This place is a little gem, nestled in the beautiful village of Birchover with Stanton Moor on the doorstep and some of the finest countryside and quaint villages you could imagine. The site is stunning and very peaceful. The team are outstanding and nothing is too much trouble, and the facilities are awesome. For the bank holiday weekend they even had a pop up pub on the green, a wood fired pizza outlet, as well as a coffee and pancakes van and another serving great value breakfasts. We had a lovely chilled weekend, thanks!

Lovely site

A lovely site, family orientated. Great facilities, with shop and games room. Also they take great effort on Bank Holiday weekends with live bands, mobile bar, and catering vans, and kid inflatables.

Good weekend but poor toilets

Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4)Aug 2022

The facilities were great in that there were food services, bar services etc but the fast food (burger & chips stand) was ridiculously slow. She just could not cope with the amount of people and cooked on demand, which I felt didn't work. The pizza service was brilliant and very well organised. The toilet and shower facilities were a bit messy, and smelly. The toilets were blocked, ran out of toilet roll and hot water for showers and pit washing also ran out. Not enough showers to meet demand, with long queues and then no white water. My children had a lukewarm shower only once. This could do with improvement. The water pressure at the drinking water taps also dropped because of the demand. The toilets never smelled clean and of cleaning products, though staff were in there quite a bit. The bands and entertainment was excellent. The security could have done better at controlling the few people who forgot they were on a family camp site, not at Glastonbury at 2am. Apart from the toilets, showers, cleanliness and hot water issue everything else was great.

What a very well run, friendly campsite

After staying in 2021, when the site was quiet, we came bank holiday weekend and saw the site at a busy time. The staff were always on hand, friendly and helpful and the facilities were as clean as at quiet times. Have recommended to friends and family and will definitely be returning.

Fantastic Bank Holiday

We have been here several times. We particularly like the August Bank Holiday as there is lots to do. Bouncy castles, birds of prey, bands, bar, catering vans etc. It is a really nice atmosphere. Toilets and showers are very good. The only negative about the weekend is some of the other campers who disregard the no noise policy after 10.30pm.

Lovely place

Lovely site with plenty of amenities. Loved the live music and the drinks and food stands. Could do with some outdoor lighting near the outdoor bar.

Great weekend!

Was a great weekend in a lovely location. My only complaint would be that I had a gentleman knocking on my shower door asking when I would be out. Wouldn't usually mind, but I'd only been in there 10 minutes.

Great campsite!

Great campsite, perfect for the kids with plenty for them to do! Campsite arranged some good entertainment throughout the weekend and the facilities were spotless. Showers were a little too hot but other than that… perfect!

Fun at Barn Farm

Great fun on bank holiday weekend. Our group loved the site! Loads to do with a pizza van, shop, park for the kids and own space for playing football/games and climbing in the trees. The boys loved the live music and the cocktails were very good. Would defo recommend. The only negative was the showers in one block were freezing then boiling. Also the toilet block smelt bad all weekend, probably just needed extra cleaning when busy. We'll be back next year

Amazing views

Another fantastic weekend at Barn Farm. We have been coming here for many years and we still think it's the best campsite ever! It's clean and tidy and well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful and keep everything running so smoothly. Plenty of toilet and shower facilities. Bank Holiday entertainment was a real bonus- we loved dancing along to the live bands!

Superb location and facilities

It's the third (and best) time we have stayed here in a group. The campsite is well organised and the facilities are clean and regularly maintained. The site is somewhat hilly so you have to be thoughtful when orienting your tent, but the views are amazing and the access to the moors for lovely walks and scenery is on your doorstep. Despite it being a BH weekend they don't overbook the fields, so there's plenty room. Perfect location.

Fantastic weekend

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1)Aug 2022

We stayed in high summer and it was very popular with big family groups and young kids. It had a "festival" vibe and was pretty lively. They had visiting butty, coffee and pizza vans. The toilets were clean and the basic facilities were good. The shop was a bit disappointing as many campsite shops nowadays stock nice local produce, and this one doesn't. I thought the opening times were also erratic. The village itself is beautiful with walks starting directly from the campsite, and the food at the Red Lion was brilliant. It may be more peaceful at other times of the year but for those wanting a quiet countryside stay, this probably isn't it. Overall not for us, but great for many I'm sure.

Perfect Peak experience

We've been visiting Barn Farm for years. It's in an excellent location and has all the facilities you could wish for - whether you're an old hand or whether you're new to camping. We thought reception staff could be more welcoming, but the campsite as a whole is well looked after. We had a great time!

Very good experience

This is our first time camping and we have had a great experience. We found the facilities here are clean and the shower room is open 24 hours. Highly recommend, especially for the beginner.
