Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: The owner was very friendly, the grass area was a large pitch so plenty of space despite there being a lot of people! The location is close to Bakewell and other great walking areas

Disliked: The toilets to be a bit more private, or provide wipes for the toilets

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Monday night in early Sept. It was very quiet at the site. Great-spot for exploring Latkill Dale which was definitely worth exploring. Literally turn up and park/ pitch. Emplacements not marked out but loads of space. Toilets worked and were acceptably clean. There was 4G reception which isnt always the case in Peak District On a slight slope although i found almost level spot for camper van

Disliked: ยฃ12 not expensive but not especially cheap given it is a field. There is a derelict building and some ?abandoned cars at edge of site adding to the rural feel

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: The campsite was exactly what we expected for the price. It was a lovely location and is easy to reach Bakewell. We stayed in a car tent and it was an ideal pitch. It was quiet and great for walking. Plus dog friendly.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Being charged for a fire pit I found rusted in a bush. Being bothered by drunks and the partying keeping us awake most of the night. The owner asking my 13 year old questions while I was at the toilet and the ground conditions were terrible.

Local attractions

A Peak District break should always include a visit to Chatsworth House (20 minutesโ€™ drive). This country house has over 25 rooms, including a painted hall and sculpture room, and the grounds are just as splendid โ€“ here you can take the kids to meet the pygmy goats in the farmyard, and play at the adventure playground, eat according to the season at the estateโ€™s restaurants or take a buggy tour. Haddon Hall (15 minutes) is another nearby historic house, with a medieval park that can be explored on guided tours. And thereโ€™s Matlock (20 minutes) close by too โ€“ it was once an ancient spa town and now a gateway for bike rides, hikes and the lot. If staying active is high on your priorities, a visit to the Hathersage Swimming Pool (25 minutes) is the place to practise your backstroke under the open sky. Youโ€™re bound to get in some steps around Alton Towers (40 minutes) too, running between rides. Dovedale (30 minutes), of course, is a place for more traditional hikes โ€“ the valley is almost three miles long, and there are stepping stones to cross on your way around this scenic stretch of land.
