  • Peaceful pop-up site at a farm in the Staffordshire Moorlands
  • Alton Towers 10 minutes' drive; Peak District walks 20 minutes away
  • Meet animals and buy produce on site; pub two minutes' walk
Piggies to meet on site, a pub a couple of minutes’ walk away, and Peak District walks close by… that’s just the start of a list of selling points for Tunstead Campsite, just outside the village of Foxt in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Pitches at this pop-up farm site are simple (please note that there are no showers, only toilets for guests' use) but scenic, with a peaceful atmosphere and lovely views across the surrounding green landscapes. You’ll be able to meet and feed the three friendly pigs, and can also buy logs, free-range eggs, homemade bread and butchers’ packs to boost your rural experience. Don’t fancy cooking? Stroll to the local pub (a mere two minutes’ walk from the farm) for burgers and other pub classics along with a good range of drinks. The immediate surroundings are great for a country walk (handy for dog owners…), but it's also worth knowing that the edge of the Peak District National Park is only a few miles away, putting places like Ashbourne and Dovedale within easy reach for walks and bike rides. And that's not all – family attractions like Alton Towers and the Peak Wildlife Park are within 10 minutes’ drive too. An aesthetics and skincare clinic is based at Tunstead Campsite, with treatments that can be booked for an additional fee.

Liked Easy, simple and lovely location, little play area for little kids visible by most spots on the campsite.

Disliked Only a couple of toilets which didn't cause an issue....just make sure you take toilet paper as on busy weekends it runs out not long after it has been restocked!

Primitive grass and earth RV campsite

Liked Lovely field for camping in. The hosts were really welcoming and lovely. Excellent site if you have young children and a lovely pub 2 minutes walk away. Sunday dinners were amazing.

Disliked Only one toilet which didnt affect us but there were long queues at times.
The second night we were there we had 2 families pitch really close to us although there was plenty of space elsewhere on the site. They were very loud and their language was questionable at times.

Liked Spacious and friendly family/owners.
One of the best campsites we’ve been too. Our daughters could have some freedom and we have some quiet time, knowing they were safe and could be seen all over the campsite

Disliked Nothing I can think of
