Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2023 Our stay at Barn Farm Campsite was nice.
Good footpaths from the campsite which we enjoyed being dog owners and having children with lots of energy. Play park was good and some games on the front of the campsite (nearer to reception) a bit dated but still ok to play on. Peacocks wandering around campsite, which was nice to see. We found toilets, shower, washing up areas clean and tidy. Showers were always nice and hot! A little shop onsite, which is handy.
Ok so a couple of points from us. Lady in reception was not particularly friendly or helpful, which is a shame. The field we were on was field 2, which we didn't realise, as we thought we were on field 1, but there was no clear signage nor was it made clear in reception. We weren't asked to move. Also, it was on a hill, so camping space was limited as naturally want to try be on flatter ground.
Our stay Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Poor arrival system, nonchalant, unhelpful staff. The only toilet block needs updating and was a long walk from our pitch.
Certain member of staff thought it was okay to drive their utility vehicle, around the site, recklessly fast and drift it around corners. My complaint to reception was met with the nonchalant reply, "yeah ok".
Wouldn't recommend and won't return.
Excellent
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 Brilliant location, excellent price, facilities kept very clean. The only slight downer was the condition of the games room and our side toys. People need to respect the items more, a lot were broken or didn't work but I suspect this is more to misuse.
Staff were helpful and always busy doing something. Touring bar and food were also brilliant at the weekend.
Very nice
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 Lots of fun for the kids with outdoor games and peacocks roaming around.
Excellent and well equipped campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 We have just got home from a fantastic few days at Barn Farm. The facilities were clean and hot water plentiful. The open fronted barn was a really handy place to eat in when it was raining! We would definitely recommend this site.
Excellent campsite, great location
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2023 The campsite was brilliant. We loved it and had a thoroughly fab time.
We were fine without a hook up and had a hassle-free and very pleasant stay. The location was amazing and the fact a pizza van came at the weekend was fab too.
A couple of points are that the recycling took a while to be emptied and that the men's toilets, although clean had a distinct wiff. We managed to get a flat space although these are sought after.
Overwhelming though- a great find and would love to go back.
Great campsite and facilities
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2023 Lovely campsite, we went with a group of friends and had a fabulous time.
We had both sunshine and rain, the site is sheltered yet still provides wonderful scenery and views into the valley.
We had 8 children with us, ranging from 2-9 years and the site was safe and had plenty to keep them entertained. NB the games room requires 50p coins and £1 coins to operate.
The only negative was the cleanliness - generally okay and I think the loos were cleaned twice daily…the quality of the clean could be improved.
Plenty of facilities though for washing, showers etc, including adult-only showers, and pot wash areas etc were great.
Great value for money and I would return!
Lovely site!
Small Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2023 A lovely site. We have had a very enjoyable weekend! A very large and busy site. On both evenings, we have heard noise from other guests til gone 1am. The facilities are good and it's very good that the showers are free of charge. The toilets sometimes looked like they needed a clean around the sink areas, but we do understand that they are serving a lot of people. Only a few washing up sinks had plugs so you had to go searching for one. We would recommend this site for families and get togethers. I would think it would be quieter in the week! Thanks again.
Annual trip for our family x 3 tents
Small Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2023 We come here each year, 3 generations of family, for a weekend get together.
The site is clean and tidy, rules aren't too strict but are in place and the toilet/shower block is always clean. The wash up facilities are good, if guests are considerate for others that is (which sadly some are not).
Some weekends are very busy as there are additional activities on, so if you want to avoid that check the website. Likewise if you're into that sort of thing, book! We've done both kinds 😉
Local to the site are 2 pubs and miles of good walks.
Good site
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2023 Park and games were great for kids. Facilities clean. Fridge and freezer were a great idea. Pizza van was a fab idea. They're delicious, but beware they are very popular so there will be a long wait!
Great family stay!
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2023 Lovely place to stay! A few games on the green for kids, peacocks dotted around and a great little playground. Nice and peaceful, whenever any teens got rowdy the security put a stop to it pretty quickly as they walked around.
We are first time campers and it ended up being a great choice. The only thing that was unfortunate for us was we ran out of gas and the shop was closed. The number given to call someone to it wasn't answered, so no brews for us from 5:30pm Saturday to 10am Sunday, gutted! Just one of those things. (On the same note, absolute god send that the pizza van was there as we were in the middle of cooking! Loved the pizza van!!)
Great location, lovely village pub and great value for money. Would definitely visit again!
Brilliant!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 Brilliant site! Lovely setting, fantastic facilities, plus food trucks and even peacocks roaming around! Not sure how it could be better frankly!
Lovely, busy campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 Busy, but not crowded and plenty of clean and nice facilities. Great provisions for children.
Great campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 Our first camping trip with our daughters and the facilities were spot on. The showers were lovely and clean. Added bonus of a breakfast cob van. Wood fired pizza and only a short walk to nearby pubs. Site was perfect for the children with plenty of little play areas to keep them occupied.
Lovely campsite
Backpacker Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 I had a lovely stay here. Excellent, clean facilities. Peacocks everywhere!
Fabulous
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2023 Fabulous stay at Barn Farm. It helped that the weather treated us kindly, but the site was great. Great facilities, clean and friendly. We will definitely be coming back.
Brilliant stay, great for families!
Small Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2023 Lovely campsite in a very attractive setting. Staff are friendly, peacocks are sociable and overall a very relaxing environment. Will certainly come back.
Great Location
Trailer Tent - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 Difficult to find fault with this site. Facilities are great, showers and toilets always clean and always hot water for showers. Great walks all round without the need to drive off site.
Only improvement I would suggest is that the shop could be open more often and better stocked.
10/10 - definitely recommend
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 Amazing location with great facilities. Loved the peacocks, alpacas and the cows!
If you are camping in the Peak District then I definitely recommend this campsite.
Excellent Campsite
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2023 We have visited Barn Farm Campsite for the last 4 years and have always found it a lovely campsite. The facilities are great and are always kept clean. We shall use it again.
Amazing place
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2023 Amazing site would recommend to everyone - we will be back again.
Perfect site!
Small Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2023 Brilliant campsite. Everything you need without being over commercialised. The added extra of the use of the barn in bad weather was fab and we were so grateful to have this warm, dry space.
Good site and lovely location Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 It has to be said that the location is by far the best aspect of this site; stunning countryside with fantastic views and so many great places to visit within a few miles.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
The site was very quiet, with few campers which was actually quite nice as we'd expected that the site would be fairly booked up. I would imagine the facilities might have been a bit stretched if the site had been fully booked as the camping fields are extensive and, unless I'm mistaken, there is a total of 16 shower rooms available for the site.
We'd definitely come back as the negatives outweighed the positives by some way and as I mentioned, you cannot get much better location wise.
Great site
Trailer Tent - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jul 2023 Loved it. Great site.
Great campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 No hot water in pot wash area and was very sporadic in the shower area
The private cubicles were nice. Mark was very helpful and friendly. Peacocks were lovely to see but can be noisy if you are in a tent. Take earplugs.
It's a bigger campsite than we would normally choose, but we were there for a wedding. The barns were great, the bigger one was fab for a get together with friends.
The one for a couple was really nice. This is a good all round campsite that can facilitate everyone's needs.
