  • 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.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Our stay at Tunstead Campsite was a perfect weekend getaway. From the pleasantly helpful site owner to the picturesque views from the pitch. A stone throw away from the nearest pub. This really was in ideal location and would advise any keen camper to book a weekend here.

Disliked: The only thing I could think of that would make an improvement to this site. Is a clear indication as to the sites whereabouts. Myself & our friends questioned whether we here at the right place when pulling onto what we assumed was just someone's house. After speaking to the site owner, and learning that the site had only been open a week. This was understandable.
