Camping on a Peak District farm near the Monsal Trail

White Peak Camping is a simple site in the Peak District and simultaneously in the middle of everything and in the middle of nowhere. It’s a campsite on a farm that’s midway between Bakewell and Buxton. It’s just 15 minutes’ drive from Chatsworth House and a single mile from the walking and cycling of the traffic-free Monsal Trail. And yet, despite being within easy reach of the must-see sights of this part of the national park, it’s rather quiet round here. The site is in the sleepy hamlet of Priestcliffe surrounded by dry stone walls, farmer’s fields and… well… not much more than that.

There’s no shop within walking distance but there are two pubs if you don’t mind a mile-or-so hike across hills and dales. Those who will like it here most are exactly those kind of people; capable and outdoorsy. This is a dog-friendly, pitch where-you-please campsite in a gently sloping field that’s available for campers with tents and campervans only. You enter through the farmyard and, if hosts Paul and Janice are busy elsewhere on the farm, you’re invited to set yourself up. They’ll be around to say hello later and to sell you logs for a campfire if you want one. They'll provide a fire pit for free. It’s a relaxed place with a tree swing, toilets and taps – but no showers. There’s certainly nothing to distract you from the far-reaching Peak District views.

As the name of the campsite implies, this is the White Peak, the central-southern and softer part of the Peak District National Park where the countryside forms rolls rather than crags. The Monsal Trail, the route of a former railway line, provides a great way to travel through it on two feet or two wheels. You can join it just a mile away at Miller’s Dale. For a faster way to get around, you’re also not far off the A6 which links Buxton, just over six miles in one direction, with Bakewell, just over six miles away in the other. In fact, all of the White Peak is easily accessible from here and all of the wider Peak District can be explored on day trips too.

Stunning little campsite with basic but clean and perfect facilities. Fire pits that you can borrow and not have to hire is a rarity these days and was much appreciated for the chilly night! Cute tree swing and some picnic tables in the middle. The views are beautiful and it’s a great location for cheedale stepping stones and the Monsall trail. Janice was lovely and as it was a quiet time of year was super relaxed about check in and out times and let us leave our vans in the field while we went for a walk before heading home. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back.

Nearby attractions

White Peak Camping is in a tiny hamlet in the White Peak part of the Peak District National Park. The whole of the national park is great for outdoor adventure including walking, cycling, climbing and caving. You can head out on walks in the surrounding countryside using the network of local footpaths. A farm track (suitable if you’re on foot or mountain bikes) leads towards Miller’s Dale and a handy access point onto the Monsal Trail, a traffic-free trail on the route of a former railway which goes through tunnels and over viaducts. If you haven’t brought your bike, you can hire one at either end of this 11-mile trail either at Chee Dale or Hassop Station. Much of the trail follows the River Wye and at western end Chee Dale is a peaceful limestone gorge and nature reserve. The market town of Bakewell and the spa town of Buxton are both just over six miles away (a drive of about 15 minutes in either direction) with plenty of shops, sites and eateries. The magnificent Chatsworth House, its gardens and wider estate are also only about 15 minutes’ drive from site as is the pretty, medieval house, Haddon Hall.

Food and drink

Walk cross country on farm tracks and footpaths to reach The Angler’s Rest at Miller’s Dale for food and drinks in a riverside garden that’s dog and family friendly. It’s just over a mile away on foot or just under two by car. In the other direction, also about a mile away, there’s another good option for a meal out: The Queen’s Arms in Taddington. For campsite supplies, stock up before you come or use day trips in Buxton or Bakewell to do your shopping. Alternatively, the nearest shops are in Tideswell (five miles).
