Ik was blij met 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!

Ik was niet blij met 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.

Ik was blij met Simple but comfortable camp site. A basic toilet, running water and fabulous views. Plenty of space for everyone and walks nearby are a must. My 1 and 4year old loved their time here. Lathkill dale walk is a must.

Ik was niet blij met Nothing to dislike a perfect wild camp site But if your not happy with a field and a toilet to sit on in a shed with no electric and clear open sky's a wild camp is not for you. Also rules are rules to keep everyone safe especially In the very dry conditions.

Ik was blij met It is a wonderful campsite. Lovely views and quiet. Nice friendly owner. Good prices.
Outside washing up facilities were a bonus and the loos were fine. I would definitely come back here.

Ik was niet blij met It was a shame that some other campers pitched up in their bell tent and proceeded to erect a large screen and watch TV on it!! I'd come here to watch the meteor showers. It is a 'wild' campsite so I'd say if you want to watch tv, choose somewhere else! Two others also had bbqs which was pretty risky in the current drought.
