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
Overall fantastic experience and will definitely come back again
Unpowered grass site
Liked This was a fantastic spot to camp and thoroughly enjoyed my stay , the slanting field isn't really a bother, we were happily greeted at the entrance too and facilities were basic but do everything you need them to do , wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and other campers very friendly
Disliked As expected being situated at a farm there are farmyard noises ,I could hear a peacock but never saw one this was fine but one cow out of the group just stood randomly mooing at the others for quite some time in the field behind possibly breeding season? Found myself mooing in response to myself.

Liked Loved everything about this site. Nice welcome, facilities basic but spotlessly clean and more than adequate - come on; you're on a (very hard) working farm ...you can't expect bidets and bathrobes. Yes, it is on a gentle slope but with careful consideration on arrival, there's plenty of good pitches. Seems to attract decent outdoors people (apart from one miserable cow next to me 😆)
Views over towards Crich are a good attraction. Abundant wildlife.
I was pitched and relaxing for a few hours when i realized i'd been here before ...Whatstandwell Festival 2012 !!!
Surrounding walks lead directly from farmhouse. Only excursion (drive) i did was to Lea Gardens ...a good few miles but well worth it.
Disliked Having to leave ...

A much recommended campsite.
Unpowered grass site
Liked A fabulous campsite. Large space so never feel like your on top of other campers. Felt safe as a solo female camper. Clean toilets and electric showers available, as well as a washing up area. Really easy to find and a peaceful site. Horses and cows on the farm and beautiful views. Walked to Cromford along the canal, really good location. 2nd time I've visited and it wont be the last.
Disliked Upon arrival, noone was at the check in table but sign said to book in at the house. I went to the house and rang the bell but no answer, ended up calling the number on my booking. Not really a negative, but made me slightly uncomfortable waiting at the door.
