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.

Twin Axle Caravan - Large Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

The site is excellent with good, spotlessly clean, facilities. My only slight criticism is the early morning (4.30am) noise from the large wagons passing along the A5270 which runs adjacent to the site, although this is beyond the control of the site owners.

Thank you!

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

I stopped over at Farditch for one night before walking in the Peak District. It was perfectly placed for a short journey the following morning. The views from the site are beautiful, it's a peaceful place to relax and take in the scenery. The facilities were brilliant, spotlessly clean. This was my first visit to the Peak District, I'm definitely visiting again and will look to stay at Farditch again. Thank you!

Motorhome - Large Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

Stayed for 3 nights in this lovely location. We had pitch 1 which was a little close to the path for people heading to use the sites facilities, because of this, privacy was a slight issue. Sitting outside, we were swarmed by wasps from the plants, nothing really could be done but it was an issue. Location is close to a very busy main road which was loud, again nothing that can be done about this. Site is beautiful, facilities are amazing and everywhere is clean and tidy. Didn't see the owners but email advised we may not and this was not an issue for us. Walked to the local pub, this was about 20-25 minute walk. Food amazing, very friendly staff and locals. Will absolutely return, highly recommend.
