  • Family-run campsite on a working farm near Clowne in Derbyshire
  • Half an hour’s drive to the Peak District; Chatsworth House 40 minutes
  • Fishing pond and farm shop; direct access to walks and bike rides
Ramblers, fishing folk, families and their dogs – all are welcome at Stanfree Road Farm’s almost-wild campsite near Clowne and Chesterfield in Derbyshire. Set in rolling fields on a small working farm, this family-run site is a handy base for pottering around the Peak District, while keen anglers will probably want to stay behind and cast a line or two on the pond. Please note: simple facilities out on the camping field stretch to a toilet and shower room; there’s no electricity and no drinkable running water so bring torches and a supply of water from home. What there is on site is a handy family-run farm shop, where you can pick up fresh eggs for a breakfast fry up, as well as home-reared, grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef for the evening barbecue (again, bring one from home). Vehicles are allowed on the meadow for pitching and packing up purposes only, leaving the campsite safe for kids (and dogs on leads) to play safely. Parking is provided adjacent to the field.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: This was an absolutely lovely stay. We loved the peace and how beautiful the scenery was. While we went as a couple, we will definitely be taking the children with us at some point! It's got a huge pond/mini lake, as well as some picnic benches scattered around! It has a very basic, one toilet, one shower facility, which is all you need. But the site is currently having a bigger shower block built as well! There is also a little farm shop which we didn't get time to go into, but it looks lovely! I fully recommend the site, and we will be going back. Thanks to the owners as well, who were lovely to speak to on the phone, when I let them know we would be getting there a bit later than planned. Very chilled out, and just said, get there when we get there! We only had a quick stay and didn't actually get to meet them in person, as we had to leave early. But big thankyou for letting us stay at your site!

Local attractions

For active family days out in the fresh air, Clowne Branchline Greenway (15 minutes by bike) promises gentle rides along a former railway line. It links into the multi-use Archaeological Way, which passes old collieries on its way to the gorge and museum at Creswell Crags (both half an hour). There are more adventures to be had in the Peak District National Park (half an hour’s drive), like hiking along the banks of the River Derwent or maybe testing yourselves on a section of the Pennine Way from Edale (an hour). If you’d like to tick a few stately piles off your to-see list, the spectacular Chatsworth House (40 minutes) is open for tours of its sumptuous apartments and scenic walks through landscaped grounds. Nearby is majestic Hardwick Hall (20 minutes), where you can admire Elizabethan architecture at its best, while at hillside Bolsover Castle (10 minutes) there is a circular rampart walk with views over the Vale of Scarsdale. Still not had your fill of history? Head to Chesterfield (20 minutes) to marvel at the twisted steeple on the Crooked Spire church.
