 Have just returned from a two night stay at this lovely campsite. Thank you Sue.
The site is so peaceful & the views lovely, there was still quite a bit of snow on the rolling hilltops which made it very picturesque.
The staff were very friendly & very welcoming to us without being intrusive (super couple).
WOW. The toilets/shower blocks/washing up facilities (all heated) were superb & very clean!.
I have to say the facilities are probably one of the best I have come across & we tour an awful lot.
The village of hartington is only a mile & a quarter away, you can walk through the public footpaths or take the road, well worth a visit & plenty of walks from there if you are a walker.

We stayed at upper Hurst farm park over Christmas. It was fantastic. Sue couldn't be more helpful, so friendly and accommodating.
The shower block is outstanding, best we have ever been to.
The views are amazing, waking up to that every morning is incredible.
It snowed while we were there and it was simply beautiful.
We heard the owls at night time which was so nice.
Cant wait to re-book. Thanks for great holiday.

Lovely site, friendly and helpful welcome, We had a lovely view of the countryside. The facilities were immaculate and in a lovely building. The only slight problem with this was about 20 kids was doing the Duke of Edinburgh award and the only warm place for them on a night was the entrance to the facilities. I must say though, they were all well behaved and polite. As someone said Harrington was lovely but it is a shame there isn't a footpath to get there. Without cows I'm not a big fan of cows but we got through ok. We would return one day

Just returned from a 12 night stay at this excellent site.
Sue, Yvonne & Paul are only too pleased to help and answer any questions you may have, my question on the local fly fishing was answered by Yvonne with a 4 page print out with contact details to a lot of fisheries, now that to me was service.
The top field used for dog walking is idle, also look out at night for the owl sitting on top of the mini goal posts looking for his midnight snack!
The site is well situated being not too far from Leek, Buxton and Bakewell for a variety of shops, though Hartington just 1. 5 miles away has local shops that supply bread, milk, newspapers and basic groceries.
In Hulme End and Hartington there are also a choice of eating and drinking establishments that supply excellent local delicacies.
This was our first full holiday in our caravan only previously doing two or three night stays to get used to caravanning, we are glad we picked this site for our holiday.

Just back from weeks camping on this lovely site, the facilities are kept clean and the showers are really hot, loads of hot water no running out after 5 mins. The views are fantastic from the site great to just sit doing nothing. Owner Sue and wardens really friendly but not intrusive, nice to know if needed they are there. We will be going back and would certainly recommend this site.

Spent a lovely week at this beautiful site. Very clean and well maintained toilet block. Sue and her staff are very friendly and helpful. I recommend this site to everyone. The site is well situated for many attractions such as Dovedale, Tissington trail, Hartington and many more. I would have given a 10 but on the first night there was a large family group that were very noisy well after the 10pm curfew and you couldn't alter the temperature of the showers. Having said that these were small details and we shall be going back to this gem

Good site, the showers and toilet blocks were of high standard and always kept clean. The site is also very well maintained and the staff more than helpful.
If I visit again I will take my bike to see a bit more of the area. The village is nice but just a pub doesn't quite cut the mustard fee me.

Only planned to stay one night here initially as we didn't book so turned up on the off chance of a space.
We were welcomed on site and were told we could stay as long as we wanted up to the weekend. We arrived on the monday and stayed till thursday, perfect!
It was a clean, friendly and relaxing site. Toilets/showers were kept very clean.
Large play field for the kids to play football and our youngest learnt to ride his bike.
The whole area was kept clean and tidy
Will definitely be returning in the future.

This is a great camping site. We found it quiet, great views, very good facilities, good value given free showers and wifi. Wifi works around the top of the site closer to the facilities, so we had free wifi in the tent, a rare luxury. We were there four nights and found plenty of places to walk and cycle to without moving the car once. Almost no road noise on the site. Will certainly be back.

Just had a wonderful week at this camping site, the owner was lovely and made us feel very welcome, as did the wardens Yvonne & John.
The site was amazing great pitches & the facilities were very good the toilet & shower block was the best we have been in including the dishwashing area very clean with all you need.
The surrounding area was very scenic with a couple of lovely pubs nearby.
The Village of Hartington is very pretty and worth a visit, there are plenty of walks to do in the surrounding Dales plenty to do for all the family the site is very peaceful, other campers very very good and friendly this site I would recommend to everyone wanting to get away for some peace and quite will definitely go back.

Great directions and we were met on arrival by Sue who showed us to our pitch. As far as we could tell all pitches have a slight slope so take what ever levelling means you have and this will easily rectify this very slight slope. We didn't go during peak season and it could be a very tranquil site. Toilet block was good although not quite as amazing as some of the reviews, however it depends on what you are used to on a campsite. Lovely dog walking area and as our dogs are not friendly to others having a dogs on lead policy except when walking when the field is empty was a big draw, however no one seemed to adhere to this request even the large German Shepherd owned by the caretaker was off lead around camp at times although not a nuisance unless you count the barking when left alone in the caravan. I was surprised to see that leaving dogs in caravans while owners went out for the day was allowed, certainly 2 small dogs where left in their van for a few hours barking when anyone went near, obviously this did make the site slightly less tranquil, however not annoying just note worthy. I felt the site was pleasant, if a little scruffy at the entrance however I felt it was a little on the expensive side. All in all I would give an 7/10

Excellent site, sue the owner greeted us with a smile and so helpful, showed us to our pitch and introduced us to the wardens who made us feel that we were family. Very friendly and helpful. The toilet and shower block were out of this world, very clean with nice hot showers. The site itself was lovely and clean and the surroundings were excellent. Excellent to the fact we paid a £5 to stay till 5. 00 o'clock. This was the first site we used with our caravan and the super pitches are fab with separate water and waste facilities. There is no doubt in my mind we will be returning to Upper Hurst Farm

I have just spent the weekend at this site. Choosing to use the EHU option with my tent. Let me tell you. It was AMAZING!
I went with 2 adults and 2 large dogs in my Rockwell 5 with Front Extension and there was plenty of room.
On arrival we were greeted by the owner who was very welcoming and handed us to the lovely lady who deals with Pitch allocation. We were directed the the bottom field where the EHU is located and given pitch number 3. After setting up the tent and surplus items we were given a tour around the facilities. A very central bin base where they have all sorts of recycling and green waste deposits as well as dog bins and a drinking water hose. We were about 10ft away from these and feared the smell but didn't need to worry. All of the bins were emptied every morning and afternoon so no flies or nasty smells.
Up to the shower block ( 2 min walk from the bottom field) we were dreading it having heard horror stories about camping bathrooms. Well, we were in for a surprise! the bathrooms were immaculate and clean. Under floor heating with good ventilation. The showers were very powerful and had constant hot water. The toilets were spotless as were the sinks and the bins were empty every time I went.
The grounds were kept brilliantly without a spec of rubbish and the gravel track all the way round was very helpful for the cars as the ground was still quite damp from previous rain.
The upper field that is used as a playing field and dog walk was invaluable during our stay as with two large breed dogs they needed to get out quite often and could be off lead and frolick in the long grass. ( there is a track mown all the way around like a figure 8) I would suggest maybe a couple more dog bins as there are only 2 on the whole site but it didn't cause a big issue.
It was a lovely and clean camp-site that whilst being reasonably busy with families on their half term was still quiet and relaxed. BLISS!
By 10pm in the evenings it was quiet and calm :)
We took a walk into Harrington via the river which took about an hour ( 10 mins along the road) and was again surprised to see how clean and welcoming everywhere is.
I am already looking to book again this year! Brilliant Place with Loads to do. 10* Love it!

We arrived at the site to be told via a note on the reception door to find the wardens in the centre of the park - the couple was very helpful and enthusiastic which was very comforting as we never saw the owner throughout our stay,
The view's are stunning and the toilets and wash facilities are equally as good,
Great location for bike trails and walks
Manifold inn pub is nearby providing great food and live entertainment in the evening.
All in all - what a great place, we will be returning very soon

Just spent the three nights of Bank Holiday weekend at this lovely site. Owner very welcoming. Wardens knowledgeable and friendly too.
Pitch (number 13), was a little difficult to reverse onto with the van due to large stones on the road side opposite the pitch, but with help from the warden, I was able to quickly get set up. Pitch not entirely level, so would recommend taking levelling device for van or motorhome.
Site was very busy, as to be expected during a Bank Holiday weekend, but the facilities stayed very clean, and there was an abundance of hot water in the showers, for which I only queued once, and the OH never queued. Nice playing field for the youngsters to let off steam, and gorgeous views of the rolling Derbyshire hillsides from the pitch.
Hartington a lovely village, although busy. Nice walk from the site. Great local cheese on sale in the cheese shop, and everybody in the group enjoyed a locally made ice cream from the van near the duck pond.
Would we stay here again? Yeah, I think we would, although we may request a different pitch next time, a little closer to the facilities looked a little more level than ours, and it was a little boggy on the grass with the location at the bottom of the hill, coupled with next doors' hosepipe connector having a leaky issue.
Managed a 22km jog from the site on Sunday morning, through Hartington and along the Tissington Trail to Rivendale and back. Not recommended - the hill from Hartington to Tissington trail was a 2km killer, (nice on the way back though).
Perhaps would be a 10 out of 10 site if the pitch had been completely level, (we could not get the awning to sit right against the caravan at all - and we weren't the only ones struggling with that, but that really didn't matter for just three nights), and if they'd cleaned the large pile of grass that had fallen off the mower onto our hardstanding - wasn't nice to walk through as it was starting to de-compost - fussy maybe, but worthy of dropping a point in the overall rating.
