  • Family-run campsite on a dairy farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Access to Lathkill Dale directly from the site
  • Small on-site shop; firepits for hire; animals on site
When you’re keen to get out exploring the Derbyshire Dales, you can’t get much closer to them than Haddon Grove Farm Campsite. This welcoming, family-run caravan and camping site has direct access to spectacular Lathkill Dale from the pitches. Located on a dog-friendly working dairy farm – you are welcome to meet the cows, horses and chickens – with views to the hills and dales of the Peak District National Park, the site was established in the early 1950s and has gone from strength to strength ever since. There are separate fields for family use – with play areas and rope swings – and others for group bookings, ensuring nobody gets disturbed on site. Facilities run to a shower block and wash room, and as barbecues are allowed by the pitches in the camping fields (source any foodie bits in the pretty town of Bakewell, 10 minutes’ drive), firepits can be hired on site. Logs are sold from the small on-site shop, which – more importantly for the kids – also stocks tasty ice cream from a local farm. If you're after something more substantial, head to Annie’s Kitchen (a food van that visits on some weekends) for breakfast sandwiches or evening food and get your mitts on the woodfired pizzas sold most weekends. Drinks are also sold at the bar (open on some weekends).

What customers say

Great views, direct Lathkill Dale access. Spacious pitches, modern loos, helpful owners are highlights. Food vans popular. Some noise/queues in peak times, but upgrades happening.

Liked All I can say is wow! Our kids are 3 and 5 and wanted to have a night's stay to see how they felt. The site is incredibly clean, and well kept. The facilities are spotless and the food is great! The kids made friends and had a fun time on the rope swings. We loved it so much, we have booked to come again next month 🥰

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked On arrival greeted by friendly and helpful staff.

The campsite itself is very well maintained. The grass is neatly cut, and the pitches are spacious enough to give campers privacy. There are clean toilet and shower facilities. Fresh drinking water is available, and there are washing-up areas for dishes. Both adults and children loved the site and we would return.

Disliked Initially difficult to fine the bins and no obvious promoting of recycling on the site.

But otherwise no problems

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Friendly owner. You can pitch where you like, beautiful views. Close to Bakewell, lots of lovely walks and places to visit. Plenty of pubs with good food. Nice to have the food vans and bar on site, shame they were only open at the weekend. Lovely new shower and toilet block but could do with a few little extras see under dislikes.

Disliked Only little niggles. Cold showers, you got about 5 seconds of hot water.. No where to put things down when you get out of the shower so your hands are free to mop the floor. Could do with mirrors and maybe some hooks in the shower building outside each shower so you can do your hair after a shower and hang your things up so you can clean the shower after use. No sockets for razors. There’s no WiFi , just would have been useful when looking things to do up as signal bad

Local attractions

Scenic walks are to be had along the namesake river in Lathkill Dale, where you can stride out towards Lathkill Head Cave (an hour and 20 minutes’ walk) or marvel at the clear springs at The Blue Waters near the peaceful village of Over Haddon (35 minutes). For a slightly longer ramble, Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (90 minutes) reward with prehistoric monuments and ancient burial mounds. Combine your stroll around the verdant grounds at Chatsworth House with a guided tour of the mansion’s ornate rooms packed with priceless antiques, or take in the Elizabethan Walled Gardens at Haddon Hall (both 20 minutes’ drive) after you’ve admired the tapestry collection and medieval chapel. For an insight into Peak District heritage, visit the bijou Eyam Museum (also 20 minutes) in the famed ‘plague village’ to learn the story of the Bubonic Plague of 1346–52, or have a wander around the deserted remains of Magpie Mine (five minutes’ drive), which was the last working lead mine in Derbyshire and closed in 1958.
