About Hill Farm Caravan and Camping Site

This farm site is based in Barrow On Trent, a quiet Derbyshire village with easy waterside access - on foot you can easily reach both the local river and canal, both good for dog walks. Historic Derby is only 20 minutes away in the car. Hill Farm borders green surroundings and offers both grass and hardstanding pitches with electric for tents, caravans and motorhomes. Stays in the camping pods is a hassle free choice, as each pod is insulated and has electric heating included, plus twin beds. Upgrade to the Plus Pods and you'll be treated to a picnic table and handy mod cons like a fridge, microwave and sink. You'll need to bring camping equipment and bedding with you. Each also comes with a relaxing two person hot tub. The 5m Lotus Belle tents tick all the boxes for a relaxed stay, with space to sleep four and comfy beds supplied inside. You're also able to upgrade to the deluxe 5m Lotus Belle tents which have the added luxury of a four person hot tub and are insulated for the winter months. There are also large 6m Plus Lotus Belle bell tents which can sleep up to six people, kitted out with fridge, freezer, lighting, 240V sockets and USB charging included and a hot tub. Single beds and camp beds are supplied inside. Shared entrance covered to keep you nice and dry, if it rains.

Hardstanding pitches, pods and deluxe bell tents are all available all year round. Grass pitches and the standard bell tents are available from the 1st March.

Bell Tent - Lotus Belle Tents (Dog Friendly)Sep 2024

My two sons and I stayed for two nights so we could visit BSB at Donnington. Everything here was clean, tidy, functional and warm as a heater was supplied along with a fridge and kettle in our Lotus Belle tent. As bikers, we did not expect the facilities to be as comfortable and inviting as they were. Our bikes were parked safely near our tent and the lady who oversaw the site was always friendly and smiling. The toilet and shower facilities were always clean and easy access. What else can I say, but will be back the next time we visit Donnington race track.

Nice Campsite

Medium Tent - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)Sep 2024

Some people were very noisy, even after midnight until 2am or 3am, that made us not sleep well. One of my friends was trying to tell these people that they were too noisy and to please keep the voice down. However, they were still talking as normal until 3am. Eventually my friend left the campsite and drove back home.

FAQ

Check-in is from 2pm - 8pm for camping and glamping - you must vacate your pitch/accommodation by 11am on day of departure.

Up to three dogs are welcome to join you per pitch and in pet friendly glamping accommodation. They must be kept on a lead whilst onsite, including the designated dog areas - the local river and canal is also ideal for dog walks.

BBQs are welcome provided they are kept raised off the ground - open campfires and firepits are not permitted.

Camping and touring guests are welcome to bring one of each free of charge. Please ensure the pup tent fits within your pitch and any groundsheets used are breathable.


You can sizzle up your meals on a BBQ, or nip into Derby city centre for a slap up brekkie. If you don't fancy going far, there are three good pubs in walking distance.

There's fun times to be had with a canoe - a canoe hire centre is close by - and you can also sit beside the water with your rod, watching for a nibble in a nearby lake. Don't miss tranquil walks beside the River Trent.

Speed fans will be excited to hear that Donington Park Circuit is just a 20 minute zoom away.

Other great options include:

  • Robinwood Lakes for fishing
  • Elvaston Castle
  • Charnwood Forest Alpacas
  • National Brewery Centre
  • National Trust's Calke Abbey
