Hill Farm Caravan and Camping Site Reviews

Fun break away

We have never done glamping before, we have stayed in our own tent previously. I would highly recommend anyone considering it. We took everything we would normally take camping but really enjoyed all the extras. Facilities were excellent and site is in easy reach of lots of things to do to keep you occupied.

Did not expect a site like this for price!

Very good value for your money- plenty of room, grass cut short, nice clean toilets and helpful staff. Good pubs nearby. A good, well-run site.

BEST PLACE & BEST STAY

I almost don't want to give a good review as I would like to keep this place to myself. The site is lovely and so are the family that run it (including the two Chihuahuas). The site is very well kept and so is the toilet and shower block. It's very peaceful and completely surrounded by beautiful green countryside. There are lovely walks in every direction and a canal literally 3 minutes walk down the road. I am most certainly going to make this place my second home. I only booked 4 nights but ended up staying for 6 nights. I can't speak highly enough of this place.

Perfect

Fabulous one night stay mid-week. Great facilities, lots of showers and toilets. Quiet location and a lovely encounter with the stewardess for a quick and efficient check in.

Clean facilities, friendly, helpful staff

We liked this site a lot. The only problem is the hump backed bridge on the approach on which the rear of our caravan hit the road, so I wouldn't recommend for larger vehicles or caravans.

Good

The shower got colder on our last day but overall it was a nice place.

Great friendly owners

Good fun at this very well kept site.

Good services

The staffs are friendly and helpful. The facility is clean. We will go back again.

Had the best time, would definitely recommend

So clean and the service was great, we will definitely be coming back!

Amazing!

It was amazing! The staff were so friendly and made us feel really at home, the pod was really well equipped and cosy, and the hot tub was easy to use.

We had such a good time, we booked an extra night

We had such a good time, we even booked an extra night! The campsite is in a beautiful quiet spot. The pod we stayed in was very clean, we had a large decking area and a woodfired hot tub. What a treat to lie in a hot tub and look up at the stars. The shower block was clean and the showers were lovely and hot. There were extra toilets and showers provided behind the block. The most amazing part was the managers of the campsite. Such a lovely family, nothing was too much trouble. They even took us to the train station when we couldn't get a taxi that wasn't extortionate. We had such a lovely chilled time. Will definitely return in the summer.

Signage goes a long way!

Arrived at this site on Friday evening after work for a weekend away. The road to the site is a dead end so you would expect clear signage to tell you where the entrance to the site is. It's not even labelled Hill Farm. We ended up driving straight past and then had to reverse a caravan in the pitch black along a narrow road. Eventually got into the site and again, no sign of where to go and no sign of life - it was 6.30pm and dark. Eventually, a young girl came out and said you want to go down there to pitch 10. We drove down in the dark and looked for numbers which, of course, there wasn't anything clearly marked. Walked round the field in the dark with a torch to see where we needed to be and eventually took pot luck at a space. We didn't see the owners again and weren't given any information about the site itself. The site was ok - nothing great but it was fine for 2 nights. I wouldn't stay again due to the location.

Site's response

Many thanks for your review, we value and appreciate your feedback. We are so sorry your stay with us did not meet your expectations. First impressions are important. We have reviewed your comments and will be installing clearer signage in the next few days. We will also ensure that future guests are suitably shown to their pitches, as on this occasion we clearly failed. This, together with improved signage, should prevent these kinds of issues. Once again, many thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve our site for future visitors.

Great apart from Storm Eunice

Couldn't have picked a worse weekend with the storms but still thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very clean facilities and the owners were brilliant, they couldn't help us enough! Will definitely stay again but more towards the summer this time, haha!

Stopover

Great stay, friendly staff, nice toilets/showers. Site could do with improving the lighting around the site & pathways as they were quite muddy!

Great location for many short walks, very friendly

Very peaceful, friendly site. Ideal location for sort and long walks. Great local pubs, had Sunday lunch at the garden centre which was fabulous - would recommend.

New Year 2021

Clean, tidy and very polite proprietors. Will definitely stay again!

Lovely welcome.

Very nice site and pleasant surroundings. Amazing stay, will definitely return. Excellent value for money, clean facilities, excellent for children.

Partner's 40th

It was awesome and they let us take our Harris hawk.

Excellent location and site

Excellent site all round! Perfect location for exploring with Ashbourne and The Tissington Trail very close by. Spacious site, great views, friendly staff.

Hill Farm

Fine as a stopover site, or for visiting relatives in Derby/Nottingham. Quiet. Did all we needed.

Reasonable prices but not quiet

Reasonable prices for tent camping. Our pitch was level, very generous and not far from amenities. Waterpoint was not far away. There was a washup area to the front of the shower/toilet block. There are 2 toilets and 2 large showers. Outside there are additional shower shacks. We also noticed disabled facilities near the male shower/toilet block. The only reason this campsite was given 4 🌟 is because of the noise levels from planes, trains and cars. It seems like the campsite is in the flight path of EMA, so we had noise from planes. I'm sure we heard trains too. Also with the A50 being close by, we heard that. Because of this I was unable to have a restful night's sleep. We quite like the mixture of options available depending on preference. There are also bell tents and glamping pods. We haven't decided if we will be back due to the noise which is no fault of the owners. But I'm hoping some earplugs would reduce the noise.

Great getaway

It was a blissfully pleasant getaway from the city, with plenty of amenities nearby. It was a great experience and I would recommend it.

Happy Days

Great site, from the moment we arrived we were made very welcome by everyone, even the neighbouring farmer was friendly and offered us plenty of fruit from their orchard. Site was clean and good facilities on offer, rare for some sites is good hot water in the pot washing area so well done for this. Did not use the showers as we were on a fully serviced pitch but the toilet facilities were spotless. Noticed many yurts and tents for clampers, these were in use while we were there and obviously popular with younger generation. Thanks to all for making our stay special. Good walks along the canal and out into the country.

A bit further from pub or restaurants but still good

Enjoyable stay, staff friendly & helpful, you need to be prepared for a good walk to the nearest pub as they are not as close by as we expected from the advertising - still good though!

What a lovely site

First time camping in many many years, proper newbies but it was fabulous... Great site, lovely friendly staff for whom nothing was too much trouble, clean showers and toilets and a visit from the ice cream van to boot! Even at 53 I was very excited haha - will be booking in 2022!
