Rowter Farm Campsite

A aimé Great back to basics on a working farm, flat field ideal for tents and the price is spot on. Close to Mam Tor and great walking loop down to Castleton and back.
If you are a glamper this place is not for you. We will be going back.
I like being able to park next to the tent and use it to shelter from the wind as we were in the middle of the field.

A aimé Great location

N'a pas aimé The site was in my opinion way overbooked, the last time I stayed here they had another field open which made it easier for everyone to find a nice pitch.

The facilities were good so no complaints there.

I feel like staff should be checking what is going on more, there was a large group of men kicking footballs at people's cars and tents and throwing glass bottles around the field and nothing was done by members of staff.

A drunken man kicking tents around and shouting until 4am because he'd lost his dog meant that we didn't get any sleep at all. This went on for hours.

Previous stays on this campsite have been really nice but after everything going on last night, I won't be returning or recommending it to anybody else.

A aimé Can choose your own pitch. Easy check in at the farmhouse. Facilities are okay. Pot wash area, fridges, 1 shower per gender. Great location, local village 10 min drive, close to Mam tor and plenty of other walks nearby. Flat pitches.

N'a pas aimé Quiet hour rules aren’t enforced. It is supposed quiet from 10pm onwards, as with most campsites, - this is not the case whatsoever.
First night, our neighbouring campers had music blaring until 1.30am, singing, obnoxiously loud talking, fire still going. They were an older couple and should have known better.
Second night, a group of young adults again music blaring, loud singing, until 2am. People being sick next to our tent. Balls and Frisbees hitting our car and tent. 1.30am they run around screaming and fall onto our tent.
Another person at 1.30am lost their dog for the 2nd time and was screaming and shouting all over the campsite.

Music alone would not have been an issue, it’s the other childish behaviour that ruins it. We got no sleep because of this.

It sounds like this occurs a lot reading the other reviews. There was no respect for other campers and rules don’t appear to be enforced.

Wouldn’t come here unless you’re fine with being up all night disrupted. We won’t be returning sadly as it’s a great location other than that.

Showers and toilets are a bit grubby but you are camping so it’s to be expected.

A aimé Nice big field. Great location for walks.
Peaceful place, just birds and sheep .

N'a pas aimé Could do with a water pipe at least in the field. We were in a motorhome and couldn't take the vehicle into the yard to fill.

A aimé Location - lovely spot. No midges! Spacious field. Food van serving (limited) hot food.

N'a pas aimé On this occasion I would say the facilities were over-booked. People naturally like to camp around the edge of a field but there wasn't enough room for that. And I don't think there were enough rest-rooms for the number of people. There was no signage from the road so I had to make assumption that camp site was located next to farm house. And finally, I was told to report to farm house on arrival but no answer.
