Middlehills Farm is a well established and immaculately kept family-run site, set in 40 acres of land in the heart of the Peak District. It's the perfect spot to light up a campfire and watch the flames dance, meet the farm's friendly resident pigs and pet the ponies. Soak up the tranquil atmosphere from your spacious pitch, or relax and unwind with a little more luxury in one of two quirky glamping pods.

About the site


The farm has been in the Lomas family for more than 30 years and is a well established, peaceful and friendly site. The park is located just inside the south eastern corner of the Peak District, 20 minutes from Matlock and 15 minutes from Bakewell. The site has two large fields for camping and a separate one with a limited number of electric hook-ups (available to both tents and tourers). All are on gently sloping grass and you can pitch wherever you like. The children's play area is a big hit - and you can camp without electric right alongside it if you wish. Those seeking extra comfort will love the site glamping pods, with outdoor decking, a cosy double bed and bunk beds. You are welcome to have open fires, providing they are raised off the ground, and fire pits are available for hire if required. For the kids, friendly Gulliver's Kingdom offers plenty to explore. This is a working farm, with friendly onsite animals - the pigs are always hungry, and the ponies love to be pet! Dogs are welcome on a lead with campers at no charge.

A note from the site themselves...

Middlehills Farm has been a campsite and in the family for over 30 years. It was originally run as a working farm, with holiday cottages, B and B and small campsite, sadly my father in law passed away and my husband and I took over the running of the farm.

16 years later and we no longer farm, but have created a family orientated campsite which many people return to too, due to the outstanding views, excellent play area and friendliness of the campsite, things which we are very proud of, we have worked incredibly hard to create such a great place which is also our home which we can hopefully pass down to our children in the future.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

A very large, beautiful, flat green grass campsite surrounded by fields and gorgeous views. The reception and shop were always available for essentials. The toilet and shower block were always clean and well serviced. The highlight for us (and reason for choosing this site over others) was the very high quality children's playground which proved to be a hub for children to congregate safely and play for hours on end.
