Small and convenient, Farditch Farm Caravan Park sits in the heart of the Peak District. The complex offers hardstanding pitches both with electric and without and even fully serviced pitches are available. Perfect for couples or families wanting an excellent base to explore the local towns and villages. Dogs are more than welcome with an enclosed dog walking field.

Good facilities but not enough space between pitches

Small campervan pitch was really close to the neighbouring van which had a dog which was not friendly. We booked this site because of its proximity to the local village pub so we could call for a meal and drinks, and then have a quiet night in the Peak District. The pub strangely was closed on a Tuesday. As we had no food we drove into Buxton for a meal then decided because of the pitch, not the facilities, rather than drive back to the site, just to continue our journey home and not stay the night.

Lovely site on a hardstanding pitch. Bit of noise from traffic, but not a problem for us.

Only a short stay, but Farditch is far better than other sites for cleanliness and the facilities, showers as good as your own home. Small and friendly site, enclosed dog run is great

This caravan site is ok. The facilities are good and very clean. The major issues are the caravan pitches are in a square, so all you see are other vans on the site. This is such a shame when the surrounding countryside is beautiful. The other issue is the noise from the main road which is used by a lot of motorbikes, who appear to use it as a race track, or that is what it sounds like. The local village has a good pub.

One of the cleanest campsites I’ve ever been to! Great spot with a lovely pub within walking distance. Kids loved the cows and dog was happy to run in the dog safe designated waking area. Fantastic!

A real gem of a holiday venue

A real gem of a holiday park which is thoughtfully laid out and very well kept . The hardstanding full serviced pitches are lined with established plants which fence off your boundaries, which we loved as it made it more private. With 3 nosey cocker spaniels, this made our stay more enjoyable. The dog field was fully secure and a stones throw away from the pitches which was convenient for early morning and late night toilet trips! The shower and toilet facilities were beautifully cleaned (I run my own cleaning business so I am very fussy, ask my partner) and the kitchen and lounge were always clean and tidy too. A real credit to the owners and staff who we didn't see which wasn't a problem to us. As long as the facilities are well looked after and checked regularly which clearly they are. Thankyou we would definitely recommend and come back too.

Fabulous site, with super clean facilities! I loved the self check in, made it so easy to arrive when you wanted with no stress. Also the late check out was a firm favourite for us workers to enjoy a lay-in.

Found it easy to book and was informed of our pitch and procedure before we arrived. The site was clean and tidy, the pitches were level, the toilet block was also clean and tidy. The only thing I could suggest would be a small hose attached to a tap next to the Elson Point. Location was superb for the local area and only 5 minute drive to Buxton.

We only booked this site due to its location when travelling from Harrogate to Shropshire but we were very surprised at the high standard & cleanliness of the facilities. The showers were large with plenty of space to get dressed after and there was even a kitchen area with a cooker, microwave, 2 fridges and other appliances at our disposal. There is also a very clean and comfy lounge are where there was plenty of local information. Only 2 minor negatives, the road noise alongside the pitch and the self closing door to the toilet and showers, which is next to pitch 16. This bangs every time someone goes in or out, a simple fix would be to add some foam to it's surround and would be very welcomed to campers. Nice views and lovely sunset from campsite. Easy access into Buxton and Bakewell.

Thank you John, I am glad we surpassed your expectations. We will definitely take a look at softening the close on the facilities door. Many thanks and best wishes, Rebecca

The site was superbly clean and tidy but with a lack of reception, shop or even local information. Situated in a stunning area it is such a shame that the 11 pitches are situated around a tarmac area with tall trees/ hedges behind each pitch. The road directly behind the site is also very noisy. We headed home after 4 nights despite being booked being booked for 7. Disappointing.
Site's response
Thank you for your review, I am glad you like the cleanliness of the site. With just 11 touring pitches and being 3 miles from Buxton, where there is a wealth of shops from outdoor shops to 24hr convenience and even a superb caravan parts and repair business, I'm not sure a shop would be beneficial to either party, or necessary. We don't have a reception as we run the farm alongside the park as well as having a young family so we can't guarantee being on site for your arrival. This is why we send all important information to you by email, which includes our direct contact information. There is however a maintenance person on site every morning weekdays and I am based in the office, on site, most weekdays, should you need to speak to someone. We have a wealth of local information in the facilities lounge and there were at least 2 information books there during your stay, you may have noticed that the information wall is currently being expanded with local walks from the doorstep. We have very clear pictures of the site and the pitches on our listing on Campsites. They show the pitches are 'all weather' and the trees provide a wind break, as the Peak District can be rather wet and windy at times, the wild birds like the gardens too. We do have an open field at the entrance to the facilities with amazing views which is available for your leisure. The road can be busy at times but it does quieten in the evening. It provides very easy access to caravans and large motorhomes. Sorry you felt disappointed by you trip but hopefully I have cleared up a few of the issues. Best wishes, Rebecca

A lovely little campsite in a village. Facilities are spotless, you have use of a washing machine in large kitchen area and sachets of tea and coffee are available. The common lounge area is large and the sofas are comfy. Bus service into Buxton and Bakewell nearby and the showers were good. Early morning and late evening could hear traffic noise but it was not a bother. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Good location. Pitch was a fully serviced (I.e. running water, grey waste disposal and electric). Hard standing pitch, facilities exceptional. Was a large kitchen and sitting room if you wished to use them. Dogs allowed. Views from site 180 degrees. Washing facilities and disabled facilities. Would go again.

We had a great overnight stay with my two daughters, the site was immaculate with fantastic facilities. Lovely walk to The Church Inn, a lovely pub around a 30 minute walk away, which served great food. We will definitely be revisiting this site, the location is great for exploring Derbyshire.

Pros: lovely campsite, with great facilities: accessible kitchen area, lovely shower block and a lounge area. Great field area to play on / walk your dog too. Close to local tourist destinations. Cons: some road noise, although didn't really bother us, campervan pitches are close to each other, and not everyone respected the 'keep dog on lead' policy. Overall, would visit again.

We stayed for 4 nights over the Easter weekend. The site is very clean and well maintained, facilities and connections very easy to use. Location is handy for accessing the whole Peak District via car/van. A 25min walk to the village pub down wide pavements.

What a find! Lovely site with fabulous facilities. We stayed whilst it was quiet and the weather was very cold. The shower facilities were the best we've come across. There was a kitchen as well that we could use with a four-ring hob, combination microwave, two sinks, washing machine, fridge and separate freezer. In addition, a lovely lounge area with a tv and we made full use of that as our little camper has no heating. Everything was spotlessly clean and well looked after. Couldn't ask for more!
