  • Peaceful site on a mown field overlooking pasture and woodland
  • On the edge of the Peak District; Chesterfield 20 minutes' drive
  • Spacious site with small number of pitches; local produce available
Unthank Lane Farm is a peaceful campsite set on a working farm in rural Derbyshire. Located right on the edge of the Peak District National Park and 20 minutes' drive from Sheffield or the historic town of Chesterfield, this spacious spot has a small number of pitches and lots of space between them. The main camping area is located in a mown farm field, where flat and level land makes pitching up easy. There is a hot shower, toilet and mains water supply here for guests, and some local produce may be available depending on when you're around. Around the farm, you're likely to see a good deal of agricultural activity, plus the resident cows with their calves. Getting around and about off-base is easy too, as the farm is well-connected to local footpaths and cycle routes in the national park. This peaceful site is in the small village of Holmesfield, the centre of which is just under two miles up the road. Head here to try out one (or all) of the local pubs, or to take the kids to blow off steam at the village play area.

Helen T.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked This camp site is a small peaceful rural site in a beautiful area surrounded by many walks and pubs close by. The lady who runs it was welcoming and is doing an excellent job. The toilets are portable but clean. There is a perfectly adequate shower too with hot water. We would have no problem returning.

Disliked Theres nothing to dislike. If you are not a fan of farm yard animals, cows, dogs etc, dont book a farm stay.

Liked The site was exactly as described, only better.
Sam, the owner ensured everything was spicy & span.
When we had to adjust our plans, Sam sorted it.
It's non electric, so bring your battery phone chargers & ensure you can pump up your airbed.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked It is a lovely site which is very quiet and in a beautiful valley. The host couldn't have been nicer and spent time chat to us. Very clean site, basic but all that you need. Only about 9/10 plots so plenty of room to spread out and relax.
