  • Back to basics Peak District site with a view over Miller's Dale
  • A mile to the Monsal Trail; 15 minutes' drive to Buxton and Bakewell
  • Farm shop and café on site; firepits available to hire
Bunk up in a barn at Beltonville Farm for a brill time in the White Peak part of the Peak District – this site’s just a mile from the Monsal Trail and therefore splendidly placed for a strolling, cycling or horse-riding holiday in Derbyshire. When you’re not tottering along this disused railway line transformed into a pretty path, soak up the views over Miller’s Dale; the park is in an elevated position looking out across this Site of Special Scientific Interest’s rock-studded landscape. Chillout sessions are of course boosted by having nosh to chomp on, so drop by the farm shop on site before dusk to pick up bits and bobs such as local veg. The site also has its own café, the Cow Shed Café, which is open every day from 9am. Rather a meander followed by a meal out? Map your way to one of several local pubs within a three-mile radius instead for supper. This is a back to basics site but it's well maintained and stretches to such luxuries as toilets and coin-operated showers for guests’ use (the showers require £1 coins, so please bring them with you). There's also a washing-up area and facilities for people with disabilities. Wood can be purchased at the park for the firepit.

Great spot for walks with awesome views. Friendly team, good facilities (cafe, bar, shop). Live music a hit! Busy times can be noisy & crowded, with occasional shower queues or maintenance issues. Lovely rural vibe.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Good location close to Monsal Trail and local villages. Good shop and cafe.

Disliked Very busy and crowded. Not allocated pitches, free for all on field with some large groups. Camp rules state no music / noise past 10:30 but the bar in the barn was planing music until 11:30…

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Loved how close it was to climbing and bouldering locations like Stanage Edge - the main reason we came here! Members of staff were usually very helpful and friendly. The Barn Dance event was heaps of fun and a great surprise to find out that it was on when we got there! Great campsite entertainment venue, never been anywhere else like it! Also lovely local pub The Angler's Rest with beautiful beer garden on the river.

Disliked The site was fully booked for the bank holiday weekend - that's 5 women's toilets, 5 men's toilets and 4 showers to share between hundreds of people and families. I do not think the facilities could handle that many people comfortably. There should have been at least double the amount of toilets and showers, and they could have been cleaned and restocked more regularly throughout the weekend. There was often no toilet paper or hand towels by the end of the day. The water drainage in the shower I used did not work, and the entire floor of the shower cubicle was covered in an inch or two of dirty shower water by the time I had finished - I could not put back on my socks or shoes and keep my feet dry at the same time. It's a shame that the facilities were the major let down of the weekend, and considering how much money the campsite brings in, I think this could be upgraded easily.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Plenty of space, excellent cafe serving very tasty home made cakes etc. Staff friendly, welcoming and helpful. When the showers became blocked, the staff immediately sorted the problem. Very good location for walking.

Disliked This was a very busy bank holiday weekend that I stayed, the toilets and showers seemed to struggle with the numbers. They could also do with updating as they seemed a little tired. It's not often men have to queue for the toilets! Wi-Fi did not extend to the whole site.

Liked It’s a big barn with a lovely cafe, bar, entertainment and a non electric field. Get there early and find a level spot. Staff are really friendly. Great location of local pub (Anglers Rest) and the Monsal Trail hike.

Disliked Can’t fault really.

Local attractions

Squidged between Bakewell and Buxton (15 minutes’ drive from either), Beltonville has a nifty location near two of Derbyshire’s most popular towns. Make a foray to the former for River Wye wanders, passing by the medieval arched stone bridge, and the latter to see around some stunning architecture. Highlights on the heritage trail around Buxton Spa include the Georgian-era crescent, the Roman baths and the cupola-topped Devonshire Dome; for older buildings, the village of Castleton (25 minutes), lying in the lee of Mam Tor, has the Norman ruins of Peveril Castle to peer at. This spot’s also the gateway to the Blue John caves, the only places on the planet where the semi-precious Blue John stone can be found. Cast your eye over the largest intact piece ever mined on display at Treak Cliff Cavern (25 minutes), which also has some rather sizable stalactites and stalagmites for geologist types to gaze lovingly upon. Those aiming to give their walking boots a good workout here have plenty of choice: it's well located not just for the Monsal Trail and Miller's Dale but also Chee Dale, Tideswell Dale and Winnets Pass.
