 We have just returned from 6 nights on the site. At the point of booking we had a few issues around our dates and had to amend a couple of times and Sue the owner was very accommodating and couldn't do enough to help us.
Once we arrived the wardens showed us to our pitch, we had to spend a little time getting the levels right as it is on a slight incline, but once levelled no problems! The wardens pointed out to us the grass hadn't been cut but this was not a problem to us as not that long!
The toilet block is beautiful and kept immaculately clean at all times of day. Ample showers/toilets for the size of the site.
Lovely area for walking, and the views very nice too.
I wouldn't recommend the Manifold Inn as others have, as the beer was warm and there were very noisy children when we visited unfortunately. Would definitely recommend the half hour walk though to the Staffordshire Knot though!
The only downside to the site is the fact they allow fire pits and these are allowed at your pitch and unfortunately we were smoked out two nights running, one night the neighbours burning a pit from 4. 30pm until after 10pm. We did pick this up with the site on the last night as couldn't have coped with a third night and whether they had a gentle word or not I am not sure but there wasn't a fire!
I have since contacted Sue the owner and she has come back to me immediately with a response to advise they are going to amend the booking form to make users aware and that they should use the pits with consideration for neighbours and they have reconsidered and now are only allowing fire pits on the field at the main entrance
Would I return?? Without a doubt!
Fantastic owner of a site to respond and address the issue so quickly.

Returned home from visiting upper hurst farm for the first time, what a find upper hurst is, absolutely fab, really nice quiet site in a stunning area
Access too site is good wardens ready too great us when we arrived and show us too our pitch, the pitches are arranged around the perimeter with a few tent pitches in the middle all pitches around the perimeter are hardstanding with a grey waste disposal at rear of pitch with a fresh water tap also there, and 16 amp hook up too boot
The caravan may need a small amount of levelling side too side but nothing too great
As said before the toilet block is second too none under floor heating lovely warm free showers superb !
As having not got children with us I cant comment too much about child facilities but there is no play ground but there is a field !
Dog walk is ace big field too walk round with bins on route
If you like star gazing then this is the place too be there's hardly no light intrusion so the night sky looks brilliant
Sue the owner is very approachable and will always try too help in any way too make stay even better the wardens are out of the same mould could not do more too make stay perfect
All in all I would recommend very much I will certainly return

Quick early year weekend visit to learn about our outfit.
Lovely site. Beautiful views over the surrounding hills - easy access. Shame about the overcast/rain.
Pitches seemed a bit tight at first. But we don't have a lot of experience to compare. We need to experience these sites when they are full and buzzing!
Super Serviced pitches so all inclusive - good elec hook up. Facilities compound in middle of the square site. Very good. Toilets etc only 50 meters at worst for anyone. Excellent facilities.
Reception was belated and not directed at first due to owner being absent (cannot be there 24 hrs) but very soon rectified as the owner, Sue, came around as we were setting up. Sue was very informative and warm. It appears that they are 'inter-regnum' with Wardens at the moment and that was perhaps noticeable. Other reviews say the parting Wardens were exceptional. The new ones will hopefully be as good.
TV reception ok. Wi-Fi only by toilet block.
Good location for surrounding countryside. Hartington is delightful as are many similar nearby market towns.
Very good (slightly pricey) Sunday Lunch in wonderfully set The George at Alstonfield - book in advance.
Would we go back. Definitely.
Incidentally, very good website.

A lovely site in a great location, with toilets and showers that are nicer than many hotels and always immaculately clean, though we never saw anyone cleaning them. The owner organised a Halloween party and decorated the barn and made punch, the children really enjoyed dressing up for it. There are miniature horses and alpaca in fields around the pitches.
You can hire a fire basket and get fire wood and there is Calor gas available to buy.
In October it is was a bit wet and muddy, it is drier up the hill towards the shower block.

Had a lovely stay here this weekend, the toilet facilities are really clean and the showers are good. The people who look after the site are very friendly and helpful.
The views are lovely to, it is a nice quiet campsite even though it was full.
We walked the the manifold inn pub about a mile away which was nice and friendly, we would visit this campsite again its very nice.

Absolutely loved this place. Fantastic location, clean, well run, and friendly. There's a large field with mown paths for walking the dogs, and also a mown pitch where the children can play. The shower and toilet block is spotless. This was my first visit to the peak district, and the first family holiday together that we've had for 15 years. A huge thank you for making it a great time to remember. Would I go back? Absolutely!

Very friendly site with hard standings and grass pitches on a hill with great views and a large, spotlessly clean toilet block. We visited on a very busy weekend when all the hard standings were full and most of the area reserved for tents was also full.
The facilities were more than adequate to cope with a full site. There was a great atmosphere on the site with young families and children. It was fun but not noisy.
We booked at the last minute but Sue bent over backwards to help and found us space for 3 nights which, although it involved changing pitch after the fist night, was no problem. They took the trouble to see you to check everything was OK.
The site is well located for cycling the Manifold Vally and not too far from the Tissington Trail and the High Peak Trail. The latter is absolutely wonderful for cycling and walking with stunning views.
It is a popular site for good reason

Visited August 2015. Received a warm welcome from Yvonne and asked if we needed any help setting up. Yvonne and Paul maintain the site beautifully, all areas including showers/loos and pot wash were immaculate even at weekends in a very busy period. The site itself was very well situated, not too far from any one place; Bakewell, Buxton, Ashbourne, Matlock are all within 30-45 mins drive, and Hartington itself is a lovely little village. There is a field for games (multiple families playing rounders one evening, great fun), a dog walk area and a take away pizza van calls occasionally (pizzas were delicious) and it's possible to hire fire buckets which are very sociable!. Have rated 8/10 for site facilities as these were a bit limited; phone and internet signal is poor, being in the hills, and there is no shop, so it's off to the village (2 miles) if you need anything. Nearest pub/restaurant is 20 min walk across field or slightly longer by road (or a few mins drive). It's also a little expensive but you get what you pay for in my view. Overall though, for peace and quiet and a clean, well-maintained site, you couldn't top it and we would definitely book it again if we were in the area.

What a wonderful campsite! Just had spent 5 days here as a family group of 6 in two tents. The campsite has amazing views of the Derbyshire countryside and is ideally located for some beautiful walks- Wetton dale, Longnor, Hartington. The nearest pub, Manifold Inn in Hulme End was 15 mins walk down the lanes, or 10 mins across the fields- very handy!
The wardens Yvonne and Paul, made us very welcome, and worked tirelessly to keep the site well-maintained and looking good. The toilet/shower facilities were really clean and tidy, lots of hot water and free showers, and despite being august, rarely had to wait. There was a separate playing field which was great for younger kids, needing to let off steam, which was was just aside from the main camping area. There was also laundry facilities which were very helpful as included washer and a drier. Also handy freezer for iceblocks, all in the washing room.
This is the first campsite we honestly feel we would love to return to, and our stay was made all the more enjoyable by the staff. Thankyou to Yvonne and Paul! Hope to see you again next year!

Visited for a weekend and the staff were brilliant, very welcoming with a Lady warden on site who is very friendly and helpful.
The location is great with superb views of the surrounding countryside.
The pitches are well laid out with water and waste on the pitch.
Would definitely recommend this site, brilliant location for walking or visiting Hartington.

This campsite is an absolute gem. The toilet/shower/dishwashing facilities are the best we have ever had. Yvonne gets to know everyone on site without being intrusive. She ensures the site rules are maintained firmly and fairly, for the benefit of everyone, and always with a big smile. The site is excellent for children and people wanting to enjoy the peace and tranquility. We were a party of 8, 4 adults and 4 children with an age range of 2 to 13. Everyone wants to return. The playing field is just off the main camping area where the horses keep a watchful eye from a distance. Drums are provided to light campfires, and they are terrific (thanks Yvonne!). The picturesque village of Hartington is a reasonable walk away, and about 5 minutes in a car. The village store is delightful, and stocks all the essentials. Buxton, Bakewell and Matlock are all easily accessible for days out.

We were lucky to get a two night booking at short notice in the peak season. The site is in a lovely part of the Peak District, just over the Derbyshire border into Staffordshire: a location with great walks, good pubs and lots of wildlife. The site is new, having opened in 2013 and the thought that has gone into the design is obvious. The layout of the site gives great views, and the facilities block is of a super standard, with free showers, underfloor heating and a dedicated disabled/ family shower room. It was this latter feature that drew us as my husband is disabled and needs accessible facilities. We really appreciated that the accessible room was locked and a code was needed to get in; we have had too many experiences of finding disabled bathrooms/loos occupied by people who could use the ordinary facilities. There were also the usual men's/ ladies sides with three loos and three showers in each, and a kitchen type room with washing up facilities. All the showers and hot water were free which we prefer as it means that there are no hidden extras.
The other feature that drew us ( thanks to the UKCS online search facilities!) was that the site allows fires and BBQs, providing breeze blocks to raise them off the floor. The only pitch available was a super pitch with EHU and water and grey water disposal point, at £24 a night; the ordinary tent pitches were £20 and pitches with. EHU were£22. Sue the owner and her staff were welcoming, friendly and informative. The pitches are spacious so even when fully booked the site was not cramped. There are recycling facilities by the bins in the centre of the site, and a good pub is only a few minutes away (Manifold Inn).
There are lots of information posters and leaflets in the foyer area of the facilities block, and just about every need, interest and hobby is catered for. We went without children so are unable to comment directly on the child- friendliness of the site, but we noticed that there were all ages there and a playing field at the top of the site were ball games appeared to be in progress.
There is a rule about having no music after 10 pm and someone does the rounds just to check and also remind people who are leaving the next morning about the 11 am checkout time. The peace and quiet was amazing, and the attention to detail in terms of the maintenance of the site was lovely. We liked the absence of any site lighting, as it meant there was no light pollution to interrupt the views of starlit skies.
So if you want a calm and orderly rural retreat with excellent facilities, this site has much to offer, and we shall certainly return. Thank you to Sue and her team for a great service.

Just returned from a lovely few days at Upper Hurst Farm. Great site and we were lucky to have a pitch at the bottom end of the field giving us wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. We stayed longer than we intended, just couldn't drag ourselves away. Location is perfect for visiting Bakewell and Buxton as well as quaint villages surrounding the area. Our one gripe is of other campers. Unfortunately somebody (a child???) messed all over the floor of one of the gents toilet cubicles. I can only think it was a child (an adult wouldn't do that would they?) as it was just left for somebody else to clear up. Disgusting. Not a complaint of the campsite at all but if you are a camper with young kids please take responsibility for them!
Well done to the wardens for running a great site.
