  • Family-run campsite on a dairy farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Chatsworth House and Haddon House both 20 minutes’ drive
  • Ice cream sold on site; access to Lathkill Dale via the camping fields
When you’re keen to get out exploring the Derbyshire Dales, you can’t get much closer to them than Haddon Grove Farm Campsite. This welcoming, family-run caravan and camping site has direct access to spectacular Lathkill Dale from the pitches. Located on a dog-friendly working dairy farm – you are welcome to meet the cows, horses and chickens – with views to the hills and dales of the Peak District National Park, the site was established in the early 1950s and has gone from strength to strength ever since. There are separate fields for family use – with play areas and rope swings – and others for group bookings, ensuring nobody gets disturbed on site. Facilities run to a shower block and wash room, and as barbecues are allowed by the pitches in the camping fields (source any foodie bits in the pretty town of Bakewell, 10 minutes’ drive), firepits can be hired on site. Logs are sold from the small on-site shop, which – more importantly for the kids – also stocks tasty ice cream from a local farm.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Loved being able to select a spot to camp. Pay for the number of people rather than the number of tents. Able to add extras such a gazebo. Loved the fire pit hire! A brilliant site, facilities are good. Seeing the animals on the working farm really made it for us.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Stunning views, lots of space. Toilets and showers were clean and showers were hot! Owners were helpful and friendly. SO many footpaths for walks straight from the campsite.

Liked: Campsite is well maintained and has plenty of walks near by and close to Bakewell for a day out. New toilet block has been added in the last few months and is always clean and tidy. Farm shop and reception area open and not restricted to space for pitch and prices great!

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: A friendly lady called Lucy told us our options. We were non electric on grass and it was fab! Only request no low barbecues, no noise after 11. We were far away in a second field. Toilet: shower were adequate ,a new toilet was available, shame there wasn’t a new shower there! Lovely pub called the Bulls Head was great certainly recommend it! Aldi there’s a lovely walk nearby.

Local attractions

Scenic walks are to be had along the namesake river in Lathkill Dale, where you can stride out towards Lathkill Head Cave (an hour and 20 minutes’ walk) or marvel at the clear springs at The Blue Waters near the peaceful village of Over Haddon (35 minutes). For a slightly longer ramble, Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (90 minutes) reward with prehistoric monuments and ancient burial mounds. Combine your stroll around the verdant grounds at Chatsworth House with a guided tours of the mansion’s ornate rooms packed with priceless antiques, or take in the Elizabethan Walled Gardens at Haddon Hall (both 20 minutes’ drive) after you’ve admired the tapestry collection and medieval chapel. For an insight into Peak District heritage, visit the bijou Eyam Museum (also 20 minutes) in the famed ‘plague village’ to learn the story of the Bubonic Plague of 1346–52, or have a wander around the deserted remains of Magpie Mine (five minutes’ drive), which was the last working lead mine in Derbyshire and closed in 1958.
