Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely, relaxed campsite, great facilities and very clean. Lots of space setting up camp on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Communal fridge was a very welcome surprise. The lady was great when we got lost on our morning walk and were late for checkout. Would recommend.

Disliked: Nothing to complain about.

James R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Great family-run campsite in a fantastic location with easy access to Bakewell and surrounding Peak District National park. Large grass pitches, plenty of hot water in shower block (£1 charge for 5 minutes) and a great breakfast van on Saturday and Sunday made this a great base for exploring the Peaks for a weekend.

Disliked: Could do with more electric hook up pitches as they only have a few and so we had an un-serviced pitch but not a major issue and the views more than compensated for this.

Local attractions

Eating as much Bakewell pudding as you like is perfectly acceptable because of the abundance of hiking trails on which to burn off the calories (that’s your excuse and you’re sticking to it). The limestone valley of Lathkill Dale, just outside the site, is a very fine place for a walk and has some excellent birdwatching to be done along the way. Further walks await all over the Peak District National Park for all abilities. The relatively gentle paths of Mam Tor and the Ladybower Reservoir are about 40 minutes’ drive away; keen hikers in search of a challenge should aim for Kinder Scout, 50 minutes’ drive away, to climb up to the highest point in the park. A popular option for families (on foot or by bike) is the Monsal Trail (20 minutes' drive), meandering through nature reserves and underground tunnels to finish near Bakewell (for a restorative pudding perchance?). For a spot of history (or to shelter on a damp day), head to Chatsworth, a splendid estate on the banks of the Derwent river half an hour away.
