Barn Farm is a lovely clean site in a great location. It is not too large and it felt quite private. I camped with two dogs and they were made welcome. There are lots of trails very nearby both long and short which was ideal as we could walk to them. There were a couple of pubs very nearby too. The site was very well kept, clean and had good facilities. I'll definitely be returning in the future.
Lovely site, clean and quiet.

Lovely site, quiet and clean. Good to see they still cater for Duke of Edinburgh students, although I guess it wont be so quiet when they are on site! It was a short walk to the pubs, and there were lots of walking routes from the campsite.

Nice site and area with 2 pubs close by and only short distance to towns, some good walks nearby. There was a charity event on in one of their fields which they didn't say would be starting at 6:30am on the Saturday morning which was a bit loud, but only lasted the one day and was not on their events website. Otherwise, a good little site which I will be using again.
Beaut stay!

The lady that we met was extremely accommodating, as we were unaware of what we needed to book with a tent box, and she talked us through it and moved us fields with no hassle. Location was perfect with beautiful views. We had an early wake up call Saturday morning with the breast cancer awareness walk (Coppafeel) taking off from that campsite and we were unaware. Nothing too major though and will definitely book to stay there again!
Beautiful campsite, excellent location

This is probably the most well-kept campsite I have been to - incredibly clean and the pitches and fields are immaculate (without feeling clinical). The views are incredible, staff friendly and helpful, and the location is fantastic. Some beautiful walks nearby and a good pub! Would highly recommend.
Noisy event ruined our weekend

The reason I've given a poor score is there was a event on, and at 6am they were playing music full blast. This was not advertised and I wouldn't have booked had we have known.
Busy site but well equipped to manage

Beautiful views. Busy site when we stayed due to an event but the facilities were sufficient to cope. Lots of showers available and well stocked on all the other facilities. Great location for walks and access to the Peak District with Bakewell a few miles north. Will definitely return.
Great stay

This site is in a lovely location at the top of Birchover village. It's a huge site with vast fields for events and also a large camping field. There are 2 areas of hardstanding pitches, one quite large, which we opted not to go on as the pitches were all very sloping. The other area is just next door, with just four pitches and facing the camping field. We found the pitch quite level and the facilities were only seconds away. When we were there, the site was hosting a charity event on the main field which meant there was a lot of activity as marquees and a stage were put up, but it was interesting to watch. The 'mega marathon' the entrants were taking part in kicked off at 6am on the Saturday morning, so we were woken by the loudspeakers as the groups were given their countdown before the off! There are plenty of showers and toilets located around a courtyard near to the reception. All facilities were clean, even with the hundreds of extra guests they had to accommodate. In the village there are two pubs, only a few minutes walk away. We tried both but much preferred the Druid Inn at the edge of the village. Would fully recommend their Sunday lunch, absolutely delicious, with loads of thick juicy roast beef, freshly cooked veg and lots of it. There is the 172 bus service which was very reliable to take you into Bakewell or Matlock, our journey to Bakewell took the 'scenic' route so we got to see so many quaint, tiny villages! If you walk to the top of the camping field, you come out on the bend of the road that goes out of the village. From here, you will find the footpath that takes you to the Cork Stone and the Nine Ladies stone circle - fabulous walk! From our pitch, we had views across the dales and as we were blessed with sunny weather, each morning we woke to beautiful sunrises. This site is fabulous, very well maintained with a rustic charm - would definitely recommend.

Stunning location for walking. Great pub 5 minutes walk, Druid Inn. As it was end of season it was very quiet and shop and reception not manned. Pitch was roomy, electric hook up. Alpacas and lovely Jacob sheep, peacocks and cows! Would to come back in the spring.
Brilliant!

We've just had 3 nights in the wettest, windiest weather, but had a great stay at Barn Farm. They've thought of everything, lovely facilities and in an ideal spot for Rowtor Rocks and other walks from the campsite. Thanks so much Barn Farm team!
Loved it - stayed 3 nights, 2 people and a dog!

Amazing scenery, beautiful walks, quiet nights. Friendly staff, very helpful and always around when you need them and the on site shop has everything you need for camping. Cleanliness of toilets and shower rooms was spotless every time. We didn't use the games room but for kids, that looked so much fun! Totally recommend to every camping family. We will definitely be going back! And the peacocks there were friendly and beautiful! We enjoyed our stay and our dog enjoyed himself too! Thank you Barn Farm x
Friendly and peaceful

Very clean toilets and showers. Not many level pitches so take ramps and some pieces of wood to level up. Nice site shop which had enough food and camping items. There's 2 pubs in the village which are very good and do food.
Nice walks nearby

Buses to Matlock 9 miles away, very big 2 hour gaps. Ours didn't turn up to bring us back, and it's the only service. We had to wait 2 hours for next one with no information! Shop on site felt was very understocked, as especially as there's no shop in village. It could stock food essentials. Toilets and Showers very clean. Nice surroundings and views, alpacas and peacocks were nice to see. Red Lion one of 2 pubs there, closes Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. Little else to do, so as you would have to travel out, don't rely on the bus.
Good

Overall, a good quality stay, but I do have a mixed opinion on this campsite. The site itself is very picturesque and the toilets and showers are clean, no issues with sanitation here. However, the shop was closed the whole time, despite its opening times stating otherwise. I do understand that it was the end of summer (September 2nd) but never stated that its operation was dependent on business, unlike the bar and food trucks which had been stated to not be open if it wasn't peak season. To add, the camping field was on a slope so challenging to sleep at times. Despite this, we did enjoy our stay very much and the local area including walks was good.
Great stay

This is a lovely site with great facilities, tucked away in a quiet part of the Peak District. Very friendly staff and a super location for walking, visits to Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and many other well known sites in the wonderful Peaks.
