What customers say
Stunning Peak District views & peaceful vibe. Friendly owner Stephanie, clean facilities (showers praised!). Great for walks to Castleton/Mam Tor. Some mention need for more toilets at peak times & occasional camper noise.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked This campsite is great, nice big open fields which you can choose from. The site is really clean and well maintained.
Stephanie is fantastic, friendly, helpful and really kind.
The facilities are limited, but what they have are kept clean and well supplied.
Made good friends with one of the donkeys.
Stephanie told me of a route where I could walk from the site to Mam Tor, which was ideal!
Would absolutely recommend the site to others.
Disliked Some people took a long time in the shower, but that sometimes happens. It’s hardly the end of the world.

Liked Views, location, local walks
Disliked It might just have been because it was a busy bank holiday but the queues for the facilities was always long, but the owners did a great job keeping them clean

Excellent site with clean facilities. Would highly recommend.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We stayed here for our first camping trip as a family and would highly recommend. The facilities were clean and well stocked with loo roll and fairy liquid etc. The site was relatively quiet and our little girl loved looking at the nearby farm animals.
Disliked Nothing

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked This campsite is spacious and peaceful. The host was very accommodating. This was our second visit — we first came in 2023, and since then there have been many great improvements.
More toilets have been added, and there is now a shower as well. The views are beautiful, and there are animals around which make the experience even more enjoyable.
Our only suggestion would be to consider separating the male and female toilets for added convenience. Overall, a wonderful stay — we’ll definitely be back!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We really enjoyed our stay at Sweet Knoll Camping. The location and facilities are great! It got quite busy during the bank holiday weekend, causing short queues for the showers and toilets. Stephanie is very responsive and helpful, even at short notice. The area is beautiful and you are very close to incredible scenery, but you should plan your hiking route in advance to avoid getting lost. We actually decided to extend our stay and would love to stop by another time.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely views and Stephanie was lovely. Facillities were very clean. Love that you can have campfires and my kids liked the farm animals.
Disliked It was very busy on weekends which meant there was no hot water to wash up either day, morning or evening unless you were first in the queue. Also, 2 showers for at least 200 people is not adequate. I was waiting for 45 minutes even picking my moment.
