  • 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Spacious pitch, beautiful site

Disliked No toilet roll, hand soup or blue roll to dry hands pretty much the whole weekend. Cleaner came and still didn't stock up. Pheasant shooting happening during the day absolutely terrified our dog. Rang the owners to politely ask if they knew when it would end so we could take him away for a bit, said they couldn't hear it (no way possible it was so loud) and they would find out and call back but never did.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
The toilets are cleaned and restocked daily. Iam not quite sure how they had ran out.
Iam quite confused regarding the claims of pheasant shooting going off.
Game shooting is out off season so this can not be true.
If you look on the BASC website this will give you the dates of shooting season. This might be useful for you and your dog.
Unfortunately when you visit the country side especially where we are in a very rural area you will come across different noises ,smells and a total different environment than other areas.
Some people enjoy it and unfortunately some don’t.

Great to wake up to farm sounds. Small, authentic and isolated.

Rebecca W.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very clean toilets and hot shower (cleaned daily whilst we were staying), lovely scenery, good pitch size (good ground for pitching tents) easy to find location and a bonus of friendly cats on site.

Disliked Only cold water for washing dishes, you could hear the nearby quarry but only during working hours and it wasn't too loud, just distand rumbles and thumps

Recommend to friends Visit again

Horrendous experience. Avoid

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Very rude warden when we entered. Not made to feel welcome at all. Also told us off for playing football. We were the only people here and weren’t noisy. Do not stay here there are far friendlier and nicer places near by.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
We don’t have a warden on site so iam not quite sure who you spoke to.
Both myself and husband who own the site are unaware of this.
When people want to play football we usually let them go into the field next to the site depending on what animals are in it at the time.
There was a contact number on the text for your pitch number to ring should there of been a problem.
Should you have rang the number we would have been more than happy to assist you. Also to see who was claiming to be the warden as this is quite concerning.

Disappointing. Would not recommend.

Electric grass pitch

Liked - beautiful rural location.
- very friendly farm cats joined us for dinner regularly and enjoyed some fuss which was great for kids and adults!

Disliked - lack of contact with the owners- called when we were due to arrive and was told I should have had a text regarding pitch number but this was never received. Saw no one for the duration of the stay.
- “back to basics” facilities were tired and unclean. Lock stuck, sink was wobbly, cold water only for washing up etc.
- lack of signage eg toilet block was impersonal and would have made the site feel more family friendly.
- bin was overflowing and there was no recycling.
- there was a huge hole near the toilet block for no clear reason which is a hazard, particularly for children.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.
As the site is only small it doesn’t warrant anyone there full time.
Iam not quite sure what happened to the message regarding pitch number.
We call down on the site a couple of times a day.
Some people enjoy the system we have and unfortunately some people don’t. We are very busy with running the farm and the time we do have spare we spend with are children. Iam sorry that we didn’t get to welcome you personally.
We are always available on the phone.
The site does state basic facilities. Again some people are happy and some people expect more.
The bins was full and we was waiting for the bin men to collect the rubbish.
What we seem to find is that people dump all there rubbish eg. Chairs tents. Clothing. Used bbqs ect instead of taking them home with them or going to a tip. This causes alot more rubbish than we account for.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had an amazing time at this campsite! It was clean, peaceful, and really well looked after. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made our stay even better.

We also loved the great recommendations for local food and pubs – they really added to the experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!

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.
