 Read the featured site review and user reviews and decided to visit.
Some ones wires are crossed. The review states 'several tent pitches' I counted 22 tents on a grassed area fit for 10. Friday evening cars were running over guy ropes to gain access to the field, the tent next to us could have used our pegs!.
The site itself is excellent. The best toilet facilities we have used in years ! A walkers paradise ! close to Dovedale Milldale and the Limestone way.
I appreciate its not the site but the people camping on it (you don't recycle bottles at 6 am) but the owners need some advice as to how close, where and more importantly HOW many you allow to pitch. Theres more to running a campsite than Craming them in and organised games of rounders.
Sort out the amount pitching and we would return in an instant.

Just had 2 fantastic weeks at Upper Hurst Farm. The site is in a beautiful location with 360 degree views of the surrounding countryside. Our pitch was part hard standing with water. Electric & grey waste and was very spacious. The facilities were first class as the shower block was virtually brand new. Lovely showers with loads of hot water and they were kept spotlessly clean all the time we were there. The site got very busy at the week ends as it appears to be very popular for folks with tents but this was nice as there was always plenty going on. Sue was very helpful on arrival and gave us loads of info on walks and cycle rides in the local area. We particularly enjoyed cycling on the Manifold Way, The Tissington Trail & The Maunsel Way which are all disused railways and therefore fairly level (we don't do hills!)We will definitely be returning to this gem of a site.

We picked this site because of the reviews and we were not disappointed! The views are lovely and the site itself was perfect. Large pitches with water, waste and electric to hand. The showers and toilets were always spotless and warm. Sue is very friendly and there if you need her. Loads of information in the shower block about the area and places to visit. The Manifold Inn is a 15 min walk away with good selection of beers and good food, We will definitely be back

Stayed on this site over the bank holiday weekend. It is a lovely peaceful site - wonderful setting surrounded by hills, immaculately clean showers and toilets and a warm welcome from owner Sue, who is justifiably very proud of her site.
Pub and tea rooms in small hamlet of Hulme End, three-quarters mile away, or for more choice Hartington, about a mile and a half away, has a selection of places to eat and a few small shops.
Variety of walks from site and it's only around a mile to the start of the Manifold Trail - flat easy walking or cycling for 8. 5 miles on the old railway line. The Tissington Trail is about 3 miles from site.
If you're looking for a site in this area, look no further - you can't better this one!

What a lovely site. As with previous reviews Sue really does look after the site very well. The facilities were spotless and fitted out to a high standard. WIFI available in the amenities block a must with teenagers in toe! The views from the camp site are stunning. Very relaxed site. Lunch or dinner in The Manifold Hotel can be recommended.
Great location to visit Chatsworth recommend the farm shop especially for foodies. Bakewell, Ashbourne close by with Alton Towers only 1/2 hour away. We also hired bikes and cycled the Monsal Trail.
We will be back!

Can't fault this site one bit - very family friendly.
The owners were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the area. They couldn't do enough for you (they even fitted us in last minute on a bank holiday weekend due to a confirmation issue) and they also put on added trailer rides for the children. They have a few animals, sheep, birds and an amazing dog who loved to fetch sticks. This site is amazingly quiet considering you are in the countryside, we came home feeling really relaxed.
The new toilet/shower block was pristine, the site generally very clean and well looked after.
The area has a lot to offer and the site is a great place to do it from. We took a great walk through fields, recommended by the owners, to Hartington which is a small village with two pubs, a few shops, duck pond and a fab 'cheese shop'. You can access the 'Tissington Trail' from Hartington too which is great for cycling and walking.
I have already recommended this site to my friends as it is all a site should be. Please visit this site.

Our 2nd visit to this lovely site, just as good as last year, It would be hard to get any better.
Another warm welcome from Sue the owner, busy as always, keeping up her excellent standards.
Pitch was slightly sloping but not a huge problem to put a wedge under the wheel.
The grass was cut whilst we were there and it did tend to paddle everywhere but we didn't feel that it was a problem, the grass does have to be cut!
The views and tranquillity make this the perfect place to be and we hope to return with friends very soon.

Gem of a site, just 50 minutes from home. They gave us a very warm welcome and couldn't have been any more helpful. Lovely clean site, facilities - 3 showers and toilets, both brand new and kept pristine. Great site for walkers, very peaceful, Hartington only 2 miles away. Wonderful walk from Beresford Dale through to Hartington, stunning views from site. Great meal at The Manifold Inn, 5 minute drive away. Children welcome, but no playground. Dogs welcome, large dog walking field on site. Will definitely be back.

We've just returned from a lovely weekend at this campsite. It is easy to find, and a couple of miles from the nearest village, Hartington. The field is quite small and compact with hard standing round the outside and grass in the centre for tents. We had an electric hook up and a lovely flat pitch.
The facilities are excellent - a very warm, clean toilet and shower block, always in immaculate condition.
The owner is very friendly and helpful.
The Manifold Inn is about a 15 minute walkaway and serves good food and real ale, but you might need to book at busy weekends.
Lots of lovely walks straight from the site.
We will be Back!

What a lovely site this is; situated between the Derbyshire Dales and Staffordshire Moorlands its setting is magnificent.
About 25 hard standing pitches are situated around a central grass area that also has a dozen grass pitches - six with hook-ups. All hard stands have hook-up, water and drainage. The small but perfect;y adequate facilities block is spotless and almost new. There are three toilets and two showers each side, with three wash hand basins. Washing up and laundry facilities are in a small room at the side. TV reception was a bit limited, but we got by.
Sue, the owner, greeted us in her kitchen, from where you can also buy new laid eggs, and invited us to pitch in any vacant pitch. At £22 a night it is at the higher end of pricing - especially out of season.
There are many walking possibilities from the site - both to Hartington, and nearer to Hulme End. The Junction Tea Rooms at the latter can be recommended. Buxton, Leek and Bakewell are all pretty close.
The site is not really suitable for children; there are no play facilities, but it does not appear to be a working farm now, apart from a few chickens.
Would we go back? Like a shot!
