Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great basic site for almost the equivalent of a wild camp
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Easily accessible. Nice friendly warden. Loads of space - I was miles away from the nearest tent. Nice and quiet on the field with the pleasant sound of water flowing. Water bowser and toilets.
Disliked Fairly close to a road and there were some noisy vehicles from time to time.

Liked My very favourite Peak district campsite.
Great value for lone travellers, fresh drinking water and clean loo's.
There's nothing else you need for a great weekend away,!
Being in Bamford, there are so many hikes you can do from the campsite.
Lovely pub in the village and great breakfast rolls at Bamford bakery.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Nice grounds, beautiful views and quiet campsite.
Portaloos cleaned sufficiently, and fresh water available.
Playground for the kids just across the road.
Nice sounds of the river.
Disliked A fair bit of traffic noise. Not the fault of the campsite obviously, just situational.

A great experience for our first time off grid .
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked The camping field was level and it was nice not to have regimented pitching. The location is beautiful and still I’m easy reach of the village and its amenities. Although only portaloos they were kept clean and the water supply was always available. We had our own shower facility so the fact that there are none on site did not affect us.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked arrived on the thursday and had the whole field to ourselves for the first night which was a lovely experience! great views and location. bamford edge and stanage edge is a great walk very close by and rock climbing at the adventure hub was a fun cheap activity nearby.
Disliked rang both numbers on the gate multiple times when we first arrived and no one answered.

Great budget campsite , good enough facilities, noisy
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great basic campsite , it has toilets , water and bins. Plenty of space and a lovely river nearby
Disliked Rules state - it’s a quiet campsite - no fires no music etc , a good few did which I didn't see as a massive problem But i also had a large family pitch up near us who drunk and made a load of noise until early hours waking you up and they managed to fall out with each other and packed up at 6am shouting and swearing. I would definitely stay again and hope there’s less idiots next time.

Excellent location with friendly people, wifi and water, casual feel
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Excellent location right in the heart of Hope Valley. It was lovely to see Stanage Edge from the campsite. It was great that there was wifi and water (it said this wasn't available on the website so this was a great surprise.) Debbie was friendly when she came around to say hi to us all. It was clean and well maintained. Good amount of space. We had a barbecue and brought our dog - no issues. Had a lovely stay. Thank you!

Great site, friendly staff and brilliant location.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The site is in a brilliant location and has pubs and shops all within walking distance. The field is really level which makes getting a good spot super easy.
Disliked Whilst it is advertised and I was fully aware, the porta loo’s aren’t ideal. There was four or five I think but these got really unpleasant to use due to how many people had to use them and whilst they remained relatively clean there was no hiding the smell. If this site investigated in better facilities it would be hard to knock it

From the manager: It’s great you enjoyed your stay
We advertise ourselves as exactly what we are a 60 day pop up site with simple facilities
We are farmers that open up the field for the public to come and enjoy the beautiful area
Thank you for the feed back but it’s impossible for us to add better facilities we would need planning g permission from the local authorities which is impossible to get and the cost to put mains water I. Would be astronomical and something we can’t do
The field goes back to been agricultural land for the rest of the year
You paid £20 for a night for two adults two children which I would say is reasonable these days £ 5 par person
