What customers say
Great spot for hikers at Mam Tor's foot, with direct trail access. Praised for views, vibe, and staff. Basic but clean loos, hot showers, wash-up. Food vans weekends a bonus. Good value for Peaks access, though facilities are simple and noise can happen.

Liked Location, no frills camping! Good place to get away with limited phone signal.
Disliked For the final extra star, a few more showers and toilet would be good

I would definitely recommend a visit – it’s a great campsite!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The wall and the trees help to shelter you from the wind, but don’t rely on them 100% 😃
There’s a shop, a shower and a toilet, and they even serve breakfast and dinner in the mornings and evenings – sold from a small van, so you’re welcome
Disliked Not much space in the toilets and showers + queues
Toilets – two cubicles and one urinal in the men’s, and two cubicles in the ladies’
Showers – (literally just one cubicle) one for men and one for women + £1 for a machine that runs for 3 minutes and doesn’t let you adjust the temperature = long queues

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Stunning location, quiet and easy to find. Zero road noise and mostly level.
Disliked Lack of Elsan point. We asked around but apparently there’s no place to empty your toilet cassette.
Poor phone signal and no WiFi options but it is a remote area.
Very basic campsite. No pitch segregation just a field that you choose yourself where to set up. Works well and the site is mostly flat.
On Saturday they had a pizza van which went down well with many campers.
Fire pits are available to hire and they also sell wood.
Quite site with zero road noise and not too many birds shouting their heads off before dawn. ( I didn’t hear any )
As long as you are self sufficient you will like this site, a fair mix of campers ( tents, campers and motorhomes)

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We had a fantastic stay at this campsite. It’s a working farm, which gave it a lovely, authentic feel, and the family who run it were incredibly welcoming and friendly throughout our visit.
There’s a small on-site shop stocked with essentials, and on Saturday evenings they offer jacket potatoes and freshly made pizzas, which was a great touch after a day outdoors.
The facilities were clean and well maintained, with showers available for £1. While everything was great, the real star of the show for us was their adorable little Jack Russell, who seemed to make it his mission to check in on all the campers. He regularly wandered around the site saying hello and brought a smile to everyone’s face.
A friendly, relaxed campsite with a wonderful atmosphere. We’d happily stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine countryside camping experience.

Great location being so close to Mam Tor and Castleton.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Stunning location, being on a farm, beautiful walks directly from the farm, lovely grass, relaxed and informal. Toilets and showers basic, but sufficient and clean. There are quainter sites around, but this suited us needing to fit a camper and a caravan.
Disliked It was a warm week-end and the field was busy. The business didn’t matter because we were lucky enough to be surrounded by other respectful campers, which created a fun, almost festival like atmosphere. One anti-social group playing loud music would have spoilt it with pitches being quite close together.

Liked Great site for a quick stay on a very friendly farm site
Choice of jacket potato or pizza on Saturday evening 18:00-20:00 hrs
Brilliant for walking and in the summer you can catch the open top bus tour to Chatsworth and beyond from near the farm drive gate
We will be using and recommending it in the future

Liked Beautiful setting. Friendly owners. Handy for Castleton.
Disliked Not enough toilets/ showers for the large site that it was. Although dogs were supposed to be on leads there lots running free. Could be positive or negative - poor phone signal.
