Burrs Manor Wild Camping

Polubione: Location - conveniently close to both Bakewell and Buxton with ample walking and hiking nearby.

Niepolubione: Facilities - there's a big sign on the gates saying to call a number before proceeding, which when called we were advised that the top field is "destroyed" and we "might get stuck" driving in, or we could go down to the bottom of the field which is in better condition, shaded more from the wind, but we'd have to walk to the toilets and showers. (We chose the bottom as the top field was appalling). We found a small toilet block next to the bottom field which had no running water or toilet flushes, and worst the entire building was caked in black mould which the owners had left a bottle of "anti mould" cleaner in to treat with - clearly they knew. If these toilets had an 'out of order' sign on, we'd never have known or gone in but to see that was frightening. Then to have to walk up the steep hill every time we wanted to go to the toilet or to have the queue for the single shower which was lukewarm at best and barely trickled out, we considered just going to a hotel for the night until we found somewhere else to camp for the rest of our trip.

Polubione: Back to basics, nearly wild camping, fantastic location, beautiful scenery and environment very friendly, helpful owner. Fair price, facilities meet basic needs. Ideal for people who love camping without frills, just the freedom of being outdoors.

Polubione: Nothing because we didn’t get to stay here, no motorhome pitches and a dirty toilet hut. Essentially just a muddy field.

Niepolubione: Getting stuck in the mud and the dirty toilet.

Polubione: Nice views and scenery

Niepolubione: The field was too boggy for motorhomes/campervans to stay, I think this should be made clearer in the wetter months. Lost deposit as we had to move on.

Polubione: The views

Niepolubione: Campsite felt quite disorganised which I guess is its charm but we had a couple of vans parked really close and we got no instructions on anything when we arrived. Very muddy too

Polubione: The views from the campsite were stunning, the local pub the church in was lovely with a nice outdoor area to sit in a simple pub grub to warm up, toilet and shower facilities were nice and cleaned daily

Niepolubione: The washing up station had no hot water so we had to use the toilets water which was fine unless the toilets were busy
