  • Rural family-run site on a farm in the Peak District National Park
  • A 10-minute drive from Thor's Cave; 25 minutes to Buxton and Bakewell
  • Dog-walking area on site
There's a warm welcome all around at Hartington Hills, a farm site with helpful, friendly owners on hand. This family-run site is just under two miles from the Derbyshire village of Hartington, where there are several pubs and a few places to grab coffee. The farm is in the Peak District National Park, so it's in an excellent spot for those who want to set out on walking or cycling trails; cast your gaze a little wider and you can also easily hit stately homes, museums, activity centres and caves within half an hour’s drive. Buxton and Bakewell are both 25 minutes' drive away, and it may not have escaped the kids’ notice that the Alton Towers theme park just happens to be about half an hour's drive away… The site’s facilities include a launderette and modern bathrooms with underfloor heating, hot showers and a large wetroom for guests with reduced mobility or families hosing down wriggly kids. There is also a dedicated space for canines to let off steam.

Liked: Warm and friendly staff. Clean facilities and well kept site. Guest WiFi was good.
Appreciated as in on EE🤣

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Really tidy, Lovely and clean. Friendly staff.

Disliked: Mirror for hairdryer was too high for somebody of 5 foot, hair dryer then didn’t reach a different mirror. Small dislike wasn’t a major issue.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and feedback which is always important - we will look at the hairdryer situation. I have been wanting to replace them anyway so I will definitely take your feedback into consideration. Hopefully next time you stay we'll have shiny new ones and a better mirror placement. Thank you!

Absolutely loved our stay at Hartington Hills. Greeted by a lovely member…

Liam R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent site

Liked: Absolutely loved our stay at Hartington Hills. Greeted by a lovely member of staff on arrival and shown around the site and to our camping pitch.

The site is beautiful, well maintained, and the views are delightful. The pitch was large, nice soft grass and only a slight slope, but otherwise flat.

The on-site shop was well stocked, the toilets and shower facilities were impeccably clean (with lovely hot water), there’s a sink for washing your dishes, and there’s even a freezer where you can store your freezer packs.

There are some great walks nearby (we took one of the recommended circular walks to Hartington, provided on the website).

We don’t live far from this camp site, but, even so, we’ll definitely be staying here again.

Thank you so much HH!

Kim H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Welcomed by a lovely lady on reception who was extremely helpful throughout stay, nice pitch with fantastic views, very peaceful and relaxing stay. The shower/toilet block gets a 10 out of 10 for cleanliness, would recommend to anyone who wants to get away for a peaceful break.

Disliked: The pub was further away than I imagined by foot. Not a dislike as such, more an observation that there’s not much for children to do, more of an adult site in my opinion.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. The pub is 10-15 minutes on foot depending on your pace, there is a route through the fields which is rather lovely.

Great pitch, pretty much level. EHU and water tap on the pitch.…

Local attractions

There are walks galore to be had around the pretty Peak District National Park – some popular picks nearby include meandering along the Manifold Valley Trail from Hulme End, 15 minutes away on foot, or trots along the Tissington Trail, which starts 10 minutes away. See the world from above by crossing the treetop trails at Go Ape, 25 minutes away, or from even further above with a ride on the Heights of Abraham cable car, half an hour away. Keeping your feet firmly on the ground, there are smart stately homes to explore at Haddon Hall, half an hour away, Sudbury Hall (home to the National Trust Museum of Childhood), 40 minutes away, and the excellent Chatsworth Estate, half an hour away. If you’re up for riding hair-raising rollercoasters, it’s half an hour's drive to Alton Towers theme park; for a more relaxing ride, check out the steam trains at Churnet Valley Railway, 20 minutes away.
