 What a great site, nothing to complain about at all. The wardens were really helpful, managed to accommodate our 6 man tent as well as my sisters 6 man tent putting us next to each other, both with electric hook up.
Lots of space for the kids to play football and the river running alongside the site was good fun for all including our dog. Facilities were good including free hot showers, which were clean.
Also two fridge freezers free to use, which were a god send for us as it was extremely warm and kept our milk and beer nicely chilled. To top it all off was the Manifold pub at the end of the drive way.
Would definitely recommend this campsite and will be visiting again soon.

What a fantastic site! We stayed here with family for a few nights and had a fantastic break. The site is very clean and well tended too and the wardens are extremely helpful, polite and happy to help in any way they can.
The facilities are always clean and well maintained and the site is the same. We have 2 young children and they loved playing with their cousins in the nearby River Manifold (which was welcome on a hot and sunny day).
There is plenty of space for the kids to play in as well and the fact we could have a fire in the evenings was an added bonus. The nearby village of Hulme End is very picturesque and has a local shop which is well stocked.
The Manifold Inn opposite the entrance to the site serves great food and was a welcome stop after a day visiting the local villages and visiting Thor's cave (which the kids loved). Overall a fantastic site and a fantastic place to visit, we will definitely be visiting again.
Highly recommended if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle and do some walking and relaxing.

Just stayed 3 nights at this campsite we were very dissapointed
There are not enough facilities ie showers toilets for the amount of people there the water to wash the pots was only just warm in one of the ladies toilet block there was no hot water, you had to carry waste water and toilet up steps up a hill to empty,
Plots were very close together, the kids on the next plot were playing football and it kept hitting our motorhome and nothing was said to them so very disappointing
No wifi no telephone signal I think we should have been made aware of this when we booked,
I don't think the campsite owners are campers as the site was just laid out wrong glad we only stayed 3 nights
Much better sites in area

Booked in for a few days with some friends. Received 2 phone calls from the owner threatening to cancel my booking, because we added a few more friends to our original list. Some of my friends arrived before myself and they were told not to walk on the grass.
They were also told that they had to park exactly in the middle of their pitches. The facilities were basic and could do with being renewed / upgraded. Nothing like a relaxing holiday. However the warden, Jeff, was excellent. He's a top man.
The scenery was lovely and there was plenty of room on the site for many more friends, should they wished to join us.
With the constant rain, my Conway Clipper stood up fantastically to the elements. Glad I fitted electric and a heater. Was a bit chilly.
I guess you could say, that's the Peak District box ticked.

Spent an idyllic five days at this site. Second visit and so worth it! Wardens were lovely and quick to respond to any queries. Showers were immaculate each time we used them. Saw plenty of little jobs being done to keep the site tidy and in good repair. The pub across the road served some stunning steaks and is well worth a visit although booking a table is recommended! A genuinely lovely campsite all though got a little crowded due to some very soggy pitches!

I've recently stayed here on two separate occasions and have pitched my tent on the top field. The views are amazing from here and if you don't mind a bit of a walk (slight hill) to the toilets/showers/washing up station then the panorama makes up for it. However, It was quite windy on our first stay (two nights) and there was a quite a bit of traffic noise.
The weather was amazing on our second stay (one night) and we had the sun long after the pitches at the bottom were in the shade. I love the large top field as it is less regimented (no EHU or water tap though) and you can pitch where you like. Being able to have camp fires is a real plus too.
The wardens are helpful and friendly and replied promptly to emails.
I would be hesitant to stay at the bottom pitches by the driveway as the pitches seem quite close together and there is a big skip at the entrance.
The facilities, although clean, are a little basic and the toilet/shower block could do with an upgrade. I don't expect a 5* bathroom but there aren't enough hooks or shelves to comfortably keep things dry and the space is cramped. Thought it was really good that the showers are free and there are electric points if you want to use a hairdryer.
The Manifold Inn opposite is very handy. It was so nice after pitching a tent quite late on a Friday evening to be able to skip over the road and have a great meal (they allow dogs in the conservatory if you are eating).
As much as I love the site I would be reluctant to stay again just because of the traffic noise but I wonder if it is worse in the top field. Also the site is in the middle of agricultural land and there are a lot of tractors/farm vehicles coming and going which were noisy early in the morning.

Stayed on the meadow field August bank holiday weekend. Lovely site, friendly and welcoming wardens and we really appreciated the fact they don't take the opportunity to cram as many people in as they could on bank holidays (there was certainly the demand).
There was plenty of room in the meadow field and it was really refreshing to have the freedom to pitch where we wanted and for it not to be overcrowded. It was also nice and peaceful, no loud campers and it's great to be able to have a camp fire.
The main site (where the facilities are) has marked pitches which looked rather small and appeared cramped - I wouldn't want to stay there, despite the ease of access to the facilities.
Minor inconvenience was that the facilities were a 5 minute walk away from the meadow field (but we were aware of that in advance).
The only slightly concerning discovery I made on a 2am trip to the facilities was that they locked the gates to the field (with a bike lock) at night. We were locked in. I had to climb over the gate (fine for me as I'm fit an able) but I would be concerned in the event of an emergency, if someone needed to leave suddenly, or an ambulance needed access.
Otherwise, no complaints and I would return.

There are many things to like about this site; the friendly wardens, the superb location, the overall tidiness and The Manifold Inn at the end of the driveway.
We were the only touring van staying amongst 40 or so tents and that's a first for us ! I think the site is definitely more suited to camping than caravanning. My advice is that you ring prior to find out your pitch number, because once past it, turning space is very limited. Thank you to the warden who helped us out doing this !.
Alot of the pitches, particularly those backing onto the river are quite small and really this would be my only gripe.
Showers and toilets are fine if a little dated (new shower though block which is good).
Its a superb site for families with children, the river is very shallow ideal for kids to mess about in.
The Manifold Inn offers excellent real ale and good food. Lovely area for walking and site seeing. 10/10 for campers 8/10 for caravanners.

I stayed here with 4 adults and 2 children for 4 nights in the meadow field. On arrival, we parked in the 'booking in' bay before being told where to pitch. We received a warm welcome by the wardens.
There are two main areas to this campsite which are separated by a busy road so that is worth bearing in mind if you have small children. The tents with EHU are positioned next to the reception on this side of the site. In my opinion, they are too close to each other but they are positioned right next to the stream which makes it a nice setting otherwise.
All facilities were also located on this side of the here (e. G. Fridge/ freezer, toilets and showers). The showers were hot, clean and free. The only facilities in the meadow field were one water tap and bins. This did made it a bit awkward when it came to the loos as the children in our party were only 2 and 5 years old. However, the stream was lovely and the kids enjoyed playing in the large open field, as well as the toasted marshmallows on our campfire (fires permitted as long as they are off the ground).
We had lunch in the pub which was tasty if a bit pricey and we also used the very quaint Hulme End shop (separate business) whose owners were very friendly.
We enjoyed a walk along the Manifold Way and this site is also handy for visits to Ashbourne and Dove Dale.
A nice campsite but I am not sure I would return as I found the prices quite steep for the facilities available to campers in the meadow field. £18 per night for 2 adults in a tent with a car, £5 extra for children aged 5+.

We've just returned from our second visit to Bank House Farm. How lovely to see that, what was a lovely spot 5 years ago has only improved with time.
We were booked into the Meadow Field (the smaller of the two fields). It is over the road from the main site which means a short walk along the road to the toilets and other facilities. If you have young children it does mean you have to watch them on the road.
Facilities themselves were clean. Can't comment on the showers as we didn't use them. Looked reasonable though and were free. The wash basin area in the ladies was a bit cramped, but well kept.
Two good sized washing up stations and a couple of fridge freezers. The site also allows fires and provides fire bowls and kindling at a small cost. I noticed the staff also take the time to check on fire safety around the site.
The highlights for us:
The river. In the meadow field, the river was shallow enough that all the kids on the site could play safely (and get very wet). If you camp in the right spot, you can supervise them. Our 8 year old had a great time making new friends.
The pub: Don't be put off by the closeness of the pub to the site. It was a lovely place. Not rowdy. Food was outstanding (Manifold Inn). Lovely field at the front where kids played. Just be warned of the temptation to stop off on the way back from the loos.
The shop: Well stocked, open early and no more than a five minute walk from the main site. Just a short hop over the wall from the meadow field.
The Manifold Way:
Starts in Hulme End. About 200 yards from the site. Amazing tea shop at the start of the route (biggest selection of home baked cakes I've ever seen). Beautiful valley with a family friendly cycle route and a number of circular walks along it. Don't miss Thor's Cave.

What a super site!
Wayne, Alexa (and the princess with chicken pox!) made us very welcome!
We were concerned about pitching on very wet ground so Wayne let us use the wardens hard standing. He was constantly checking that everything was neat and tidy. People have commented that there is only a small shower/ toilet block but a new one has been constructed. These were spotlessly clean, the showers were hot and no annoying push buttons!
The site is in a beautiful spot, right next to the Manifold river, there is a small shop in the village 5 minutes walk away and the Manifold Inn is just across the road from the site. We ate there a few times and the welcome was friendly and the food very good!
There is a huge field at the back of the site where you can exercise your dog, Wayne has even mown a path round it!
Nearby there are wonderful walks, the Manifold trail starts in the village, Hartington is 2 miles away where you can walk in Wolfcotedale - absolutely beautiful! Dovedale and Milldale are a short drive or you could walk there.
We had a lovely relaxing 6 nights here, were very lucky with the weather and will probably return soon!

Fab little gem of a camp site. We pitched in the meadow field and found a gorgeous spot. Nice and level but very sheltered from the wind. Only facilities in the field are bins and a water tap! We used a chemical loo for our stay and we were fine course not everyone has one! Site looks spotless and very well maintained. Owner was brill, gave us lots of local information and a choice of which field to pitch in. We will be returning next year to continue exploring the area. You do get some traffic noise and some airplanes going over head but it isn't often. All campers were quiet by 10 pm, and it was fab to lie in bed and listen to the river babbling away! Perfect site for those of us who wish to relax and watch the world go by, or have a wander round some fabulous countryside.

This is a lovely campsite in a beautiful setting. Our pitch was flat and the only downside was that we were pitched next to the footpath up to the facilities (this is a steep slope by the way). This was fine except for the people that don't understand that a tent in darkness means people are asleep or trying to get to sleep inside. Where is your camping etiquette people!?
The site asks for no noise after 10. 30pm which suits us perfectly, unfortunately some people didn't respect this and this meant I couldn't sleep until 1am the first night due to noisy campers. The site owner was very emphatic and thankfully no action was necessary as the people left that day. After that we had a very enjoyable stay.
The kids (10 and 12)loved walking through the river (crocs or wellies recommended) and feeding the ducks. A huge positive for us was the fact we could have campfires. We enjoyed listening to the sounds of cows and sheep.
Facilities are basic but fine for a short stay and spotlessly clean even in wet weather. The owner and wardens work extremely hard to maintain this. Free fridge and freezer provided which is essential.
Another huge plus is that the campsite is just around the corner from the start of Manifold Way. We cycled to the end and back (18 miles) and climbed the hill to see Thors Cave. This is highly recommended (wear shoes with good grip).
There is an amazing view from the hill at the top of the campsite.
We visited all the places in the area that we wanted to so I don't know if we will return in the near future but if we do we will certainly consider returning here.

Lovely farm campsite. Very welcoming, owner and the wardens.
Booked 2 nights last minute. Was given a spot on the top field overlooking the tighter, muddy EHU spots next to the river. (Kids paddled in this, ducks became our best friends, especially when food was around. ) Beautiful views, pitch next to a noisy road during daylight hours, but only 1 other there and a good deal away from our pitch.
Facilities were as others say sparse, 4 free showers (2 male/2 female) with an on/off button, (a luxury on campsites) although early use proved no problem with queuing, sinks were very tight to use other than washing hands. They were cleaned very regularly and looked to be fairly new, compared to the original toilet in the farm building and the extra ladies portacabin.
Two washing up sinks, so there were queues for this, especially as one was open to the elements! The owner sold wood and burners, (gas as well) although we didn't use them, quite a few others did.
The pub across the road was very convenient, food was good and drinks even better when you can walk back to your tent. Hartington village is beautiful and the village shop sold some great local food, also had a few pubs too.
A short drive to Dovedale and very close to the Tissington trail.

We visited on the spur of the moment after reading the mixed reviews here. On arriving I noticed how close together the pitches were by the river and was a bit worried that would be squeezed in but we were told to pitch in the meadow field which had bags of room and nice flat areas and we could put the tent up where we liked. The only problem was the walk along the road to go back to the main site for the loos and washing. I did not like the hike too much as I have trouble with slopes, the washing facilities seemed basic but adequate but I can imagine some large queues there in the morning. The position of the site next to a pub is a bonus as they do great food and beers. We only stayed the one night and I think that is all we could have put up with being in the meadow field without any facilities apart from a water tap.
