  • Premium family-run site on a farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Far-reaching views 25 minutes' drive from Buxton and Bakewell
  • Friendly staff; cosy, dog-friendly country pub 10 minutes' walk
There's a warm welcome all around at Hartington Hills, a farm site with helpful, friendly owners on hand. This family-run site is just under two miles from the Derbyshire village of Hartington, where there are several pubs and a few places to grab coffee. The farm is in the Peak District National Park, so it's in an excellent spot for those who want to set out on walking or cycling trails; cast your gaze a little wider and you can also easily hit stately homes, museums, activity centres and caves within half an hour’s drive. Buxton and Bakewell are both 25 minutes' drive away, and it may not have escaped the kids’ notice that the Alton Towers theme park just happens to be about half an hour's drive away… The site’s facilities include a launderette and modern bathrooms with underfloor heating, hot showers and a large wetroom for guests with reduced mobility or families hosing down wriggly kids. There is also a dedicated space for canines to let off steam.

What customers say

A neat, clean campsite with great facilities and beautiful views. Staff are friendly, and pitches are decent, though some are a bit sloped. Wi-Fi's a bit iffy, but it's a top spot.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Fantastic site the facilities were amazing, from free usable WiFi to the showers and the washing up area with it's underfloor heating, electric kettle and microwave make it ideal for people in tents. Staff were very friendly and helpful as well. We loved the welcome pack. Oh the Manifold Inn (the nearest pub) cooks one of the best Sunday roasts we have had.

Disliked We met some nice friendly campers during our stay, unfortunately we had a couple of nights with 'Neighbours from hell' drank all day,played loud music and had a domestic in the early hours.

Local attractions

There are walks galore to be had around the pretty Peak District National Park – some popular picks nearby include meandering along the Manifold Valley Trail from Hulme End, 15 minutes away on foot, or trots along the Tissington Trail, which starts 10 minutes away. See the world from above by crossing the treetop trails at Go Ape, 25 minutes away, or from even further above with a ride on the Heights of Abraham cable car, half an hour away. Keeping your feet firmly on the ground, there are smart stately homes to explore at Haddon Hall, half an hour away, Sudbury Hall (home to the National Trust Museum of Childhood), 40 minutes away, and the excellent Chatsworth Estate, half an hour away. If you’re up for riding hair-raising rollercoasters, it’s half an hour's drive to Alton Towers theme park; for a more relaxing ride, check out the steam trains at Churnet Valley Railway, 20 minutes away.
