Middlehills Farm is a well established and immaculately kept family-run site, set in 40 acres of land in the heart of the Peak District. It's the perfect spot to light up a campfire and watch the flames dance, meet the farm's friendly resident pigs and pet the ponies. Soak up the tranquil atmosphere from your spacious pitch, or relax and unwind with a little more luxury in one of two quirky glamping pods.

Surrounded by 40 acres of stunning farmland, in the heart of the Peak District

Working farm with friendly animals, including pigs and ponies

Nearby to Gulliver's kingdom, with fun for all the family

About Middlehills Farm

The farm has been in the Lomas family for more than 30 years and is a well established, peaceful and friendly site. The park is located just inside the south eastern corner of the Peak District, a few miles from Matlock and eight miles from Bakewell. The site has two large fields for camping and a separate one with a limited number of electric hook-ups (available to both tents and tourers). All are on gently sloping grass and you can pitch wherever you like. The children's play area is a big hit - and you can camp without electric right alongside it if you wish. Those seeking extra comfort will love the site glamping pods, with outdoor decking, a cosy double bed and bunk beds. You are welcome to have open fires, providing they are raised off the ground, and fire pits are available for hire if required. For the kids, friendly Gulliver's Kingdom offers plenty to explore. This is a working farm, with friendly onsite animals - the pigs are always hungry, and the ponies love to be pet! Dogs are welcome on a lead with campers at no charge.

Middlehills Farm is open from 03/05 to 22/09.

A note from the site themselves...

Middlehills Farm has been a campsite and in the family for over 30 years. It was originally run as a working farm, with holiday cottages, B and B and small campsite, sadly my father in law passed away and my husband and I took over the running of the farm. 16 years later and we no longer farm, but have created a family orientated campsite which many people return to too, due to the outstanding views, excellent play area and friendliness of the campsite, things which we are very proud of, we have worked incredibly hard to create such a great place which is also our home which we can hopefully pass down to our children in the future.

Large Tent - Non-Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Great campsite with very nice owners. Separate gents and ladies toilets and separate shower blocks. Shop on site with a great selection of foods, fire pits available to rent for £20. Nice and close to Bakewell and Matlock Bath.

One of the best campsites

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2022

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this excellent campsite. Toilets, showers and pot cleaning area are cleaned to a high standard everyday. The shop has essential items, there's a handy fridge/freezer in the pot cleaning area for campers and the owners Nick & Liz really went out of their way to ensure my stay was pleasant and comfortable and nothing was too much trouble for them. This was very much appreciated, thank you Nick & Liz. Would also like to thank Kevin & Carolyn who are very friendly and approachable. Great views are an added bonus. Would definitely stay again.

Great campsite

Large Tent - Non-Electric Grass PitchesJul 2022

We have been to stay here twice this month. The site has lots of room with 2 fields and you choose your own space. The facilities are great with plenty of toilets/ showers/ washing up area and drinking water taps. All kept very clean. There's also a play area for children and some farm animals too! I would highly recommend staying here and we will be back again soon.
