  • Peaceful and off-grid pop-up site 25 minutes’ drive from Buxton
  • Millennium Walkway five minutes’ walk; golf course five minutes’ drive
  • Kayak hire and alpaca-feeding on site; canal and river walks nearby
Looking for a wild camping experience with just that little bit extra on the Cheshire and Derbyshire border? Take a look at Disley Meadow, set in a lush valley 25 minutes’ drive from elegant Buxton – for here you can bed down amid stunning countryside, feed friendly alpacas and hire kayaks for adventures on the River Goyt or Peak Forest Canal. This is an untamed but welcoming space for families and friends, blending care for the environment with the sheer enjoyment of being out in the fresh northern air. The site owners are committed to providing unforgettable experiences for all guests, alongside a determination to preserve the natural environment. Their camping field has spectacular views towards the Peak District National Park, yet is a mere five minutes’ walk from shops for stocking up on supplies and well-reviewed pubs for eating out in Disley village. The site is within easy walking distance of more than one playground for young children, and within a 10-minute stroll of the site there's also a service station with snacks in its shop, plus a free water tap and a coffee machine. Please bear in mind that this site is off-grid so you'll need to bring torches and your own drinking water supply; it's also a good idea to bring loo roll in case the owners are not able to restock quickly enough at busy times. There is a shower cubicle to use on site, which has a few stages to it due to the site having no services (instructions will be provided). The land is gently sloping, but there are some flat areas.

Friendly owner, lovely canal/village spot with great views & walks. Spacious field, alpacas loved. Basic but clean facilities. Uneven ground, train line & bumpy road noted. Manager considering upgrades.

Liked Absolutely lovely site. Just what we had hoped it would be. Our little one loved watching the alpacas. The views where something special and the countryside sky really gave us a show through our telescope.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi. Thank you so much for this review. You are the first person I know to have brought a telescope: what a great idea! Hope the rest of the year treats you well and maybe we’ll see you again :)

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Great location. Beautiful views. Friendly alpacas on site.

Situated perfectly for a mix of rural walks / hikes and accessible local amenities, plenty of pubs and convenience shops within walking distance (or by car if you don't like walking).

Basic but clean facilities, first off grid site I've found to have a shower. The site is off grid, which is outlined in the site description. But the grounds are nicely kept.

A trainline runs by the foot of the site, no complaints from me, I enjoyed watching the trains occasionally pass by steadily... and for the majority of the night the site was peaceful and quite for a great nights sleep.

Great bit of stargazing to be had on a clear night as well.

Route directions

Satnav can bring you from a northerly direction to the Waterside Lane end of Lower Greenshall Lane. While it is traversable it is very potholed. You ideally want to arrive at the A6 end. If you do find yourself at that end, a search for Redhouse Lane will take you to the A6.
