  • Back to basics Peak District site with a view over Miller's Dale
  • A mile to the Monsal Trail; 15 minutes' drive to Buxton and Bakewell
  • Farm shop and café on site; firepits available to hire
Bunk up in a barn at Beltonville Farm for a brill time in the White Peak part of the Peak District – this site’s just a mile from the Monsal Trail and therefore splendidly placed for a strolling, cycling or horse-riding holiday in Derbyshire. When you’re not tottering along this disused railway line transformed into a pretty path, soak up the views over Miller’s Dale; the park is in an elevated position looking out across this Site of Special Scientific Interest’s rock-studded landscape. Chillout sessions are of course boosted by having nosh to chomp on, so drop by the farm shop on site before dusk to pick up bits and bobs such as local veg. The site also has its own café, the Cow Shed Café, which is open every day from 9am. Rather a meander followed by a meal out? Map your way to one of several local pubs within a three-mile radius instead for supper. This is a back to basics site but it's well maintained and stretches to such luxuries as toilets and coin-operated showers for guests’ use (the showers require £1 coins, so please bring them with you). There's also a washing-up area and facilities for people with disabilities. Wood can be purchased at the park for firepits; you can also hire firepits on site (subject to availability).

What customers say

Stunning views, friendly staff, and great on-site cafe/shop/bar. Facilities are clean but men's toilets could use an update. Showers are coin-operated. Can get busy and noisy during peak times. Great for walks and cycling.

Gay B. 1 review

Primitive grass tent campsite (large)

Liked Welcome check-in, views, cleanliness

Disliked Being kepy up til 2.30am as there were several groups around us that were drinking til the early hours. With how much that camspite takes they could pay someone to patrol for a couple of hours after 10.30pm to ensure campsute rules are in place! Also because there was an extra field of campers the facilites were not enough... 30 minute wait in the morning to use the womens toilets!!

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked The staff are simply incredible! So friendly and welcoming, we instantly felt at home. The evening live music, food and bar was an incredible extra that we can’t wait to experience again.

The food and drink facilities throughout day and night were brilliant so it didn’t feel so much like you were on a non electric site.

The farm shop stocked everything you could need (or had forgotten!) including ice cream and marshmallows for late night camping.

Communal bins were emptied very regularly so there was never a smell or huge build up.

The ground was well kept so you could sit on the grass on your pitch and enjoy the absolutely stunning views of the peaks.

Everyone was respectful of other campers and we really loved being there.

Disliked The queue for the toilets and showers were ridiculous—for the amount of people able to fit onsite at any one time, there should be at least triple the amount of toilets and showers. With the £1 charge for a 4 min shower, surely there’s a way to invest in a slicker system.

Due to the quick turnaround and queues, the toilets weren’t clean after a short while and there were no mops to keep on top of showers so you need to get in there quick.

Due to this, we’d struggle to stay here more than one or two nights.

I would stay again as I know exactly what to expect.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Nicely situated site with lovely views and plenty of walks nearby. The family who run it are very accommodating and hardworking. Nice to have live music onsite for one of the evenings. Breakfast in the cafe was lovely too.

Disliked Only downside is the lack of toilets and showers for the amount of visitors. Queuing for the toilet at 7am and no toilet roll wasn’t great. The showers constantly had queues of people throughout the day and evening. This has been mentioned on a lot of the reviews so hopefully it will be addressed by the site owners.
However we still really enjoyed our two night stay.

Local attractions

Squidged between Bakewell and Buxton (15 minutes’ drive from either), Beltonville has a nifty location near two of Derbyshire’s most popular towns. Make a foray to the former for River Wye wanders, passing by the medieval arched stone bridge, and the latter to see around some stunning architecture. Highlights on the heritage trail around Buxton Spa include the Georgian-era crescent, the Roman baths and the cupola-topped Devonshire Dome; for older buildings, the village of Castleton (25 minutes), lying in the lee of Mam Tor, has the Norman ruins of Peveril Castle to peer at. This spot’s also the gateway to the Blue John caves, the only places on the planet where the semi-precious Blue John stone can be found. Cast your eye over the largest intact piece ever mined on display at Treak Cliff Cavern (25 minutes), which also has some rather sizable stalactites and stalagmites for geologist types to gaze lovingly upon. Those aiming to give their walking boots a good workout here have plenty of choice: it's well located not just for the Monsal Trail and Miller's Dale but also Chee Dale, Tideswell Dale and Winnats Pass.
