Family-run campsite in a scenic Peak District location
Bakewell 15 minutes' drive; Chatsworth 20 minutes
Separate adults-only and family-friendly camping fields in White Peak

Burrow down surrounded by typical Derbyshire farmland at Knotlow Farm, a friendly family-run farm campsite in the scenic White Peak area of the Peak District National Park. That’s your first step… and the second? Perhaps renting a bicycle from Parsley Hay, 10 minutes’ drive away, to pedal out over Peak District landscapes, or maybe whisking your four-legged friends off on an outdoor adventure – after all, they’re welcome here too. This rural break is a top choice for a variety of travellers because of its separate adults-only and family-friendly pitching areas. The site has a washing-up area, toilets and hot showers (plus a family bathroom with changing area) too, making it easy to refresh yourself at the end of a long day trekking through the local countryside or exploring some of the area's top tourist attractions… There are many of those nearby, by the way. Set just outside the small hamlet of Flagg, Knotlow Farm is a quarter of an hour's drive from market towns like Bakewell and 20 minutes’ drive from Derbyshire must-sees like Chatsworth House. There is also a small on-site shop to bag essential groceries and sweets, but if you're not in the mood for cooking, grab one of the site’s home-made pizzas every evening. There are breakfasts available every morning and fire baskets can also be hired too (with logs for sale), just in case you're after that extra little bit of evening ambience…

Peace and quiet! great location for a quiet getaway with loved ones

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (adults only)

Liked: The site was well maintained. The toilets and showers were very clean and all in a large barn so felt warm. The washing up area was also in the barn, so well out of the weather. Pizza available to order for supper and breakfast in morning. 20p for 2 min shower but plenty at reception. Lovely staff. Beautiful countryside.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: Lots of areas to pitch in, lovely views, great facilities, vending machine for little late night treats, local attraction information. Showers are 20p but the whole area is very clean - worth it! Limestone Walk cuts through the site. Only 20 mins walk to a cute farm shop if the groceries stocked in the site reception aren’t cutting the mustard. Less than an hours walk to Monyash with a pub and a cafe. 20 odd minutes drive into Bakewell or Buxton. Didn’t try the pizzas or breakfast baps but saw plenty of people picking them up so they must be ok! Fire pit for hire at £5 - logs are £10 a bag, kindling £6.

Disliked: It’s really lovely here, and it feels churlish to mention, because they obviously have to make money to stay open (and it’s cost me and my dog £12 a night so an absolute bargain), however, the logs and kindling are about half the price in the Buxton Aldi so if you are indulging, on a very tight budget, hire the pit, but pick some up on the way through and save yourself a good tenner! Finally, we saw plenty of families enjoying their time here but it isn’t super exciting for little ones (I didn’t see any kiddie park for instance) so pack entertainment if you have rambunctious ones!

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: Peaceful location. No traffic noise. Lovely and quiet at night. We were in the family field and all the kids went to bed early.

Spacious pitches - great that you can have more than one tent on your pitch.

Clean facilities in custom block.

Well kept field. Pretty hilly but possible to find flattish areas.

Delicious pizzas.

WiFi good in the facilities block (no mobile signal or wifi in field.)

Disliked: Showers not as hot as I’d like - not able to adjust temperature. Not that powerful either. But fine for a basic clean. The 2-minute timer wasn’t an issue.

Local attractions

Those of you who want to glide past the sloping Peak District countryside can get started on the Tissington Trail (10 minutes’ drive). The old railway track is suited to wheels or walking boats, and the historic setting will get you ready for more historical sites… Those include Chatsworth House (20 minutes) and its peaceful grounds, excellent for a picnic and a walk, and the Nine Ladies stone circle (20 minutes). Legend has it each stone was once a lady punished for dancing on a Sunday. You may soon be dancing yourself - even on a Sunday - after a tour of Buxton (15 minutes) or Bakewell (15 minutes). Both characterful Peak District towns are packed with pubs, restaurants and cafés, and of course, in Bakewell, the speciality is Bakewell tarts. Down Chatsworth House way is Chesterfield (35 minutes) too – a destination for all things theatre, golfing and gourmet eats – but further on, it’s easy enough to get to Alton Towers (45 minutes) for a thrills-geared day.
