Lovely sunset over the unobstructed back of the camping field. Should get nice aunrise views there too, if you're up earlier than I was.
Practical location to walk to, not far from the bus or train at Whatstandwell. Right in the middle of nice countryside for walking and cycling.
Disliked The whole field has a moderate slope, so there are no level pitches, but it's just about ok.
The railway noise in the valley is noticeable, which might bother light sleepers.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Campsite is great and has everything i need, and even better being in a farm, perfect location to stargaze away from light pollution. Perfect for peace and quiet, and perfect to connect with nature and wildlife. I love hearing the farm animals and birds singing
The owners are great, very friendly and welcoming and I always have a chat to them.
Location is great, a great view of crich stand aswell. Plenty of local walks to take the dogs for a wonder. Its also a great price to camp.

Rustic but cheap with great views and stress relief
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked It's rustic. Toilet block is an old farm block, the camping field slopes but there are level patches. The views are fantastic. Been 4 times this year as a final nights camp after a festival or a week away and it's the perfect wind down. We always feel better than when we arrived.
Disliked No shower curtain makes keeping shoes dry and interesting feat. It would be nice if they used some of the farm equipment to dig out some level pitches.
