About the site

Set in the Peak District National Park, this family run site is ideal for those seeking a countryside escape. Next to a farm, there is a great taste of rural life, with the Pennine Bridleway right next door for exploring the area. Bakewell is within 20 minutes, or you can simply enjoy the fresh country air from your pitch. The site offers 50 spacious non electric pitches, suitable for tents, roof tents, trailer tents and campervans, each measuring 10m x 10m. You are welcome to pitch where you like on arrival, and pitches also enjoy scenic views, with sheep and donkeys as your neighbours! It's also a perfect base for exploring the rest of the Peak District's towns and villages, or strolling along the River Wye and, of course, trying a Bakewell tart! Buxton is also 15 minutes by car and is full of Victorian and Georgian architecture and pretty gardens. Please note, due to the current dry weather, fire pits are not permitted. BBQs are still allowed. Up to two four-legged friends are welcome to join you for your stay.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2026

Myself, my partner, and a friend stayed for two nights. Sweet Knoll was easy going and simple with all the facilities we needed, and more. Great toilets close by, along with showers, a fridge and a freezer. Only three miles (ish) from Castleton its a good walk into town. It is also just up the road from Peak Forest where the local pub does good ale and great food. Great stay. Exactly what we wanted.

Lovely scenery but too many people for the facilities

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2026

Booked the site but did not receive any info on how to check in and checked the listing, but it didn't say anything. When we arrived we looked around for someone, saw a lady with a clipboard and she said to park anywhere. No other info given or conversation had. No probs, parked up. The facilities are all unisex and there is not enough. 3 fields full of tents and only two showers. I had to queue for the toilet and showers. The views are great but due to the facilities, we wouldn't return.
