About Bank House Farm
Lying on the Manifold River and the grounds of a Victorian farmhouse, Bank House Farm is the ideal base for your break in the Peak District! It's located in a pretty hamlet of Hulme End, just 20 minutes from bustling Ashbourne and the spa town of Buxton. Spread across 15 acres, the site is home to spacious riverside and non-riverside pitches for campers and tourers. Choose from grass and hardstanding pitches with the option of 16 amp electric hook-ups as well as large fully serviced pitches (water and grey waste facilities) too. The Meadow Field is just over a toll bridge for relaxed and freestyle camping, with all facilities around a five-minute walk away. Alternatively, the Top Field is on the same side as the facilities, with electric and non-electric grass pitches. A maximum of two dogs are welcome per pitch, and the site has a great five-acre dog walking field where you can take them for a stroll. Raised fire pits and BBQs are also welcome. The site has previously won the Platinum Loo of the Year award multiple times, for its modern facilities with underfloor heating.
Grass pitches are available from May until the end of September, hardstanding pitches are available from March until the beginning of November.
Site facilities include a modern ladies' and gents' block along with a family/disabled, underfloor heating, hairdryers and shaver points. There is also a covered pot washing area and access to fridges and freezers. There is electric vehicle charging available too.
You can purchase Calor Gas and Camping Gaz on site along with logs and kindling, a small shop and fishing can be enjoyed by arrangement. A pizza van visits the site on Fridays, and a chip van on a Saturday evening in the season. The site also has an information point and bike storage.
The Manifold Inn is right next door, serving food and a camper's breakfast. There are also shops, fish and chips and pubs in Hartington. A wider range of shops are just 20 minutes away in the car. A bus stops right outside the site and goes to Ashbourne, Buxton and Bakewell.

Beautiful site, helpful staff. Very clean and tidy, and quiet site. Only negative is how far you have to go for chemical toilet disposal - A lot of steps, so not ideal
Site's response
Hi Sarah, thanks for your lovely review. The chemical waste is located near the facilities as this is the only suitable place .We can't have it at the bottom of the site as we have the River Manifold running through the site. We are in the Peak Park, so we're not flat, it's only a few steps (5). Regards, Wayne and Team.

This is a fantastic site to stay on. Pitch sizes are a little bit tight, but would not prevent us from recommending or returning.

The Tissington Trail (20 minutes) is a must-do for anyone on two wheels, or you can head to Carsington Water (30 minutes) for a splashing good time and Alton Towers (20 minutes) for a scream.
