5 nights at Goren Farm

The amount of land and privacy for camping is really great. Showers were really good too, very generous to have two showers with hot water and good pressure for the amount of pitches.

3 nights at White Peak Camping

Beautiful views and walks from the campsite. The site and superclean toilets are checked twice a day. I came on weekdays out of school holidays so it was very peaceful. I went to the bustling Monday market at Bakewell by the hourly bus, the bus stop is nearly a mile away. I will be back. Thankyou for a great break.

2 nights at White Peak Camping

What a lovely site! Toilets and facilities are spotless. Hosts were absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait to come again!

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Lovely spot, with not many people around and not many kids as this is pure camping, not many attractions here. Perfect for people which are enjoying camping and bonfires. Great showers and not bad toilets. That’s all you need. I’ll be back!

Dream campsite. Perfect pitch, surrounded by wildflowers. Just right hot showers, compost loos and wash up. Great welcome, lovely cafe, and cider. 5*

Weekend Trip to Brig's Farm

Very relaxing campsite with beautiful views. Showers are very good.

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill Farm

This was such a lovely campsite! Perfectly located so wherever you camp you can see the sea. Gorgeous and easy terrain walks to the lighthouse and into the town. As the campsite offers events on holidays and weekends it brings a lot of atmosphere and a vast array of people. The weekend I went was a single female camping weekend which looked like great fun! If you are a fan of horses and ponies then there are loads in paddocks around the camp. With the chance to have a group hack. I will be staying here again in the future!

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

A lovely simple proper farm site, but with everything a normal human being could need. so great to pick your own spot…Not all level but who likes to be flat all the time.. Enjoy the great views and not have loads of rules apart from be peaceful and respectful.. Very flexible on check in/out and friendly owners.. So good to still have places to camp like this… Will be back for another chilled stop over…

It was the first camping since we had kids . The HOOK’s land place is really nice to go, clean toilet and safe for my kids to run around. Absolutely beautiful views.

Hook Farm Campsite was a total delight! My wife and I camped for an evening; it was peaceful, simple, beautiful and close to some lovely pubs, farm shops and walks. Could not have been better.

Ditchling Boutique Camping

101 units · Tents6 acres · Ditchling, East Sussex, South East England

Hunker down in a historic village, surrounded by vineyards, hilly countryside and some rather spectacular views. With Ditchling Camping as your base, you’ll be on track for rural bike rides or visiting Brighton and its busy coast 25 minutes’ drive away. That’s because this dog-friendly site is in Ditchling – a village in the splendid South Downs National Park and a rather excellent location for all sorts of days out. Good news if the whole family is tagging along: there’s plenty to play with around the site, including an adventure trail through the woodlands, a swing tree and places for kids to fashion their own little dens. The site is only a five-minute drive (or a 30-minute walk) from the traditional Jack and Jill windmills and the neighbouring family-run pub, which serves both grub and good ales. A vineyard is 15 minutes’ walk away from the site if you'd like to include a wine-tasting tour on your break. Otherwise, simply pedal along country lanes on the surrounding cycling routes (it’s easy enough to hire a bike locally). On your route, you might want to stop by in characterful Ditchling, home to local craftspeople and winemakers. There’s a nice selection of independent shops here, plus cosy cafés and pubs that will serve you a good spread of Sussex food, all within a 5-minute walk. Back on site, end the day with a cosy evening beside the fire-pits. The site facilities are nicely straightforward otherwise and include warm showers and a separate dishwashing area and of course our newly installed Composting Toilets.
