  • Back to basics Peak District site with a view over Millers 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 showers. There's also a washing-up area and facilities for people with disabilities. Wood can be purchased at the park for the firepit.

Unpowered grass tent site (four person)

Liked: Check-in was extremely easy. Two fields to camp in, with the higher field being huge. Flat pitch we could park next to. There were a lot of varied groups but everybody kept quiet in the evening, allowing for a good night's sleep. Firepits allowed (with wood available from the farm shop). Simple farm shop with some basic camp supplies if you missed anything. Cafe on site which serves hot food and has a bar (breakfast was divine). Toilet, pot cleaning, water and shower facilities on site were clean and readily available. But mostly the location. Camping in the Peak District is always special, but Beltonville Farm has an incredible view of Miller's Dale and is a short walk away from the River Wye.

Unpowered grass tent site (four person)

Liked: Nice views, convenient location, friendly staff

Disliked: Very loud music from the site's ticketed live music events for pop cover bands. Finished around 11pm, and completely ruined what would otherwise be a very tranquil location.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: It was the worst campsite experience I’ve ever had. Some of the staff were dismissive, unhelpful and rude. When asking for help I was told they “had things to do” After paying to stay the showers cost an extra £1 per 4 minutes on top of the already high cost for the campsite for what it is. The whole site is sloping with no flat areas. We stopped to refill our water and empty our trash and left without staying because we felt so uncomfortable with how we were treated. Would highly recommend avoiding this spot especially if it is in any way rainy or windy. Muddy slopes and massive exposed wind through the whole site. The refund policy is that you will not receive a refund unless the full your pitch, which to me seems overkill and not customer friendly at all.

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 Millers Dale but also Chee Dale, Tideswell Dale and Winnets Pass.
