  • Family-run campsite in a scenic Peak District location
  • Bakewell 15 minutes' drive; Chatsworth 20 minutes
  • Separate adults-only and family-friendly camping fields in White Peak
Burrow down surrounded by typical Derbyshire farmland at Knotlow Farm, a friendly family-run farm campsite in the scenic White Peak area of the Peak District National Park. That’s your first step… and the second? Perhaps renting a bicycle from Parsley Hay, 10 minutes’ drive away, to pedal out over Peak District landscapes, or maybe whisking your four-legged friends off on an outdoor adventure – after all, they’re welcome here too. This rural break is a top choice for a variety of travellers because of its separate adults-only and family-friendly pitching areas. The site has a washing-up area, toilets and hot showers (plus a family bathroom with changing area) too, making it easy to refresh yourself at the end of a long day trekking through the local countryside or exploring some of the area's top tourist attractions… There are many of those nearby, by the way. Set just outside the small hamlet of Flagg, Knotlow Farm is a quarter of an hour's drive from market towns like Bakewell and 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire must-sees like Chatsworth House. There is also a small on-site shop to bag essential groceries and sweets, but if you're not in the mood for cooking, grab one of the site’s home-made pizzas every evening. There are breakfasts available every morning and fire baskets can also be hired too (with logs for sale), just in case you're after that extra little bit of evening ambience…

Daniel O.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (adults only)

Liked I received a warm and friendly welcome on arrival. The small shop at reception was a convenient touch. The amenity block was outstanding, exceptionally clean and well lit, and the showers were excellent value at 20p for two minutes. WiFi was available around the reception and amenity areas, though I didn’t need it as EE signal at the pitch was strong.

I was directed to a specific field and invited to choose any available pitch. Arriving early, I had no trouble finding a level spot. While some of the fields are quite hilly, there are flat areas if you take the time to look around. It may be more challenging to find one during peak times.

The location is superb, peaceful and well away from main roads. Waking up to cattle in the neighbouring field was a lovely countryside touch. A public footpath runs directly through the site, so it’s not unusual to see walkers passing between tents. Following the path to the southeast leads to a charming honesty-box farm shop, which also accepts card payments.

Disliked My only minor dislike was the route to the amenity block from the field I was in, which followed the internal road through the campsite. This often meant stepping onto the verge to allow vehicles to pass, sometimes driven a little impatiently. It is more a reflection of fellow campers than the site itself, but a dedicated pedestrian path would have been a welcome addition.

Nice but wouldn’t stay again due to toilets being too far away.

Susy E.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (adults only)

Liked No frills but everything we needed. Just what we wanted to try out my son’s new 3 man tent before he goes off on his own adventures.
Clean toilets and hot showers. 20p for 2 mins ago. Washing up facilities. Small Farm shop offered all those extra bits if you needed, which was a welcome surprise. Could even buy extra pegs as got a bit windy.
Could order bacon roll, fresh hot buttered tea cake or croissant for breakfast or pizza for eve. Very tasty too!
Freezer to rotate your ice blocks. Tea coffee vending machine if you needed it too.
Staff helpful and friendly.
Altogether a lovely get away from it all mini break. Thank you. Had a lovely experience.

Disliked Nothing.

Lovely rural site with a family atmosphere, pizzas were a bonus!…

Local attractions

Those of you who want to glide past the sloping Peak District countryside can get started on the Tissington Trail (10 minutes’ drive). The old railway track is suited to wheels or walking boats, and the historic setting will get you ready for more historical sites… Those include Chatsworth House (20 minutes) and its peaceful grounds, excellent for a picnic and a walk, and the Nine Ladies stone circle (20 minutes). Legend has it each stone was once a lady punished for dancing on a Sunday. You may soon be dancing yourself - even on a Sunday - after a tour of Buxton (15 minutes) or Bakewell (15 minutes). Both characterful Peak District towns are packed with pubs, restaurants and cafés, and of course, in Bakewell, the speciality is Bakewell tarts. Down Chatsworth House way is Chesterfield (35 minutes) too – a destination for all things theatre, golfing and gourmet eats – but further on, it’s easy enough to get to Alton Towers (45 minutes) for a thrills-geared day.
