Had a bit of a poor start as we arrived too early. The only downside to this site is not being allowed on until 3pm, but we could have paid an extra £5 and got on at 1pm? Apart from that, it is a lovely clean and friendly site and only a short distance to Bakewell, which is a lovely little town and a cycle route (Monsal trail). You can hire bikes to do this.

The staff were really helpful and friendly. The site is located in a great position, five minute walk from the village. Had a great meal in the Crispin Arms. The farm shop was stocked with meats, eggs and cakes - an added bonus we thought! I had seen a review regarding the communal showers/toilets but we thought this was a good idea for families and they were private so did not cause any problems. The facilities were immaculate. Cannot wait to return and spend longer.

Lovely site, location and welcome. Not sure about communal showers and toilets. This should be made clear on your information.
Good site with a steep gradient

I stayed there during a warm August period and the location was ideal, less than 20 mins away from the stunning Monsal Dale and within 5 minutes from a 2 good pubs. The site was very clean and there was a range of toilet/shower facilities as well as a toilet near to the hill top that the site is situated on. It was also very peaceful (except for the sheep!). However, it must be noted that if you are on the hilltop (where we were), whilst the views are very nice (for a couple of pitches in particular), the walk to get there after you have used the facilities is a little dangerous and should be discouraged for those with walking difficulties or have fragile bones. This is because the gradient is very steep and the large gravel on the path to this area is very loose. I fell over on this, hurting my ankle (despite wearing suitably gripped shoes) and I saw at least 3 other people slip and almost fall during my two nights there. I would advise this to be looked into by the site owners. Overall, the site was in a nice location as well as being peaceful and plenty of facilities for what you need. However, if you are due to be on the hilltop, please be careful with your footing at all times.

Not happy with toilet/shower facilities being gender communal. Farm shop was a bit of a disappointment with few provisions available. Well located for walking and cycling. The excellent Monsal Trail a short cycle away and a short cycle trip to Bakewell, also via Trail. Adequate bus availability and pubs within a 10 min walk.

We had a lovely few days at Dale Farm camp site. It was located in a great position for the Monsal Trail and was peaceful and tranquil. The toilet block was superb and everything had been thought of. It was impeccably clean and everything in top condition. The couple who were looking after it for the owners were really welcoming and very helpful and we will definitely be returning!

Had an amazing long weekend at Dale Farm. Campsite is set up perfectly. We were greeted on arrival, told where our pitch was and had the chance to ask any questions etc. The facilities are 100% the best and the cleanest I've ever known at a campsite. Being able to rent a fire pit was great! The site is so peaceful with amazing views all around. Have already recommended the site to family. Thank you for a great time, we will definitely be back 😊😊😊

Large grass pitch was ample enough. The showers & toilets are excellent. Plenty of information as to where to walk/bike. Lovely pub (The Crispin) serving lovely food is a 5 minute walk from the site. A lot of what we did (Bakewell, Matlock, the Monsal trail walking the dogs) is within easy reach. No music so a lovely peaceful site.

Dale Farm Rural Campsite lives up to its name, located on the edge of Great Longstone which has 2 pubs within 5-minute walk and a 10-minute walk to a fantastic pub in Little Longstone. Or pick up the Monsal Trail into Bakewell, just over 3 miles from the top of Station Road Great Longstone. The site itself is located next to the working farm and has a modern, spotless facility block with showers, toilets and a wash area.

Came for 2 night stay as a group of 2 couples, on separate pitches. The campsite was lovely, and the new facilities were always so clean. The views are amazing. We will definitely be returning.

Fabulous, small campsite, set within a working farm. Modern, extremely clean facilities and very helpful staff. The site has a mixture of mini sites, from touring campers needing electrical hook up, glamping bell tents, to small tents totally off grid. Would highly recommend a stay.
