Rowter Farm Campsite

A aimé : Location is beautiful, good pitches. The food van now takes card which is really helpful.

N'a pas aimé: Food can only open for 2 hours a day. Would be great to be able to grab a hot drink in a morning. Also, no WIFI - signal is non existent so WIFI definitely needed.

A aimé : Shower and toilet facilities were good, jacket potatoes available to buy on a Saturday night.

N'a pas aimé: No enforcement of site rules… the campsite was very noisy after 10pm until 1:30am which was very annoying. We feel this is more of a party/ groups campsite because of its location.

A aimé : Lovely working farm campsite. Good shower and toilet facilities. Lovely jacket potato van on site on Saturday evening with a bonus of a lovely Lemon drizzle cake! I had no WiFi service but that was a welcomed break. Excellent location for Castleton. All in all a lovely, welcoming camp site. We had such a lovely weekend 😊

N'a pas aimé: Nothing- all was spot on.

A aimé : Castleton was a lovely area

N'a pas aimé: We didn’t realise that the camp site allowed large groups of lads. Due to this we had to listen to loud music and their drunken behaviour until nearly two o clock in the morning We would never return back to this site again

A aimé : Excellent location with fantastic views! Good field although a little soggy - it had rained a lot!

N'a pas aimé: There were 2 x large DOE groups and a large mature group staying so the site was quite noisy and busy - would have been better if they had limited group numbers. This meant the facilities weren’t the best (no fault of the owners, just so many people they couldn’t keep up to the needs such as toilet paper!)

A aimé : The location of this campsite was fantastic. Mam tor is a very short walk away, as are the Caverns (Blue John, Treak Cliff etc). Castleton is around 30-45 minute walk and is beautiful. It's a small town but has all the basics and lots of pubs. Chapel-en-Frith is a short drive away too so good if you need supermarkets (Aldi and Morrisons). The field did very well despite a pretty wet week. The car didn't get stuck once and no wellies were needed. The facilities are basic but that was what we wanted. There's a shower (separate men and womens), toilets (also separate men and womens), washing up area, fridge/freezer and a plug to charge phones. There is nowhere to lock up your phone whilst charging it but we left our phones several times and felt safe doing it. The showers require a £1 coin and last for 3 minutes. They are good showers with high water pressure and very warm. There is a basic shop at the farmhouse which sells normal bits and pieces like fire wood, kindling, marshmallows, crisps, milk and eggs etc. They are cash only. There was a jacket potato van which I believe usually opens on the weekend. We missed it this weekend so I can't comment too much more on this. Owners are friendly. As it is a working farm it can be a bit difficult to get hold of them at times, but most of the time we didn’t have to wait long if we needed to speak to them.

N'a pas aimé: Our only complaint was noise. Unfortunately I didn't heed the warnings from other reviews about noise and hoped that they had just been unlucky. We struggled to sleep on about 4 out of 6 nights because of noisy campers. There is a no noise after 10pm rule but this is not enforced. The noise was all because of groups of young adult lads who were staying for a night. They would blare music and shout to eachother, into the early hours. We asked most of them to quiet down but unfortunately this would usually not last. Unfortunately it seemed a few of them were going out of there way to be obnoxious and seemed to find it funny that we had asked them to be quiet. By the end of our stay we were pretty exhausted from lack of sleep, and were quite grateful for nights where is was rainy or windy enough to drown out noise. The noise is the reason that I would not stay here again, which is unfortunate because the stay was otherwise pleasant and, as I have mentioned, the location was fantastic. There were also 3 large Duke of Edinburgh groups during our 6 day stay. They were well behaved though and teachers did a good job of keeping them quiet after 10pm. Also the skip bin was overflowing. This did seem to be mostly because of other patrons failing to open the bin properly to put stuff in the back, and we did see the owners having to push things back themselves. I would have liked to be able to recycle some items but as there was only a general waste bin (plus a food bin in the kitchen) it all had to go in there.

A aimé : Great location. Peaceful area. Friendly staff

N'a pas aimé: We wanted to purchase eggs and fire logs, however it was cash payment only. Would be great if card payment was an option 🙂
