  • Peaceful pop-up site at a farm in the Staffordshire Moorlands
  • Alton Towers 10 minutes' drive; Peak District walks 20 minutes away
  • Meet animals and buy produce on site; pub two minutes' walk
Piggies to meet on site, a pub a couple of minutes’ walk away, and Peak District walks close by… that’s just the start of a list of selling points for Tunstead Campsite, just outside the village of Foxt in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Pitches at this pop-up farm site are simple (please note that there are no showers, only toilets for guests' use) but scenic, with a peaceful atmosphere and lovely views across the surrounding green landscapes. You’ll be able to meet and feed the three friendly pigs, and can also buy logs, free-range eggs, homemade bread and butchers’ packs to boost your rural experience. Don’t fancy cooking? Stroll to the local pub (a mere two minutes’ walk from the farm) for burgers and other pub classics along with a good range of drinks. The immediate surroundings are great for a country walk (handy for dog owners…), but it's also worth knowing that the edge of the Peak District National Park is only a few miles away, putting places like Ashbourne and Dovedale within easy reach for walks and bike rides. And that's not all – family attractions like Alton Towers and the Peak Wildlife Park are within 10 minutes’ drive too. An aesthetics and skincare clinic is based at Tunstead Campsite, so if you fancy getting a Japanese head spa treatment, you know where to go; site guests get a 15% discount.

A gem for families! Peaceful, spacious, with great countryside views & clean facilities. Close to a village pub. Owners are super friendly. Lacking showers for some, but perfect for chilled, short breaks.

Liked We had a great stay at this small, friendly campsite. It's a perfect spot for families looking for a simple, relaxed getaway.

The kids absolutely loved the farm animals. There were also a few toys and outdoor play areas that kept them happily occupied.

Check-in was smooth and straightforward, and the owners were warm and welcoming, would definitely return.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Peaceful and Lovely views, was welcomed on arrival and on leaving was asked if we had any problems. It’s nice for the owners to make an effort to talk been to a few places where they don’t bother. Like how you can just enter the field and pitch anywhere, toilets very clean and an honesty cart with little things you might need just help your self and go pay. Highly recommend if you are staying in the area for the night. Definitely will be back. Lovely little site. Oh and the village pub was lovely locals were very welcoming 😊

Liked The quiet, no fuss camping field. The 1 minute walking distance to the pub for our evening meal was great. Very helpful and friendly hosts.

Disliked Would really like it if a shower could be added so that that I could stay longer. Wouldn't want to wash at a sink for more than a 1 night stay

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked The family were very friendly. Eager to help however they were able. The site was clean and well managed. Toilets, washing up and rubbish bins all available and kept well. Love that you can buy disposable bbqs just in case, although there are a couple of pubs within a few minutes away. It’s convenient for so many tourist attractions and popular walks. The chickens and pigs are very sweet and people friendly.

Disliked It took us a little bit to find the right place, but I’ve seen that a sign is on the way. And this is nature rather than the site itself, but flies!! Don’t forget your repellant!
