What customers say
Spacious, friendly, relaxed campsite in a beautiful spot with river access. Welcoming owners, "back to basics" feel. Kids & dogs love the space, river, play area. Great pizza! Toilets are basic portaloos – might be tricky when busy. Good for short stays, especially if you have your own facilities.

Family Field unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Beautiful little piece of the Peak District 😍 came with my daughters for a night, last minute! Kids absolutely loved being able to walk through the river, and couldn’t get them off the play equipment! The hosts were so friendly and helpful, and do some really really nice food!! I felt it was safe enough for my kids to go n get ice creams n drinks from the food van on their own. When you get there you can literally drive round n see where you want to park up which is just brilliant. Thank you so much we will be back xx

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site (adults only)
Liked Level ground, lots of space, owned by a really friendly family. The pizzas were lovely. I can't remember the name of Katie & Alistair's daughter but she is a credit to them....an incredibly friendly young lady . Special thanks to Alistair for being so patient, and accepting, with our reactive Frenchie . It's really good that there were the two separate fields for adults and families.

Lovely location and owners who aim to accommodate as best they can
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site (adults only)
Liked Lovely, friendly, simple campsite in a great location. The owners Alistair and Katie are very friendly and easy to get on with and totally awake to all that is going on.
Quite basic level of camping and yet everything is there. Toilets, doors could do with being able to close a bit tighter and a shower provided if you need one.
Children love it as they can play on the park and parents can sit and relax and easily keep an eye on all that is going on.
Pizza on an evening and breakfast cobs and coffee on a morning, what's not to like.
Enjoyed a couple of hours with the grandchildren and dogs playing in the river, which was a bit a low but that's due to the time of year. Tried making a bridge and raced leaves, great simple fun.
Dogs loved walking in the woods as it was a bit cooler for them.

Lovely family spot
Family Field unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Lovely atmosphere on the family field. The tents all had a view of the climbing frame and lots of room to play, football, rounders. All the kids played together.
I liked that the food van was far enough away from the field that the kids didn't notice it so they weren't asking all the time for pizzas and drinks so they were happy with their picnic. Friendly owner. The kids and dog enjoyed exploring the stream. Dog friendly. Wasn't quite sure what the situation with the toilets were I think there was one porta loo for the field? We was only there one night so didn't worry about it too much we wild wee'd :) Relaxed atmosphere. I appreciated that 10pm quiet was respected we camped with 3 children and a baby, the pitch fell quiet by about 10.20. Recommended to friends. Will definitely return.

Liked Great people running the place, the location is beautiful, some nice walks through the woods if you shimmy through the stream. Helpful and attentive both times I've been.
Disliked The track in is a bit bumpy but manageable. That's it really.

I'll definitely come again, so much more to explore!
Anonymous Family Field unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Large campsite, private pitches, plenty of space for children to run around. Beautiful walks just out of the gate, amazing nature. Pizza on site was a lovely perk.
Disliked A little bit of mess around the river. I guess that says more about the campers than about the campsite, though.
