Liked: No fuss just pitch up on arrival ,choice of two fields with ample room . Lovely location with clean toilets and hand basins. Very pleasant owner calls in evening to collect your fees and you are able to rent fire pits and buy logs from him. Although there is no electric on pitches I found it a refreshing change from the usual organised club sites .
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Spacious, clean, feeling of being remote without being far away from Bakewell etc, drinking water on tap. Its really basic, but its billed as a wild camp site, so it definitely does what it says on the tin!
Disliked: No washing up area, just something to be consious of if you have kids!
