Stayed at this campsite in mid August 2012 with a group of friends, all camping in tents.
Site is ideally situated, 300 metres from a local pub and less than a mile from a further 2 or 3 pubs in the centre of Hope. Casual 2 mile walk into Castleton if you want a little more.
Camp site has some fabulous views and is a great starting point for many walks.
Owners are very friendly, even though they must get mithered to death. They obviously work very hard, one moment holding sheep, next minute cooking breakfast, next breath issuing tokens for hairdryers. This should give you a hint that it is a working farm, so sheep racket at 0700 moving from one field to another was plentiful, but we were in the country.
Even though I have lived next to two railways, I did notice the train noise, they were freight trains and there was not a lot of protection between the camp site and the actual track, so noise was certainly audible but did form part of the whole countryside experience.
Breakfast in the Parlour Cafe was great value and plentiful. Cooked by the hard-working farmer's wife, but she always had a smile!
Toilet blocks were basic but adequate, again showers served their purpose and were generally clean on a busy weekend.
Camp site was cheap as chips, £5 per night per person! I felt guilty handing over so little money. They are so trusting too, took my word of how many had stayed, made the whole experience very heart-warming.
Camping itself was in a well drained field, mainly flat. Owners very laid-back, camped and parked where we wanted.
The camp site is quite basic which suits me fine, the toilets worked, the showers worked and there were washing up sinks. The owners were friendly and their little cafe did a good value breakfast.
We stayed 3 nights and the site was quiet as soon as it got dark except for the fact that most campers seemed to have a dog and these dogs did bark a bit at anyone passing after dark.
The site is very handy for the train station and also there is a pub which does food and is open quite late just down the lane.
This camp site is very cheaply priced. We paid £17. 50 for an electric hook up caravan pitch with 6 people and 2 dogs so really you can't complain. However, I am going to. When you turn right into the road where the campsite is, there in no sign indicating that the small road off it is an entrance to the site so if you pass it in a caravan, as we did. God help you! Go into the industrial park and turn round. If you can!
Also, in and out of the site is the same way, so when you leave, just remember no one can see coming you until it is very late!
On arrival we were told by a young boy to pitch up 'anywhere you like' so we found a reasonably level pitch and did just that, (many of the pitches were not level at all).
The train line is on the boundary of the campsite and the passenger and freight trains pass regularly and loudly right by your head until late at night and from very early in the morning! The road leading to the small industrial site is on the other side of you too! A lady told me at the weekend it is quite noisy with groups of people too, however we stayed mid week.
The toilets are very basic, the spiders webs and dead spiders hanging from the corrugated plastic roof could do with a clean up! There was no soap and nothing to dry your hands on either, the floor was muddy and dirty.
The shower block is better however, don't look up. Spiders nests, dead spiders and spiders prey abound. The water was hot but the shower control in the ladies, after pushing it in, lasted six seconds! (Apparently the mens was different lasting up to ten!)
The washing up facilities are outside, not undercover and not very clean. There is one tap for water, one area to dispose of grey water (a drain with a 6 inch up stand) and we could find nowhere to dispose of toilet waste!
On leaving the same boy grimly asked for the money and shut the door on us.
All in all this site is cheap but it isn't worth any more than £17:50, in fact I don't think it is worth that. I wouldn't go back. I know it is a working farm, but if you don't have time to look after your site, clean the toilets, be helpful, don't have a site.
Great campsite, I always use it for when I need a place to kip. Shower block and toilets are excellent, probably some of the best I've seen on a campsite so cheap.
I'm a climber, so I love to hit the boozer after a hard day and the campsite's locations couldn't be better. Less than a few minutes walk down the lane and you're at the Traveller's Rest. Pub has lovely food at reasonable prices.
Well situated for shops in Hope or Hathersage. Owner is always friendly and welcoming. Cafe is a godsend on a chilly morning with a cracking hangover. The breakfasts are to die for.
Campsite is never full of rowdy groups and if there is any noise, it is never after 10ish. Plenty of space to play games on the field and you can wave at the passing trains
The trains have never been an issue for me as they arent ever 5 mins (they are frequent though). Do not fear, they are only slow trains with about 2 or 3 carriages and are gone as quick as they arrive.
First time we've stayed here and we'll definitely be back. We turned up in our camper van and stopped at reception. We were allocated our pitch and then found that our battery was flat so couldn't leave reception. The owner couldn't have been more helpful. He pulled up his truck and jumped started us and then lent us his battery charger overnight.
Plenty of room on pitch, toilets adequate and showers brilliant and free! Cafe on site run by the family serving breakfasts - lovely cheaply priced food.
Just a 2 minute walk is the Travellers pub. Lovely food and dog friendly.
Within easy reach of miles of footpaths.
We don't have young kids but the site was very child friendly with lots of open space for the kids to play
This site is in a brilliant location for crossing the Peak District being quite near the M1 / Sheffield. Beware however that near the end of your journey if coming from Sheffield your satnav might take you along a road above Hope village which is signed as 'Unsuitable For Motors'. This is because it is a long and very narrow single track road with hardly any passing places. Better I think to set your satnav to take you to Hope Village itself then navigate a very short distance off the main road from there.
In contrast to some sites in the Peak District I liked the fact that all I had to do was just ring ahead and then turn up. No fussing about with giving details / times of arrival / paperwork etc as the owners live on the site. Also no barriers / codes / cards and all that stuff.
The site attracts lots of campers in tents and the toilet and shower facilities for the numbers on site could only be described as adequate, especially the male toilets which I feel leave much to be desired. In its favour however, staying here is cheap, it is within easy walking distance of a pub with more pubs, shops, fuel and cash machine facilities in the village and the on-site cafe do a very good breakfast.
You pays your money and you takes your choice I guess.
A well kept site which is in a lovely area for walking or cycling. Its close to Hope village and only a very short stroll away from the Travellers Rest pub, where a very decent meal can be had.
There is an on-site cafe which serves good breakfasts.
Its not the quietest site I've been to as there's the road at the front and the railway line at the back, nevertheless it is nice and the toilets/showers are adequate.
A lovely place to stay if you just want a couple of nights.
Just had 2 nights over the weekend here - and our first family camping experience.
Its a great site and we really enjoyed our weekend - nice and relaxed approach by the owners but some could find this an issue as there were lots of people arriving and pitching up til past midnight. When we arrived about 5. 30pm on Friday (its quite local for us) there were about 10 tents by Saturday morning that had increased to 50+ (though the vast majority were small 2 man type tents)and more arrived during Saturday - it is a big field and never felt crowded and we could play cricket while another group played football. We also underestimated the cold and the youngest really struggled and the heater wasn't up to the job so that was remedied on Saturday.
The showers are really good (4 showers and 4 sinks each for men and women) and the toilets are more than adequate though look a little dated alongside the showers (4 toilets and urinals for men). The washing up area is fine with plugs, drainage area either side of the sink and hot water but is not covered. Drinking water tap in between the 2 sinks.
Friday night was also busy for the trains and the road noise was louder than expected but this may have been more noticeable due to lack of sleep - certainly a lot quieter on Saturday night.
We had breakfast in the cafe on Saturday and that was good with a wide range of breakfasts available (full English, bacon/egg butties to porridge), a selection of local cakes available (didn't try but looked nice).
Overall an enjoyable first camping trip and we are now planning for the half term break and hope the weather is OK.
Awesome views of some of the best hills in the peaks from your tent doorway - hard to beat.
Small friendly site where owners were very helpful and friendly. Great facilities with good toilet and shower blocks. Showers were large and had loads of hot water - never had to queue.
The location in the Peak District is great the previously reported train noise did not materialise. The close proximity of a pub serving local produce - liquid and solid ! - was welcome after a long journey.
Pitches were good and well maintained. All in all a good little site which I would be happy to return to.
We stayed for two nights on this site and had a brilliant time. The previous reviews mentioned the noise from the trains but we didn't find it a problem.
The toilets were clean and the showers were excellent. Plenty of hot water. The Friday night was full but there was no problem getting a shower at 10. 30 on Saturday morning. Although we didn't eat in the cafe we had a look around and it looked and smelt brilliant. The owners were friendly and helpful as were all staff who we spoke to.
There was plenty of space between pitches even though it was full.
We were lucky to have good weather. The pub at the end of the lane served good food which was very convenient. It is a short walk into Hope where there are cafes, pubs and shops and is not far from Castleton.
We will certainly be going again as they are open more or less all year around.
Just got back from a walking weekend with some friends, on arrival to the site it looked rather clean with caravan and other touring units to the left in a field and tents in the second field which was rather large.
This site seemed rather popular as it was full at the time. The field was large and was able to accommodate around 30 - 35 tents.
This site has only the basic amenities which was good for myself and there was plenty of hot water, the toilet block was separate from the shower block and the washing up sinks were on the outside and at busy times you could have to queue up for, the mens toilets could do with a upgrade but the shower block seemed fairly new and up to date.
I can recommend this site as the views were just perfect, I will stay here again.
There is a local pub just a few minutes walk from the campsite which did rather good for value meals and you have castleton just a short drive away too with local shops.
Just spent a weekend at this campsite and it was great so laid back, showers are free push button type but nice and warm, loos are kept clean always loads of loo roll, there's a laundry.
There's no playground for kids but you can play games at the side of your van,
About 10 min drive to castleton, 5 min walk to hope
Would definitely go there again and its only £17. 50 a night with electric hook up, that's per van with as many people as you want
Trees at entrance could do with cutting back and better sign posted
We booked 3 pitches on a very busy weekend(because of the lovely weather forecast). We were the first to arrive, and our party was a mix of tents and a touring caravan. Albeit the owners seemed a bit disorganised at placing us, considering that we had booked well in advance, their willingness to help and get us sorted was faultless. They allowed us to pitch all together in the tent field with EHU. The views of the hills were breathtaking.
The toilet block was pretty basic but clean, considering the amount of footfall in and out over the weekend. The showers were more modern and worked on a push button similar to those at the swimming baths. The site is popular with schools and other youth groups undertaking their Duke of Edinburgh award, so as you might imagine, the facilities were extremely busy first thing - however, we were happy to hang on until the cleaner had been in, leaving lovely fresh loos and showers!
The washing up sinks, although not under cover had red hot water available all day.
There is no playground on the site, but The Pub just approximately 200 yards down the lane has a superb garden with beautiful wooden play area and fantastic views.
The reception to the site is a little farm house, with a cafe on the side of the house - which served cooked breakfasts and home-made cakes at excellent value, with tables outside, or inside the quaint cottage style seating area.
As mentioned above, although the site was busy with teenagers working for their awards, they were no trouble to us, and quiet when required - and in fact were happy to let our kids join in their games.
We consider this site to be excellent value for money, and a perfect place from which to explore the beautiful Hope Valley and surrounding areas.
We will definitely return again and would highly recommend this site.
The site was full all weekend but by no means overcrowded,
The facilities are adequate
You are in the heart of the peak district everything you may need is available in the surrounding villages, the local Indian take away even delivered to the site (great food as well)
The owners are great very laid back, serving breakfast from the cafe which was of very high standard.
Good pub at the bottom of the road a very short walk and a brilliant beer garden with play area for the kids.
Hardhurst farm camp site is a lovely family friendly site, we used one of the electric hook up pitches for a weekend in the caravan. The facilities were well kept and clean. There is a great on site cafe serving tasty food and a full english breakfast is amazing value and includes the works!
The local pub is just around the corner, as is the local train station and bus stops. The area is outstanding for walking and set in the Hope Valley not far from the village of Castleton. We have been back many a time in the past with our family, sometimes with tent and sometimes with caravan. Many of our friends now use the site since we recommended it to them. A great site, well situated and lovely family too.
