Dronfield, England · 5 units
Elm Tree Farm Campsite is a small, adults-only campsite set on our working farm and livery yard in the beautiful village of Barlow, right on the edge of the Peak District. With just five pitches, it’s a countryside escape where you can slow down, switch off, and enjoy the simple charm of rural life.
Wake up to horses grazing nearby, enjoy scenic walks straight from your pitch, then spend the evening relaxing in one of our hammocks with a glass of wine while the sun sets. It’s laid-back camping with nature, fresh air, and chilled country vibes.
As we cater exclusively for fully self-contained units, we don’t provide toilet or shower facilities. We’d also recommend bringing self-levelling blocks, as the site has a gentle slope.
We’re proud to be part of the Campervan and Motorhome Club, and membership is required to book a stay with us.
Facilities include:
Electric hook-up on every pitch
Fresh drinking water
Communal water tap
Chemical waste disposal
Just four minutes from the campsite, you’ll find a lovely private walk around one of our fields with incredible sunset views across the Derbyshire countryside.
Despite our peaceful rural setting, several great spots are within walking distance:
Pubs and Restaurants
- The Peacock at Barlow – 6 mins
- The Tickled Trout – 13 mins
- The Peacock at Cutthorpe – 35 mins
- The Royal Oak – 45 mins (best reached using a walking app to avoid the main road)
Cafés
- Hackney House Café & Deli – 5 mins
- The Lakeside Café – 10 mins
Walks and Local Highlights
There are plenty of beautiful walking routes right from the campsite around the village of Barlow. You can also walk to nearby villages and spots including Dronfield and Cutthorpe.
There’s always something happening locally too, from the Barlow Village Carnival in August to the Dronfield Beer Festival in June. At Christmas, the village comes alive with tractor runs and fun carol nights at The Peacock at Barlow.

Wardlow, England · 61 units · Tents, Motorhomes
What a little Derbyshire gem: back to basics Whitehouse Farm Campsite is a simple site in a most scenic setting five minutes’ drive from the pretty village of Tideswell.
The site’s central location in the Peak District National Park means it’s a top spot for those who want to ramble or ride bikes – several circular trails leave from Tideswell and the traffic-free Monsal Trail is a five-minute drive away. And there’s plenty more activity if you require it too, as activity centres nearby can sort you out days of horse riding, abseiling, climbing and caving.
All this activity isn’t mandatory, of course – this is an equally fine location for days pottering off to local pubs, pigging out on pudding in Bakewell or taking a leisurely stroll around the Chatsworth Estate, 20 minutes away.
And if even that’s too much, you’d be welcome to spend some time loafing about on site: there’s heaps of space here, and as facilities have been kept quite minimal (just showers and toilets) there should be a good serving of peace and quiet to go with it all.
Guests are welcome to light up a barbecue or campfire for cookouts and keeping warm; Tideswell’s the place for supermarket supplies, and it’s also handily got a fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs for days when your firelighting skills aren't up to much.

Each tent has its own fire pit and there is a shared field kitchen with gas bbq, two burner hobs and simple food prep facilities, as well as tea and coffee. As there is no electricity there is no refrigerator on site, but you can rent a cooler box with a couple of bags of ice from us.

Escape to the tranquil beauty of Oxcombe Campsite, a family-friendly haven in the Lincolnshire Wolds.

With views of the historic All Saints Church and a relaxing natural atmosphere, it's perfect for unwinding in nature.
Despite its rural charm, the campsite is conveniently located near plenty of attractions. The market towns of Horncastle (10 minutes) and Louth (15 minutes) are just a short drive away, offering antiques shops, local produce, and quaint streets to explore.

Mooreacres Holiday Park
19. Mooreacres Holiday Park
England · 1 unit
It’s all rather peaceful out in the South Yorkshire countryside, where Mooreacres resides. This dog-friendly site has a splendid rural setting in Hatfield Woodhouse, and activities around here are along the lines of gorgeous walks and birdwatching in nature reserves or kayaking, paddleboarding and open-water swimming at Hatfield Outdoor Activity Centre 35 minutes’ walk away.
If that doesn’t sound just splendid already, the centre of the local village is only around half an hour’s walk away. That means that pubs and takeaways are never too far off. Of course, another, rather attractive option is to rustle together your own barbecue (which are handily permitted on site). There are shops in the village for sourcing cuts of meat, buns and other essential ingredients.
For those of you who adore a day spent with your fishing rod and family or friends, the village also has several fishing lakes, all within walking distance of the site. The lakes at Hatfield Moors Nature Reserve are just a little further out (just five minutes’ drive, to be exact) and a scenic place for spying on birdlife, including nightjars.
When you fancy a drink or a bite to eat and you want it quickly, the closest pub is just 15 minutes’ walk away (they run a carvery and stone-fired pizza for the foodies among you). Plenty of attractions are easy to access too, including the Yorkshire Wildlife Park (15 minutes) and Boston Park Farm (five minute

Wake up in the spotted shade of a leafy tree, and listen to the chorus of birdlife welcoming yet another beautiful day in this gorgeous corner of England.

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.

Really enjoyed my two-night stay at Brook Farm. It was exactly what I was looking for, peaceful, quiet and a lovely place to get away for a couple of nights.
I stayed in my campervan with my dog and had a really relaxing time. The site had a nice laid-back feel, which was perfect for me. It’s also in a great location for getting out and exploring Ashbourne and the surrounding area.
Ann was a great host too. She messaged me when I arrived to make sure everything was okay and checked in again the following day to see how I was getting on, which was a really nice touch and made me feel very welcome.
I’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful campervan stay.

Where to go
Nottinghamshire
The stomping ground of Robin Hood, it’s little surprise that Nottinghamshire is famed for its forests. Campers can pitch up in the heart of Sherwood Forest, enjoy walks and bike rides through the woodlands, or go zip-lining through the trees. Nearby, stroll through the bluebell woods of Clumber Park, which are magnificent in springtime; spot wild deer in Wollaton Park; or take a canal boat cruise along the Trent River.
Derbyshire
Derbyshire is hiking country and the gateway to the Peak District National Park, where moorlands, dales, and gritstone cliffs blanket the landscapes. Hiking, mountain biking, and rock climbing are all popular activities within the park, while a pitstop in Bakewell (home of the Bakewell Tart) and a visit to Chatsworth House are also regional musts. Campers have options, whether you want to park up your caravan on the Chatsworth Estate or pitch your tent on the moors.
Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire’s headline act is Lincoln Cathedral, but there's more to discover than history and heritage in this rural county. Come in spring to see the region's renowned tulips in full bloom, then escape to the lowland forests and valleys of the Lincolnshire Wolds, where walking trails and camping sites line the hillsides. Along the coast, Skegness is the quintessential beach resort of the Midlands, where summer campers can pitch up right by the seaside.
Leicestershire
Heritage towns, deer parks, and 15th-century battlefields dot the countryside of Leicestershire. Simple pleasures await campers, whether walking amid fields of snowdrops in the Dimminsdale Nature Reserve (visit in late winter), glamping in the shadows of Belvoir Castle, or checking into a tranquil caravan park in the middle of the countryside.
