About Upper Hurst Farm
The owners welcome you to a rural paradise. Sitting up in the southern Peak District National Park, the site has an ethos of peace and tranquillity, focused on preserving the natural world and working sustainably. This is a space where you can escape the rush of the rest of the world and reconnect with the great outdoors. The views at this site are stunning, and walking in any direction gets you into the open countryside in minutes. Whenever you feel like exploring further, all the best-known market towns of the Peaks are within roughly 10 miles of your base: Bakewell, Ashbourne, Leek and Buxton. All 40 pitches are on a large, gently sloping field boasting open views and high-quality facilities with underfloor heating nearby. Tent campers enjoy grass pitches with and without electric, while super pitches are complete with all the connections you need for tourers. In a private little spot, the Gaia's Hideaway is an authentic Mongolian yurt. Sleeping two, it contains a log burner and wood-fired hot tub to unwind in after exploring the forest. Gaia Lodge, a cute stone cottage for two, with a log burner and wood-fired hot tub, also enjoys panoramic views. The Manifold Trail is less than a mile away, the Tissington Trail is only 3 miles away, and it's just 11 miles to the Monsal Trail. Dogs are welcome.
The site is open all year for caravans and tents, while the yurt is available from February until November.
Site facilities include high quality, fully accessible toilet and shower block with underfloor heating. Other facilities include a kitchen area for washing up and a washing machine, dryer and small freezer for ice packs. Wi-Fi is available. There is a dedicated 4.5-acre field for dog walking and another with swings and slides for children.
Eggs are available from the free-range chickens. There is a family, and dog-friendly pub within walking distance called the Manifold Inn.

We stayed here for the weekend in our VW campervan. It was excellent. The facilities were great and warm and the clean showers were hot. There was a kitchenette area as well. The views are stunning. We went to the local pub, The Manifold, which was also great and only a 10 minute walk away. Hartington is also beautiful, I would highly recommend.
Absolutely perfect

It was our first time ever camping, on my husbands 40th birthday to test out his newly converted campervan and awning. They helped us set up the awning, even giving us some stone pegs for free as we came completely unprepared! The shower block was warm and very clean and that, the shop and the kitchen area had everything we needed. Lovely little town a short walk away, as well as a couple of nice pubs. The views from the site were wonderful as well as both the sunset and sunrise. Thank you for a wonderful first time camping! We'll definitely be back (and fully prepared next time! 🤣)
