Clear filters Excellent site
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2025 Love this site, ideal for us as a slightly mature couple, but also perfect for friends and families. Peaceful site but also great to see families enjoying their times.
Excellent facilities and spotlessly clean. Well stocked shop, and good games room, play area and plenty of room for kids.
Just a lovely friendly atmosphere and site. Village pubs within an easy walk from site for drinks and food.
Wonderful stay
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2025 Thank you so much for a lovely stay!
Fantastic site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 My daughter and I absolutely loved our stay at Barn Farm. The facilities were amazing and spotlessly clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The camping fields are on a slope but we managed.
The location is great, with lovely walks from the site and two pubs in the beautiful village doing good food. We'll definitely be going back :)
Great campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 This is a great campsite. The facilities are excellent and very clean. Little extras included, such as fridge and freezer, socket to blow airbeds up, that make camping much easier. Staff friendly and helpful. Thank you.
Excellent as always
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 They are always accommodating and happy to help. Site was quiet due to the weather. Could do with other things in the shop, but maybe that's in full season. Can't fault it, been going on and off for 15 years always the same level of service.
Brilliant facilities. Clean and safe.
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) May 2025 We have stayed at Barn Farm several times now. The facilities are always clean and well looked after. There are lots of high quality food and drink vans. Excellent bands at night. Lovely walks, great pubs close by. We always have a great time. The teens feel safe and enjoy the arcade and pizza vans. Great for all ages.
A lovely site, but little busy on the bank holiday weekend
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) May 2025 We stayed for the May bank holiday weekend and it's a lovely campsite. There was food vans on site which was a lovely surprise - we had a pizza one night and I grabbed a cup of tea early on our last morning too, which was nicer than waiting for the kettle to boil. The facilities were good and kept clean. There was some entertainment whilst we were there - a play bus, inflatable slides, face painting and more - our children enjoyed all of these.
It was a little too busy for our liking but we did book for a bank holiday weekend so it's to be expected. It was a bit of a trek from our tent to the toilets, especially for our young children, but I imagine that on a regular week/weekend if is less busy and you could pitch a bit closer to the toilets. The toilets and showers were really busy with Duke of Edinburgh students at times, again they were not any trouble but it was hard for my children to get to the sinks to wash their hands after using the overall.
Beautiful site
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) May 2025 The site was brilliant. The facilities were great and had lots for the kids. We enjoyed seeing (and hearing) the peacocks and visited the alpacas too. It was a perfect spot to explore Matlock and the surrounding area.
I'd say if you don't like live music at night at the weekends (not sure if it's every weekend or at particular times of the year) then, perhaps not for you, but everything was done and dusted by 10:30pm. We loved it.

Great bank holiday family fun
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) May 2025 A great bank holiday stay, really enjoyed the family fun-day activities. Even though the site was fully booked, never felt too busy and facilities were always clean.
Bank holiday with our family
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Year 17 at Barn Farm, thank you all so much! We also really enjoyed the band River on Saturday night. See you next year!
Fun camping weekend

Bank holiday weekend
Twin Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2025 Had a fantastic stay May Bank Holiday weekend, local band on Saturday and Sunday night, and bouncy castles all weekend. Really enjoyed the weekend
Beautiful setting
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Really enjoyed the weekend. Good for kids to run and let off steam, while parents can watch from a distance. Plenty of good walks in the area.
Excellent stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Excellent stay at Barn Farm. The toilets always had loo roll, bins around the camp were regularly emptied and never had to queue to wash up. Loved the bank holiday entertainment in the evening. I would say one of the best sites we have stayed at, we shall come back, thank you very much.
Very good visit to Barn Farm
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) May 2025 We had a really good stay at Barn Farm over May half-term.
We received a very friendly greeting at reception. The toilet facilities were excellent, even with the Duke of Edinburgh groups stopping over. The shop was well stocked. You can leave food in the fridges and freezers in the games room. You can buy food at the pizza van and other pop-up shops and drinks at the mobile pub - The Horse & Jockey. The prices were certainly reasonable.
On two nights of our stay there was music in the barn until 10:30pm. The views from our tent were fantastic - the only slight issue here however is that you are sleeping on a bit of a slope. There is a great circular walk to The Nine Ladies Stone Circle undertaken by following a foothpath which is immediately adjacent to the campsite. We stopped for a drink at the Druid's Inn in Birchover (5 minutes from the site) on the way back, and that was very pleasant.
There were a couple of peacocks roaming around freely and alpacas in a field at the campsite's entrance.
Barn Farm appears to organise lots of events and things to do such as bouncy castles, zorbing (£5 for 10 minutes) etc. All in all - so long as you can deal with the slope (and it wasn't too bad) - it was an excellent campsite and we had a really good time.
Great site
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) May 2025 Great campsite and the live bands make for an enjoyable evening. The showers and toilets were always clean.
Great site! Will definitely return
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 First stay here and will not be the last.
The staff are friendly and welcoming. The facilities are fantastic, the fields are big and well kept. The showers are lovely and warm with cleanliness you see on very few sites.
Lovely, peaceful spot with plenty of walking direct from the site but not too far a drive to many more! Loved it!
Lovely stay
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Nice informed welcome. Everywhere was clean and tidy.
Lots of facilities and two lovely dog friendly pubs within a few minutes walk.
Weekend away
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Just spent two nights here, had a wonderful time.
Will definitely be returning 👍
Couldn’t fault the place
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Perfect location.
Good value for money, staff where very friendly and helpful.
Showers were great with plenty of hot water and the toilet facilities were always clean.
Really couldn't fault the place at all.
Amazing place
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) May 2025 Brilliant campsite. It's on my list of campsites to return to and hopefully often.
It's in a great location and reasonable driving distance to many of the fantastic villages and many walking routes out of the campsite is a bonus. It's great for the kids. There is a play area and games room.
The games room requires silver to play the games on offer and their is a large field, with enough distance from the other fields, that is dedicated to DofE groups. There were many of them, but it didn't dampen the atmosphere or the quiet campsite.
I'll be returning to Barn Farm soon!
