  • Small, friendly Peak District site close to several walking trails
  • A 10-minute drive to Buxton and Bakewell and 20 minutes to Chatsworth
  • Dog-friendly pitches; several pubs within a five-minute drive
For peaceful times in the Peak District National Park take a look at Longfield Farm, a small and friendly site surrounded by Derbyshire countryside. A 10-minute drive from the spa town of Buxton and the medieval town of Bakewell, the pitches here are well situated for all sorts of alfresco activities. In the surrounding Peak District, guests can pull on their walking boots and get stuck into several good hikes along the likes of the Tissington Trail and the Monsal Trail, each within a 25-minute drive. Dogs should find plenty to sniff out on countryside walks too, and cyclists can make use of the area's many dirt paths. For other outdoor activities to get the heart racing, there's kayaking, windsurfing and fly fishing 30 minutes away at Carsington Water, including taster sessions for first-timers. After all this, put your feet up at one of the local country pubs. Handily, there are several within a five-minute drive, including one with a large playground to let the kids blow off some steam while you nurse a well-deserved pint. This is a simple site with basic facilities only, but you’ll have access to water points, three toilets and a shower. If you don’t fancy a bite to eat from one of the local pubs, you're welcome to light up your own barbecue instead. Both Buxton and Bakewell have a good selection of supermarkets, or you can head to one of several local farm shops for meat and extras to put on the grill.

What customers say

A quiet, rural spot with spacious, level pitches (water/elec available). Friendly owners, farm animals a bonus. Facilities are basic but clean, though some found them a bit dated and the single shower limited. Great base for the Peak District.

Rebecca R.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Beautiful peaceful close to Buxton town. The hard standing pitch was well maintained and a generous size . The facilities were clean and workable for what we needed. The host was very friendly and helpful when I spoke to him on the phone. My daughter loved waking up to all the animals. All in all a great little place which I would recommend and will definitely return.

Disliked Not a complaint as such but for me as I’m a bit clumsy , the path down to the facilities was very dark at night with no lights to guide , this was easily resolved for us with a torch.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked What a place. Exactly what we needed away from the world. Stayed 2 nights. On bay 6. Owner was so helpful as we arrived later than planned.

Theres 3 toilets and one shower. Shower amazing so hot. Was toilet roll but couldnt get it out the dispenser however we have own so no issue at all.

Not sure why theres any bad reviews as its perfect. We did bring the motorbike with us however due to weather it stayed in van.

Went and did the monsal train and the Stelling stones. 4 hour walking so beautiful and highly recommend.

Lots on animals to see and hear and site which was lovely.

We will be back

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked It was the only place open this time of year. It was nice and quiet. We had a great pitch except for the snow that came along. The farmer had to pull us out to get going. He was absolutely fantastic. Would stop here again.

Disliked The water was frozen so couldn’t use the loo or the shower. That could have been due to the minus temperatures we had.

Robert M.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Nice quiet, easy communication prior to arrival and choose your own pitch

Disliked Toilets are very basic which is fine but no need to be dirty and grubby as well. Shower was grubby yet site was near empty so clearly not from a lot of use that day. Silicone is all mouldy which is an easy fix to tidy up.

Route directions

The entrance to the site is on Flagg Lane (not The Jarnett). There is a signpost opposite the turning for Long Field Farm and Lane End Farm Trust. Look out for the fixed sheep pens at the top of the track, then follow the lane down to the site entrance on the right and look for your numbered pitch. If you type Lane End Farm Trust into your sat nav that should take you to the campsite.

Local attractions

If your walking boots are a camping essential, take them over to the Tissington Trail for a fine 13-mile route through the Derbyshire countryside. The route commences a 25-minute drive away in Ashbourne. For a shorter trail, the Monsal Trail is 15 minutes away – it's easier on the feet with a less demanding 8.5-mile route. For adrenaline seekers, Carsington Water is half an hour’s drive away. Here, you can hire kayaking kit or try out windsurfing if you're feeling extra ambitious. If watersports aren't your strong suit, their taster sessions will help to ease you in to the relevant techniques. For other activities that will raise your heart rate, there’s an outdoor pool in Hathersage 25 minutes away and several indoor pools within a 25-minute drive. Further afield, take a whirl on the rollercoasters at Alton Towers, a 40-minute drive away and with plenty to fill a full day. At Matlock Farm Park (30 minutes), a collection of cute animals should keep kids entertained; they can give horse riding a go too or gently feed the lambs if they're seeking some quieter time.
