Liked: This is a lovely relaxed farm campsite with clean facilities. I was greeted by the friendly owners on arrival and shown around. You can camp where you like in their large field, with a great view of Crich Stand. The site is popular with all kinds of campers on a Bank Holiday weekend but I never had to queue to use the facilities. The toilets have loo roll and washing up liquid and sponges are provided in the dishwashing area. Showers are free. The ground was pretty easy to drive tent pegs into, even after a spell of very dry weather. Hankin Farm is a 15 minute walk to the site from Whatstandwell train station if you can carry your kit up a moderate hill. I did a 14km AllTrails circular walk from the site and it was very enjoyable with varied scenery throughout - 'Crich to Whatstandwell to Quarry Circular'.
Disliked: I'm a light sleeper and did need to make use of my earplugs. A few campers were yelling on one night and someone blasted their car radio at 6.30am. I think this is a common problem at campsites everywhere now though. I wasn't keen on the Family Tree pub in the village - I fancied a post-walk beer but was completely ignored by staff and ended up leaving after waiting a while. They only have Heineken on tap and the rest is bottled beer - it feels more like a foodie place than a sweaty walker's pit stop! But that's just my experience.

From the manager: Hi James, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. From memory we were more than welcoming and accommodating to you and your family, the only reason I think you might be upset is when I said you couldn't bring your sons 50cc motorbike on site as it would be dangerous and disturbed our other guests.
Nice site. Good value.

Liked: The price is good. Facilities are basic, but adequate.
Disliked: The sloping site! We did manage to find a part of the field where it was only a slight slope and it didn't cause any problems. Elsewhere you will need levelling blocks.
