What a perfect spot - well off the track but accessible, with a field for space, trees for woodland camping, a burbling stream, great compost toilets, fireplaces. What’s not to like? And David is the perfectly charming host. We would have stayed another night, but time is against us.

1 night at White Peak Camping

This is a good value, classic farm site in the heart of the Peak District. No extra charge for fire pits. Very friendly host. No showers, and toilets are clean but basic, ie, in a rough timber cabin. Only cold water. But I'm very happy with all of that and will be back.

What a great site to stay at. I pitched up later in the afternoon and was gone early in the morning, but the amenities were clean and tidy. Plenty of space to spread out so you are never too close to your neighbour. Will certainly be coming back to stay in the near future.

We loved staying the night. We lucked out and we're the only people staying, so had the place to ourselves! Lovely location for a campsite, right next to the river. Three clean compost toilets to choose from! David was excellent, even though we didn't meet he messaged before and the morning after our stay. Would definitely recommend this place to stay!

Weekend Trip to Crooked Willows Farm

A decent striped back camp field. On the doorstep of Holt Heath which made dog walking a breeze. Visited out of season so I was the only tent camper for the weekend although there seem to be some residents on site. Did get awoken when one resident came returned to the site at midnight and talking quite loud there on. But otherwise a nice overnight.

This is the perfect little spot for a rustic couple of nights relaxing. This is my second year here. Mobile data is sketchy here so either do without the phone, or print a map for walks before you arrive.

Weekend Trip to Woodlands Camping

We loved our weekend stay here. The site is really tucked away. We were in the clearing, adult only area - 6 massive pitches, extremely quiet, lots of birdsong (especially tawny owls at night). Lots of walks nearby. Other campers respectfully quiet. Compost loo’s (although trailer loo’s in operation when we went) rustic and hot showers, nestled in the hedge so could see all the blue tits whilst getting changed, which was lovely. Just our kind of place, all recycling and composting offered. If you want quiet, nature, walking, or cycling, no fuss, eco then this is for you.

3 nights at Baystone Bank Farm Campsite

We stayed at your campsite for three nights and chose a pitch right next to the stream. We absolutely loved it! ❤️ The weather wasn’t on our side, but we actually spent all three days at the campsite without going anywhere, because we felt so comfortable and cosy there. The showers were great, and we really liked the little washing-up area everything was clean, convenient and well thought out. We had such a lovely and relaxing stay and will definitely come back again. We were honestly sad to leave! One thing we were pleasantly surprised about the campsite says there is no internet, but we actually had a really good 5G signal, so we had no problems staying connected at all. Thank you for such a lovely stay! We really enjoyed it. 😊

Amazing spot for camping. There are grass patches as well as woodland area. The area is lovely and quite. The host is super friendly and welcoming. This was the 2nd time camping at this site with my friends and wont be the last!

Weekend Trip to The Nut Plat Retreat

Wonderful stay at this rustic retreat! The hot tub was easy to use, super comfortable bed, and (very) nearby pub was delicious - even a free community curry night one evening. We were also able to charge our phones at the pub and send a quick text since the site didn't have sockets/cell service (not a bad thing just something to note)! Unlimited wood and quick responses from Duncan made this an extremely smooth-sailing glamping retreat! Extremely private-feeling as well. Will definitely return for another needed city escape :)
