Family Field primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Simple campsite managed excellently.
Warmly welcomed by Katie and Alistair and checked in later to see if everything was ok.
We pitched in the family field with small children’s play area which appeared to be loved by 4 all the way to 14yr olds and the field had shaded areas which was a relief this time of year.
Unfortunately we had noisy (presumably drunken)neighbours well into the morning hours which was a shame but not on the owners.
Offered fire pit and starter logs (which we purchased). Pizzas from onsite van (which we purchased)- they let us use our own cheese and toppings as we are awkward allergics (see photo).
Really nice woodland walks nearby. We had a great stay.
Disliked Inconsiderate campers. Maybe a curfew warning would be appropriate- especially in the family field.

Family Field primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Beautiful little piece of the Peak District 😍 came with my daughters for a night, last minute! Kids absolutely loved being able to walk through the river, and couldn’t get them off the play equipment! The hosts were so friendly and helpful, and do some really really nice food!! I felt it was safe enough for my kids to go n get ice creams n drinks from the food van on their own. When you get there you can literally drive round n see where you want to park up which is just brilliant. Thank you so much we will be back xx

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (adults only)
Liked Level ground, lots of space, owned by a really friendly family. The pizzas were lovely. I can't remember the name of Katie & Alistair's daughter but she is a credit to them....an incredibly friendly young lady . Special thanks to Alistair for being so patient, and accepting, with our reactive Frenchie . It's really good that there were the two separate fields for adults and families.

Lovely location and owners who aim to accommodate as best they can
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (adults only)
Liked Lovely, friendly, simple campsite in a great location. The owners Alistair and Katie are very friendly and easy to get on with and totally awake to all that is going on.
Quite basic level of camping and yet everything is there. Toilets, doors could do with being able to close a bit tighter and a shower provided if you need one.
Children love it as they can play on the park and parents can sit and relax and easily keep an eye on all that is going on.
Pizza on an evening and breakfast cobs and coffee on a morning, what's not to like.
Enjoyed a couple of hours with the grandchildren and dogs playing in the river, which was a bit a low but that's due to the time of year. Tried making a bridge and raced leaves, great simple fun.
Dogs loved walking in the woods as it was a bit cooler for them.

Lovely family spot
Family Field primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Lovely atmosphere on the family field. The tents all had a view of the climbing frame and lots of room to play, football, rounders. All the kids played together.
I liked that the food van was far enough away from the field that the kids didn't notice it so they weren't asking all the time for pizzas and drinks so they were happy with their picnic. Friendly owner. The kids and dog enjoyed exploring the stream. Dog friendly. Wasn't quite sure what the situation with the toilets were I think there was one porta loo for the field? We was only there one night so didn't worry about it too much we wild wee'd :) Relaxed atmosphere. I appreciated that 10pm quiet was respected we camped with 3 children and a baby, the pitch fell quiet by about 10.20. Recommended to friends. Will definitely return.
