  • Grass pitches on a farm overlooking Arnfield Reservoir, Derbyshire
  • On the Trans Pennine Trail and 10 minutes’ drive from the Pennine Way
  • Walking and cycling accessible from the site; café-bar on site
Keen to get some hiking in? Crossgate Farm Campsite may be just the spot for you. Set on a working farm with views over Arnfield Reservoir and Longdendale on the outskirts of Tintwistle, Derbyshire, this is a smashing place for walkers and bikers, as guests have direct access to the Trans Pennine Trail, the Pennine Bridleway and Pennine Cycleway Route 68 from the site. Pick-up from public transport can also be arranged so you don’t need to worry about bringing a car. You can pitch up pretty much anywhere you want in the slightly sloping camping field, and while dogs are welcome on your Derbyshire farm stay, please keep them on a lead around the cattle. You’ll also probably be joined at some stage by the free-range chicks, guinea fowls and peacocks. Amenities-wise, the site has toilets and showers with separate male and female facilities. There is a café-bar on site, but if you prefer to do your own meal prep, barbecues are permitted on the camping field (bring your own gear). The village of Hollingworth (five minutes’ drive) has a small convenience store as well as pubs and takeaways.

What customers say

Crossgate Farm: Awesome views, lekker staff & cafe/bar. Goats a hit! Great for walks. Mostly clean, new facilities, though portaloos and dishwashing areas could be better. Hilly terrain, some sloped pitches. Basic, but worth a return trip!

Leanne H.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Family of 3 visit 2 adults 1 child.

Campsite was clean and tidy. Able to park car next to pitch.
Washroom/showers clean and well maintained.
Washing up area available with warm water and soap, sheltered

Did not use the bar and cafe but looked very nice. A wedding took place the weekend we were there and not disrupt our weekend at all.

Horses, goats and peacocks on site, great for the whole family.

Walked to the bulls head for some food and walked the seven falls Hike. The weather was kind to us.

Would highly recommend this campsite. Will definitely be returning!

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great campsite, amazing views and walks nearby, relaxed atmosphere, and goats!! Toilets and showers were always spotless.

Disliked On a hill so not many flat pitches, may be an issue if busy but it was quiet when I was there so always managed to get a good spot.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely owners , great site ,bathrooms good with hot showers, lovely to see the horses in the field next to you ,barn is brilliant great cafe/bar area

Disliked Nothing they can do, but the midges are the worst I've ever seen anywhere, I had well over 200 bites on my face alone just from setting up it was horrific, had to pay for 3 showers a day to ease the itching, couldn't leave as I was working all weekend so that was our reason for camping at this location, maybe a strong warning to bring bug spray would be helpful,

Local attractions

There’s bike hire in Hadfield (five minutes’ drive) for cyclists keen to embark on the Pennine Cycleway Route 68, which can be accessed from the camping field along with the Pennine Bridleway and Trans Pennine Trail. There is a connection to the Pennine Way at Torside Reservoir (10 minutes). If you’re just not that into the long-distance, serious hiking stuff, you can still get plenty of bracing Derbyshire air fishing at Arnfield Fly Fishery (five minutes’ walk), practising your swing on 18-hole golf courses (20 minutes) and exploring Pennine trails on horseback (15 minutes). Birdwatchers might get lucky and see curlews and red grouse flitting around the water at Dove Stone Nature Reserve (25 minutes), or woodpeckers, long-tailed tits and owls at Eastwood Nature Reserve (10 minutes). Keep an eye out for hares, red grouse and warblers as you circumnavigate Ladybower Reservoir (half an hour), or see if you can spot harriers high above rugged Kinder Scout (50 minutes).
