About Sweet Knoll Camping

Situated in the Peak District National Park, this family run site is great for those who are seeking a countryside escape. Located next to a farm, the site provides a great taste of rural life. You can explore the local area with the Pennine Bridleway next door and Bakewell is within 20 minutes, or simply unwind and enjoy the fresh country air. The site offers a total of 50 spacious non electric grass pitches, suitable for tents and trailer tents, each measuring 10m x 10m. Pitches also enjoy picturesque countryside views with sheep as your neighbours! If you'd prefer to pack lighter, there is a fully furnished bell tent that sleeps up to four with a double bed and two camp beds with cosy bedding. Inside is a chest of drawers, sofa, crockery and cooking equipment including a hob, kettle and BBQ. Outside you'll find a fire pit and seating area. The site is also a great base to explore the rest of the Peak District's towns and villages, including the charming Bakewell just 20 minutes by car, stroll along the River Wye and of course, try a Bakewell Tart! Buxton is also 15 minutes by car and is full of Victorian and Georgian architecture and pretty gardens. BBQs are welcome onsite, perfect for al fresco dining in the evenings and open fires are allowed only in raised fire pits. Up to two four-legged friends are welcome to join you for your stay. Sorry, no dogs are permitted in the bell tent.

The site is open for weekends from July to the end of October.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

We had a fantastic stay at Sweet Knoll. We arrived on a Saturday, around 12pm, for a one-night stay. The outer edge of both the smaller field and the larger field were almost full of other campers who had already set up, but we managed to squeeze a spot. On arrival, I rang the number on the gate to tell them we had arrived, they told me to find a space, and met me with the fire pit (which I had hired), which was great! The campsite is surrounded with the most beautiful views. The site is peaceful and close to many walking routes. Clean toilets and kitchen facilities. However, there can be a bit of a queue first thing in the morning or last thing at night (only two toilets). Would I recommend it? 100%. We will definitely return.

Absolutely loved it would come back in a heartbeat
