Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker)

Liked: We came as a trip away , we have been trying to find a nice campsite for a while which is safe but also private , Joe who owned the pitch was fantastic making sure we was ok and checking up on us , there is a portaloo on site for toilet facilities and the local town has everything you might need , amazing location and we are returning in two weeks time ! We also brought our dog who loved the open space and site , views are incredible around the area and we also chose to add a fire pit which was great at nighttime and Joe was great making sure we had enough wood , definitely recommend !

Disliked: Nothing

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Liked how they left you to get on with it and find your own pitch.

From the manager: Hi Kelly, thank you for your feedback - we have made improvements to the site this year - ensuring the toilets are more central to the camping field and ensuring the grass is freshly cut. We are a quiet, family friendly site and do our best to maintain this. We hope we get chance to welcome you again this season. Take care, Joe & Robyn

Cheryl H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely no frills campsite in a beautiful location. We pitched towards the top of the field for the better views. Such a scenic and tranquil place. There was only one other tent so it was almost like wild camping! Joe was so friendly and welcoming. Toilets were clean. We would definitely return.

Disliked: The field is quite uneven but we were fine on an airbed. The midges were horrendous! We got over 59 bites each but this is natures fault, not the sites!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review. We are so sorry you ended up with bites and we would love to see you again next year. Thanks Joe and Robyn

Local attractions

Make sure you’ve got your walking boots in your luggage when you set off here – you’ll need them for strolls on Marsden Moor, walks along the canal path through Standedge Tunnel and hikes through the Peak District National Park. The edge of the park is about five minutes’ drive away, with popular local walks at Butterley Reservoir (five minutes’ drive), Folly Dolly Falls (15 minutes) and Holme Moss (25 minutes). Even if you don’t immediately recognise the name Holmfirth (20 minutes), you may well find it’s familiar when you get there – the town was the location of the TV series Last of the Summer Wine, and visitors can stop by at Sid’s Café and Compo’s home before boarding a vintage bus to see some of the locations. A couple of other excellent days out nearby are at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (45 minutes), which has a collection of contemporary art around its historic estate, and the National Coal Mining Museum for England (40 minutes), in one of the UK’s oldest working mines and with a train ride and pit ponies to its name too.
