  • Simple site in the middle of the Peak District National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Bakewell, Castleton and Blue John Cavern
  • Scenic dog-friendly site with village pub five minutes' walk
When it comes to stays in the Peak District national Park, sometimes all you need is a simple and peaceful place to lay your head for the night, with basic facilities but very little to distract you from the gorgeous views all around. (Oh, and maybe a pub within walking distance…) If that's the sort of thing you seek, you’ll likely be most happy with your lot at South View Farm Camping. This is wild-ish camping (in that it’s got portable toilets and running water but nowt else on the facilities front) in a field of a little over an acre and on a very slight incline. As well as having fabulous views over to Bradwell Edge, there’s a gliding club close by, so you may spot some folk taking to the air. As befits a wild-style site, there's a laidback atmosphere in which you'll be allowed to bring a barbecue or light up a campfire, and dogs are welcome as long as they're kept under control and on a lead. There's a sink on site for topping up your drinking water. And that pub? It’s a mere five-minute walk along a footpath to the village of Little Hucklow and a pint of something local in the garden or by the fire (and a meal too, if you like). For more eating options, the local villages of Bradwell and Tideswell are about five minutes' drive away and have pubs, shops and takeaways. Working up an appetite for your dinner should be straightforward here, as you’ll be pretty much right in the centre of the national park with easy access to all the top hikes, activities and attractions.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Stayed here for one night and could not fault it. Campsite is very basic, however exactly what we needed/wanted for a one night stay. Portaloo, sink and clean drinking water available - all kept clean/tidy at all times. The site was in the most beautiful location with amazing 360 views and only a short walk away from a pub. Not too far from other villages, walks and hikes which made it the perfect location for us. Jade, the manager, was very welcoming and attentive and made sure everything was ok with our stay and checked if there was anything we needed. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back, thank you very much.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Absolutely beautiful spot, very peaceful and tranquil and plenty of wildlife. The owners were so friendly, especially Jade. We were made to feel so welcome. All pitches were perfectly spaced out and no overcrowding at all. It is a basic campsite but this is something we particularly look for when booking and is our personal preference so it ticked all the boxes for us personally. The views were spectacular and there was a short walk to a local pub which was a nice treat. Logs and kindling can be purchased on site and they’re very reasonably priced. We also had full signal including 4G the whole time just incase anybody is concerned about that. We will definitely be back. Thank you again for having us!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Great campsite in a perfect location for the Peak District. We went as a group of climbers and were perfectly located to the crags. The host Jade was very attentive to everyone’s needs. The facilities were ideal. Would definitely go back.
