What customers say
This Peak District campsite has stunning views and a peaceful vibe, with friendly hosts. Toilets and showers are very clean. Great access to walks and a pub nearby. Usually quiet, but some noise from other campers and occasional queues for facilities. More showers coming soon.

Liked It's a lovely location with clean facilities.
Disliked We were there for a weekend in June and it was rammed. We had to camp cheek by jowl with others, there were queues for the loos, queues for the showers etc. They had just taken way more bookings than the site could handle.

Anonymous Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Beautiful site well maintained in a gorgeous location with views over the fields. Our host could not do enough to make sure everyone was enjoying their time. Well maintained facilities with lovely, warm showers, indoor and outdoor washing up areas. Would highly recommend for a peaceful getaway in the Peak District.
Disliked Only thing I disliked was that it got busier on the weekend, and I had to share the tranquility with everyone else

I and everyone I spoke to will be returning, as I expected and more.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Everything!!! This camp is gold star rating.
The owner is amazing, she is friendly, helpful and has more interaction with her camp than I have ever seen.
Facilities were clean, extremely high level and very well maintained.
All hand wash, washing up and cleaning products are provided as is toilet paper and hand towels.
There is a chest freezer onsite and I believe a new fridge to be installed.
The views were a British version of the Tuscany hills.
A pub at the end of the Road (opened Thursday to Sunday)
Walks directly from camp.
The list goes on!!!!!
Disliked Nothing about the camp or the owners.
I will say as human beings, if camping please do consider your environment and your fellow campers, camps have noise rules, these are in place to ensure all enjoy their stay.

Liked Perfect and peaceful even with other campers here. There was a group of DofE here but still all the facilities were well maintained and adequate for me 😊. There a local pub a 15 min walk down the lane with an honesty shop and the food was lovely too.
