  • Family-run campsite on a dairy farm in the Peak District National Park
  • Access to Lathkill Dale directly from the site
  • Woodfired pizzas and ice cream sold on site
When you’re keen to get out exploring the Derbyshire Dales, you can’t get much closer to them than Haddon Grove Farm Campsite. This welcoming, family-run caravan and camping site has direct access to spectacular Lathkill Dale from the pitches. Located on a dog-friendly working dairy farm – you are welcome to meet the cows, horses and chickens – with views to the hills and dales of the Peak District National Park, the site was established in the early 1950s and has gone from strength to strength ever since. There are separate fields for family use – with play areas and rope swings – and others for group bookings, ensuring nobody gets disturbed on site. Facilities run to a shower block and wash room, and as barbecues are allowed by the pitches in the camping fields (source any foodie bits in the pretty town of Bakewell, 10 minutes’ drive), firepits can be hired on site. Logs are sold from the small on-site shop, which – more importantly for the kids – also stocks tasty ice cream from a local farm. The site also sells woodfired pizzas, which should be handy if you fancy eating something more substantial.

What customers say

Large farm campsite with great Peak District views & Lathkill Dale access. Praised for spacious pitches, friendly owners, clean facilities (incl. new showers). Food vans & shop a hit. Some found facilities a walk, with occasional noise, but highly recommended for relaxed vibe & value.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The owners were really friendly and welcoming. The views on the farm are beautiful. Good location with lovely walks and pubs nearby.

Disliked The campsite was over-subscribed and there were issues with the facilities. Thursday the toilets and showers worked perfectly. But Friday-Sunday there were over 100 tents and campervans and the toilets and showers couldn't cope. The toilets either didn't flush, or took a long time to fill up, 7 female toilets was not enough. The showers had no pressure and ran down the pipes, the washing up taps also struggled to run.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Beautiful scenery, very large area brilliant walks, friendly staff. Good showers Very good checking times and brilliant check out time. Local town close by.

Disliked Narrow entrance past reception, hardstanding pitches quite close together, lack of bins around the site, rubbish ( empty pizza box and dirty underwear) left lying outside pizza hut for our complete stay. Can be quite a walk to the skip.

Local attractions

Scenic walks are to be had along the namesake river in Lathkill Dale, where you can stride out towards Lathkill Head Cave (an hour and 20 minutes’ walk) or marvel at the clear springs at The Blue Waters near the peaceful village of Over Haddon (35 minutes). For a slightly longer ramble, Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (90 minutes) reward with prehistoric monuments and ancient burial mounds. Combine your stroll around the verdant grounds at Chatsworth House with a guided tour of the mansion’s ornate rooms packed with priceless antiques, or take in the Elizabethan Walled Gardens at Haddon Hall (both 20 minutes’ drive) after you’ve admired the tapestry collection and medieval chapel. For an insight into Peak District heritage, visit the bijou Eyam Museum (also 20 minutes) in the famed ‘plague village’ to learn the story of the Bubonic Plague of 1346–52, or have a wander around the deserted remains of Magpie Mine (five minutes’ drive), which was the last working lead mine in Derbyshire and closed in 1958.
