Liked Camping just how it should be! If you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle and experience true peace and quiet, Lathkill Wild Campsite delivers on every front. This site offers a wonderfully authentic, off-grid feel without sacrificing essential comforts. While the site is remote, it was remarkably easy to find using the precise pin drop provided in the booking confirmation email. Upon arrival, we were free to choose our own spot across a few different fields. Even though the campsite was quite busy, the layout is so expansive that everyone had an incredible amount of space with plenty of distance between pitches. Being completely surrounded by rolling fields and hills made sitting outside the tent an absolute joy. The atmosphere was pure heaven: completely free from light and noise pollution, and filled with respectful fellow campers. (Bonus points to the vigilant farm owner, who swiftly stepped in when a group lit a campfire!) The facilities are well-maintained and practical. There are three individual, very clean flushing toilet cubicles complete with sinks, plus a men's urinal. Just remember to bring your own toilet rolls and hand soap. Drinking water taps and huge rubbish bins are also conveniently located on-site. Its location is a fantastic base for exploring. We took a short trip a couple of miles away to Magpie Mine, a fascinating and remarkably well-preserved disused lead mine. We also explored the nearby charming town of Bakewell, with it's amazing old church high on the hill and a great walk along the river with it's many geese and swans which was simply beautiful. Unfortunately, we were only there for one night, but we would definitely go again. Whether you want to hike local history or simply sit back and soak in the breathtaking views, Lathkill Wild Campsite is a phenomenal choice. Highly recommended!

Disliked If we had to pick one downside, most pitches sit on a slope, meaning you need to be mindful of where and how you pitch your tent. However, this is quite typical for traditional farm campsites so was nothing unexpected.

Liked Easy check in. Great location, close to LLandudno. Unlimited space for the pitch, peace and quiet, no noise or light pollution. I've seen a lot of bad reviews about the toilets, no they're not 5* but they were functional and clean , with hot water and plenty of toilet paper.

Disliked Dog mess behind our tent (not campsites fault)

Liked Amazing views from the top field we were in, but be aware it slopes as it’s on an hill, but worth it for the views. Unlimited pitch size. Very quiet and peaceful and totally dark which was great. Good base for walking and exploring. Good traditional basic camping in great surroundings for a good price.

Disliked Lack of signage/information on site. First field was full except from a space in the corner. Noticed that someone was walking up a hill and followed them to discover another field. The space where we were originally going to camp was actually the access to the fields up the hill.
