Unpowered gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Loved the cafe/bar in the barn, great atmosphere and food was lovely. Great views.
Disliked We stayed 2 nights in 2 different spots on the field. The field was a bit too sloped for us.

Excellent, loved every minute
Unpowered gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Spacious large field, great facilities, the café bar was brilliant even had a disco night while we was there. The goats, chickens, horses and peacocks are a great addition for the kids to keep busy with. A lovely welcome from the owners, very kind. A great first camping trip for my children, they loved every minute and didnt want to leave, we even survived Storm Dave with a few bottles of buds 😂 we will be back in the summer for sure 👍🏼
Disliked Nothing

Unpowered gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Very nice location. Nice cafe and loads of animals to look at. My daughter loved feeding the goats - 50p for a bag of food.
Shower is nice and hot - 20p for 2 mins or £1 for 10.
Site was very wet but it’s rained all winter. Also sloped but it comes with being on a hill.
As other reviews have said the planes and road are noisy but I just brought ear plugs with me.

Great location for exploring Londendale
Unpowered gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Friendly welcome and freedom to choose my pitch. Site is on a bit of a slope but I got a decent flat spot and could park next to my tent.
Good, sheltered pot wash area with plenty of hot water and wash up liquid. Not many showers for such a big site, but clean and with plenty of hot water (coin op - choice of £1 or 20 p coins).
End-of Season shindig in the Barn Bar added a party atmosphere for the Friday night but didn't disturb when I turned in.
Good location to use as a base if you are looking for the Lancaster and P38 Lightning wrecks on Tintwistle Knarr (pics)
Disliked A fair amount of aircraft noise courtesy of Manchester, but you'll get that almost anywhere in the Dark Peak. A628 traffic noise (bring earplugs and you'll be fine).
Due to the washout Saturday, exiting the site next day through a sea of mud at the exit gate was a bit hairy, my car was slipping sideways more than once. Glad I wasn't in a campervan.

Well organised and a handy location.

Liked The staff were really friendly, the facilities, the breakfast food was amazing. Feeding the goats and the walks to the waterfall
Disliked Noise from planes at times but does stop through the night but not everyone in our group were bothered by it but just the light sleepers

From the manager: Thank you Ruth.
Clean facilities, friendly staff and nice animals.
Unpowered gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Loved the animals, loads of space to pitch tent and friendly staff. Also very clean facilities.
Disliked There was a nice barn with a bar that also served food, but unfortunately there was a private event on that weekend so we couldn’t use it. This was one of the reasons we picked this campsite so we could use that facility at night, so it should state on the website when there is going to be private events and the barn area is out of use so you are not disappointed when you get there.

From the manager: BOOKINGS ARE MADE WELL IN ADVANCE FOR CAMPING, BUT SOMETIMES EVENTS ARE BOOKED CLOSE TO THE EVENT, ITS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF EVENTS THAT ARE BEING HELD IN THE BARN.
THE COW SHED IS A GREAT FACILITY IF IT IS NOT ALREADY BEING HIRED OUT FOR PRIVATE EVENTS AND IN MANY OCCASIONS PEOPLE ARE HAPPY TO SHARE, BUT WEDDINGS ARE A BIT DIFFERENT.

Unpowered gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked good location
Disliked big field , but too many tents close together, no privacy. tent allowed to pitch right on top of me, compounded by a fire, with smoke blowing in my tent and car. i am a recovering Asthmatic, why is this permitted ?
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Seriously Barry? You arrived on a Thursday, there were about 5 other tents on a 6 acre field.
The fact you are a recovering asthmatic is hardly the campsites fault or neighbouring campers.
You sound more like a grumpy old man who was upset because you thought your daughter had paid for the camping and she hadn't.
Our campers love the fact they can have a fire.
