 Hardhurst Farm campsite is on a quiet country road just off the main road to castleton from Hope. There is a pub about a 5 minute walk from the campsite, although we never actually went into it, it seemed a nice place. The shops are about 1/2 mile from the campsite and the spar is open until 10 most nights. There is also a Chinese just after the Spar down the the road a bit. There is also a chipshop in Castleton but it closes at 6pm.
I was a bit worried about the train noise after reading about the line that runs alongside the campsite, but once we were there and after the first few trains had gone by, we hardly noticed them at all during the stay, we got used to them rattling along.
The campsite facilities are a little basic, there is a toilet block for both men and women, but there is only a single shower for men and women to use and the men’s shower is in the men’s toilets. There is a cafeé onsite but it is only open in the mornings. There is also 2 sinks for washing pots in and also a drinking tap to fill up water containers.
The prices for camping are reasonable, we had 3 adults and 2 children and 2 tents for 2 nights. We were charged £25. It was £3.50 per adult a night and £1 for children under the age of 16 per night.
Apart from the train noise and the sheep noise, the site was great, it had plenty of room for tents and plenty of room for caravans. The camping field is almost flat unless you camp right on the edge near the bottom of the field, then it has a slight slope.
The owners of the farm were very helpful and were always on hand if you needed anything.
It might be worth booking before you go though, as I did, because when we went the ‘no room, bookings only’ sign was up by the gate every day we were there. It didn't’t seem to be full, apart from in the caravan part of the campsite, there was still quite a lot of open space on the camping field. Cars are also allowed to stay next to your tent and they allow you to pitch anywhere you want too on the camping field. I think if you want electric hook up for the tent, they show you a pitch to go to in the caravan area.
There is a no noise policy after 11pm at night and we had no problems with noise both nights, apart from wind noise and the odd sheep baa.
Whilst we were there, my sisters made friends with the sheep in the next field. There are a couple sheep that were always at the fence wanting to be fussed and given the nice juicy grass from the other side of the fence.
To sum it up, the campsite was great and it has reasonable prices, so I would go back there.

Stayed for two nights at Hardhurst Farm, camping with two families and 4 children between us. Firstly, the negatives;
(a) Rubbish overflowing from the two large bins adjacent to the toilet block.
(b) Gent's toilets were terrible - both in condition and cleanliness. I mopped them myself at the end of the second day because it appeared no-one else was going to bother. My wife informs me that the Ladies were much better
(c) There is a train line right at the back of the camping field so there is some noise from passing trains - I would say around 10 - 12 per day.
On the positive side,
(a) The setting is lovely Great views of Win Hill and Lose Hill, and right up the east of the Hope Valley.
(b) Plenty of room in the camping field - perfect for our little ones to run about - you could just pitch where you want.
(c) Handy for Mam Tor, Castleton, Hathersage - great site for hillwalking.
(d) Local pub - The Traveller's Rest - is pretty good - nice beer, perfectly adequate food, very well maintained play area with loads of seating - and made us welcome - despite our gaggle of toddlers.
(e) It was quiet - no parties, gangs of "yoofs" - except us.
We'd certainly go back again - with some attention to detail from the owners this would really be a superb site.

I have now been to this site a few times, most recently this weekend. I would recommend this site to anyone who wanted a small, quiet and friendly site for caravans or tents. The toilets are a short walk from the pitches and I have always found them to be clean and tidy. There is hot water available for washing the pots. The site owners are friendly and helpful.
The pub the site sits behind is a nice and friendly pub with plenty of seating outside and a play area with slide, swings etc for the children.
The campsite itself has a lovely view and it is ideally located for plenty of scenic walks. There are plenty of shops 5 minutes down the road by car.
It cost us £12.50 a night for the caravan, four people, awning, dog and electric hook up. We were not asked how many people were staying or how big our outfit was and never have been asked. It has always been the same price regardless. Even though dogs are allowed on the site they were all kept on leads, as requested, and there has never been any dog mess left that we have seen.
This is an excellent little site that I will return to again and again.

This is a great campsite, one of the best I have been to in a long time.
The pitch prices are Cheap and so are the prices in the on-site cafe which does brilliant cooked breakfast.
It is only a short walk from Hope Train Station and is very quiet. There is a lot of wildlife, you will find your self watching birds flying about and we also had a visit from a hedgehog.
I will be going again soon

Lovely owners, make you feel very welcome. Cafe is great for a bit of pre-climbing hot grub! The train line does run right next to one side of the campsite and the one shower can be busy and grubby. But overall, very cheap, good location, great cafe and quiet at night.

We have just returned from a stay at Hardhurst Farm over the Bank Holiday weekend. We stayed for Saturday and Sunday night in tents and bought 2 cars along. Despite the fact it was Bank Holiday the campsite was not overcrowded by any means. It was apparently full booked but we had plenty of space in the second field to park cars and set up camp. This was nice compared to other sites where we have been shunted and squeezed between neighbouring tents.
The rates were extremely reasonable at £7.00 per tent + car per night. Facilities at this campsite are basic, but quite enough for the no-frills experience. The ladies toilets were clean and functional, a full length mirror plus a space at the end with a table for either baby changing or putting your stuff onto while you get ready. They are not too far to walk either!
Although we didn't find it to be a problem, there is only 1 shower at this campsite for males and females each. My experience of the ladies shower was ok. It was always very hot water and there is plenty of room to get ready (although you do feel rushed because often there are people waiting). However the only not very nice thing about the shower was the floor, it was filthy and covered in hair - yuck! There is a mop and bucket outside but the water in it was dirtier than the floor. I think the owners would do well to place some matting down in there, ladies bring flip flops!
The campsite is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Win Hill, which a great viewing point once you reach the top, sits behind the campsite. Nearby Hathersage is a nice village and I would recommend a meal at the Scotsmans Pack - drive to the Sheffield side of the village and take a left (its signposted).
Overall I would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone for a great value, simple camping experience.

We stayed at Hardhurst Farm for 6 nights over Easter 2007 in our tent.
Downsides -- they are right next to the train line. The ladies shower (only one) is shabby.
Upsides -- they are quite inexpensive compared to other campsites. The owners are lovely. There is a tea shop that's open 5 mornings a week with very reasonably priced breakfasts. They're within easy walking distance of a pub. If you come on the train, they're about a 15 minute walk from Hope train station. Free showers with plenty of hot water.
Overall -- would definitely stay there again. We chose them this Easter because we had some extra kids with us and couldn't really afford to stay anywhere else. But we had a great time and enjoyed being there. I understand they're converting one of their farm buildings into better showers which will be a great improvement.

Visited Hardhurst Farm along with another family and had a wonderful time. The facilities are basic but it is a farm so you should expect nothing else. The shower was fine, hot and powerful, we did not need to queue and the toilets were clean-just muddy floors which is not surprising since they are in the farmyard.
This is a great cheap and cheerful site with a super little breakfast cafe which is handy if you need a quick getaway. The kids loved it- small so they could run about safely and never be too far away. Loos are never too far away so you don't need to worry when you need to go at three am and there is enough light in the farmyard to find your way easily.
Train did not bother us at all- we would not have even noticed it if it were not for the kids waving at it every time it passed!
The Traveller's Rest is two minutes walk away and is lovely- nice beer garden and play things for kids but be aware that they do not serve food on a Sunday evening!

I have visited this site over twenty times over the past ten years. It has always been attractive due to its very low prices, although they have introduced a new price structure which now means that you pay by tent size as well as by occupancy so it is now less cheap for families and larger tents. The site is ideally located just outside Hope and is quite basic . It has a number of hook ups in the main field and some recently introduced hard standing area's. The toilet and shower facilities are basic and are a struggle for owners to keep clean at times, with only one shower per sex queues can build up at busy times. In recent years booking for Bank Holidays has become vital. However out of peak season it tends to be quiet with only the main field open, this field is nice and flat with tents being generally placed on one edge and caravans in the centre with the hookups. The other edges of the field are taken up by long term caravan pitches. There is a mobile home on site which I believe is available for hire. At busy times they shoo the sheep out of the second field to provide more tent space. Again a nice flat field. The site is compact so you are never far from the central facilities and the welcome is always pleasant. There is now a cafe on site which is open in the mornings and the Travellers Rest pub down the end of lane is a short stagger for good food and drink (booking is recommended for food at the weekends to avoid disappointment.)

Stayed on the site for two nights in February, in a friends motor caravan. Found the site very pleasant. Laval site with good hard standing for the van. The people who were running the site were very relaxed and made you feel most welcome. I found the toilet block to be very good for the site. The shower in the gents was particuarly well set out and easy to use. Very pleasant stay with plenty to see and do in just a short bike ride away. Nice not to have to move the van. I very very much look forward to going back in the summer.

This is a great place if you want to meet up and go green laning in derbyshire very landrover friendly , the toilet block is a bit of a let down especially for the wife and children but it should'nt bother you guys. Did'nt notice the train to much never had time to see the pub and they did'nt mind me carring out wheel change as long as you respect the other campers.

After trying 20 other campsites in Derbyshire and being told they were all fully booked I was amazed we got a pitch on this campsite during the August Bank Holiday. On reading previous reviews I wasn't expecting much but this campsite is fab. Lovely owners, cafe on site and nice pub with a small play area for kids just a couple of mins walk away. We had a spot on the caravan field which was close enough to the toilets, shower and washing up facilities, yet still private and sheltered under some trees. Relaxed and chilled atmosphere, it made a nice change not to be bombarded with rules and regulations on arrival. Toilets block was fine and shower ok too. This is on it's own, in a separate building and I found 5pm was around the quietest time to use it. The trains do go past occasionally but the cute ducks that waddle around your tent/caravan make up for that! We will definitely be going back.

It was the only campsite to have room for us, and after reading all the previous reviews I was really worried the toilets etc. Would be awful. But we had a really fantastic time. The plot we put the tent on was flat and roomy, so we were able to spread out. The toilets weren't dirty at all. I did hear some people complain, but they were fine and after all it is a campsite - not a hotel!. The shower was warm and clean and my daughter loved going into it. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only problem we had was that because it was busy there wasn't really any room to play football. But the children managed to keep amused by sliding down the embankment and making it into a mudslide. We would definitely go back and it was great that you didn't have to leave in the morning, you could leave whenever.

We stayed as a family at this site several times over the summer last year on the recommendation of a friend. We found the owners, particularly the lady, very accommodating and attentive. We do agree that the shower facilities were not great to say the least! The mop of dirty water left outside the shower did not inspire confidence but otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stays. We did not eat at the cafe but observed quite a crowd in there at breakfast. The site was lovely in the sense that sheep are to be found wandering about and this was a nice sound to wake up to! Our young son was in his element! The site is close to a railway line but this does not cause a problem. There is a popular pub very close by (not tried) and plenty of beautiful places to visit. We found there were regular parades / fetes etc which were well attended in the surrounding villages. Also rather good fish and chip shops! We shall certainly be going to this site again.

We were welcomed by the friendly staff after nearly missing the turning. Over the weekend we noticed several people has missed the turning and had to turn around - including our parents! Cafe on site which was very busy at breakfast time. Friendly and busy pub down the road with lots of seating outside. Easy to get to the small towns and villages in this part of Derbyshire. The toilets were basic and the showers disappointing but this was the only negative. Hardly noticed the trains going past. Had a great weekend and for a very reasonable price.
