 I got a very warm welcome when I arrived. Lovely site on a steep hill. Flat terraced pitches.
Great views from the top of the site. Pitch sizes are good.
Very peaceful and rural with grasses between pitches allowed to longer giving it a natural feel.
A good choice of pubs within walking distance.
Close to the Monsal trail.
Small shop with honesty payments.
Good clean facilities.
The only down side was the 3pm check in time, would have liked to arrive and set up a bit earlier.

Excellent facilities very clean
On a slope. 1st day really hot and van next to us left aircon running allday although they were out. An irritating whine although they turned it off at night ?
Due to the slope it was about our head height. No views bottom of the field. LP

This is an amazing site small and quiet which is great and the staff/owners cannot do enough to help. As a disabled traveler it is important that disabled facilities are disabled friendly, you would be amazed how many aren’t. However these were superb, warm, easy to use, with a proper seat.
The views are amazing and the highland cattle very curious.
I would only mark it down a point on price which can be quite steep and access is quite tight which not a lot can be done about. The surrounding area and local village are Lovely.
There are two pubs in the village and a 24h dairy shop as well as a local village shop. Everyone I met was helpful even got to have a look at the local dairy farm.
I would highly recommend it and will definitely come back ******

Good campsite. Owners were helpful and seemed to manage teh site really well. Cost was reasonable for what we had and including electric hook up was worth it.
Location excellent- nice place in the countrysie with walking options straight from the site, and three pubs close by.
Facilities were great- well maintained and clean.
The site isnt massive and when full it feels like you are really close to everyone without much privacy (although the info and you tube video show what its like quite well in advance).
We were positioned next to bins and a small toilet near the top of the site. Not sure why but lots of campers walked up to use this little toilet rather than the main block at the bottom. It was mostly fine, but unpleasant getting woken to hear people using the toilet in the night.
There were also security cameras everywhere so you feel a bit watched over. It feels secure and some strict rules means you don't get any bad behaviour like some sites, though.
I'd recommend, but make sure you are clear it matches what you need.

Visited Dale Farm early June, chose to pay an extra £5 for an early check in between 1-3pm as travelling a long distance and didn’t want to waste the day. Normal check in is 3pm. Though we did feel this was just a money maker!
Arriving at the site you turn off left on Butts road (if coming from Monsal Head) onto Moor lane, quite narrow road, really only room for 1 vehicle then shortly after (100m or so) left again onto basically a farm lane, very tight and would be interesting with a caravan or very large motorhome. The site is about 50m on the right.
You drive up to a small entrance area past the 1st 3 pitches on you left and the toilet block and wardens vans sit just there.
Check in super easy, we requested a hill side pitch on the right side as these gave a better view of the hills, pitch 14.
The site sits on a hill, with a gravel incline with terraced pitches either side.
Pitch sizes were about 12m deep by around 8m wide, separated by some fencing and the banks of the terracing adorned with wild flowers.
I would say 90% of the pitches were all grass with a few larger touring pitches available lower down the slope and pitch’s 17-18 offer very large pitches where a couple of camping units could be placed for well behaved groups
EHU is 10am with water points situated around the site.
Toilet block is shared, as you enter, theirs a disabled shower/toilet on your right, you then enter an open space where pot washing sinks x4 sat and where you could purchase items such as logs eggs etc on a honesty box system.
Further in you have 6 enclosed shower/changing rooms (3 each side) and 8 toilets on the back wall with sinks opposite.
The block was modern and spotless clean and despite it being a shared area, privacy was always maintained. The showers operate on a push button basis offering about 15s of water, but at the time shower room 6 only gave 7s so hopefully this has been sorted. Plenty of hot water present once it comes through, so give it a chance.
Back outside the block there’s the usual elsan point and bins.
Up on the site opposite pitch 17 there are more bins and a small flushing toilet and sink for those not wanting to walk the hill.
Site was very busy with a constant flow of campers, but extremely quiet.
As it’s a working farm, various produce can be bought for bbqs, there's loads of walks from the site.
Bakewell with a Aldi is around 7min drive away, and the village of Great Longstone has a couple of pubs as does little Longstone.
Chesterfield is around 25m away
As the site sits on a hill, we did experience some wind but nothing what would worry you, though we did experience 35mph gusts one night, but the old tent stood its ground.
Location is perfect for touring the high peak area and would highly recommend the site.
Wardens were very helpful and the owners always around.

One of the best Campsites I have been to in 60 years, very friendly welcome.
All level pitches although you are on a steep slope, this gives excellent views of the surrounding area.
5 min walk from Great Longstone village with wonderful pubs and a cute little shop selling the essentials.
I will be going again before the year is out.

We arrived on Friday around 5. 00pm, thought that because we could not arrive until 3. 00pm that the pitch would be all mowed up, but NO hard standing cravel for the motorhome next to what looked like a meadow pitch, instead of taking a dog we should have taken a sheep to eat the grass.
EHU was only 10amp so couldn't use our microwave as it cut out the electrics, neither could we use the single ring on the cooker & also had problem with fridge constantly cutting out.
Toilet facilities were shared although clean, washing up facilities in same building but water barely warm.
Also the site says can't book in till 3. 00pm but Thursday morning around 6. 00am we were woken by a group of boys putting up a tent laughing & joking they had just arrived.
We decided to leave the same day instead of going home on the Friday.
Site in a good location, but we will not be returning.

Dale Farm RURAL campsite was an accurate description but a lovely place to stay.
We originally booked for 3 nights but then emailed soon after to change to 5 nights and received a prompt reply.
Generous sized pitches,
Facilities were kept spotlessly clean and every evening was quiet and peaceful.

A expensive site with odd charges for ‘early’ check in.
Nice shower block. Good views.
Had trouble getting our van level but managed it eventually. We don’t usually have a problem with this.
If you have asthma or breathing problems, don’t stay here; come 17:30 literally everyone lights up a bonfire, smoke everywhere.
Not sure if it’s good value for money.
