Excellent facilities that were extremely clean.
Just one fault and that was the extremely loud peacocks which crowed from around 4am every morning waking us all up.
Very friendly staff though and the place was kept immaculate.

Great really well organised and friendly site with a great location and fantastic views we will be back.

The site is expansive but has good facilities which are increased with clean portable units in peak times.
The site is billed as family friendly, whuch it is in many respects, but I would avoid it during peak times with young children.
There is meant to be no noise or loud music on site after 10. 30pm. This is a bit late for a family friendly site where there are young children.
Also, nothing was actually done about loud music playing, which went on until after midnight.

The site had beautiful view and fantastic facilities.
It was a very windy weekend but the trees protected us and the warm shower blocks made it very comfortable.
We love walking and found some amazing routes. The only disappointment thing was that we did not stay long enough.
Definitely going back again.

Well
What a gem of a site.
Welcoming, clean, great pitches, not a pice of litter on site, Which is a credit to the staff and those using the site.
Toilet showers very clean, also handy litttle shop on site.
Phone single was a bit crap in the area, but then again I switch mine off when am away.
Play area was great for kids, and at around 22-30 23-00, if by magic the whole site goes quiet.
Peacocks well, never seen so many in one place, and a pleasure to see. And they do not affect your stay.
The cost of a pitch was also great value. And a good size.
Pitches are limited for caravans. So make sure you book and not just turn up.
Tents well, loads of pitches for them, DOE awards, also use the site a lot as well.
Local village as 2 pubs, both well used by the sites guests, & site not far from Bakewell, Matlock.
Am sitiing here thinking of putting something negitive in this review.
But to be honest I am finding it hard to find one!
Really great site that I will be going back to soon I hope.

We booked for the bank holiday knowing it might be busy and the owner confirmed this when we booked. He also explained that the peacocks can be noisy early in the morning and was open and friendly on the phone.
The site is well situated on the edge of a small village, with lovely views from most pitches.
Birchover has two pubs, the Red Lion (dog friendly and brews its own beer) and the Druid (also dog friendly), which was an early gastro pub but seems to have fallen a bit on hard times.
The campsite shop sells milk and limited groceries plus ice creams and sweets etc. Over the bank holiday they had an early morning bacon butty wagon, afternoon ice creams and pancakes and fish and chips in the evening. There was also a temporary kids bouncy castle and climbing wall in addition to the small playground.
The walk to the historic Nine Ladies Stones on Stanton Moor is direct from the site and less than 30 minutes. You can walk to Rowsley past the Stones and there are paths to Winster and other local villages and hamlets, so plenty of dog walking opportunities. As motorhomers we don’t like to move the van once pitched, so with a small shop on site, local pubs and great countryside we had no problems with this.
Despite the very busy bank holiday weekend, the site still maintained a great family feel. The site staff were continually cleaning the toilets and showers and at no time did the site feel overcrowded. This is a great credit ot the owners and staff who clearly want to make money but to offer great service in return. The site is clean and well maintained but still retains the farmyard feel and is ideal for those who aren’t keen on the overly regimented Caravan Club type sites.
Very handy for Bakewell, Chatsworth and Matlock.

Barn Farm pitches are some of the best, with hard standing for caravan & car but kinder bark for the awning. There are only about a dozen pitched for motor-homes/caravans, with some large fields for campers.
The staff are friendly & are around the site regularly, needed with groups of youngsters on their DoE! The showers & toilet blocks are kept clean & well maintained, though you didn't need to cool the 'hot' water for pot washing!
The 2 pubs in the village both serve meals & are dog friendly, though we only used the 'Red Lion' which has it's own micro-brewery.
There is a decent bus service through Birchover connecting Matlock & Bakewell, which we used both to return after a walk & to take us out then walk back to/from different local villages.
It's an great center for exploring, well recommended. If you book for 7 nights +, there is a discount on the price shown!

Enjoyed our stay, well maintained site and plenty of showers, toilets and washing facilities.
Kids enjoyed the farm animals and the dog enjoyed the walks readily available.
Sainsburys in Matlock not to far away for your food and 2 pubs in the village
Few points worth mentioning no allocated pitches and your are pitched on a hill so very few flat spots for your tent
But overall I would recommend to friends and will be visiting again

Just come back from my One-Man-One-Tent camping trip at Barn Farm Campsite where I spent two days/one night testing my brand new tent (Temptest 200).
Staff
Staff is very friendly and helpful. I turned up at 11am and they let me check in without any problems (despite the fact their check-in time starts from 12pm).
Facilities
Toilets and showers(individual shower cubicles) are clean and nice (I would even say it feels cosy after a long day spent outside walking like crazy:). Showers/hot water is free.
Also there are two cleaning facilities for your pots, washing and drying room and a play room for kids and adults alike.
I didn't use the above three options so can't comment more on those.
Camping Field
The field where I camped is in an angle, best place to pitch a tent is at the top or at the bottom. I would recommend to arrive early so you can pick a better spot during busier times - first come first serve rule ;)
I also didn't experience any noisy campers during that one night.
Walking paths
There are some really nice walking pathways around. The most known and closest is Nine Ladies Stone Circle.
Overall
I was very happy that I have chosen the Barn Farm as my first campsite this year. I would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone; to a single person, couples and families alike.
Owners of the farm have some freely roaming peacocks just sitting or walking around the site. I consider this as a great idea (of all of the other campers there the peacocks were the loudest during that night :)
