  • Spacious family-friendly tents-only site in the Derbyshire countryside
  • Chatsworth Estate, Bakewell and Peak District within a half-hour drive
  • Firewood available on site; shops and pubs within walking distance
It’s all about open air and a handy location at this Derbyshire site, a tents-only spot in gorgeous countryside… Yew Tree Farm is well placed for peaceful stays, within walking distance of pubs, small supermarkets and takeaways, and less than 10 minutes’ drive from the town of Alfreton. The family-friendly site is well set-up for fuss-free stays: it’s on a sizeable field and only a small number of guests are allowed at any one time, so there’s no need to worry about fighting the neighbours for that extra scrap of grass, plus with simple facilities limited to a covered washing-up area and a toilet block with solar-heated showers, there’s nothing too complex to navigate round here (thought it’s a good idea to bring a torch along, as the unlit site can be tricky after dark). That open space lends itself well to fresh-air frolics, with loads of room for kids and dogs to run about and for supervising grownups to light up barbecues and campfires – no need to forage too far for firewood either, as there are packs for sale on site (please note that the site isn't always manned though, so if you know you'll want a bag of wood please order one in advance). If all that gadding about isn’t enough activity for kids (or grownups), Peak District National Park is within 15 minutes’ drive – make immediate tracks for walks and hikes, bike rides, climbs and even days of leisure zooming about in a 1929 Ford Model A Phaeton.

Luke W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Patch was tidy and well maintained. Toilet and shower facilities were private, clean and in working order, as was the outside pot washing area. Owners were friendly and they have lots of lovely dogs and cats. Will definitely be back one day.

Disliked: You’re not allowed to drive onto the patch itself, but have to carry your items from the car park bit. Not an issue for me, as it stops the patch getting messed up, but I’m sure some might grumble. There is a wheel barrow you can use to help carry your stuff back and forth.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Relaxed atmosphere, plenty of space for pitches, quiet location but close enough to local shops to walk if you want, and larger town to drive to. Good toilets and shower, always clean. Footpath running across if you want to explore the area. We loved it and will definitely be back.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Arrived home today from a four night stay. The site was lovely and quiet and liked we could pitch where we liked. The shower was nice and hot and the toilet block was clean loved the little touch of superwoman on the doors, think the men's had batman. Very friendly owners. Loved we could have a campfire which was one of the main reasons for going. Already planning our trip back.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Clean toilet and shower bleach. Also liked that there was a cleaning station for cooking equipment. I was also confident in the safety of the vehicle I arrived in as there was parking available. It was also a good location because it was away from roads and people but wasn’t a pain to find.

So peaceful and tranquil. Very much enjoyed watching the owls fly around…

Local attractions

This is the very edge of Austen country: the Peak District National Park was a major inspiration for Pride and Prejudice, so take a deep dive into that classic era of British history with stops at stunning Chatsworth (used as Darcy’s house in the 2005 movie), Tissington, Hardwick, Sudbury and Haddon. All are within 40 minutes’ drive and highly recommended for a dose of grandeur. Keep one toe in the past within 15 minutes of the site by slowing everything down for steam engine travels on Midland Railway, or choo-chooing along to Crich Tramway Village for a ride on a vintage tram. Prefer to escape days of yore? Get out in the fresh air at Carsington Water half an hour away for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing and powerboating or to chance beginner’s luck with a rod and reel. If that’s not something that gets the family trotting happily along, opt for Northfield Farm instead, where everyone can clamber into saddles for horse riding and pony treks. Nearby Matlock (15 minutes) is a must visit, particularly with kids in tow… take the cable car to the Heights of Abraham, spend a day at Gulliver’s Kingdom and swim over to the aquarium. If that’s all too sedate, head an hour away to the hair-raising rides of Alton Towers.
