What customers say
Crossgate Farm Campsite is praised for its stunning location, friendly staff, and plentiful space. Many appreciate the on-site cafe/bar and farm animals. While shower/toilet reviews are mixed (basic or insufficient when busy), the site's atmosphere, beautiful views, and walking trail proximity are consistently highlighted. Many visitors mention returning.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked The site was spacious, well located; not too far from Manchester/Glossop, friendly staff and more than adequate facilities.
The supplied fire pit made out of an old washing machine drum was a great additional at only £10 for the pit and wood
Being surrounded by the farm animals was a very pleasant bonus!

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Nice and easy to find. Liked that there was music and good food and drinks available. Friendly welcome.
Good location to head off for walks without going on main roads.
Disliked We were surprised that the view from the camping field is over houses and industrial buildings as you’re quite close to the town. Not really shown in the photos. That’s fine, but better to know what you’re going to get. I chose this as it looked to be more rural with views over water.
I think the advertised photos are from the car park field rather than the camping area, so be aware if considering.
It was a busy weekend with an event on which mean limited toilets as they are used by the bar/cafe visitors too. Didnt fancy going in in my pjs in the middle of a party 🤣. But maybe will be quieter other weekends.
I thought the price was quite high for a slanted pitch without electric

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Nice area, plenty of walks from the door. Facilities clean and tidy. Large field and you can pitch where you like.
The cafe bar was very handy for food and drinks.
Disliked It was a hot weekend with a full camp site and the cafe bar was very busy. None of this is a bad thing, but they could do with more toilets for the number of people.

Liked Location.
Disliked Only one male sit down toilet for a site that size seemed inadequate, especially when the barn was extremely busy. Also there were no washing up facilities.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful campsite, onsite bar, breakfast onsite was wonderful. Shower blocks were nice and cleaned regularly. The goats were super cute and loved feeding them! Was a brilliant camp overall and I will be returning!
Disliked Having to pay fo the shower was a bit much for 10 mins of hot water a £1 and it has a countdown timer so didn't feel too relaxed but I also totally get having to pay as it limits the hot water usage as its a popular campsite. Some toilets didn't have any toilet roll but I always bring my own anyways. The washup area could use some work but they are already sorting that soon.
