Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2022 We had a great 3 night stay. Views are amazing and the walks are so close. The site was extremely friendly and with 4 children, we found it really safe.
The only downside was the large group around us allowing their dog to roam free, meaning we had dog mess by our tents which we had to clean. This didn't ruin the weekend though and the 15 of us had a fab time.
The local pubs are both very friendly and the carvery at the Red Lion is beautiful.
Lovely well maintained campsite with good facilities
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2022 We thought Barn Farm was a lovely site - we chose it as we were able to book as a group of families with young children.
The playground field was perfect for us - the children could play and it was safe as there weren't cars driving through all the time. The children enjoyed the resident peacocks and the games room too. There were other groups on the field, but it was a little crowded and it was quiet at night (apart from the peacocks in the morning!). We would definitely return to this site again.
Brilliant
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2022 Fantastic. Very clean. Great site with two fab pubs in the village. Play areas and indoor games room. Good showers, although I think the water temperature needs turning down, it's way too hot in the ones opposite the reception.
Barn Farm was very relaxing
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 Had a very relaxing stay and lots to do for children - games room and outdoor stuff. It was brilliant and a great shop
Two nights in August
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2022 Second time we have stayed. Great site for kids. Had a issue with dogs off leads running around the field, which the kids didn't appreciate.
Showers and toilets are clean. Will be back next year definitely. Thanks.
A beautiful location
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 A beautiful location with walks in every direction. Site is lovely, clean and welcoming.
Fantastic facilities
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 Fantastic facilities and a great walking area.
Will be back
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2022 A fab site. Got lots to do around it, but the site itself is really welcoming, friendly and got a great atmosphere around it. Little touches like garden games, the indoor games room, pop up bar, coffee shop, butty van, pizza truck- it felt like the staff had really thought through how they can help their guests have a fab time. We will be back!
Fantastic
Small Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2022 This campsite was very well kept and equipped. We had children with us and pitched next to the playground. The field wasn't overcrowded despite it being mid August. There was some welcome shade from the trees. The facilities were excellent - everything you could need including fridge, freezer, and outdoor games for kids. There was a shop, bar, cafe, and wood fired pizzas open at the weekend. There are many beautiful walks from the campsite. We will definitely be returning.
Excellent campsite
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2022 Excellent campsite, less than an hour from our home and easily accessible.
Ideal
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

Lovely site

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.

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!
