  • 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 travel trailer campsite

Liked: The size of this campsite is great. Lots of room. You can drive around until you find a suitable spot. Plenty of space for privacy. Great location for walking in the Lathkilldale valley but it is a very steep (and can be slippery) path down to the river. Not many facilities near the main camping fields but there is a brand new toilet block a few minutes walk away. Showers and more toilets etc are near the entrance. A 5 minute walk away. Check in fine. Helpful and friendly staff.

Disliked: We kept our dog on a lead at all times out of the van and even though this was stipulated as a condition for having dogs on site, there were a few dogs off leads. Most were fine and the owners kept them close by but one came across the field and was tormenting our dog with the owner unable to catch it! There was also a group of youths playing music until 4am even though the noise curfew is 11pm. It seemed that once you are pitched up, there’s no checking or monitoring of the rules.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Absolutely love this campsite, especially when it’s not busy during the week. The views from the back field are amazing, there’s plenty of room and it felt like I was in the middle of nowhere but with the security of knowing I was on a campsite 😊. Facilities were clean and since my last visit another toilet block has been installed so it’s not so far to walk if you are staying in the back field.

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.
