About the site

Only 30 minutes in the car will take you over to the start of the national park. Simple's the name of the game with tent pitches spread over a spacious grass field. There's no shortage of room to relax, with only ten pitches onsite. Take advantage of that with a cosy campfire all to yourself and toast up some marshmallows! Pitches are mowed into the field for part of the year, giving guests a more private feel to their area while benefiting the wildlife. Don't forget to bring your torch as the site is unlit at night. Perfect for stargazing! Vehicles are not allowed on site but there are handy wheelbarrows available to help you transport your equipment from the car park to your pitch.

Yew Tree Farm is open all year round in 2025 and 2026. Pitches from £18/night for 2 people.

Small Tent - Grass Tent PitchesOct 2025

Firstly, it's VERY cheap so take this into context. Basic facilities, buts it's got what you need…. clean toilets & shower, and a plate wash. Manager Alicia was really nice. No electric hook-ups at this price, but the only realistic thing I'd suggest as a small improvement is a mains socket inside the toilets block entrance (or a weatherproof one outside) to charge a phone if you needed to. Excellent value for money.

Highly recommended

A note from the site themselves...

I love being outside and in nature, so when I had the idea for a campsite, I wanted to make a place I would like to visit.

This site has been created for guests to relax, have a nice area in the field, be able to have a campfire, bring their dogs, have plenty of space so they don't have to listen to their neighbours snore at night and have a toilet block that I would like to use - as sometimes you'd rather not visit the facilities!

I look forward to welcoming you.

Things to do on site and in the Alfreton area

Walks around these parts aren't just for fans of Austen and lovers of Mr Darcy, though the countryside does lend itself to those scenic novels. Limitless incredible walks will take you around the Peaks, with climbing, cave diving and bike rides on the Tissington Trail all well worth exploring.

A couple of showstoppers in the area have to be Matlock and Matlock Bath, with picturesque settings and ideal family options. At Matlock Bath you can have fun whizzing on the rides at Gulliver's Kingdom or seeing the Heights of Abraham.

Top water sports are a thirty minute zoom in the car, with Carsington Water well known for its incredible options. Whether you're dipping your rod in the water or skimming over it in a kayak, canoe or boat, you're sure to be swept up by its beauty.

Don't miss the Crich Tramway Museum for a chance to explore travel the way it once was!
