  • 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.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely area, hosts were lovely, pre warned us about a festival down the road which was appreciated.

Disliked Could do with four toilets rather than 2, bit congested when the campsite was full.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Location was lovely. Owners were fab and helped jump start my car on the Saturday, very much appreciated it!
The buying wood etc was a really quick and easy process.
The sunset was epic!
The wildlife park was also amazing and really close by.

Disliked The pub near by was a little loud on the Saturday night (we were just tired and tried to get an early night ready for Alton Towers though) music was off by 11pm though so ordinarily wouldn’t bother and I would possibly be there singing karaoke myself 🤣
