  • Back to basics site on a working farm one mile from the Monsal Trail
  • A 10-minute drive from Bakewell and Buxton; 20 minutes from Chatsworth
  • Walking trails direct from the site; nature reserve and pubs nearby
You may be whisking yourself off to the Peak District to cycle old railway lines or to go headfirst into historic halls and market towns. Whether it’s human history or the outdoors you have in mind, White Peak Camping is a peaceful patch to settle down, just one mile from the Monsal Trail, 10 minutes’ drive away from Bakewell and 20 minutes from Buxton and Chatsworth House. But, where to go from here first? Well, there is a mix of walking trails outside the site – you may want to take the track down to the old limestone quarries, biodiverse nature reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest 10 minutes’ walk away? Or perhaps to take half an hour’s walk to the Monsal Trail and hire out some wheels? There are Victorian lime kilns, Neolithic tombs and burial sites within walking distance of the site too and a short drive away, the High Peak Trail has another cycle hire. This is a family-run site in the national park and part of a scenic working farm, with comfortable basic amenities and some rather lovely views from the back of the farm. Dogs are welcome here, as long as they can behave around livestock, as there are cows, sheep and chicken residents. Handily, you'll be able to track down supplies in Bakewell. There are no shortages of places to eat here (or get your hands on some Bakewell pudding) but there are also a couple of pubs a short walk away from the site too.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Simplicity, great space with swings for young children to roam freely, scenery is beautiful, toilets were the cleanest I’d seen. The people who came and dropped off the wood were friendly.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The camping field was nice and open allowing them to run free and us to also see them. The owners were incredibly friendly. There was no fuss on arrival, drove straight in, set up and owners came round to introduce themselves in the evening. Toilets were clean and tidy. Great family feel. Kids loved the swings in the middle! Wonderful trip! Lovely walks nearby.

Bell tent

Liked: Nice location, nice basic site, friendly owner. Also, as we booked the Bell tent, it was a super easy stopovers

Disliked: The neighbours pitched up rather closer than I thought was necessary but this has nothing to do with the site or owners

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Beautiful location, lots of walks directly from the campsite. The campsite and facilities are as described, nothing fancy but perfect for the simple life of camping. Excellent value for money. Owners are friendly, and pop to the campsite each evening and introduced themselves on the first evening we were there. Also sent out a fantastic welcome pack prior to arrival with clear directions to get to the site and lots of local information.
