  • 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…

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

Liked Really spacious fields and plenty of space to pitch up! We ordered pizza from reception and it was great!
Really well organised site. Everywhere is really clean. The toilet blocks were brilliant. Little space to clean your pots etc.

Will definitely be visiting again. Great site for the price!

Disliked It's not a dislike as the site was great, just be aware there's no 4G signal but you can use the WiFi in the loos/car park.

Toilet block is a bit of a walk if you're on one of the further fields.

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

Liked I really liked how peaceful this location was and the facilities are great considering was inexpensive. Farm location was clearly signposted on road and google maps link worked well. I choose the adult only pitch and have a Tentbox with awning. You check-in at reception which is at the very bottom and they instruct you which field to go to. When at reception, do not forget to grab the wifi details as mobile signal was non-existent (Vodafone network). Wifi worked in building areas only. The fact had no mobile or wifi once at tent did not bother me as was not there to be attached to my device. I liked how you could have your own bbq (off ground only) and you can grab a firepit from reception if want.

There is a one large building which houses washing up area - two sinks with drainers and nice hot water. Leads to male and female toilets / showers. Showers run for 2 minutes at 20p - good temperature and space to change out of clothes with hooks.

If you are not a cook, you can purchase pizza and order breakfast the evening before for morning collection.

Campsite location is good for surrounding areas - Bakewell was 20 minutes away by car where you can buy Bakewell Tarts. Bakewell has a Market on a Monday (including Bank Holidays).

I would stay again - highly recommend.

Disliked No dislikes for me. However, if you like mobile access/wifi just be mindful you may have none at tent so come prepared with downloaded movies/shows etc If you need to make calls, then it is a short walk to the building.

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.
