Yew Tree Farm Reviews

Great little spot with good amenities

Shower, multiple toilets, lots of space, great edge-of-Peak-District location.

Amazing as always!

This is our third time coming back to camp here as a group of friends. We love how the site is kept, it's always clean and tidy, and that we can safely have a campfire, with the option for wood to be provided at the site too.

Lovely place

Lovely place with great scenery. Owners were very nice and clean toilets and facilities.

Friendly camp site in a great location

We enjoyed a 3 night stay here (Thursday to Sunday during the school summer holidays). Upon arrival, there was no one to greet us (not an issue at all!) but there was a handy notice board with all the info we needed. They have a laid back 'find yourself a pitch' approach, which worked for us. Some pitches were mowed out of the longer grass, others just found a spot on the larger field. We found a nice spot at the far end of the field (which was less busy) and set ourselves up, using the wheelbarrow provided to cart our gear from the car to the pitch. The wheelbarrow was handy, but it's worth noting that there is only one for the site. We didn't have any issues with it not being available but did see others not being able to use it. We then went to check out the facilities. There's a shared facilities block, with two kitchen sinks under a covered area, and then a male and female toilet/shower block - each of which has 2 loos and 1 shower. The loos are fine, and loo roll and soap was provided along with paper towels for drying hands which was good. There are also handy mirrors above the sinks. The shower is small, and only has one hook. Go prepared to squeeze into the space and plan what you're taking in with you (we took a tote bag to carry everything in so we could use the single hook). Once you're in, again, it's fine. They were as clean as could be expect, given they service a field full of campers. We only struggled a bit when it came to showering our daughter - it was tricky to fit into the shower room with her and get her sorted and I wasn't comfortable bringing her out of the room to dry and dress her. There are site rules in place - keep the noise down between 10pm and 7am being the main one for us. Unfortunately, on our first night, there were two tents making noise until 1am. It would have been great if the rules could be enforced a little bit more, or at least remind people with signs around the camp. Other than the slight noise issue, it was a fantastic location for exploring and we filled every day with ease. There are so many attractions, walks and beautiful towns within around 30 minutes drive of the site. There's also a fantastic pub within walking distance. We will be staying again, I'm sure!

Exactly what I want in a basic site

Stayed for 1 night and loved the simplicity of it. Toilets and showers were clean and well maintained. Good value for money.

Great spot, great stay!

Lovely spot, very laid back. Can have fires which is great. Facilities basic but all does the job. Walked there with my son and he enjoyed making a fire and making contact with his inner Bear Grylls! Eould go again.

Amazing site, but...

One of the nicest, picturesque sites we’ve been to. However, please cut the grass! It’s horrific for hay fever sufferers! If you can get past that eye watering hurdle though, the site is fantastic

Site's response

Sorry about the grass! It is due to be cut in the next month so it should then be better for those who do suffer with hay fever. Thanks for the lovely comments!

2nd stay and it's just as good as the first

2nd time we have used the Campsite and was as good as the first. Great value for money and we have a pitch big enough to have both our tents together. Parking is good and can unload next to the house. Only complaint is that the shower water wasn't very hot, but was still good enough for a quick shower. Will definitely use again when we return to the peaks.

very nice place

not much to do in Area , but place very clean , very nice pitch , and owners very friendly definitely reccomended

Great little campsite

Perfect site for peace and quiet and nature. Very friendly and loads of room for each tent.

Nice and easy

I had a nice and easy stay here, all the pitches were placed in little crop circles in the grass which was cool. Facilities are good and it's easy to find. I only stayed for 1 night and arrived late/left early, but it was convenient.

Great stay

Great park, very clean facilities and a great hot power shower. We would definitely book again- thanks for a great welcome and stay.

Great few days

Stayed here for 5 nights, was a really nice site set in a meadow with a good sized mowed plot, giving plenty of space. Such a quiet and private location to stay, but not far from shops and tourist places. The toilets and showers were clean. Would stay here again and had a very lovely stay. Thank you.

Fantastic stay!

Fantastic site, lovely people that make you feel welcomed and facilities are kept lovely and clean. Already planning our next trip back.

Great site

Great location, great site, great people. Highly recommend for no fuss camping.

Great campsite

Excellent campsite will definitely stay again.

Great little find

The campsite is alongside a farm, plenty of parking and the pitching area is only a short walk away. Toilet, shower and washing facilities on site. Although we weren't greeted, the setup was easy and we said hi to the owners in the morning who were lovely. It was a lovely place with loads of scenery and local wildlife around. We were even allowed to have a small campfire and there were benches dotted around making it even more appealing.

Good

Very much like advertised. We felt like we paid a little too much for the firewood, and felt that more could have been provided. Besides that - wonderful to stay in.

Great campsite

Great campsite with a great bathhouse and an outdoor sink for washing up. The camp was well maintained. A short walk from the Greyhound pub, which had great food as well.

Yew tree overnighter

Stopped for a quick one night stay to see how my cocker spaniel got on camping. Great hosts. Great site. You won't be disappointed. Nice to be able to have an open fire.

A comfortable retreat

The location is good in the sense that it is located close enough to shops and a town. We didn't try going for a hike. I haven't gone camping for quite some time and this place was great. You can have the freedom to pitch up wherever you want and have a fire going too. The bathrooms were great. They are kept so clean and there is reliable hot water.

Great site

Site was easy to find and on arrival, the owner greeted us pleasantly and quickly. The facilities were clean and tidy.

Basic campsite with clean facilities

Basic campsite with clean facilities. We only needed to stay one night, so we didn't need anything more than provided. Ate at a local pub, The Greyhound, which we walked to.

Solo camp plus one on motorcycle

Great site, well priced in an excellent location. The ground is mostly level and great for pitching. Showers and toilet were clean. Very friendly owner. Would definitely visit again.

Would definitely come back!

The hosts were very accomodating and friendly. My family and I had such an amazing time at the campsite and we would definitely come back! The shower and toilet facilities were very clean and were within easy reach from our pitch. I would highly recommend this campsite.
