Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 Just returned from our stay at Barn Farm.
I keep returning to this site because it is always very clean, and the grounds are
imaculate.
The site often has a pop up Pizza stall, Breakfast van every morning and I think on one visit a pop up bar.
Located close to Matlock, Bakewell and Carsington water.
Alpachas on the farm and Peacocks roam the site, also 2 very unusual white Peacocks.
we loved our visit and I'm sure will be returning again
Field 2 is definitely the place to stay if you have a tent Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 A very well run camp site, clean with good facilities including a small shop, laundry facilities, fridge and freezer. Some options for toilet and shower facilities, individual adult only showers, individual toilets and wash basins for privacy. Otherwise the usual row of individual showers and separate toilets. Very clean. We stayed on field 2 which is huge and flat, this field is not open all the time. There is another field which is sloping. and is open as a regular field. There is a separate area for caravans. We had never camped before and will definitely be back. The Druid Inn in the village is walkable and has a very nice local gin and great food. Great walks from the campsite to the Nine Ladies Bronze Age stone circle. We walked to Stanton on Peak and had a welcome drink at The Flying Childers. Definitely recommend the site.
Family camping weekend in Derbyshire
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 The campsite is located in Birchover, not far from Matlock.
The joining instructions were very good. It was fairly easy to find although the Sat-nav took us down a bit of a dirt track. I think that was called Birchover Lane. Ignore this and just carry on. It's not much further and better roads. The emails and information we received before we arrived were timely and informative. We had no problem locating the site.
We were met by very friendly lady who explained the layout of the site to us and gave us a site map. We were a family of 12 staying in 4 tents. We booked field two so that we could all be together. This worked extremely well, and we had plenty of space for all of our cooking facilities and BBQ. We used the adult only showers which unfortunately were a little bit cold. The showers in the toilet block, however, were lovely and warm.
The weekend that we stayed a wood fired pizza van and a breakfast butty van were on site for some of the time. We didn't use any of the other facilities, but we had plenty of space for the grandchildren to play football and cricket which was enough for us. We visited Gulliver's Kingdom which was about a 20 minute drive from the campsite. We also had dinner at the Druid's Inn on the Saturday. It was a bit expensive but the homemade food was lovely. It also sold Hawkstone lager which went down well with the men in our party.
In summary, this was a lovely weekend in a beautiful part of the countryside, and well worth the money we paid. We will definitely return.
Lad and dad camping
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 Great stay again at Barn Farm, me and my son had a great stay.Thankyou for accommodating our late change of plans.
Weekend camping
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2025 Lovely stay would thoroughly recommend.
We camped in Field 4 which was great as we were near the kid's play area. The field has a gentle slope but there are some flat areas. Very convenient for the shower/ toilet block as well as pot washing, shop and games room. Take lots of 50p's.
On our first night we ate in the local pub the Red Lion. Food, was very good and not too expensive. However there was a pop up pizza (wood fired) stall at the campsite, also a breakfast stall.
Lastly, my daughter loved the peacocks and alpacas.
fabulous campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2025 stayed on a weekend during school holidays, lots of tents and tourers but the site still didn't feel swamped, they have definitely got it right at this site, lots of facilities which were kept spotless despite being really busy.
There was a welcome bacon butty van in the morning and a pizza van on the night . Lots of thought has gone in to making this a really good campsite with some adult only showers so those without kiddies have some space , and loads of games dotted around for those with kiddies.
well done and we will definitely be back , thanks for a lovely stay
Great campsite and facilities, good location
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 Great campsite and facilities, well run and good for all types, families, friends and children.
2 night stay
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 Loved our stay, it's the 3rd time of visiting. I would say there definitely needed to be more cleaners on site, the toilet bins were overflowing with paper towels, the skips were over flowing with smelly rubbish.
Definitely not as clean as last year when we visited. We had the best time as a family and love it here. Just would have been nice if it was cleaner.
Perfect campsite
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 Fantastic location and facilities. Two great pubs a 5 minute walk away. Pizza available on site and breakfast bar. Staff very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend
Fabulous Ccampsite that is worth recommending to everyone
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 We have had a fantastic experience. The facilities are nice and clean, and the hard work on maintenance shows.
Not only the well-prepared campers but also the casual campers can enjoy the beautiful and peaceful environment. You can do your cooking or buy some delicious pizzas for dinner. A decent breakfast can be purchased on-site. You can walk or hike near the campsite and enjoy the beautiful scenery. As a dog owner, we are so happy that dogs are welcome.
The staff on site are friendly and helpful. It is worth visiting and staying.
Family Camping weekend away
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 Lovely site that is well looked after & maintained, regularly stayed over the years. Nice location with good walks in surrounding areas.
Brilliant campsite
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 Our first time camping and we couldn't have picked a better first campsite experience. Pitch was great, services were excellent, everyone was super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back.
Absolutely great stay!
Small Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2025 Stayed here for two nights this weekend. We had 6 adults and 6 kids.
The campsite is lovely. A huge field so we could set up our camp, and leave loads of room for the kids to play football, fly kites, throw gliders, and run around.
The toilets are all nice and clean. The pizza van on the Friday was superb; we had a great tea from there. The butty wagon is also great; big breakfast cobs kept us fed both mornings.
The camp is a short walk from a couple of local pubs which was nice. There are plenty of bins on site which were regularly emptied.
The staff were nice and the kids loves seeing the Alpaca’s and the peacocks.
It was a lovely stay. Last year we stayed at Callow top. We did miss having a pub / bar on site a little; and I didn’t think there was a play park but actually I think there was and we just didn’t see it.
I would 100% recommend staying here. We would definitely return.
Thank you for a great stay.
A wonderful weekend
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2025 We had the most amazing time at barn farm this weekend. The facilities were great, the shop had everything you would need. It was very tidy and clean and the pizza van and butty/brew van were brilliant. We would love to stay again. Thank you to all who work so hard to keep it as great as it is!
Wow
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2025 One of the most beautiful, well cared for, well equipped sites that we have had the pleasure of staying at.
The site is maintained to such a high standard and is set in the most gorgeous scenery. We camped with a 1 year old and 3 year old and found there to be plenty of entertainment scattered around that we weren't even expecting. The site owners had provided so many things to make the stay comfortable such as a games room, air bed plug point, play park, food vans (on set nights) we feel thoroughly spoilt. knowing now how wonderful it was. I would happily have paid double and we will be returning annually, next time bringing friends!
Top marks!
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2025 Was really surprised with how much thought had gone into the facilities at the campsite.
Plenty of pot washing areas, drinking water areas, loads of individual shower rooms which we so clean! Toilets lovely and clean. Loads of bins around the site for rubbish, games room, table tennis and netball outside for kids. Was great! The peacocks wandering around added to the experience. Lovely walks nearby and pubs.
Overall lovely, clean quaint and quiet campsite! We stayed on the family field and no noise after 10.30, which everyone adhered to.
Amazing place

Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2025 We had a great 2 night stay. We are not seasoned campers but we have the basic kit and knowledge. The site was wonderful made better on this particular weekend by having entertainment on both nights.
Facilities great, all clean and lovely hot water!
A wonderful weekend
Small Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2025 Our weekend couldn’t have been better!
When we first arrived and saw how busy it was (and how much busier it got) my heart sank but we had a great weekend! We camped at the bottom of the field where it was flat and we were far enough away from the music to hear it but for it not to be intrusive. When the music ended and things came to an end, the site quietened almost immediately.
The staff were amazing: friendly, patient and SO hardworking and the attention to cleanliness was excellent.
Our children loved all the activities, the ‘train’ being a particular hit, a brilliant add-on from last year!
Thank you, thank you Barn Farm. Another brilliant weekend.
