Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 My friend and I had a lovely stay at Barn Farm, just perfect. Gorgeous views, lovely little village with 2 nice pubs a short walk from the camp site, serving food.
Matlock, Ashbourne and Bakewell all a short drive away.
The campsite had a lot of bins dotted all around which were emptied regularly. Lots of toilets that are cleaned regularly and showers. Several washing up areas and even a space for drying clothes.
There is a lovely little shop on site which is handy if you forget anything or if you just want an ice cream. There is a games room and an outside play area for the kids. The peacocks and alpacas on the farm are a nice addition.
Plenty of field space, beautiful surroundings and friendly staff. Had a lovely weekend and hope to return soon.
Lovely stay in beautiful location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Lovely site with amazing views! We booked for one night previously and liked it so much we went back the following week!
Would recommend, lovely relaxing stay.
Loved seeing the peacocks and alpacas too!
We took our dog also and surrounding walks are great too!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location, we will definitely book again soon.
Campervan group weekend away
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2025 Absolutely wonderful. Mark and the team work wonders looking after the site.
A great time was had by all. We will be back again for the 5th time next year.
The view, the wildlife, the location, all bind together to make a great location.
We had a fabulous time
May 2025 We arrived on Friday evening! We loved looking at the free roaming peacocks walk around the park. It was really busy and staff were very polite and very accommodating.
The children enjoyed playing in the little outdoors area with badminton, basketball and ring toss. There was a very popular wood fire pizza van here Fri & Sat as it was a busy weekend. The next day we had issues with our electrics. The owner spent loads of time trying to help us and eventually we sorted out the problem with our trailer tent.
The children loved playing on their wooden play area and games room. The little shop was great for picking up the odd items you may have forgotten or needed. The bathrooms were always clean and well stocked up. Everyone was polite and we had a fabulous stay and can't wait to come here again!
Thank you ☺️
Great campsite for families
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) May 2025 Great place with great facilities!
Plentiful pot washing stations with lovely deep sinks, hot water, blue roll etc.
Plentiful toilets which never ran out of loo roll.
I only waited a few minutes for a shower room at peak time on a morning, and the shower room was great with a sink and mirror and hooks and a little bench to put stuff on.
Decent play area for kids and some kids toys set up.
A games room which we didn't use and communal fridge freezer etc.
I would definitely go back!
Excellent stay!
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) May 2025 Excellent stay with spotless facilities. A really well thought out campsite with thoughtful touches. Will stay again and would recommend for families.
Great facilities
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Facilities very good, giving your own space and privacy in well appointed showers.
Toilets well located and kept clean.
Fantastic place
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2025 Fantastic site, kids loved it. Facilities were great, only downside was that the showers were lukewarm at best. The place was spotless.
Would highly recommend.
Fantastic site
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) May 2025 Highly recommended site. Friendly staff, well maintained; clean facilities, plenty of space and things for the kids to do in a great location.
Super facilities and location
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Stayed for 3 nights over the May bank holiday weekend. We were particularly impressed with the facilities. There were several toilet blocks, pot wash areas and showers, all of which were clean, regularly maintained by staff and offered hot running water. There was also a well stocked shop with all essentials, and a pizza van making lovely pizzas on the Friday and Saturday night, as well as playground and games room for the kids.
The site was busy (expected on a nice bank holiday), with a lot of DofE groups (some tired looking teenagers plodding about in the evenings!) but all campers respected the expectations of quiet after 10pm, which was good for us with an early settling 4 year old.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had car trouble on the way, meaning we pitched up later than we intended, but they were very flexible and supportive of our issue. The location perfectly suited what we wanted, close to lovely towns and tourist attractions. The pubs in the nearby village were nice and we had a lovely meal at the Druid Inn one night.
Our pitch was slightly sloped, but not uncomfortably so, but there are plenty of flatter spots, we were just too late to get one. Be ready to see peacocks wandering around the fields, and hearing them making loud conversation from time to time at night.
Overall, the site was great, perfect for what we needed with a young child (couldn't get her off the playground!). We would definitely stay again if we were to come back to the area.
Fantastic for young families
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) May 2025 Great few days over BH weekend (5x families).
The only negative was the UK weather one day. Will visit again soon!
Thank you ☺️
Our stay
Roof Tent - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2025 This was our first stay and it was an amazing place, would 100% recommend.
Staff were brilliant.
We are already planning our next stay at Barn Farm.
Short stay
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2025 A really nice, well kept site set amongst some gorgeous countryside. A 5 minute walk to the local village pubs. Facilities are immaculate and the host was very welcoming and accommodating. Only had 2 nights stay and was sad to leave but will definitely book again for a longer stay.
Peaceful campsite within easy reach of Peak District
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches (Campervan Only) Apr 2025 A great campsite within easy reach of the Peak District - perfect for walking or cycling (we did both).
Two local pubs within a 10 minute walk. Spotless facilities and friendly and approachable staff. Would readily book again.
Great family stay!
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Apr 2025 Great site which is clean and well maintained. The facilities are great for all ages with a lovely shop, outdoor games, indoor games room, playing area and great cleaning & washing facilities.
We've had a lovely stay and the wildlife is great (we named the site Peacocks Pablo and Pedro 😂)
Great site
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2025 1st time at this site and it was brilliant.
Location to start with is great. We stayed on site and just ventured on the moors and then to the two pubs for lunch. Staff on site super friendly and very helpful. Facilities are good and clean.
100% coming back again.
Birchover
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Apr 2025 Lovely little place, although just check which fields are open. However though, it was great.
A corner of the peaks - great Barn Farm!
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches (Campervan Only) Apr 2025 Clean, spacious. Hardstanding pitches need chocks. Great size pitches. Great separate adult showers. Check in closes at 5pm.
Perfect for visiting Matlock, Bakewell. Small family touches of games and park are thoughtful. Just a narrow village to drive through so if towing, be aware. Will return!
Loved it
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2025 Loved it! Great site, location was good! Clean! Love the peacocks on site!
Excellent facilities and wonderful spot
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Apr 2025 It's amazing for the location, for peace and quiet, or for hiking.
Facilities are very clean and the shop was very useful. The welcome was amazing and very warm.
Thank you. See you again.
Beautiful
Twin Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2025 We spent three days here. We had an electric hook up for our touring caravan, water taps were right next door to us. Nice, big, spacious bays.
Good showers, nothing to complain about, can only compliment this place! it is kept lovely, the grass was beautifully mowed with all the stripes!
Friendly welcome
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches (Campervan Only) Apr 2025 Felt very welcomed on arrival. Facilities were good and clean. Plenty on site for children and interesting local walks to Robin Hood's Stride and Nine Ladies Stone Circle.
Two good pubs in walking distance. Beautiful views and lovely location. We will be coming back.
Quiet & well kept
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2025 Quiet and peaceful site, clean toilets and shower block, bit of a walk but we didn't mind. Really well kept site.
Lovely, relaxed, well kept campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2025 Lovely, well kept campsite in heart of Peak District.
Staff were very friendly, appreciated comparative early check in time from 12:00. Amenities very clean. Lots walks and things to do locally. 5 minute walk to village pubs.
Great for families, with games, woods, peacocks, alpacas. Will be returning.
Lovely site and location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Apr 2025 Everything about Barn Farm was outstanding, from checking in to departure time, the stay and facilities was 2nd to none. I was on camping field one which is a sloping field, but possible to find level pitches at the bottom end or a couple at the top.
The peacocks as beautiful as they are wandering the site but they don't understand the concept of bedtime, lol. A 5 minute stroll from the site fetches you to 2 pubs, The Red Lion & The Druid Inn.
Behind The Druid Inn is Rawton Rocks, open to the public but be aware that it can be very dangerous as there's no safety fences and sheers drops. My recommendation is if you have kids, don't go up there.
