 Excellently situated site with great views and friendly owners. We stayed in tents for 3 nights at the beginning of April.
Contacted the owners a couple of months before the trip and they were really quick to respond and extremely helpful. Field was very muddy but as long as you prepare (and have a 4x4 or can park on the gravel path that bisects the field) you’ll be fine.
There were 2 toilets on the field, a shower available further down the lane near the farm, fresh eggs and firewood were also available if you needed them.
They provide fire pits too (which you could put a grill grate over the top of to cook with).
The field we stayed on was next to the donkey paddock with 4 very friendly residents, which made the trip even better, despite their shouting going off in the early morning.
We wanted to visit Thor’s cave and this site was really close to the village of Grindon which made it easy. Also not too far from Leek and other villages if you want to visit.
Will definitely be visiting again, if just to see the donkeys.

Amazing campsite! Clean facilities, run by lovely people who are there to help if you need them.
Really good for a stay, and local to Alton towers and many more walking routes.
Stayed here to visit Luds Church the next day.
Brought the dog, and they had fires available free to use, were off ground and really easy!
Amazing time!

Lovely site. Great views.
The couple who run the site on their working farm are lovely and very helpful.
We throughly enjoyed our stay with pur nights around a fire pit.

Great setting - picturesque, a working farm with lots of animals and great walks from the site.
Gill was friendly and helpful. Fire pits and firewood on site were a bonus.
The facilities were basic but everything you need and kept clean - there’s a freezer for ice blocks, indoor washing up, and a hot shower. It’s a fair walk downhill to the main facilities - fine for us but could be an issue for anyone with mobility issues.
Overall great value for money.

The location and scenery is beautiful with a only a short walk away from the nearest town.
The facilities are amazing, although the walk to the farm can be awkward sometimes.
The heads of the site are incredibly friendly and very helpful.
Me and my partner were incredibly satisfied with our stay and the value for money is amazing.
I couldn't think of a fault during our stay.

Excellent little site.
Farm was so welcoming and our daughter loved going around to see the animals.
Showers and toilets a very short walk down the hill.
Will definitely be back.

Great campsite. Very relaxed.
Lovely camp fire provided and stunning view in the morning.
You can buy logs on site.
One shower so if busier May have been an issue.
Otherwise friendly and welcoming. Definitely rebooking:)

It's a working farm so our 3 kids loved exploring to see the animals and equipment. The owners were more than happy to talk end explain everything about farm life.
There are plenty of picnic benches and fire barrels to use. There are toilets in the main field too.
The showers, fridge and washing is a 2 min walk down the track. EVERYTHING is clean and well maintained. It has a rustic charm.
A word of advice. It's not the flattest camp site so pick your spot carefully.
Probably not a concern for small tents, caravans or campers.

We stayed here for the early May Bank Holiday 2022 as a group of 5 tents and 2 camper-vans / motor-homes.
The field isn't flat and is a sloping field but it was simple enough to find a flattish area to pitch.
I was surprised how quiet the site was, with only two other tents in the field outside of our group.
The site has two toilets and a water tap in the camping field although one toilet was not working during the visit. The toilets were well stocked with roll, soap and bleach.
There is also a shower, toilet and pot washing facilities a little walk up the path to the owners farm house.
The staff/team were tremendous and very helpful.
Fire pits are dotted around the filed and fire wood is available at the farm house to buy.
The site is about 15 minutes outside of Leek so lots of shops aren't that far away.
There is also a wild life park local for the kids but it is not a cheap day out.
Overall a great but basic site, we will definitely be returning to this site.

Lovely campsite, had the pleasure of being the only ones for a while until another couple joined.
Be careful if it has been raining and the ground is wet as it is just a field, slightly sloped and we got stuck.
We rang the owners and they very kindly sent someone to come and get us out after us trying for a while ourselves. They were lovely tho,
I would deffo go back if passing through again.
Has basic toilets on the field, apparently there is showers and more toilets in a barn just off the campsite but we didn't look for them as wasn't needed.

What a wonderful little campsite that we had completely to ourselves,
Showers, washing facilities, and toilet, although basic, they were more than adequate…
Extremely friends owners, that have fire pits on request and pulled us out of the field when we were stuck.
30 minutes walk from Butterton…
We would definitely return to this campsite and to the beautiful setting of the Peak District

Trust the satnav, it will take you there!
I really liked this campsite, Gill was incredibly friendly and accommodating.
I wasn't sure if an EHU would be needed, when it wasn't we were lucky enough to get the whole camping area to ourselves.
There were picnic tables and Gill and her husband even offered a fire barrel and firewood, which was the perfect end to the evening.
The shower was really clean and well kept and fantastically hot. There were fridge facilities too, although we didn't use them.
Would happily stay again and recommend to others. Exactly what I was looking for.

I've stayed at this campsite a few times. The views from the fields are breath-taking. The main field is not too large so always feels comfortable and friendly.
The owners too are very friendly and helpful. There are free fire pits to use within the field. I love the location, which offers such beautiful and varied places to explore.
The facilities provide everything you need but are not the highest standard. However, the charm and location of the camp site more than compensate.
Definitely recommend it.

We had a really enjoyable stay at this lovely little farm. The owners were so welcoming and accommodating. We forgot teabags and they came to the rescue!
Not only did we have the most amazing view welcoming us, the farm also had some little calves that my children were able to feed which they loved!
Such a lovely, friendly hardworking couple that own the farm and I would love to return in the future.
We visited Tittesworth Reservoir, Hen cloud and Thor’s Cave on our visit which are all around a 20 minute drive from the campsite.
