Clear filters Great camping weekend
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jun 2023 Great weekend. Quite busy as there was lots on a band, stalls, pizza, pony rides, face painting, but the site was quiet at night.
Clean and didn't feel too busy.
Excellent site for all
Small Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jun 2023 Good location, lovely walk up to the nine ladies. Site is quite steep in places. Had a great weekend, didn't realise it was families weekend when we booked it and there were 4 adults in our party. Still had a great time, loads to do.
Excellent bar on site, lovely staff with a wide variety of drinks at a reasonable price. Live band on Saturday evening, which were good. Site staff very friendly and helpful. Site kept clean and tidy, by staff rather than other campers. Plenty of toilets and showers. Good site shop, again good prices, stocks most things.
Only downside was other campers not respecting others and camp rules. Dogs running round off their leads disturbing other dogs, people shouting at their dogs at 7am, wouldn't be necessary if they were on a lead.
Best family campsite
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jun 2023 Best caravan site with everything you need.
Great site, children's playground, on site shop, games room and well looked after toilets and washrooms. Very well run and know the needs of campers. We visited last year and returned again for their amazing events that they put on.
All had brilliant time, even if weather was a little cold and windy! Accessible, well run campsite which is ideal for families
Amazing campsite
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jun 2023 Beautiful, family friendly campsite with great facilities.
I saw the toilets and showers being cleaned to a very high standard. Easy and quick check-in, lovely shop, great facilities for kids and a beautiful and tranquil location.
Can't wait to return.
Great weekend
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jun 2023 Great weekend. Very.clean and tidy. Excellent shower and toilet facilities.
Shop on site.
Few days with friends
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jun 2023 This is was the third visit for a few days of remote camping with our friends and it never disappoints. Clean facilities & lovely staff (who help you out when your car battery dies!) The family fun day was lovely and the band in the evening was amazing. 2 pubs in walking distance and some lovely scenic walks to stretch your legs. We'll be back again for sure!
Lovely site, perfect for kids
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jun 2023 Lovely site with lots of activities for the kids. Will definitely be back for another long weekend.
Brilliant
Small Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jun 2023 Excellent stay, really clean and toilets managed well. Fabulous entertainment, great atmosphere. Felt really safe.
Weekend break
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jun 2023 We took our grandchild away for a weekend break and the campsite more than lived up to what we needed. Loads of safe space to run and play, a handy shop for those forgotten essentials, animals to entertain us and clean, well stocked bathroom facilities.
Would definitely stay here again
Excellent stay
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jun 2023 Just had a lovely 2 night stay at Barn Farm. The location was great for both Matlock and Bakewell. The site was very well maintained and the facilities were exceptionally clean. Would definitely recommend.
Our first venture out in a campervan
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jun 2023 Lovely clean, orderly site with excellent facilities.
We had only 3 mid-week nights and wished we'd been able to stay longer. It seemed quiet and other visitors were respectful and friendly.
We used the showers as we were in a campervan and they were spacious and clean. We didn't get to use the other facilities, shop, children's area, games room.
Walks in all directions, beautiful views, peacocks and alpacas and dog friendly and the site was very well laid out and immaculate. Nice pubs in the village in walking distance.
Fantastic camp site
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jun 2023 Third stay at Barn Farm, excellent as always.
We will be back!
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jun 2023 Lovely quiet spot with great views, plenty of walks on the doorstep including the intriguing and fun Rowtor Rocks out the back of the Druid Inn in the village.
Spacious pitches in the campervan/caravan areas and amenities close by. Adult only shower block is a great idea and the play area/games room makes it up to the younger guests.
Can't write a review and not mention the peacocks peacocking everywhere!
Really lovely campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jun 2023 Honestly, such a lovely campsite. Facilities & cleanliness are high on my list of priorities when camping & I think these are the best I've seen.
Lots for the kids to do too. We had plans to hike & visit local attractions but didn't end up doing any of it until we were leaving as we all enjoyed our time on site so much. Kids well entertained - hence happy chilled parents.
Very lively Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jun 2023 The site attracted a group of people who met up and partied with burning torches, loud music and talking till very late.
lovely site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jun 2023 we had a lovely stay here at BarnFarm. The staff were very friendly inviting and helpful. amenities were lovely and clean. Facilities were great and the site very clean and tidy. it was in a lovely area too with a lib about 5mins walk away in the local village and there were some greatvwalks too would definitely recommend and visit again. Thank you
Great family escape in the Peaks
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jun 2023 Great location, helpful team, fun for kids with nice gastropubs in walking distance and brilliant walks for little legs
Will definitely return.
Nice site but toilets/showers disappointed VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jun 2023 Barn Farm is a lovely looking site with lots of space for camping and touring. The upkeep of the actual site is nice and tidy and about a 10 minute walk to the nearest pub 'The Red Lion' and 'The Druid Inn' a bit further down. If you want to eat in either of those pubs, make sure you book in advance as we couldn't get anything to eat and the site shop shut at 5pm on Saturday. We managed to knock something up from the food we took with us.
Our only negative really was we felt the toilets and showers were pretty poor when it comes to cleanliness. I don't know whether they were cleaned once while we were there?
This was our first trip out in the van around the peaks so we'll probably try other sites and won't be back for a while, if at all. Shame about the toilets and showers as the rest of the site is nice!
Brill
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jun 2023 Really lovely weekend with friends and children. Camped right next to the park, clean facilities, everyone loved it!
Great weekend at Birchover
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jun 2023 Had a great weekend at Barn Farm, Birchover with the three generations of the Luke family. Our annual trip which coincided with Father's day so plenty of fun. Facilities were wonderful, but my wife did find the supply of loo paper in the Ladies toilets was sparse/none. However plenty of hot water and very clean facilities. See you next year or sooner.
Lovely spot but sleep disturbed by peacocks! Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jun 2023 A lovely campsite with good play facilities for children. Limited options locally for buying food/drink - unfortunately the pizza vans/bars etc advertised weren't there for our visit (a weekend near midsummer).
Our main issue was the peacocks. They were beautiful but there were around 6 of them and they made a really loud racket from 3.30am each morning, which made it impossible to sleep after this point. Sadly it would put us off a repeat visit. All fields also quite hilly so sleeping trickier without sliding down the tent each night.
Beautiful location though and clean, well maintained facilities.
Lovely stay in the Peak District
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jun 2023 A beautifully kept site. Tranquil with good facilities which are exceptionally clean. Good local pubs in the beautiful village of Birchover. Local walks are interesting and full of wildlife. There are separate areas for caravan pitches and tents. Huge fields accommodate the brilliant DofE award students' camping expeditions, who are always fun and helpful.
Brilliant campsite for all
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jun 2023 A really great campsite for all. We stayed in Field 1 which was peaceful. Field 4 was slightly louder, but also seemed to have a lot of family groups. The park was great, but the added bonus was the separate area with the trampoline, badminton and a few other outdoor games. The facilities were great, including good working showers.
Lovely site
Twin Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2023 Lovely site, very clean & lots for little ones to do.
Family stay
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jun 2023 We had a lovely stay at the campsite. The facilities were very clean and was a welcoming environment.
Loads to do for our kids to keep them entertained.
Only thing I'd say it is set up too close to the park, as there's a peacock that roosts in the tree and calls throughout the night, which woke us up a few times.
