Brilliant place, stunning setting, pick of 3 fields to pop your tent in, no pitches so totally free to roam and choose the perfec spot. V quiet site, in fact we were the only ones there; magic. Bob the owner v friendly and keeps chickens and has organic meat to sell. Lovely walks nearby and village pub 20 mins away. ok site has limited services (eg a hose for water and a compost loo, thats your lot) but a v mellow place. We liked it a lot.

Had a lovely weekend camp here. A huge field to choose your spot, brazier and wood supplied for that all important night time camp fire and a real back to basics(!!) compost toilet complete with roosting hens for company at night. Mary looked after us, did the washing for a modest fee, ditto a warm shower. She also regaled us with lots of local history, tales, anecdotes and advice. Beautiful location and lovely, helpful owner - highly recommended.

A really fantastic back to basics site on a working farm. Just cold water taps and a compost toilet for facilities but don't let this put your off.
Situated just outside the pretty village of Kniveton, the owners of the farm Mary and Bob are friendly and welcoming although do book in advance.
Bob sells thee most decicious organic steak, burgers, lamb and fresh hen and duck eggs. The top of the main field has a flat spot for pitching and great views towards the peaks. They allow campfires and you pay a small fee towards firewood. We visited two weekend in a row!
Allows campervans and tents only.

Idyllic, peaceful, basic, no midgies or mozzies, lovely people and a beautiful part of England. Spent a week here and there was a camper van at the bottom of the field too for a couple of nights. So if you want to get away...... Fantastic view from above the quarry beyond the top of the field.
