About the site
Set a handy 15 minutes from Bakewell and 20 minutes from Matlock, this scenic farm borders Stanton Moor and is in easy reach of the River Lathkill. The views are worth travelling for, with visits from deer and badgers, plus the popular Limestone Way walking path passes nearby too, ideal for keen hikers. A dedicated camping area is available just for tents - with one field open throughout the season and other fields used at certain times. All of the grass pitches are non electric and allow up to six guests in tents, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. There are also a set of 25 non electric grass tent pitches that are exclusively for families with the adventure park nearby. For caravans, motorhomes, trailer tents, roof tent boxes and campervans, there are three grass and 13 hardstanding pitches available, as well as six hardstanding pitches for campervans only. All of the touring pitches come with an individual 13 amp electric hook up and illuminated bollards and water taps nearby. Do note, you will need to bring levelling blocks as not all pitches are flat. If you're travelling with a group, a spot in the camping barns will suit you perfectly. These can sleep up to 15 people and include a cooking area, cosy bunk beds, toasty heating and access to the shared facilities. For a touch of extra luxury, there are also two well equipped self-catering barns. For guests staying on bank holidays and some weekends (24-25th May, 25-26th July and 23-24th August), you'll be able to join in with family fun activities including firework nights, pop up food vans and bars and local bands! There are even resident alpacas and peacocks to meet, a hit with the little ones. Dogs are also welcome to join you for your stay, with up to two allowed per pitch. Guests can also bring along the BBQ, just please ensure it is raised off the ground. Campfires are not permitted.
