 This was our second visit to this site with our boys who are 12 and 8. They really enjoy feeding the chickens and helping Edward feed the sheep. Edward is brilliant with the children who learn a lot about farming from him. The boys did not want to leave (again). This time we brought along another family who had never camped before and, despite the cold, wet weather they really enjoyed it and we've already planned our next joint camping adventure!
This is a lovely, quiet, family site that is a working farm. It is not an "all singing, all dancing" site so don't expect entertainment to be laid on! It is well placed for visiting many tourist attractions - Buxton, Bakewell, Ashbourne, Dovedale, Hope, Castleton etc. All well within driving distance. There are nice walks around the site too. Facilities are as described in previous reviews - clean and adequate if site not too busy but I can imagine queues for showers at busy times.
Most pubs in the area cater for children. We went to the Church Inn in Chelmorton (2 miles away) and The Bull I th' Thorn on A515 - had good meals in both.
We would definitely visit this site again.

We have just returned from a two night trip at Shallow Grange. I agree with the previous reviews, the owners of the site were very friendly and made you feel at home right away. The toilet and washing facilities were limited-we were warned when we booked that there may be queues over the bank hol but we didn't find this a problem. Disappointing that the pub was a bit of a trek away. Would be very pleasant 20 min walk on a summers day but with the weather being so bad we could have done with somewhere warm to shelter around the corner. Other than that we had an excellent time and would thoroughly recommend the site to couples/families alike.

Tried this campsite for first time over bank holiday weekend as usual campsite we used was full. Had read reviews and had felt confident that we would be staying at a reasonably quiet and well maintained campsite.
Upon arrival we were surprised to find that the size of the campsite is somewhat more than the ' 20 caravan pitches and small tent field' as described on their website. Admittedly it was a bank holiday but we counted over 80 pitches in use, with every space seemingly being used, in fact the tent next to our pitch was actually in contact with our tent, so much for the 6 metre rule !.
The biggest disappointment came when going to use the facilities, as mentioned in previous reviews only 1 shower and 2 cubicles in the gents and not much better in the ladies, this is obviously not suitable for the number of people staying at the site, as could be seen by the never ending queues of people waiting to use the shower.
All this is a shame as the site is clean and in a good position for exploring the peaks with some good walks from the campsite.
This site may well be worth visiting mid-week or off season but due to the lack of facilities probably worth avoiding during busy periods.

Have just returned from a Bank Holiday weekend at this super site. We first visited two years ago when the owners Edward and Marilyn had only recently taken over. We received as warm a welcome this time as we did then. This weekend Edward invited visitors to watch while he bottle fed two new lambs .Our daughter (8) along with all the other kids was thrilled to bits when she was allowed to hold one for a short while.
The Church Inn at Chelmorton, about two miles down the road, does a very nice Sunday lunch and there's a 24hr Tesco Express a few minutes away by car just outside Buxton.
You can walk straight off the site into lovely countryside; maps are available for loan from reception.
This is a quiet family site. A level grassed area is set aside for caravans/tents requiring EHU and there's an additional tent field which slopes a bit. There are two showers in the ladies, one in the gents. A pot washing and laundry room form part of the amenity block along with a well organised recycling bin area.The facilities are basic but clean and tidy, although it was evidently a problem keeping on top of things this weekend due to the number of visitors. We will definitely be going back though probably not on a Bank Holiday as we felt the facilities were overstretched.

Visited this site for the third time we are so impressed. Edward & Marilyn are so friendly The fields are really well drained and the facilities are great. Would definitely recommend as a nice quiet family site and will be going again. Only ten minutes drive to Buxton and Bakewell and various other tourist places.

We visited here for a weekend having found most of the other sites in the area fully booked. The site itself was fine, gentle slope and pretty good ground. Shower block was clean enough and water facilities were on the tent field. By the Saturday night it had become quite crowded and I felt it would have benefited from having less tents. Other than that, a pretty no frills site.
We found a pub in chelmorton that was approx a 2 mile walk. The next day we utilised a campsite map and hiked to Taddington. (Got a bus back as the driver was willing to drop us right by the campsite!) Approx a 12 mile drive to Dovedale, 5 mile to Buxton.

We have just returned from a great weekend here. Fantastic setting and well layed out pitches. Edward, the owner, couldn't have been any more helpful if he'd tried. Facilities clean and I didn't have to queue once for the loo. I would definately go back, it's a must for anyone with a family

We have just been to this lovely little campsite.
The owners Edward and Marilyn are really welcoming and helpful.
The setting is just perfect, fields all around animals, not too cramped.
The sunset is beautiful as it goes down behind you.
Facilities are fab, all clean.
You can get fresh creamy milk from the cows and free range eggs from the Hens on the farm.
What more do you need for your camping breakie!
We will definatley be going back here!

A bit worried about this site because there was no reviews, however the website looked good so we gave it a try.
We had a fantastic night and I thought I would be the first to review.
The tent pitches are in a large field with tents around the edge and some in the middle. There are plenty of water taps around the perimeter. The site is clean with a good recycling policy.
If you are a fisherman there is a lovely pond in the middle of the next field. I'm not a fisherman so I don't what the fish are like but it looks a very peaceful place to spend the day.
The shower blocks were always clean although just the one shower lets it down a bit.
Overall a lovely site and we will definitely be visiting again.
