Lovely site, great location, and friendly owner makes you feel very welcome.
The facilities are very basic but very cleverly designed alternative to a portaloo. We were staying over the August bank holiday weekend, and we never had to queue for the loo.
Fire pits are available to hire and logs to purchase.
The site is located between two lovely walks to great pubs.
Even when busy the site had a great atmosphere, it was a lovely bank hol weekend with everyone sat around camp fires.

Loved my nights stay here and I would definitely stay here again. Perfect site for getting closer to the wild camping experience. All the other guests were well spaced out, giving us that little bit of privacy and they were respectful with the camp fires and noise levels. The owner came around in the early evening to check on everyone, he was very friendly and helpful. The fields are slanted in some places, but suitable pitches can be found if you have a good look around. I spotted this campsite on the other side of the Lathkill valley and wondered if it was a good place to stay, I can happily say that it is and it has beautiful views of the Lathkill valley and if your a star gazer this is a great place to see the skies.

Google maps directs you to a random gate at the top of the owners field (the owner has been working with Google maps to correct this, with no luck so far) however, the owner has places signs up around the gate and entrance to the access road to the site to help guide you the right way.

Proper campsite, with stunning scenery, in a beautiful part of the world, run by smashing people and with everything you need and nothing you don’t. One of our faves 😁

The fact that we had to leave!! 😂

Left to pitch up and was nice to chose own spot.

Friendly staff and helpful with fire pits and logs.

Good knowledge of overall area.

Location 1st and foremost
Good value
Fire pits allowed

Cleanliness of toilets could be improved

We travelled in our VW camper as a couple in our mid 40's for our maiden voyage this past Saturday. We found the site to be really clean and tidy with permanent plumbed in toilets on site.
The owner came and introduced himself and spoke to us for 5 minutes, he was lovely and friendly and had a supply of fire pits and logs on his quad trailer.
There was also an ice cream tlcan that came on site which was a nice touch too. We will be returning to Lathkill soon 😊.

This site is in a beautiful location, in a part of the Peaks I've not visited before. Facilities are basic so you do need to be prepared. (They do clearly state this.)
Lots of good walks locally, including through the lovely Lathkill Dale; and also Bakewell is about three miles away with a route available that is mostly on footpaths with just a little bit of road. The nearest pub is about a mile away, and shut on Mondays.

Nice clean site, basic as 'wild' would suggest. They do have toilets, water taps, and waste bins.
No electric, some pitches are on uneven ground but their are some flat pitches and you can pitch where you choose.
Very nice owner

Good location for local walks, toilets works well and were generally clean. Laid back atmosphere. Can choose where to pitch.

No where to wash dishes

Views, friendly host
