Middlehills Farm is a well established and immaculately kept family-run site, set in 40 acres of land in the heart of the Peak District. It's the perfect spot to light up a campfire and watch the flames dance, meet the farm's friendly resident pigs and pet the ponies. Soak up the tranquil atmosphere from your spacious pitch, or relax and unwind with a little more luxury in one of two quirky glamping pods.

About the site
The farm has been in the Lomas family for more than 30 years and is a well established, peaceful and friendly site. The park is located just inside the south eastern corner of the Peak District, 20 minutes from Matlock and 15 minutes from Bakewell. The site has two large fields for camping and a separate one with a limited number of electric hook-ups (available to both tents and tourers). All are on gently sloping grass and you can pitch wherever you like. The children's play area is a big hit - and you can camp without electric right alongside it if you wish. Those seeking extra comfort will love the site glamping pods, with outdoor decking, a cosy double bed and bunk beds. You are welcome to have open fires, providing they are raised off the ground, and fire pits are available for hire if required. For the kids, friendly Gulliver's Kingdom offers plenty to explore. This is a working farm, with friendly onsite animals - the pigs are always hungry, and the ponies love to be pet! Dogs are welcome on a lead with campers at no charge.

The site was very clean and the people very friendly and helpful. I had 3 children and was camping on my own with them. I always felt safe and the children spent a lot of their time on the playground or petting the animals - they loved it. The views are lovely and there wasn't a lot of noise. The top field can get windy at times, so be aware if taking a gazebo if the weather looks bad. There is quarry noise but it didn't bother us. It's really convenient for Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock Bath and Carsington Water but be prepared to take the car. My car wouldn't start on both mornings we were there and I had to ask for a jump start from some friendly campers and when that didn't work, the campsite staff - they were amazingly helpful and got me going again within minutes. I'm so incredibly grateful to them as it's tough camping on your own, but I know very little about cars so that could have ended our trip. As it was, their help enabled us to carry on and my husband has bought us a new car battery now we're home! We will definitely be back. A fantastic site with fantastic staff - thank you so so much! 😁

This campsite was a brilliant place to stay, especially with children. The play park and animals were a lovely addition to our holiday! 20 mins from the beautiful Dovedale Park, it makes a perfect base for a journey around the Peak District. We can't wait to come back.
