  • Family-run campsite in a scenic Peak District location
  • Bakewell 15 minutes' drive; Chatsworth 20 minutes
  • Separate adults-only and family-friendly camping fields in White Peak
Burrow down surrounded by typical Derbyshire farmland at Knotlow Farm, a friendly family-run farm campsite in the scenic White Peak area of the Peak District National Park. That’s your first step… and the second? Perhaps renting a bicycle from Parsley Hay, 10 minutes’ drive away, to pedal out over Peak District landscapes, or maybe whisking your four-legged friends off on an outdoor adventure – after all, they’re welcome here too. This rural break is a top choice for a variety of travellers because of its separate adults-only and family-friendly pitching areas. The site has a washing-up area, toilets and hot showers (plus a family bathroom with changing area) too, making it easy to refresh yourself at the end of a long day trekking through the local countryside or exploring some of the area's top tourist attractions… There are many of those nearby, by the way. Set just outside the small hamlet of Flagg, Knotlow Farm is a quarter of an hour's drive from market towns like Bakewell and 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire must-sees like Chatsworth House. There is also a small on-site shop to bag essential groceries and sweets, but if you're not in the mood for cooking, grab one of the site’s home-made pizzas every evening. There are breakfasts available every morning and fire baskets can also be hired too (with logs for sale), just in case you're after that extra little bit of evening ambience…

What customers say

A well-kept, roomy campsite in a peaceful rural spot, perfect for Peak District hikes. Praised for spotless facilities. On-site pizza, shop, and fire pits are hits. Staff are great. Some sloping pitches and occasional aircraft noise noted.

Liked It all depends on what you’re looking for when you camp. Some people rate wilderness, some rate facilities.
For me:

You can do pleasant walk to Monyash with do epic steak sarnies and nice atmosphere.
Lots of fields on site -do have options to be ‘remote’ rather than everyone on one field.
If you want it- there’s pizzas, a shop, whole toilet and shower block.
Friendly staff.

Looks like a great family young kids friendly site

Disliked Again for me personally- it felt more commercial, mapped out fields, quite busy.

Long walk to the toilet block.
If you’re after wild camp feel, not for me personally

Excellent camp site. Clean facilities, proper toilet and shower block. Lovely sausage,…

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site (family)

Liked Site was very peaceful, showers and pot wash sinks were nice and hot/clean, friendly staff.

Disliked There are plenty of spaces that are level but some pitches are on an incline. The toilet block wasn’t too far for us personally but may have been to those at the other end of the site. Wasps were ok for us as adults but may have been a bit of a pain for younger children (probably seasonal but we had a wasp trap which helped distract them!)

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (adults only)

Liked Lovely hosts, beautiful view, clean toilet/shower block, pizzas were delicious and overall lovely feel to the campsite. Lots of great attractions near and easy to get around the area via car. I think it was a great price overall. I heard people complain about the 20p coins needed for showers but it was no bother at all, and I used 5 20p coins for my showers to get 10mins in the shower which is good. Lots of washing up sinks too and there was even a water tap close to our field which was nice and convenient. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the site.

Disliked Little bit of a walk to the shower block but it wasn't too bad. In the showers there's no real dry section really so the floor of the whole cubicle can get damp where you're getting dressed after the shower (I personally prefer when showers have a curtain and a small space behind the curtain within the whole cubicle so that remains dry). That said, it was always clean and showers work well, it was nice and quiet around 7am.
Also, a family with a small child did end up pitching by us in the adults only area which was quite annoying but luckily they left before us.

Local attractions

Those of you who want to glide past the sloping Peak District countryside can get started on the Tissington Trail (10 minutes’ drive). The old railway track is suited to wheels or walking boats, and the historic setting will get you ready for more historical sites… Those include Chatsworth House (20 minutes) and its peaceful grounds, excellent for a picnic and a walk, and the Nine Ladies stone circle (20 minutes). Legend has it each stone was once a lady punished for dancing on a Sunday. You may soon be dancing yourself - even on a Sunday - after a tour of Buxton (15 minutes) or Bakewell (15 minutes). Both characterful Peak District towns are packed with pubs, restaurants and cafés, and of course, in Bakewell, the speciality is Bakewell tarts. Down Chatsworth House way is Chesterfield (35 minutes) too – a destination for all things theatre, golfing and gourmet eats – but further on, it’s easy enough to get to Alton Towers (45 minutes) for a thrills-geared day.
