  • Grass pitches on a farm overlooking Arnfield Reservoir, Derbyshire
  • On the Trans Pennine Trail and 10 minutes’ drive from the Pennine Way
  • Walking and cycling accessible from the site; café-bar on site
Keen to get some hiking in? Crossgate Farm Campsite may be just the spot for you. Set on a working farm with views over Arnfield Reservoir and Longdendale on the outskirts of Tintwistle, Derbyshire, this is a smashing place for walkers and bikers, as guests have direct access to the Trans Pennine Trail, the Pennine Bridleway and Pennine Cycleway Route 68 from the site. Pick-up from public transport can also be arranged so you don’t need to worry about bringing a car. You can pitch up pretty much anywhere you want in the slightly sloping camping field, and while dogs are welcome on your Derbyshire farm stay, please keep them on a lead around the cattle. You’ll also probably be joined at some stage by the free-range chicks, guinea fowls and peacocks. Amenities-wise, the site has toilets and showers with separate male and female facilities. There is a café-bar on site, but if you prefer to do your own meal prep, barbecues are permitted on the camping field (bring your own gear). The village of Hollingworth (five minutes’ drive) has a small convenience store as well as pubs and takeaways.

What customers say

Great spot with a chilled vibe, awesome views, and top facilities, including a buzzy barn bar & cafe. Friendly staff, heaps for kids (farm animals!), and ace for exploring. A few noted wonky pitches/portaloos, but overall a brilliant trip, folks keen to return.

Unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Good clear signage from main road. Great location. Excellent communication. Really laidback vibe. Friendly staff and warm welcome. Terrific views. Spotless toilet & shower block. Great location for walks. Handy for local villages and Glossop shops and eateries.

One tip : Good idea to bring cash on Tues/Weds when cafe closed, IF you need to pay any outstanding balance on your booking. There's a cashpoint in Hollingworth 5 minutes away and the Tesco Superstore 10 minutes away.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, genuinely.

Unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Location, no set pitches but still a limit to numbers so we can have a private little section or have a big group together, quality of showers, water point etc.
The cow shed bar was brilliant with lice music fresh hot food and a proper bar. A larger and gin and tonic for under a tenner

Unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked What a beautiful place! So well managed, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was perfect. Showing me around and answering any questions I had. Lots to do on the campsite - bar, restaurant, horses, pigs and goats! I stroke lucky to be able to watch an Irish band and the England game all in one night. Local shop & nice little coffee shop nearby and plenty of walks too! Loved it that much I’ve booked again for next month! Really enjoyed the pizza and chips on the first night, and of course the Poretti beer on tap!

Disliked Nothing for me on this occasion!

Liked The animals, how clean the bathroom, showers and pot wash are, the swing ball.

Disliked Not everyone knew not to feed the 'non feeding' animals. Some people stayed up after quiet time.

Local attractions

There’s bike hire in Hadfield (five minutes’ drive) for cyclists keen to embark on the Pennine Cycleway Route 68, which can be accessed from the camping field along with the Pennine Bridleway and Trans Pennine Trail. There is a connection to the Pennine Way at Torside Reservoir (10 minutes). If you’re just not that into the long-distance, serious hiking stuff, you can still get plenty of bracing Derbyshire air fishing at Arnfield Fly Fishery (five minutes’ walk), practising your swing on 18-hole golf courses (20 minutes) and exploring Pennine trails on horseback (15 minutes). Birdwatchers might get lucky and see curlews and red grouse flitting around the water at Dove Stone Nature Reserve (25 minutes), or woodpeckers, long-tailed tits and owls at Eastwood Nature Reserve (10 minutes). Keep an eye out for hares, red grouse and warblers as you circumnavigate Ladybower Reservoir (half an hour), or see if you can spot harriers high above rugged Kinder Scout (50 minutes).
