  • Rural and peaceful Peak District farm with animals including llamas
  • A five-minute drive to cycling on the Monsal Trail and 15 to Bakewell
  • Tideswell, Castleton, Bamford and Chatsworth all within 20 minutes
Who needs to organise a hol all the way over in South America when you can linger beside the llamas at Five Acres Farm Campsite in Derbyshire? This park full of furry, friendly animals may not be within spitting distance of treks to Macchu Picchu, but it does have Peak District paths for hikes and cycle rides on the Monsal Trail starting from a five-minute drive away. The views are also nothing short of lush: the site is surrounded by wide open fields, and walks can be had without needing to get in the car towards the nearest settlement of Wardlow and up to Hay Cop (20 minutes on foot) for a look over the local landscape. If you’d rather dig into dessert than dawdle, the tarts and puddings of countrywide renown are at Bakewell, the only market town in the Peak District and a 15-minute drive from the site. Not too stuffed to think about stocking up on supplies after sampling the wares? Food stores are here too and other urban areas worth a wander for chocolate-box houses and cutesy craft shops include Tideswell, Castleton, Bamford and Chatsworth, all within 20 minutes. Plenty other activities can be had in these towns too: Tideswell’s got the impressive St John the Baptist Church to have a gander at; Castleton’s known for its caverns where the famed Blue John stone is mined, and Bamford has three different dams to trek around. Chatsworth, meanwhile, is home to swanky stately mansion Chatsworth House – yep, that one mentioned in Pride and Prejudice and regularly voted Britain's top country house.

What customers say

Tá an campa seo glan, álainn, le radhairc iontacha. Molann aíonna na háiteanna leathana, na hoibrithe cairdiúla, agus an suaimhneas. Tá tine-pití ar fáil ar cíos, agus tá an suíomh iontach le haghaidh siúlóidí agus cuairteanna ar nithe in aice láimhe. Tá roinnt aíonna tar éis fadhbanna a thabhairt faoi deara le brú uisce na cithfholcadáin agus an teocht, agus ag amanna gnóthacha, d'fhéadfadh go mbeadh scuainí ann do na saoráidí. Ar an iomlán, tá sé seo go mór molta le haghaidh saoire scíth a ligean.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Everything. The toilets are immaculate and there’s plenty of them. The washing up area is fab, stocked with bowls and washing up liquid. We didn’t use the showers but they looked clean and with a little changing area inside they were just what you need when camping.

The woodshed housed fridges and freezers to re-freeze ice packs which is very handy.

The pitches are spacious and flat and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. The farmland is very picturesque and we loved listening to the animals in the nearby fields.

The campsite is well laid out and the staff are friendly and welcoming. We even had a hedgehog visit in the night to steal our dogs dry food 🤣

Disliked Nothing! Not being able to have a fire pit was disappointing BUT we totally understood the reasoning due to the hot weather. We just ate our marshmallows raw… 🤣

Local attractions

If guests do decide to give pedal pushing on the 8.5-mile and traffic-free Monsal Trail a go, they can use it to reach Bakewell, stopping at Monsal Head on their merry way for views of the River Wye and the Headstone Viaduct. For leisurely walks with typically stunning Peak District views, try Mam Tor or the Ladybower Reservoir (both around 20 minutes’ drive away); hardier hikers can take on an expedition to Kinder Scout, 40 minutes' drive away, to scale the national park’s highest point. Or, if you’d rather do your sightseeing underground, boat trips through Speedwell Cavern are 20 minutes away...
