Family-run back to basics site in the Staffordshire Moorlands
A five-minute drive from the edge of the Peak District and Alton Tower
Friendly farm animals; free-range eggs available

Put down your roots at Pike Low Farm Camping, a family-friendly farm site in the Staffordshire Moorlands between the historic market towns of Ashbourne and Leek just off the A52. With friendly farm animals on site and free-range eggs available, this family-run dog-friendly site is a good place to indulge in some rural back to basics living for a little while. A five-minute drive from the edge of the Peak District and Alton Towers, you may want to spend one day cycling or hiking across green slopes and the next plunging down rollercoaster drops. Handily, popular Peak District spots such as Dovedale, Thor’s Cave and Hartington are all 20 minutes’ drive away from this site. You may very well catch the farm’s goats, sheep and hens pottering about the site. Other features around the site are kept quite simple, as this is a back to basics site where guests have access to compost toilets and dishwashing areas. So, take in the rural views… and if the scenery is too tempting to admire from afar, there are public footpaths alongside the site and a cycling route too (perhaps you may want to hire bicycles for the Manifold Way at Waterhouses, five minutes’ drive away too). If you’re looking to fuel up first, the local pub is half an hour’s walk away (under five minutes’ drive) and there’s another at Waterhouses.
