 Basic site, but everything we needed for a lovely night stay. Really quite place to camp. Large open space for the children to play - close to a river - but just some safe access points.
Friendly hosts - able to cancel up until arrival which was perfect for us.
Toilets - small but clean. No shower but I was made aware of this prior to booking.
Would stay again :)
Stunning location with miles and miles to explore on the door step - no need to use the car!
Site facilities - only scored 7/10 purely because they are limited.

Beautiful Campsite! Nice owner.
I camped next to the river and I found it very tranquil but others may not like the constant sounds of river. Lucky for them lots of space here to enjoy the scenery and the peace and quiet.
There is no phone signal here so no phones and no Internet. Ideal for a digital detox. My DAB radio also got no signal and the FM radio was a bit dodgy. So a pleasantly peaceful time.
The site doesn't have any showers. There are toilets and a tap so what more do you really need?
Locally there are a wealth of stunning walks. Thors cave is a must! For supplies Hartington has what you need. If you fancy a stroll to the pub it's a bit of a hike so take a torch but there are two Locally if you want. Toss a coin and decide left or right at the bridge. Personally I didn't visit either but I'm sure they are worth the effort. Literally next door is the mill with a cafe. I did note that they were selling sausage and bacon cobs for breakfast at the weekend when I visited.
If you want a quiet getaway and appreciate no frills camping or have your own personalised little luxuries this is definitely worth visiting. I shall visit again.

The campsite is in a lovely setting right by a shallow river, national trust cafe and has clean toilets. Cold water only, which was fine with us. But the noise from other camper’s ruined it for us, I have a 5 and 3 year old.
We were kept up both nights by other people playing music and shouting till gone 1am.
There were notices on facilities that there was a 10pm loud noise curfew but this was ignored and no one came to tell them to quieten down.
I wouldn’t camp here again only because of other campers and lack of rules that ruined our stay.
Owners are lovely. So friendly.

Great for a weekend camping trip but due to no washing facilities it’s not suitable for longer than a weekend.
Great location with no signal (which is good at times).

Lovely large camping field beside the river, with minimum organisation, and very reasonably priced.
The area was very rural and with no phone signal we felt very much away from it all. We enjoyed walking or simply soaking up our surroundings. There were some cheeky hens who kept us entertained, very bold, one even helped herself to our dinner cooking on the stove!
Toilets were clean and well stocked all the time and there was a washing up sink and drinking water tap. Some of the family groups seemed to think loud music was needed to enjoy the surroundings but they were not too near and did abide by the 10pm curfew.
For a short break with lovely walks on the doorstep I would definitely camp again. Could stay longer if there was a shower block but then the price would need to increase.

Excellent experience again. No phone signal which is great if you want to properly get away. Plenty of walking nearby suitable for all capabilities.
Dog friendly but please be aware that there are chickens and some ducks wandering around. No showers but for a short break this isn't a problem.
Excellent value at £6 per person and no extra for the dogs.

Fantastic site, 3 fields, basic toilets but very clean. Washing up sink, drinking water tap.
The lady who you go to pay at the farmhouse is really pleasant and helpful.
The atmosphere at the site is great, plenty of families there and we found all campers are quiet by 10pm as said.
For children, the site is brilliant with so much space for them to play and run around. Wetton mill cafe and tea room right on the doorstep as well as thors cave. The kids can feed the ducks or have a paddle.
Overall, for £6. 00 pppn with a tent, great value for money.
We will be back! Thank you.

Lovely campsite right next to the Manifold River.
There's two fields to camp in, the large field which is pure grass and has more than enough space to stretch out and for kids to play and there's a small field which is less busy but has the toilet block, wash sink and drinking water tap on it.
The toilets are very clean and looks to be cleaned regularly.
There's a small rope swing over the river which was fun for the kids (river is only a few inches deep at that part).
Site is a mile or so from Thor's cave which is a great tourist spot but is quite a trek up many stone steps.
A little tip for the site is to take flip flops or waterproof shoes as the grass can get a bit dewy in the morning and late evening which can soak your trainers when walking about.
Also, there is NO mobile signal at all within 4 or 5 miles of the site in most directions so bare this in mind if you like to update your social media whilst there.
To be honest, I loved not having any signal so I could put the phone away for a couple of days and enjoy the outdoors.
The scenery is one of the best features though, waking up to scenic views is really great.
Overall a very good experience and we expect to return again.

Basic site but with beautiful views and very clean facilities. From arrival to departure we had smiles on our faces. Booking in, the owner was lovely, very helpful and friendly.
The field itself was spacious, well kept and although the weather was horrendous the ground stayed firm around our pitch.
The toilet was immaculate, along with a pot wash sink which was also immaculately clean and there were ample bins available.
There is absolutely zero mobile signal within the valley which is lovely for a technology detox - so plan walks/trips beforehand as there's no opportunity to use GPS whilst you’re there.
The surrounding walks were breathtaking and accessible from the entrance to the farm, we took 3 dogs who enjoyed every single second of being there, very dog friendly site.
Although there were loose, friendly chickens roaming the field but that is the only thing being very picky, worth taking into consideration dog-wise.
We would definitely visit again. The price to stay was so cheap, it was hard to believe.
