  • 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

Spacious, tidy sites with great, clean facilities. Peaceful spot, stunning views, friendly staff. Pizzas and shop are a hit. Note: many sloped pitches (Peak District typical).

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

Liked Good space available
Great location for getting to local hikes, towns and activities
Pizzas are amazing
Showers, toilets and washing up facilities
Space for children to play (although another camper in the family fields was extremely awful to my daughter as she walked through another field).
Family bathroom was a feature we didn’t need but would have really loved if we had a young family so it was very nice to see this.

Disliked It says it’s a quiet site but the large group the other side of the fence to us played music every night that usually started at 9pm.
My 11yr old daughter was verbally abused by another camper in a different field to us. This scared her so much she was afraid to go to sleep as he also had a big dog.
At the start of our stay it was extremely busy and as a result, large groups were noisy both in the evenings and early mornings. However, once the weekend finished it became much much quieter.

Great site, with plenty of space for kids to run around and play.

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

Liked Very welcoming, good value for money, fantastic service and in a great area.

Disliked The Chestnut field has very little flat spots to pitch your tent on so sleep wasn’t the best, there was a lot of people who had already pitched though so ae didn’t have a lot of choice.

Sarah W. 1 review

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (adults only)

Liked The freedom and space, the clean and well cared for facilities, the pricing is excellent - just remember the little baggie of 20p pieces for the shower! The views from the top field in Maple, the neighbours mooing away and coming to say hello at the wall…the easy stroll to the nearby farm shop with the best bacon and burgers (as well as tasty cookies, cakes and ice cream), the footpaths connecting you with Monyash and it’s cute little pub/cafe (especially popular with bikers, by the way), the hop and a skip to Buxton, Bakewell, the Tissington Trail, and the big walks and hikes around the Peak District.

I'll definitely return but I'll check the weather forecast first

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.
