 We have just arrived home from Knotlow Farm today and thoroughly enjoyed the whole time.
Margaret was very helpful and answered any questions with courtesy when asked.
The ground was in very good condition and we pitched on a clean fresh field.
The facilities are rather basic but we feel this is what camping has always been about.
The walk to the Duke of York pub was very pleasant but you do have to enjoy walking.
However, it is downhill on the way back.
The Duke of York is a small and friendly pub that does offer meals, although we didn't eat, it looked very tempting.
We highly recommend Knotlow Farm. It is a working Farm. For those who live in the city as we do, it is a delight to stay in such a warm and friendly rural place. The other campers were friendly.

This site is easy to find and in a great location for visiting the national park. Its a basic, no frills site and being a working farm it wasn't clear exactly where we could pitch, apart from one field housing several caravans and a tent. After talking with the owner, Margaret, we opted to camp next to the occupied field where a dry-stone wall offered some shelter. The other options included a large grassed area by the farm track, going up to the Limestone Way but this was quite exposed (particularly in February) and the only section offering some kind of shelter by a copse of new trees was on quite a slope. It was also busy with walkers coming and going.
The site only has one toilet block and one shower so is hardly suitable for seasonal camping.
Although not far from the main Ashbourne to Buxton road, there was only a slight bit of traffic noise. More evident was the flight path which we were directly under, with fairly frequent planes flying over,presumably to and from Manchester.
A necessity for us is a fire when camping out of season and this site is the exception to the rule in the Peak area in that it allows camp-fires, however, you are expected to hire one of their raised burners which at £5.00 per day on top of the £7.00 per person camping fee makes the overall costs just a little overpriced for such a basic site with few facilities. I had checked with the owner prior to our arrival to ensure that we could bring and burn our own wood, which we were told we could but we hadn't been told anything about a hire fee for the burners.
We didn't get to see Flagg properly apart from driving through it but we did enjoy time in nearby Edale and of course, Kinder Scout. It is also near to Arbor Low which we visited on the way home and also Bakewell. Both highly recommended.
On the whole, I like this site but mostly for its location. I would definitely go again but it needs to cater better to campers needs if it is to be taken seriously and used accordingly.

Stayed here for weekend shower, toliets, basic but clean . Very peaceful, lovely walks straight from the campsite no shop, clubhouse, but this is what we like , campfire at night good food plenty of wine what more could you want. The owner margaret was very friendly and helpful, there is no pressure to get packed up when its time to leave and you can pitch anywhere.
Would go back to this site .

A group of 6 recently visited the site. There was a choice of 3 fields to camp on, we went for the furthest field, which was sloping but quieter than the other fields.
Fires were allowed with a fire basket provided by the farm. The toilets were clean but there were only 3 ladies and 1 gents and only one shower for men and women! We were waiting for about 45mins for a shower which was a real pain.
The site is in the middle of nowhere, nearest pub was over a mile away, The Bull i'th Thorn, but we did not rate the pub at all and out of 6 meals requested they didn't have 4! Service was a bit shoddy and 3 steaks ordered to be cooked the same all came out different!
Overall the site is ok, you get what you pay for, it's only £5 per person per night.
