Had a wonderful time there with my grandkids. They loved being able to explore the woods, befriend the peacocks and see the alpacas and nearby emus!

Great few nights at Barn Farm as always! Amenities were spotless and even though short staffed, the shop could be opened and staff attentive. Despite the storm, we had a great few days. Peacocks came to visit us and shared a (little) snack from our hands, and they kept us entertained. Great play area for the kids, in view of our tent so we felt safe to let them be free in their wellies making new friends. Thankyou for a great stay 🫶🏼

Highly recommend, well maintained

Barn Farm Campsite – Highly Recommended We had a fantastic stay at Barn Farm Campsite and would highly recommend it, especially for families. The grounds are very well maintained, the facilities were clean and easy to use, and the location was excellent with lots of lovely walks right on the doorstep. This was our first time camping as a family, and we couldn’t have picked a better place. The whole family really enjoyed the experience and we’d definitely come back again!

This was our fourth year at Barn Farm - we keep coming back because it’s perfect for our group of three friends and their families. Kids (under 9s) all have a brilliant time every summer, playing in the playground and in the family field. Showers and washing up facilities are top notch, plus an on-site shop to pick up anything ever forgotten. The breakfast butty van wasn’t open the weekend we stayed this year, which was much missed, but 5/5 all the same.

A brilliant campsite for friends and family gatherings

Love this site. The people who work there are really helpful, the facilities are great and it’s a great place for us to camp as a group. It’s quiet at night and a great location.

Excellent campsite

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

We spent a lovely weekend at Barn Farm with our friends and daughter. Excellent facilities, lovely location and very helpful staff. Had a difficult night one due to an Owner's Club group being particularly noisy next to our pitch, but the campsite owners sorted this out immediately for us the next day and they were much more respectful of the quiet time curfew.

Great location lovely set up very clean and friendly

2nd time of visiting Barn Farm and had just as much fun this time as the previous visit. Stunning location, good walks, great area for kids and adults to play about in and good facilities. Decent food stall for breakfast as well as a Pizza set up on Friday nights...maybe other nights too? Brilliant all round

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

Showers and toilets need updating. Shower in disabled toilet not working properly and tiles about to fall off wall. Went to shower at 9.00pm and lukewarm. Says there was food on Sat, but there wasn't. Shop wasn't open as indicated on door. Single men camping in family field making a noise at night and inappropiate language when kids going to bed. However, it is a lovely safe space to camp with kids and good value.

Couldn't fault it

Good check in experience and option to change field if we wanted to. Nice to have adult only showers, hair dryers provided with thanks, other shower facilities were good too. Shop on site. Good food truck but a little expensive. Paper towels in the toilets could be softer and more absorbent. Swings need some WD40! Probably needed more bins as filled up quickly. Some nice walks from the campsite through the heathland. Nice pubs down the road. Bus that went through the village.

Great location for walks in the countryside

We stayed on a hardstanding pitch with several other camper vans. There were literally a hundred tents which were informally pitched and looked great fun if you were camping with larger groups

Great family friendly site

The family field was great for our two nights stay - the kids had fun playing together, with adults joining in too. Good facilities and never any queues for toilets or showers. Nice pubs within walking distance and a pop up pizza oven on the Friday night meant we didn't need to pack our BBQ.

Amazing campsite!

Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2)Aug 2026

We booked 3 pitches on overflow field two and stayed at the bottom end as we thought it would be a little quieter as it was further away from the facilities. All the pitches looked nice, but if you want a quiet stay, this isn't the place to go in the summer months. It was nice to see security on site, bins dotted around the site with regular collections, there was only once when we went to use the toilet sinks where it was busy, but didn't have to wait long. The showers behind were a good size and they also had two more shower blocks, one which was adults only. There was a small games room with pool table, air hockey and a few toy dispensers, fridges and freezers. A breakfast van on the Saturday and Sunday morning and a pizza van on the Friday night. Due to the wildfire alerts, BBQ's were not allowed but normally are. The alpacas were adorable, we named then Allan, Meredith and Sheila, and it was lovely to see the peacocks roaming around the site. The play area is in field 4, which was a bit manic with kids and families, the field to the left was calmer but on a bit of a slant. Overall, we had a lovely time and it was a lovely site, however we are used to a smaller and quieter campsite, so this was a bit different. Would recommend to those who are a little louder than our lot or if going with a group of friends.

Good place to stay

Great location, we loved being able to pretty much walk straight onto the moor. Easy access to peak district. Facilities were cleaned regularly but could definitely use an upgrade. We'd stay here again.
