Never disappoints
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2026 Stayed at this campsite numerous times and repeatedly keep going back. Provides everything you need for the Peak District. Location, friendly, immaculate, Great walks and shops 10 mins drive. 10/10.
Lovely location - hilly!
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jul 2026 Excellent site location wise, easy access to matlock, bakewell and the dales. Facilities clean enough. Little shop and info.
Reception lady was very nice and explained everything. We were shown a pitch in the bottom, quiet field but I asked to move up to tourer field as it was so far from loo (I get up in the night!). All good, she said pick anywhere, except we just couldn't find a pitch anywhere that was flat enough - even with our blocks. Subsequently we got no sleep as I was rolling downhill into poor hubby. Sadly, we had to leave next day and find another campsite.
If you have 2ft high blocks, it's wonderful. Ours sadly weren't high enough.
A great site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jul 2026 Nice surroundings made for a peaceful trip.
The campsite is spacious, so even when other campers are nearby it doesn't feel cramped, at least in the caravan/camper bit where I was. Its got everything you need, plenty of water and washing points. A little shop, games room, laundry room etc. The toilets and showers are clean and there's plenty of them so no issues there.
There was a visible but non intrusive security patrol in the evening, which was good. Owner was also helpful when needed. Can't fault it!
Very clean
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2026 Very well run. Everything is very clean and there were no queues at all for toilets and showers.
There was personnel around in the evening to ensure everything was orderly. Great views from top of field 1 though the ground has a slope so you need to be careful where you pitch.
Good site, great location
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2026 This is our 2nd stay at Barn Farm and it's a brilliant location for some good walks.
A couple of pubs very nearby and the site itself offers a good standard of facilities. Shower and loos were cleaned regularly and the site staff are lovely.
Our only negative was that we were located on Field 1 which, unless you're on site early, is quite a steep bank. Had we known the main field was being used for a D of E event we might have stayed elsewhere. The D of E group were perfectly well behaved but staying on the hill was not fun. Cooking, sleeping and even the kids playing was all difficult and I think the site should pre-warn guests so you at least have the choice.
We will stay again but not if we're booked into this field,
Great place
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2026 Really enjoyed it and staff were really good and helpful.
And no midges win win.
Gorgeous site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2026 Gorgeous campsite. Will definitely return. But, would try to avoid such a busy time.
Well managed site, great base for Peak District walking
Small Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jun 2026 We return to Barn Farm most summers in early June to do some walking in the surrounding hills.
It's a fantastic location for this, with several walks possible from the site itself. Being based at the edge of Birchover, it's only a short walk to the 2 pubs, though you can't get meals every night.
The gorgeous village of Winster is a couple of miles away and also has 2 pubs. The site itself is very well managed and clean, with grass regularly mowed.
The only downside, which applies to many other sites too, is the influx of Duke of Edinburgh students at certain times, when there can be queues for toilets. However, the large shower rooms available for adults only mean there's no queueing for those. I do feel that an extra toilet/shower block on the DofE field would be a good investment.
Overall, we love it here and are already looking forward to our next visit!
Can't fault it!

Staff are a very welcoming and friendly. Fantastic all round. Stayed here regularly.
Lovely site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2026 Very clean well organised site , great location for Bakewell and Matlock
Only down side was some uneven pitches and we were unable to level our caravan but was ok for the 3x nights we stayed
Liked that the day we arrived we could choose our pitch with a water tap which was a bonus
Amazing place
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jun 2026 Absolutely lovely place to stay - we went mid week in a hest wave, managed to stay cool, could freeze ice packs and use fridge, site immaculate, staff very helpful, friendly and available. Quiet, with lots of birds and a hedgehog!
Lovely weekend away
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2026 We loved every bit: great location in the heart of Peak District, super friendly amd helpful hosts, well looked after pitches and spotless toilet/shower facilities. Highly recommend and will be coming back!
Fabulous Campsite!
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jun 2026 This was the 3rd year in a row we have visited Barn Farm and as always the facilities and site as a whole were fantastic.
Superb
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jun 2026 Beautiful site that is well run by a very friendly team. Would not hesitate in returning.
Non electric grass pitch on field one
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jun 2026 Lovely clean, well managed site in a good location. If it is walking the dales you are after, then it is the perfect place to pitch up.
Onsite shop has the basics but if you require the bigger essentials, then there is an Aldi in Bakewell which is about a 25 minute drive. Two local pubs in the village, but only one serves food and has limited opening times, so do the research first. There were a lot of Duke of Edinburgh students stopping on various nights but again this was really well managed with them being on an allocated field away from the main pitches.
The main shower block is adults only and there was never a wait to use one. Overall, I was really impressed with every aspect of this site and value for money.
Lovely site

Roof Tent - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2026 very good facilities and the staff were very helpful
Great family site
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jun 2026 Our second visit to Barn Farm and our first stay in the family camping field. The family field is great for having extra space for kids to play.
The site was busy but not overly - where there are pitches they are spaced well, and the family field has enough space for plenty of tents.
The peacocks were very popular with the kids in our group - they are noisy but didn't bother us.
The only downside for us was that a very noisy group were pitched across the field and we were kept awake by really bad language most of the night. Since it's advertised as a family field and we had young kids with us, this was disappointing. It would be helpful if the site management could do something to follow up on their rules on quiet after 10pm, and to make sure family friendly spaces remain family friendly.
Really pleased and happy with this place xx
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jun 2026 We were really lucky to see the surroundings and quality time to have with each other before partner was hammed with work at the farm !
