2 nights at White Peak Camping

What a lovely site! Toilets and facilities are spotless. Hosts were absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait to come again!

4 nights at White Peak Camping

Quiet, clean, great sunsets, good price, everything you need, and extra extra nice hosts. Would book again!

2 nights at Burrs Manor Wild Camping

Nice spot with all required amenities and a great shower! Beautifully quiet.

3 nights at Camping at The Hollies

Paid a midweek (Tues-Fri) visit to the Hollies- yet another enjoyable time there. Hit lucky again with superb weather conditions, superb spotless toilets and showers, friendly family members call round to check if firewood is needed, and that all is OK. Pizza man was stocking up for the weekend (Fri-Sun) friendly chap and reviews for what he sells are all good. Look forward to my next visit to this superb site, next chance I get.

1 night at The Barn KT9

We had a great time at The Barn. The site was very peaceful and the pitches were well maintained. We had a nice walk to the pub for dinner and had a great coffee in the morning on the onsite cafe.

Weekend Trip to Shire Camping

Harry was the perfect host! He met us at the site entrance when we arrived and showed us to our pitch. The pitches are huge with plenty of space around them which makes the site feel private and quiet. It is in a beautiful location with two lovely villages within walking distance and lots of other attractions a short drive away. The toilets and washing facilities are basic and clean. We loved the minimal impact on the environment. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and return.

1 night at Penn Meadow Farm

Lovely spot, allowed to pick our own 'pitch' - nothing marked out, just go where you want. It's a back to basics campsite as advertised and that's what I like. We recevied a friendly welcome and everyone on the site was plesant and stuck to the no music after 10 rule. Lots of families and a good atmosphere.

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

Lovely campsite with great views. Plenty of space - over the BH weekend it was quite busy, with a whole range of different groups etc, everyone very friendly. my kids loved the resident sheepdogs, and the pigs. The toilet/shower block is very nicely done and kept as clean as possible, recognising it was very busy when we went. We'd definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

A great site close to Chee Dale/Monsal Trail, had a great bank holiday weekend here, the only let down being the weather (typical). Would definitely recommend and come back again in the future! Toilets were very clean and maintained regularly. Thanks for a great stay!

Very nice location with plenty of walks, biking and rock climbing close by. Great views and close to a village pub!

Weekend Trip to Camping at The Hollies

Very clean and well maintained site. Owners are around multiple times a day and very friendly and helpful! Toilets, shower and patio area cleaned regularly. The pizzas are delicious and a great touch! And of course can’t grumble at the lovely view

Weekend Trip to Camping at The Hollies

Lovely little campsite with great views. A little busier than we expected but it was bank holiday. Lots of walks directly from the campsite and some nice local pubs not too far away. Field was well maintained, facilities were generally clean and campsite owners were friendly.

Weekend Trip to Radcot Leisure on Thames

We had a great weekend camping with our 2 children - the setting was really lovely and a great addition being so close to a pub! The campsite is a nice size and there was a lovely chilled atmosphere when we stay. The facilities could do with an update as they are very basic and compact but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our camping trip!

Weekend Trip to Shire Camping

Great campsite, extremely peaceful in a beautiful setting. Harry is super helpful and ensures your time spent at his site is relaxing, the pizza van on Saturday night is a perfect addition. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

Weekend Trip to Freedom Farm Camping

We loved staying at Freedom farm - really secluded away from all noise, and beautiful grounds! Helena and Duncan were so hospitable, checking in on us that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Thank you so much!
