Another award winning year (added by manager 18 may 2023)

Back to basics site on a peaceful family farm in the Peak District
Outdoor activity paradise; walks, climbs and cycle trails from site
Two pubs and a tearoom within walking distance of the site

From walking through the Deep Dale valley to pretending you’re on a film set in Chatsworth House, tear whichever piece of the Peak District you please from Wild Camping at Barkerfields Farm. This family-friendly back to basics site on a working farm is well-placed for concocting an action-packed plan in the national park. Leave the car behind if you wish, as the site is something of a walkers' paradise, with lots of footpaths and walking routes all around, plus climbs and cycle rides (with bike hire in the area too). What to do first? Sample a beer or two from the brewery in Thornbridge Hall (two and a half hours' walk)? The gorgeous loop towards Lathkill Dale’s waterfalls (half an hour's walk)? A dally along to the Deep Dale Nature Reserve (three hours and 20 minutes' walk) or the Magpie Mine (10 minutes’ walk) to learn about the industrial heritage? A Bakewell pudding in Bakewell (an hour and a half's walk)? If food is the first thing on your mind, there’s a restaurant near the waterfalls or two local pubs and a tearoom serving breakfast and ice cream in Monyash, 25 minutes’ walk away (that's not forgetting the supermarkets in Bakewell, which you can also drive to in five minutes). If you can't move that far, there are usually home-made cakes and snacks to purchase on site too. As the site is a working farm, there may be a few farm noises from time to time. Kites, drones and games in the sky are not allowed, but there’s plenty of space for fun in the peaceful, level-grounded field (cars are parked in a separate designated area for safety). As well as farm-themed activities on selected dates, there are basic facilities on site, including portable toilets (serviced several times per day) and clean running cold water (for drinking or washing your pots and pans).

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: First time camping, trying out the new tent before taking the kids. We had a great time. Beautiful views, the lady was lovely came and met us in the evening with some fire wood, nothing was too much trouble. Massive field, it will be brilliant for the kids to play on. Toilets clean, close to Bakewell where we went for a drink and some food. Also close to Lathkil Dale which is a lovely walk. Had a great weekend , shame the weather wasn’t great we was looking forward to the sunrise over the stunning views. Will be back and hopefully catch it next time. The night sky is simply stunning here.

Disliked: Although it’s a no music site there was a group pitched up who played loud banging music till gone 4am 😴

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed the views as much as we do. You are correct we are a no music campsite. We strive to be family friendly which is why we have a no music policy so as to not wake any children (and why we have a designated car parking area to make the campsite an area children and pets can play without worrying about traffic). I wasn't aware of the loud music being played if I had been then I would have come up and asked them to turn it off, even if that meant in the early hours of the morning. We hope you'll come again.

Local attractions

If you feel like calling into the animal world, Peak Wildlife Park (half an hour's drive) has lemurs, penguins and wallabies. As you’d expect, there’s also plenty of wildlife around the national park and inside the National Trust’s Lyme Park (45 minutes). Down for some rock climbing? Hope Valley Garden Centre’s climbing wall (25 minutes) or The Foundry Climbing Centre (45 minutes) will help you get in some practice. For challenging outdoor walls, Hathersage (25 minutes) is a good spot. Meanwhile, for a traffic-free bike trail through tunnels and limestone valleys, make for the Monsal Trail (10 minutes). Down into the pits… Peak Cavern (35 minutes) has a natural amphitheatre, while Speedwell Cavern (half an hour) has a boat trip into the Bottomless Pit. The Treak Cliff Cavern (35 minutes) is home to the Blue John stone, while the Heights of Abraham (half an hour) has more caverns surrounded by woodlands and gorges (plus cable cars and a playground). And if the kids are looking for a thrill, Alton Towers (35 minutes) and Gulliver’s Kingdom (25 minutes) theme parks are both within easy reach.
