About the site
Ideally located on the edge of the Peak District, in the village of Chelmorton, the park is also just a short drive from the market town of Bakewell and spa town of Buxton.
Valuing quality over quantity, this small site is home to just 15 touring pitches. Each one is spacious and surrounded by stunning landscaping for the dual win of privacy and pretty colour.
There are four different pitch types to choose from, sleeping between four and six people. There are just two non electric hardstanding pitches for small campervans only and two small electric hardstanding pitches for small campervans only.
Then there are seven fully serviced hardstanding pitches with electric, water hook up and drainage, suitable for a caravan, awning and a car. Finally, there are four large fully serviced hardstanding pitches with electric, water and drainage which allow larger motorhomes.
This friendly park is the perfect place to seek your own space and settle for a little while.
A maximum of three dogs are welcome per pitch, just please keep them on the lead unless in the enclosed exercise field.
Campfires are not permitted.

A note from the site themselves...
Farditch Farm is a family run site and has been born from our farming roots.
Our farming involves traditional grass fed Pedigree Angus and our Texel cross sheep are reared in sync with the surrounding environment. We like to think the Caravan Park has the same ethos. It's a relaxed affair but has top notch facilities that we are really proud of.
The environment is important to us, as you would expect from our green beginnings, we have solar panels on our shed of which the surplus we store for use on site!
We may not be visible on site all the time or be there to welcome you as we have the stock to tend to but we are always monitoring it and contactable. We love that guests want to come and stay on our site to enjoy the area that we live and work in everyday.

New to motorhoming and learning about different sites but wow, what a lovely place.
Plenty of space on the pitches, all services accessible and maintained. Toilet and showers again, clean and well maintained with oodles of hot water.
As the site is quite high in the peaks it is naturally windy but pitches are sheltered.
All in all a great place and base for the peak district.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding PitchesJun 2025
Great campsite.
The facilities are amazing for a campsite this size. Toilets, showers and kitchen area clean. The showers are the normal type not the dreaded push button. The communal area is a nice touch with comfortable seats and loads of information on what to do.
The pitches are all hardstanding and most have electric hookup. We stayed on non electric and had the benefit of the views. There is also a small dog walking field.
Highly recommended. We will be back. We really enjoyed talking to the owner/farmer while he tended his sheep.
