What customers say
A no-frills farm site with amazing views and a chill vibe. Guests rave about the helpful hosts, spotless loos/showers/dishwashing, and great value. While the sloped field is noted, it's manageable with rustic charm. Perfect for walks and exploring. Fire pits available.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Just what I was looking for as solo traveller on a budget.

Unpowered grass site
Liked I was looking for back to basics and good value. This provided all the facilities I required, well maintained and clean. Decent showers. Nice touches like providing washing up stuff (that I'd forgot)
Disliked No dislikes but it might be an idea to have a hardcore path to top of field. You get mighty wet shoes walking to the loo.

Unpowered grass site
Liked Good size pitches, facilities are good enough for camping, toilets, showers, drinking water. Owners are lovely too, Tina and her family were very kind, my wife lost her engagement ring at camp and they helped us find it.

Beautiful bargain camping in stunning scenery. Amazing
Unpowered grass site
Liked Beautiful, clean ground conditions in a stunning location. Extremely good value for money. I massively am impressed and grateful for the bargain prices here as it gives families and people access to a lifestyle that normally is very expensive. A brilliant little peaceful slice of heaven in the beautiful surroundings of Derbyshire.
Disliked Nothing. There isn't anything that could have been better.

Excellent site, would 1000% stay again.
Unpowered grass site
Liked Very spacious pitches, facilities were great just all you need. Hot water for washing up pots, large bag of firewood for £8. People around us were great, everybody really friendly. You can see the cows outside the toilets which was nice. Toilets had spiders and cobwebs but what do you expect it’s outside🤷🏻♀️ personally didn't care. There were showers but didn’t use them, had a look and they seemed absolutely fine would use if we needed to.
The site runners were great, very friendly, the lady and the man were so kind and welcoming. The lady I saw cleaning the toilets in the morning and the man was super lovely. Very welcoming atmosphere, beautiful views. Would definitely camp here again.
During the day we walked 45 mins to the pub but there is a cafe about 10 mins walk away. The pub was next to the tram museum, great pub and nice walk. Very uphill though, great coming back!🤣 with beautiful sunny weather we didn’t care but definitely take water with you if walking far.
No noise at night at all. Good signal, could watch a film on data. We camped next to the stream opposite horses field, beautiful to hear the stream at night. Very relaxing.
We stayed in a tent box, really enjoyed it.
Disliked The grass was a little long but we didn’t care.

Liked A warm welcome and a very peaceful site. And nice to be able to have a campfire (as long as it’s raised).
I enjoyed being able to hear the odd motorbike driving down the valley too however I know that’s not everyone’s taste

Nice quiet large place with friendly people.
Unpowered grass site
Liked Spacious, quiet, facilities all work with washing up area. Showers are free but not the most powerful you'll get. Close to a local village for all your shopping food needs
Disliked Grass was a little long but nothing you can't deal with.
