  • Rural family-run site on a farm in the Peak District National Park
  • A 10-minute drive from Thor's Cave; 25 minutes to Buxton and Bakewell
  • Dog-walking area on site
There's a warm welcome all around at Hartington Hills, a farm site with helpful, friendly owners on hand. This family-run site is just under two miles from the Derbyshire village of Hartington, where there are several pubs and a few places to grab coffee. The farm is in the Peak District National Park, so it's in an excellent spot for those who want to set out on walking or cycling trails; cast your gaze a little wider and you can also easily hit stately homes, museums, activity centres and caves within half an hour’s drive. Buxton and Bakewell are both 25 minutes' drive away, and it may not have escaped the kids’ notice that the Alton Towers theme park just happens to be about half an hour's drive away… The site’s facilities include a launderette and modern bathrooms with underfloor heating, hot showers and a large wetroom for guests with reduced mobility or families hosing down wriggly kids. There is also a dedicated space for canines to let off steam.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Had a lovely couple of nights in a small tent with my two lads 15/19. Lovely jolly greeting by the lady on reception and she showed us to our space. Hired a log burner which was nice to sit around and chat. The facilities are amazing. Great toilet and shower block. Really clean and always available to use due to the number of people on site. Overall a lovely stay and would definitely come again.

Garrett L.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked This is a really lovely, quiet site nestled in the Derbyshire countryside within easy reach of the many beautiful areas the Peak District has to offer. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Facilities are really clean with lovely free showers in spacious cubicles. The site itself is really well tended. As others have mentioned, some hard standing pitches slope slightly, which is evident from the pictures on the campsite website but nothing that cannot be rectified with some ramp blocks. I notice some reviewers have marked the site down for the cost of a pitch but I think it is a decent price to pay for such a well cared for site with free showers, good wifi and a well stocked shop of local produce and sundries. . Highly recommended.

Local attractions

There are walks galore to be had around the pretty Peak District National Park – some popular picks nearby include meandering along the Manifold Valley Trail from Hulme End, 15 minutes away on foot, or trots along the Tissington Trail, which starts 10 minutes away. See the world from above by crossing the treetop trails at Go Ape, 25 minutes away, or from even further above with a ride on the Heights of Abraham cable car, half an hour away. Keeping your feet firmly on the ground, there are smart stately homes to explore at Haddon Hall, half an hour away, Sudbury Hall (home to the National Trust Museum of Childhood), 40 minutes away, and the excellent Chatsworth Estate, half an hour away. If you’re up for riding hair-raising rollercoasters, it’s half an hour's drive to Alton Towers theme park; for a more relaxing ride, check out the steam trains at Churnet Valley Railway, 20 minutes away.
