 A beautiful location, lovely atmosphere, fabulous walks and a tea room next to the campsite.
We loved it.
The children played in the river and we were able to relax.
We will be back soon.

This place is a hidden gem,
Fantastic location,
So much space to choose your own pitch,
Log fires, stream, hills, tranquil,
No showers but for a few days adult wipes will do.
Will definitely be going back.

Lovely peaceful site at the bottom of a valley.
Lots of space and friendly owner.
Toilets and washing up facilities only very good price and nice to only pay per person as a solo traveler 👍

A lovely cut grass field, edged by the river with views of the surrounding hills.
The toilet block was clean and simple and water and washing up sink was great.
We were visited by the ducks, enjoyed the swallow's swooping over the grass and the kids loved playing in and next to the river.
Perfect place to base for walks nearby, thors cave and Ecton etc.
We loved it. Thanks.

Loved the freedom to pitch where we liked, minimal noise and amazing location.
Kids enjoyed the rope swings.
Local cafe serves bacon and sausage cobs but only at wknds.
Stream is great for kids paddling.
Enjoyed walk to Thors Cave too.

Great site, no times to come or go, just turn up and pick a place to camp. Dogs allowed, and don't have to be on leads all the time, which is nice if your dog is well behaved.
Lovely shallow river for the kids to play in with rope swings around.
Toilets and water available, always cleaned regularly.
No rules really, just know camping etiquette, quiet from 10pm to 8. 30am which most people respected.
Walks all around and a lovely little tea shop round the corner.
Will definitely be back.

What an amazing setting - right down in the Manifold valley, we had a much needed night away relaxing down by the stream with our camping fire pit.
Despite there being a fair few other campers with tents and vans, we felt like we had our own space in nature.
The owners communicated well and we were made to feel very welcome.
Absolute bargain too at only £7/person/night.
We’ll definitely be back

Breath taking views with serene peace (no phone signal).
Nobody seemed to enforce the 10pm noise curfew, however, our children are 10, 7, and 5 and slept soundly.
They played and played and played in the stream and on the rope swings.
We will be booking again. Thank you.

A last minute venture out with my lad, mid week. Had the whole field to ourselves, magic!
Campsite was spotless after a very busy weekend.
Everytime I've come here, it's torrential rain everywhere else, but this valley has its own weather, never windy, sometimes a bit cloudy, but always pleasant. Sunny too!
Fab people who run the place.
A shower facility would be nice, but for what you pay, if it's only a couple of days, it's a great little hidden valley!

This has to be one of the best sites we have stayed on and just what we love.
Basic but clean toilets, outdoor pot washing area (we didn't use)
The freedom to pitch where you like.
The owners were so friendly and helpful.
We will definitely be returning.

No frills/basic camping for £7pn and perfect for a couple of days.
No showers. Couple of portable toilets one end and a work site toilet (2male, 1 female) the other. Can imagine this would be a pain if it was really busy but ok this time. Kept as clean as possible for what it is. Running water/ washing up sink and drinking water tap which is handy.
Lovely fields to camp, beautiful setting, reasonably flat and next to the river. Accept pretty much any vehicle/ camp style. Tents, car camping, campervans, motor homes. No electric hook up though!
Dogs accepted at no extra cost
Family friendly, although I did get annoyed with kids playing around my car/awning, so be warned if you are trying to have a peaceful time and you visit in holidays time.
It can get very busy at weekend with people walking to area/thors cave. Some lovely walks in the area but if you want peace and quiet, go mid week/non school holidays.
Wetton Mill cafe has lovely food and drinks, and the sausage cob (served weekends/bank holidays, served from 9:15) was lovely!
As a solo camper, I felt very safe here and although a little busy due to the weekend/time of year, I'd like to return when less busy. Definitely on my keeper list.

Peaceful and relaxed site.
Large, sheltered field, pitch where you want. Be warned no signal at all. Suited us.
Bike ride 5 Mile on the manifold way, with a walk up to thor's Cave.
Great one nighter. Free range friendless chickens. Roads to site very narrow.
Facilities clean and as promised. Suited our needs for the night.

Absolutely love this campsite! Very peaceful and lots to explore.
Thors cave is a must!
I'd recommend this site to everyone can't fault it!
The site manager is lovely and will go above and beyond if you have any problems.

Gorgeous site, very basic, (but I like it that way) friendly, helpful hosts, bags of space; - really - there are 2 HUGE fields mostly pretty level and flat and another smaller field. The grass is cut to decent level.
Loads of good walking and cycling straight from the site - Thors Cave is within 20(?) mins walk (but watch for queues in busy periods).
There's a refreshment shop by site entrance - very rewarding after a day out (closes around 5). The Manifold Valley railway walk is beautiful and undemanding going north and south.
The only downside in busy periods are the loos - a small, re-cycled workman's loo block with 1 ladies' and 2 men's loos (and basins with cold water), and 2 portaloos at the far end of the first main field. They're kept very clean - daily, thorough cleaning but you're advised to bring your own for bank holidays and busy times. There's also 1 outdoor washing-up sink (cold water) by the main loos.
You can paddle and splash in the river and there's a rope swing but no other child friendly activities. But plenty of space for cricket, football etc. The site was very quiet after 10 as requested on notices from the hosts. All this for £7pp. Pn (2023). I loved it!
