What customers say
Stunning views, peaceful Peak District location. Nearby pub/walks. Generally clean, well-kept facilities, praise for showers. Friendly hosts. Can get crowded peak times, causing facility queues, but improvements are happening.

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked This campsite is just brilliant just right in the countryside perfect for walking and great for couples and families. The campsite it sell has Toilets and 2 very good showers and washing up area. The owners are very friendly and even you can hire out fire pit and logs and farm animals on your doorstep. Would definitely recommend and will return next year thank you for a great weekend.

Perfect spot for walkers and enjoying the peaks
Bell tent
Liked Location was perfect for exploring the peaks and a short walk to a lovely pub which was very welcoming. Quiet site and toilets were clean and tidy and well stocked. Kitchen area was clean and showers were ok although temperature was up and down. One on the right was best for pressure and consistency of temperature. Plenty of plugs to charge things. Nice touches with washing up liquid available and eggs for sale
Disliked Bell tent is now much smaller than in images still on website with just one space with a double and single camp bed and small shelf. Feels a little cramped with three people and large bed which takes up much of the space with little room for anything more, although in summer you could be outdoors in better weather. No electricity in tent so when it says bell tent includes electric this is not in the accommodation. Also the location of the bell tent is at the entrance to the site and is not enclosed as it seems in the images so you do have people passing in and out in cars and walking past although not a big issue it's worth knowing. Toilets are very close by though.
