You can find some great countryside walks with the Pennine Bridleway next door to the site, or venture out to Buxton just 15 minutes in the car. BBQs are welcome or the local pub is just a 15 minute walk from site.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2026

Absolutely beautiful campsite. Amazing views and great walks ; we walked to Castleton, which is a must, if you haven't visited before. Lovely local pub which serves food. Stephanie was very helpful and always out and about making sure the facilities were clean and stocked up. Fantastic weekend break, will definitely visit again. Thank you Stephanie!

Lovely peaceful campsite.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2026

This campsite was a great base for exploring the Peak District with it being a short drive to Bakewell, Buxton, Castleton and other pretty villages surrounding. The site was clean and peaceful and the facilities were good. The toilets were kept clean and the showers were hot. The only thing that would make it better would be having more than two showers as it can get quite busy at the weekends. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be returning.

Lovely site

Just back from 4 nights at this campsite and what a beaut it is! Large field with plenty of space, we pitched our tent near the two outdoor sinks which are super handy, and close to the friendly donkeys! :) The site offers plenty of space with view across the valley where you can watch the sun set. Plenty of sheep in the surrounding hills which provide a lot of baa-ing (which was nice!) plus cows in the cow shed. The showers work really well and there's plenty of loos - all kept very clean. Alongside the outdoor sinks there is an indoor one beside a small communal forage and freezer. The site allows dogs, campfires and BBQs. which was a must for us. The extreme warm weather meant the last two nights we couldn't have a fire pit though due to the earth being like tinder! Everyone was super friendly and Stephanie made her rounds every day chatting with everyone and recommending places to visit/eat. Ideally located for a visit to Mam Tor - 11 minute drive to the car park - so we visited that the first day then made a 4am trip up on the last day for the sunrise - well worth it! Pick this site if you want a quieter more relaxing vibe.No onsite shop or play park means you wont be pestered by thousands of kids but YOUR kids will have plenty of space to play. Stephanie said it get very busy so that have another field they open at weekends. All in all one of the nicest campsites we have stayed and I'd absolutely recommend this place! Great location to explore the Peak District.

Loved the site, clean facilities, friendly staff

Last minute decision so booked. Clean facilities, friendly staff and great location. Was a little loud late on with a group on the site but nothing too bad.

Great site in a beautiful farm setting equipped with good facilities (plenty of toilets, fridge and hot showers). Good pubs in castleton for food and lots of lovely footpaths all around.

We are regular campers and decided to spend one night in the peaks. Having spent the day at my son’s graduation in Nottingham we needed somewhere not too far away and with basic amenities to make the most of our weekend before heading back to work!! This site suited us down to the ground!!! No strict Do’s and don’ts - just easy to follow, sensible rules and regulations with good clean facilities. What more could you want for an overnight stay?!

Kept very clean and hosts very on the ball. My grandson commented on the sheep baaing and thought they were underground. He slept through though. We had a lovely time and hope yo be back

Enjoyable farm stay

Great for the couple of nights we needed. You are on a working farm, so do be aware of the smells and sounds of cows, sheep and donkeys that comes with it. Great views of the sunset over the peaks. Good amount of toilets and lovely hot showers available. I would advise a freezer that has shelves rather than the box style to help people identify their items. But, overall enjoyable stay and would return.

First camping trip

Myself and my partner stayed here for 3 nights with our dog and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The shower block and the toilets were always clean and well stocked and we constantly saw Stephanie making sure they stayed this way. The little freezer in the shower block was brilliant addition to have also. The site was well maintained all over in general. We will definetly recommend people to stay at Sweet Knoll and we will definetly come back and stay again in the future.

Absolutely Fabulous...loved it here!

We had a fantastic trip as a group of 11. Absolutely beautiful setting in the Peak District farmlands. Loved the views from the site. Really appreciated the hosts attention to detail (rental of fire pits, fire wood, cleaning on facilities daily, coming round checking we were okay). Their friendly mends allowed us to feel relaxed on site and welcome. We used it as a base for a walking holiday and it was ideal. Although there are only 2 showers that did get busy we simply adapted our timings and this was no worry or bother at all to us. We would 100% recommend this campsite and will be revisiting again next year! Thank you so much for having us.

Great site

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2026

The campsite is located in a beautiful part of the Peak District. The views from the lower field is lovely and far reaching. It was also the quietest campsite we have stayed at for many years; no road, rail or aircraft noise. The owner was friendly, easy going and helpful. The facilities were spotless and well stocked. We never had to wait to use the toilet but there are just two showers and quite a queue when I tried to use it. It was a busy weekend but only two fields were open. As a result, the lower field was full and we felt a little packed in. The Devonshire Arms pub down the hill served good 'pub grub' and was only a 15 minute walk from the campsite. A perfect stagger back up the hill having watched England beat the Norwegians.
