Peak District touring pitches at a farm in the village of Wetton
Walk from site to Thor's Cave; Alton Towers 20 minutes' drive
A short walk from the village pub and tea room, plus walking trails

If the key components of your break in the Peak District National Park are a) easy access to walks, and b) easy access to a good post-walk pint, then you’ll probably be most pleased with the location of Yew Tree Farm Touring. This Derbyshire touring site is on the edge of the village of Wetton, opposite the village car park, which functions as the start point for several walking routes. That means that once you’ve parked your van, you can simply set out on foot to get to Thor’s Cave, meander along the Manifold Way or find various other ways to soak up some of the scenery. If you don’t mind a little bit of a drive, the likes of Dovedale and the Heights of Abraham can be on the schedule too. Wherever you end up (even if it’s Alton Towers, which is also nearby), you’ll be able to finish the day with a well-earned drink at the local pub, which is just a couple of minutes’ walk from the site. The village also has a tea room that’s open at weekends if a piece of cake and a cuppa is more your style. The site opens up its on-site refreshment trailer during summer weekends (from 10am to 5pm) to sell locally sourced Jersey ice cream, drinks and hot drinks. For dinner, you may want to bring along a barbecue and load it up with supplies from shops in Ashbourne (20 minutes’ drive) instead. Touring pitches are set up in a five-acre field, so there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have a bit of peace. There's a shower and toilet block on site, with outdoor washing-up facilities and a hot-water dog wash, as well as a chemical toilet disposal point.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, basic campsite in a beautiful location, praised for its quiet atmosphere, lovely views, and proximity to walks and pubs. Reviewers highlight the spacious, level pitches and appreciate the inclusion of a portaloo and drinking water tap. It's considered excellent value for money and a great base for exploring attractions like Thor's Cave. While some note the very basic nature of the facilities and occasional challenges with navigation and communication, the overall sentiment is very positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Apr 2026 Kyrstin F.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Loved the nearby Thor's cave. Definitely worth a visit.

Disliked The reason for booking this campsite was one of the features being a 'peaceful' campsite. We also requested a 'quiet pitch' on booking. All looked good when we arrived. However, on arriving back from our walk the tent next to us had a large group of people who were playing music. It wasn't overly loud, but we didn't want to have to listen to it - I should have checked there was a no music policy on booking. We tried to move pitch and our small campervan got stuck in the mud. Fortunately a very kind soul came to our assistance. It was better once we moved. There were a number of cars getting stuck in the mud though. This site is clearly a work in progress though, so hopefully this will be sorted for other damp days.

Liked nice big field, pretty level in terms of flatness. quiet, lovely views and some farm animals to look at with the kids. really remote and peaceful. Good price too.

Disliked not sure how they monitor who has paid or not, we just turned up, pitched up and wasn't asked by anyone if we had proof to be there.
