Brilliant campsite. It's on my list of campsites to return to and hopefully often. It's in a great location and reasonable driving distance to many of the fantastic villages and many walking routes out of the campsite is a bonus. It's great for the kids. There is a play area and games room. The games room requires silver to play the games on offer and their is a large field, with enough distance from the other fields, that is dedicated to DofE groups. There were many of them, but it didn't dampen the atmosphere or the quiet campsite. I'll be returning to Barn Farm soon!

Great stay

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMay 2025

Always a pleasure to stay here. Great location and good facilities. The next camping field to us was full of young people doing Duke of Edinburgh award. Lovely to see young people enjoying themselves, we found all students polite and friendly. Weather great whilst we were there, so ice cream van an inspired idea.

My friend and I had a lovely stay at Barn Farm, just perfect. Gorgeous views, lovely little village with 2 nice pubs a short walk from the camp site, serving food. Matlock, Ashbourne and Bakewell all a short drive away. The campsite had a lot of bins dotted all around which were emptied regularly. Lots of toilets that are cleaned regularly and showers. Several washing up areas and even a space for drying clothes. There is a lovely little shop on site which is handy if you forget anything or if you just want an ice cream. There is a games room and an outside play area for the kids. The peacocks and alpacas on the farm are a nice addition. Plenty of field space, beautiful surroundings and friendly staff. Had a lovely weekend and hope to return soon.

Gorgeous site

We went with the Hillside Owners meeting, loved every thing about this site. Beautiful walks, easy walk to local pub, bus stops close by (although we did not use) and views to take your breath away. On reading reviews before we went, a lot of people mentioned the fact that there was a field for DOE students, I thought, oh, not sure about this! How wrong was I. Absolutely loved watching these very respectful young people setting up their tents, cooking, playing games, it was a delight to be reminded that most young people are very respectful. A very unusual addition to the site was a security guard, walking round making sure everyone was considerate to each other. If one of my children had been staying at this site, I would have been so pleased knowing this gentleman was looking out for everyone, well done Barn Farm.

Absolutely wonderful. Mark and the team work wonders looking after the site. A great time was had by all. We will be back again for the 5th time next year. The view, the wildlife, the location, all bind together to make a great location.

Lovely stay in beautiful location

Lovely site with amazing views! We booked for one night previously and liked it so much we went back the following week! Would recommend, lovely relaxing stay. Loved seeing the peacocks and alpacas too! We took our dog also and surrounding walks are great too! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location, we will definitely book again soon.

We had a fabulous time

We arrived on Friday evening! We loved looking at the free roaming peacocks walk around the park. It was really busy and staff were very polite and very accommodating. The children enjoyed playing in the little outdoors area with badminton, basketball and ring toss. There was a very popular wood fire pizza van here Fri & Sat as it was a busy weekend. The next day we had issues with our electrics. The owner spent loads of time trying to help us and eventually we sorted out the problem with our trailer tent. The children loved playing on their wooden play area and games room. The little shop was great for picking up the odd items you may have forgotten or needed. The bathrooms were always clean and well stocked up. Everyone was polite and we had a fabulous stay and can't wait to come here again! Thank you ☺️

Excellent stay!

Great place with great facilities! Plentiful pot washing stations with lovely deep sinks, hot water, blue roll etc. Plentiful toilets which never ran out of loo roll. I only waited a few minutes for a shower room at peak time on a morning, and the shower room was great with a sink and mirror and hooks and a little bench to put stuff on. Decent play area for kids and some kids toys set up. A games room which we didn't use and communal fridge freezer etc. I would definitely go back!

Fantastic place

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1)May 2025

Stayed for 3 nights over the May bank holiday weekend. We were particularly impressed with the facilities. There were several toilet blocks, pot wash areas and showers, all of which were clean, regularly maintained by staff and offered hot running water. There was also a well stocked shop with all essentials, and a pizza van making lovely pizzas on the Friday and Saturday night, as well as playground and games room for the kids. The site was busy (expected on a nice bank holiday), with a lot of DofE groups (some tired looking teenagers plodding about in the evenings!) but all campers respected the expectations of quiet after 10pm, which was good for us with an early settling 4 year old. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had car trouble on the way, meaning we pitched up later than we intended, but they were very flexible and supportive of our issue. The location perfectly suited what we wanted, close to lovely towns and tourist attractions. The pubs in the nearby village were nice and we had a lovely meal at the Druid Inn one night. Our pitch was slightly sloped, but not uncomfortably so, but there are plenty of flatter spots, we were just too late to get one. Be ready to see peacocks wandering around the fields, and hearing them making loud conversation from time to time at night. Overall, the site was great, perfect for what we needed with a young child (couldn't get her off the playground!). We would definitely stay again if we were to come back to the area.
