  • 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 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.

Jasmin S.

Unpowered grass tent site (four person)

Liked We absolutely loved our stay at Beltonville Farm Campsite! The amount of space was fantastic, you never feel cramped, and it’s such a peaceful setting with stunning views all around. The toilets are conveniently close without being too near, and they’re well maintained.

One of our favourite features was the lovely farm shop, perfect for picking up local goodies, and the on-site restaurant/bar, which had a great selection of drinks at really reasonable prices. We were lucky enough to be there when Donna Moody, a Pink tribute act, was performing, she was absolutely amazing! The show was in their big barn area, The Cow Shed, and had everyone up on their feet dancing.

The location is brilliant for exploring the surrounding area, we did the Monsal Trail which was a 15/20 minute walk down the road with stunning views!

The staff couldn’t be friendlier, they really make you feel welcome. I would wholeheartedly recommend this campsite to everyone - whether you’re a couple, a group of friends, or a family. We’ll definitely be back!

The only problem is the wifi doesn’t stretch to the whole campsite and only works in the restaurant, however this wasn’t a problem for us as we were able to disconnect from socials for a bit and live in the moment - as you should do when camping.

John H.

Unpowered grass tent site (four person)

Liked Everything.

The location is brilliant with easy access to footpaths to start you on your hike. The Anglers Rest in Millers Dale is less than a mile away and you can get there by accessing Meadow Lane at the back of the campsite and return along the Wye then up the zigzag path to Ravenstor Youth Hostel opposite the campsite.

The toilet and washing facilities are clean and functional and there are enough of them that you’re not queuing.

The cafe and cowshed are brilliant. We had breakfast in the cafe and I reckon it’s the best for miles around. We also had a drink in the bar one evening and it there was a warm and friendly atmosphere. We attended a P!nk tribute gig on our last night and the vibe was amazing.

There is a relaxed and friendly vibe to the place. Highly recommended.

Jess M.

Unpowered grass tent site (four person)

Liked Nice location, plenty of room, handy shop and really close to chee-dale stepping stones and Monsal trail. Plenty of nice toilets and doesn’t smell saying you’re on a farm.

Disliked Paid £25 for a pitch but also had to pay another £10 to get into the live music barn. Would have thought If we’d already paid to stay there wouldn’t have to pay again. Man also drove round several times telling people to be quiet quite rudely even though are music was not loud, probably making more noise in his truck driving.

From the manager: Hi there,

Thanks for your review - I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay on our campsite and its proximity to plenty of local attractions! We are always working to keep our facilities clean so I'm pleased that this was noted too.

Our live music events are organised separately to the campsite and are entirely optional, hence the charge on the door. We are also very clear about our quiet hours and we do enforce these directly - I apologise if this came across as rude but we are very busy with families with young children, and we try to ensure a peaceful stay for everybody.

Many thanks,
The team at Beltonville Farm

Olivia B.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked The views from our pitch were amazing. The farm shop and cafe were lovely too.
The ladies toilets were always clean when I used them.
On the Sunday night it was very quiet with just a few family groups.

Disliked The men’s toilets were often blocked and needed updating.
We felt that it was extremely over crowded on the Saturday night with several party groups playing loud music. We had to message the site number as we could not sleep. (Someone did come straight away and the music stopped.)
We felt £1 for only 4 minutes in the showers was a little steep - it took a while for the shower to warm up too. There also weren’t many showers for the number of the number of people staying on the Saturday night.

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.
