 Just spent 7 nights on this lovely site. It is well situated with great views, and some fantastic dog walks without having to get in the car.
The toilets and showers are spotlessly clean and lovely and warm. Although the site was busy, we never had to queue, and there was no charge.
There is plenty to see and do in the area, we hired bikes and 'did' the Monsal Trail, with our 2 little dogs in a kiddie trailer.
There are some lovely pubs serving good food nearby, we were given a very helpful info sheet upon arrival, and we can recommend the bacon butties from the mobile van which comes to the site at weekends.
We will be back!

Just returned from staying at Beech croft Farm and it was a really lovely site. The toilet and shower facilities were brand new, always clean and didn't have to queue, even though the site was very busy.
We could choose our own pitch so were went in the top tent field and the views were amazing, probably the best site we've stayed on for the scenery.
It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere, no rowdy groups and our dog was welcome too. We didn't even use £3 of electric over 5 days running a fridge /coolbox, fan heater, electric kettle etc so don't worry about that a an extra cost.
We walked quite a few miles and did find some of the footpaths were not well maintained, which was a shame, but the monsal trail, the limestone way, midshires way and penine way were very good and we walked to The Church Inn at Chelmorton for lunch which was very tasty. I recommend a visit to Bakewell for a bakewell pudding too!
Our explorer map from amazon didn't arrive on time but we managed to get one from the sites small shop.
One very small gripe is that it would have been nice if the grass was cut more often as it was quite long when we were there.

Just returned from another visit to this fab camp site. We loved this site before the alterations but now it is even better. The new facility block is five star with showers to die for - wish this was in my house!
The new extended camping field has been well thought out. In fact we loved our stay so much we immediately re-booked to stay again.
I can't speak highly enough either for the new hook ups for tents - you purchase cards to put onto a meter so you only pay for what you use. We only spent £1 for staying for four nights.
If anyone wants to visit the Peak District for fantastic walks direct from the site then look no further than Beech Croft.

Stayed at this site on our first trip out with our caravan after switching from our tents and we where looking for an alternative to our usual trips to Wales and what can I say but excellent!
Signs on the site says they have spent £400, 000 on improvements and boy does it show, toilets and showers would compete with 4/5 star hotels, although I hardly used them as ever hardstanding pitch has its own water supply plus tv point.
The site itself is immaculate owners friendly although I cant remember seeing them after I'd checked in which is good
Nice little shop plus good wifi coverage which is run independently from the owners, but is easy to get set up with a small charge,
Location is perfect just far enough away from buxton without being too far, just a 5minute drive, plus perfect for exploring the peak district which I must say is stunning
I recommend the walk up mam tor behind blue john mines, perfect size walk if you got young kids, castleton village and the winetts pass compete with snowdonia no question.
On the whole almost perfect so much so the moment I got home home I booked for the following week.

This lovely site offers you a perfect location to explore the Peak District. It's a working farm and in Springtime you can see the little lambs in the field.
When we arrived we received a warm welcome from the owner and they where absolutely helpful with getting you sorted on your pitch. What ever you need, they'll do their best to supply.
The pitches are spacious and tidy with electric hookup and your own water supply with drainaige for your grey water.
When you take the upperfield like we did, you have some nice views over the rolling hills and you can enjoy some stunning sunsets as well.
The facilities were spot on and just the way you expect them on a campsite. They are cleaned every day and they fulfill all your requirements.
The campsite does have a little shop, just in case you forgot something or you don't happen to have at all. We didn't have any steel pegs and the campshop had plenty of them to suply us.
If I have to make a critical note: The A6 is not only visible, but when the wind is in the wrong direction you can hear the A6 as well. Is that anoying, not really.
Would we ever come back to this site? YES!

Nice quiet little site toilet-shower block lovely and clean pot wash area nicely kept only problem we found is the walk down to the toilets.
Its very steep and if you have any problems with knee or ankle joints, as we have, the hill is a real killer. Sorry but wont be going back just for that reason, would have been a lot better made into steps.
There is a van comes through the week for breakfasts and again some afternoons for fish and chips. We got a breakfast one morning and the food was good and reasonable
The only downfall was the hill to amenities.

This is the third time I have visited the site having camped once and with a caravan twice. We had a fantastic weekend. The site is kept clean and in tip top condition and the new shower block is fantastic.
I trying to think of something negative to say and however I am struggling.
The only thing I guess would that the price at almost £20 a night for a touring van is quite high but then the site is very well looked after so on the whole worth it. We walked the monsal trail all the way to Bakewell which good my tip for this at high season is get on the trail early as it gets very busy.
The pub in Chelmorton we had a fantastic meal there very highly recommend this pub.

My Wife & I have been to this site & would highly recommend it, The caravan pitches are level & hard standing, (take hard pegs) with a fresh water tap & electric point at each pitch, the small shop is well stocked with the essentials, eg. bread, milk, butter, they also have a good selection of information leaflets of places to visit. They will order morning news papers I do believe.
On arrival we found our pitch, sited the caravan & put up our awning, then reported our pitch number & paid to the office/shop. The lady in the shop was very friendly & helpful (we found out later she was the owner). She told us about a local tourist attraction called the monsal trail, a disused railway line converted to a cycle/walking route 8 miles long, which we rode our push bikes along, lovely relaxing day riding through lovely scenery.
There is also wi-fi on site which you pay for.
The toilet blocks were cleaned everyday. The free showers are the best we've used, the only grumble is I am 6' 3' and the shower head is at eye level so to wash my hair I had to squat slightly, not really a problem though.
The site is very quite apart from the odd horse, sheep or tractor, but it is a working farm, so you expect some animal noise.
We would definitely stay again.
Easy to find, we followed our sat nav

New investment and a good understanding of campers and caravanners needs has pushed this site to the top of my list when visiting derbyshire.
It's new eco-credentials in the new toilet/washroom facilities work realy well (not just a bit of paper making claims about it's potential, reduced carbon footprint, etc. ) proper hot water all day everyday not just for the first half dozen in the shower like so many other sites.
Clean and tidy seem to be an understatement this sites facilities are pristine and I think most try to leave as they find comparing it to your own home is the nearest standard. (A full length mirror in the ladies would have been nice but not essential).
The camping pitches are on a slight slope but not a problem as there is so much room even when full (John and Julie don't seem to want the site over crowded and manage the site well to make it confortable for all ).
Electric hook up points in the tent area with tokens allow you to charge up your moble phone and run a laptop (wi-fi avalable on site) or for the softer campers to run fan heaters all day and night and you just pay for what you use, a great idea for modern campers. (saves me having to tow around a caravan for a few more years).
The monsal trail was a joy to discover on your door step and only a few minutes drive to numerous pubs, village's town's, walks and eating establishments, none disapointing
And setting a high standard for local amenities.
The site at this time is a little open but as newly planted trees and hedging matures this will dismiss the open field like feel of the tent area I think this site will deserve 11/10 in the coming years.

Spent the weekend at Beech Croft Farm Caravan site and we will be returning.
There is electric and water hook ups on each pitch (no drainage - take your waste hog).
Toilet / shower block is beautiful. Pot wash area looks great although we didn't use it.
There is a little shop stocked with basics. You can order newspapers for the next day. Wifi has good signal and can be purchased online while you are there - £2. 50 / day)
The site is well laid out. Pitch sizes are very good (They haven't tried to cram as many campers in as possible).
This site is in a fantastic position for walkers. Upon arrival you are given a sheet of paper listing walks / pubs / shops / take aways etc. On Friday night a mobile fish and chip shop came on site, it appeared again on Saturday / Sunday morning cooking bacon butties etc.
(I would give this site 8/10 as I have given our favourite sites a higher score and this site is not finished to the same level (i. E: no tarmacked road way through site / no edged pitches / no flower beds), but still a fantastic site. You will enjoy!

The site was easy to find. The owners were very helpful - they both work hard at their day jobs as well!
The facilities are as good as others have said.
It is great to be able to go and have a hot shower first thing in the morning. Then, after breakfast, to do a full washup in one of the four sinks.
Best day out - walk down to the cycle hire shop at the end of the Monsal Trail, cycle down to Bakewell, shopping/lunch/whatever, then cycle back up the trail and walk back up to the campsite.
But 'up' coming back is quite hard work. !

Just returned from a short visit(2 nights), and what can we say about this site???
FANTASTIC!
Warm welcome/relaxed atmosphere/clean modern facilities(the showers are to die for! I wanted to stay in there).
Beautiful area, Try The Church Inn for food. Lovely roast dinners and varied menu. Walk over the fields to get there took us 45 mins, but some could do it faster, I'm sure !
Also bus stop is right outside the site, so a trip to Bakewell was in order. Market day, and a lovely Italian meal. Trip took 15 mins each way.
Thank you Julie and John for making us so welcome. 10/10. And I hope we will be back.

Site now maturing after major improvements - and already looking nice. We parked our van in the top field - great views over rolling hillsides. All pitches have hard-standing - take your own tough pegs if you have an awning - also water and tv to each pitch - we need to get a hosepipe for direct line to our aquarolls. Plenty of manoeuvring space for big vans. Power also available to tent pitches on field above caravans.
Nice central green space to main caravan field - didn't feel overcrowded - and don't think it would even when site full.
Brand new facilities - best showers ever, friendly owners - rest of facilities have been well described in previous reviews. Essentially the quality of the big, heavily invested sites with neither the size nor the people!
Fabulous place for walking, no shortage of footpaths, and also a number of trails for cycling. Wild flowers were amazing when we visited, and the Wye valley so picturesque.
No facilities for kids on site other than a field but you don't come to an area like this if you are into candyfloss and amusement parks.
One of the best sites we have visited.

We have just returned from a lovely weekend at this site.
We had torrential rain Friday night yet at no point did the site turn into a bog. Tent's and caravans were having no problems getting on and off the site so the drainage was good.
We took advantage of the chip van that visits on Friday nights, the food was cooked to order, reasonably priced and delicious.
As other reviews have stated the tent field is on a slight slope but if you pick your spot that won't matter too much.
The facilities are superb, information on the toilet block message board states that the owners have spent £400, 000 recently improving the site and they have done an excellent job.
The site was pretty full but at no point was the toilets or showers dirty. The indoor pot washing area has plenty of hot water and was also very clean. The site is child friendly and my 7 year old met some lovely boys and girls from a neighbouring tent. If I was being ultra critical a play area for the kids would be a welcome addition but the children on the site this weekend didn't seem to miss one too much.
I would have no problem in recommending this site to anyone and we look forward to visiting it again in the near future.

A great weekend.
Located just outside Buxton within easy reach of some very nice walks. There is also a Morrisons supermarket about a 5 minute drive away.
Facilities are A+. Appear to be well cleaned and at no point looked dirty.
Has Washing facilities for clothes, tokens purchased at the reception/shop for £3, a token to use the dryer is £1, both worked very well.
Has a chip van on Friday evenings for tea and again for breakfasts on Sunday mornings. Well priced too.
All in all, a well managed site. We were in a tent and the camping field is lovely.
Plenty of room for the kids to run around and play games without annoying anyone.
The lower caravan section is too 'car parkey' for my liking although there is separate caravan field which is nice.
A basic site yet with excellent facilities and great views.
