Small Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2022 More than you could expect for a reasonably priced campsite, perfect!
Great time camping
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2022 We had a great time, this was our first camping trip and couldn't believe we had never done this before. There are plenty of shower blocks, toilets and washing up areas, which were all very clean. It has a handy shop onsite, which sells all kind of useful things. We enjoyed the pizza and a drink at the bar that is there certain times of the year. The only dislike I have is the field was very hilly which made sleeping arrangements a little more uneasy and tables hard to sit at on a slope. Other than that it was great, and we will definitely be returning!
2 night stay
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2022 Never disappointed when we stay at Barn Farm. Excellent location for walks but also a short drive to Bakewell for any extra supplies that you cannot get at the campsite shop. Love the extra facilities of the pizza van, bar etc. Fields in great condition considering the recent dry weather.
Just an idea, but with the ever increasing demand of smartphones/Apple watches, would it pay to have lockable charging stations for a small fee? We for one would pay as we use Strava and the OS app so it's essential we have full charge. Power banks are great but after one full charge they are spent.
Short break Small Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2022 Absolutely lovely weekend away! The overflow field (field 2) was fantastic! We had the shade in the evening and a wonderful view!
The pizza van and pancake van were a very welcomed surprise for both our children! Smooth check in process too.
Definitely recommend the Druid's Inn for a drink and a walk up the pathways behind into the caves and you will find a perfect, idyllic spot to watch the sunset! I am sure we as a family will be back in the future.
Fantastic site
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2022 Fantastic campsite. All the facilities you could want. The addition of a pizza truck, bar, coffee van was fantastic.
Site is extremely well kept.
Lovely site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2022 Fantastic stay. Great location. Clean & friendly staff. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.
Beautiful place
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2022 Perfect location, very clean and lovely staff. First time we have been camping as a family and we absolutely loved it. Perfect location between Matlock and Bakewell and many other lovely places to visit.
Massive bonus was that we had a cocktail bar and wood fired pizza van there on the weekend, so that was wonderful. Lovely, clean site and the staff were all massively helpful and very friendly. The camp shop - I was very surprised by the low prices - I expected to get ripped off, but completely the opposite.
Will 100% be going back here very soon.
Fabulous as always

Lovely campsite for all
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2022 Lovely campsite with great amenities. Realised we had brought the wrong camping gas for our Trangia on the first morning but had options of waffles, pancakes, cooked breakfast baps and fresh coffee from food vans on site.
Great atmosphere and generally friendly and helpful staff on site, although the peacocks could get a little loud!
Perfect for young family

Perfection in the Peaks!
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2022 What a wonderful site! We enjoyed every moment of our stay, playing in the fields, enjoying freshly baked pizza by the play area, as well as local walks and star-gazing at night.
The service is first-rate and unobtrusive, and the facilities are kept in excellent condition. Thanks for making our time so enjoyable!
Fabulous campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2022 We have stayed here several times before, mainly in the large field, once in the small field (past reception and the shower blocks etc), and this time in the first field on the left. In my opinion this is the worst field as it is on quite an incline unless you are one of the lucky ones who gets there first, and unfortunately for us, as a couple in their 50s, we managed to pitch up on the side where the kids play area is.
We don't mind the sound of kids playing but their parents shouting to them was a bit wearing.
The amenities at Barn Farm are excellent. There is a toilet block near the field we were in, further toilet block and showers, adult only shower rooms which are lovely, and also a games room, shop, and plenty of areas for pot washing. Everything is very well kept and clean.
There are 2 lovely pubs within walking distance and also plenty of walks nearby. This time we walked to Rowsley then on to Bakewell (approx 9 miles). We are hoping to stay again very soon.
Great site, we will return
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 A fab site. Would have extended our stay if we had packed enough stuff for our onward journey and didn't need to return home soon.
A great site - we will be back soon!

Best camping week ever
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2022 The campsite was truly amazing - very family friendly. Staff always there to help when needed. Very clean. Kids enjoyed seeing the peacocks and alpacas.
Can't wait to visit again.
Great site
Trailer Tent - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Aug 2022 Great facilities, always clean, showers always warm. Great location, plenty of amazing walks without having to drive anywhere, but close enough to Bakewell etc for trips out.
Pubs in walking distance are good, there are games a plenty to keep children, teenagers and adults happy. Definitely recommend, definitely returning.
Great campsite
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2022 Great location and excellent site.
Great site, plenty to do! Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2022 Fantastic well established site, where every little detail has been covered! Proper washrooms and toilets that are cleaned regularly.
Plenty to do for kids and had a food van, pizzas and a little bar over the weekend. So if you don't like cooking, you don't have to. Lots of nearby walks, a games room and outdoor toys for the kids. An on-site shop, which is very reasonably priced. Or if you fancy a short walk to the pub, there are 2 down the road. It can get busy, but there is lots of room. We are regular visitors to this site over many years and it's one we recommend for local camping!
