  • Family-run campsite in a scenic Peak District location
  • Bakewell 15 minutes' drive; Chatsworth 20 minutes
  • Separate adults-only and family-friendly camping fields in White Peak
Burrow down surrounded by typical Derbyshire farmland at Knotlow Farm, a friendly family-run farm campsite in the scenic White Peak area of the Peak District National Park. That’s your first step… and the second? Perhaps renting a bicycle from Parsley Hay, 10 minutes’ drive away, to pedal out over Peak District landscapes, or maybe whisking your four-legged friends off on an outdoor adventure – after all, they’re welcome here too. This rural break is a top choice for a variety of travellers because of its separate adults-only and family-friendly pitching areas. The site has a washing-up area, toilets and hot showers (plus a family bathroom with changing area) too, making it easy to refresh yourself at the end of a long day trekking through the local countryside or exploring some of the area's top tourist attractions… There are many of those nearby, by the way. Set just outside the small hamlet of Flagg, Knotlow Farm is a quarter of an hour's drive from market towns like Bakewell and 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire must-sees like Chatsworth House. There is also a small on-site shop to bag essential groceries and sweets, but if you're not in the mood for cooking, grab one of the site’s home-made pizzas every evening. There are breakfasts available every morning and fire baskets can also be hired too (with logs for sale), just in case you're after that extra little bit of evening ambience…

What customers say

Nice grounds, great ablutions. Friendly staff, good Peak District access, onsite pizza a hit. Some find pitches sloped and night flights a bother.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (family)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (adults only)

Liked Lovely quiet site, the staff were lovely and facilities were good. There’s toilets nearby to each pitch, pizza and breakfast everyday. There’s a coffee and tea machine in the washing area but only takes cash. Amazing view. Not all pitches were flat but it didn’t bother us. Also rented a fire pit which was lovely. You can get WIFI in the toilets and reception but not on the pitches.

Abbie H.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked Lovely, big, open field for camping, surrounded by hedges and countryside. Easy 20 minute walk to a great pub. Warm facilities block.

Disliked The camping field is very sloped - we used our van chocks and were still tilted. Might be more of an issue with a tent. There is only one facilities block with 5 ladies toilets and 3 sinks so it was very busy on a morning. We stayed at the weekend so it may be easier on a weekday.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Definitely going there again. Great base for exploring area.

Sandra L.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (adults only)

Liked Facilities clean and no waiting for the showers as it was quiet on the site.

Lots of space for children to play as parts of the fields were sloped and not suitable for tent use.

Disliked Track through field was rutted so quite high in middle (concerned would knock underside of car).

Liked Site was on the whole quiet (it is under a flight path which is more noticeable at night) and the toilet and shower block was immaculate and one of the best I’ve experienced camping.

Local attractions

Those of you who want to glide past the sloping Peak District countryside can get started on the Tissington Trail (10 minutes’ drive). The old railway track is suited to wheels or walking boats, and the historic setting will get you ready for more historical sites… Those include Chatsworth House (20 minutes) and its peaceful grounds, excellent for a picnic and a walk, and the Nine Ladies stone circle (20 minutes). Legend has it each stone was once a lady punished for dancing on a Sunday. You may soon be dancing yourself - even on a Sunday - after a tour of Buxton (15 minutes) or Bakewell (15 minutes). Both characterful Peak District towns are packed with pubs, restaurants and cafés, and of course, in Bakewell, the speciality is Bakewell tarts. Down Chatsworth House way is Chesterfield (35 minutes) too – a destination for all things theatre, golfing and gourmet eats – but further on, it’s easy enough to get to Alton Towers (45 minutes) for a thrills-geared day.
