  • Family-run campsite on a dairy farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Chatsworth House and Haddon House both 20 minutes’ drive
  • Ice cream sold on site; access to Lathkill Dale via the camping fields
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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A lot there to keep children entertained, particularly the working farm. My son loved the cows. Staff were lovely and great vibe on the campsite. Toilets were very clean.

Disliked: Notices around to advise to keep noise to a minimum from 11pm but there was a large group next to us playing music, singing and shouting until 2am. Not great for people with a young child if the rules aren't actually enforced.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Really loved everything. Amy and Ed were friendly. 3 huge fields so plenty of space to have your own plot without disrupting others. The campsite is not far from the local town of Bakewell & Aldi is 10 minutes away. Toilets were in a good place for everyone to get to. Always kept clean with plenty of toilet roll & hand soap available. They also have a handy shop onsite for essentials. We hired a fire pit and on our last night Ed came round with a tractor for us to put any rubbish and the firepit. All round lovely stay. Would come again. Thank you!

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely campsite! It was quiet and clean and a good base for exploring the area. It didn’t feel overcrowded - even on a busy bank holiday weekend

Disliked: The toilets and showers were a walk away from our pitch. Not the end of the world, but something to note

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 tours 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.
