  • 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.

What customers say

Family-run site with spacious spots and lovely views. Owners are friendly, atmosphere is relaxed. Great for families with kids' play areas and animals. Near Alton Towers and pubs. Basic, clean facilities with an honesty box. A few noted limited restrooms/showers, but excellent value and highly recommended.

Liked Lovely clean site. Very welcoming owner who made me feel at ease as a solo female camper testing my van for the first time! Love the animals and play equipment for the kids. And the honesty box is a lovely touch and very well stocked. I'm looking forward to returning with my daughter soon.
