 This is our second year here. It is very basic but you know what you're getting with these little farm sites. On site, the ground on the hook up field is both sloping and uneven so chocks and levellers are essential, even on the hardstanding gravel area.
There's only a single water point for both fields and the shower & loo are a short trek at the top of the upper field. The grass is kept very long in our opinion and animals graze in slow periods so wellies are essential too, but there's surprisingly little animal noise considering it's a true working farm. The entrance is easily missed so take care when coming down the hill.
However all is made up for by the utterly stunning views over the valley towards Tissington. The site is a great base to explore from, and only about 15 minutes from Carsington water and ten minutes from a free car park on the High Peak trail, amongst others.
Ashbourne itself is also about 12-15 mins drive and is a nice little market town with a decent children's playground and water splash area, and access to the start of the Tissington Trail.
Parwich village is quiet and sleepy, but the pub/shop is popular despite the very steep walk back up the hill of an evening! Shop is decently stocked for essential but has very limited opening hours. There are public footpaths from both the village and direct from the site to walk to Tissington village and the Tissington Trail, but be prepared for quite a hike!
All in all a site I'd happily recommend and will be returning to.

Not a lot to add that the other reviews haven't already said.
Foufinside is a working farm with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside, a lovely place for a relaxing camping break with cows as neighbours in the next field. All of the southern peak district is easily accessible as we discovered.
We camped in the field in front of the farmhouse with easy access to the toilet and shower (walking through the chicken run) and stopping for a fuss with the kittens. (Wellies are a good idea here, it is a farm after all). The toilet and shower are basic but kept clean and stocked with toilet roll and fresh hand towels daily. This was our first experience of camping in over 30 years and it was a pleasure.
Parwich village is within walking distance, good pub with shop open all day till late at weekends but check the notice board outside pub for the weekday times. Ashbourne is a drive away if its weekday afternoon and you've arrived without food as we did.
All in all excellent value for money, would go again.

This is a basic site but the location and views are lovely and the pretty village of Parwich is close by with a friendly pub.
We spent 3 nights in our motorhome on hard standing with electricity and we got a good signal on the TV.
Unfortunately we could not fill up the fresh water tank as it was a basic tap with no connector we managed with the water carrier.
We walked on the Friday to Tissington and Alsop de dale lovely walk about 7 miles, we caught the bus into Asbourne on Saturday £3. 00 return good local service.
Unfortunately during our visit the 1 toilet and 1 shower were dirty and the grass needed cutting so you really do need wellies.
The owners are really nice and friendly but this site could really do with some TLC

We stayed at the end of September. We had the pick of the pitches as no one else on the site other than a few campers. Lovely view across the countryside, nice and peaceful, only the sounds of the farm animals.
Nearly missed the site entrance. If you are coming from A515 Ashbourne to Buxton road, turn in along the unnamed road, you will see a no HGV sign. After a couple of miles you will see a 30mph sign and then the village of Parwich sign. As soon as you see the Parwich sign STOP! Look about 20 yards to your right you will see the caravan and camping sign.
This was our first small site and loved it. We will now be going back and this break made us realise you don't need the big sites with all the mod cons.
Great location to explore this area. Dovedale, Tissington Trail, Buxton, Matlock all close by. We walked Carsington resovoir, about 8 miles around.
Loved Parwich village. Nice pint at the local pub and shop. All the people in the village we spoke to were pleasant. We didn't eat there but the menu looked OK and not expensive.
Because it wasn't busy the day we were leaving we were allowed to leave what ever time we wanted, which was great not having to rush off for midday like a lot of sites.
1 x Toilet and shower were basic, but what do you need.
Nice and safe if you have kids. No playground, but big enough field to play in.
Do take wellies as at the end of the day you are on a farm.

We visited this campsite at the end of the the month for 2 nights, we had alright weather. The views were absolutely fantastic.
The walk is brilliant to and from the village but can be very hilly, fantastic prices at the pub. Another fantastic walk is to the village of Tissington, but again it is a bit steep and hilly, and it is 5 miles there and back.
The owners where very helpful!
There is 1 toilet and 1 shower, the shower can be a bit temperamental but it gets the job done!
The campsite it self was very good, larger then expected can fit up to 9 caravans and 15 tents (2 with eletric!
Overall this is a good campsite and we will be returning, lovely for the kids because of the farm animals and newly born kittens! We got fresh eggs the day we were leaving (very cheap)! Fantastic

This was our third visit to foufinside farm and we love it!
The site itself is basic with one toilet and one shower but these are both kept clean. To operate the shower you buy a token from the farmhouse for 50p, but at £9 per night for 2 adults, I didn't see paying for a shower a problem at all!
The farmer and his wife are both really friendly and always seemed close by to answer any questions. The site has several electric hook up points (not sure how many as we didn't use one)and the camping field is big enough for each tent to have plenty of space.
The vilage of parwich is a short walk away (hill walking back!) where you can find a pub with the local shop inside. Pub food was good and the shop seemed to stock all those essentials you can easily forget! if you want a newspaper it has to be ordered the day before. Locals were all friendly and the landlady was very helpful and chatty.
Overall this site has a great atmosphere and I would recommend it if you want a cheap, quiet break, if you are looking for modern luxuries then this wouldn't be for you!
We will definitely be back!

Fantastic site, so clean and with perfect views.
The entrance sign could be a bit clearer as many people were using the wrong entrance and ending up in the farm.
Yes it does have one toilet with a pay as you go shower but this is very clean.
With a short walk into to village (to the pub) didn't see any shops.
It was wakes week and the village was busy with fairs and traditional customs with white sticks and laughter. Cant wait to go back as my kids loved stroking the cows and seeing all the kittens in the farm yard.

Overall it's a lovely site, views are beautiful. Bit of a nuisance to find, whilst we were scratching our heads trying to locate it, a couple pulled up and asked us directions! Just a couple of 'hitches' that took the edge off for us.
I had phoned to book our pitch (hardstanding with electric). The owner said she wouldn't be there when we arrived but she would put a cone on our pitch. On arrival we saw the cone and made ourselves at home only to discover all the hook-up's were being used. Eventually we located the owner who directed us onto a grass pitch in the tent section of the site. He told us that someone had turned up without booking and he'd given them our spot!
We managed to get a hook-up eventually so we were happy.
Just a small point about this certified site, there were at least 12 caravans and 7 tents during our brief stay, so it was rather crowded, not quite what I was expecting, but overall it was lovely.

There was some confusion on arrival as three motorhomes turned up for the two available pitches! A caravan had decided to stay on an extra day but hadn't told anyone!
The owner came out and sorted everyone out successfully.
Access to the water point is at the top of the field and over grass, so not ideal for motorhomes.
The walks in the area are good and radiate in all directions! The pub in Parwich is run by the owners daughter and has a shop attached to it.
Not the best maintained site that we have been on but the hardstandings were hard and the electric supply was constant!
We had viewed this site at a distance from the Tissington Trail some years earlier, so it was good to get to use it.

Just the most wonderful views! Absolutely ideal CL - peaceful and beautiful, centrally located. We didn't need to use the toilet block so can't comment on that but parked ourselves happily in the corner of the field and enjoyed the views which are to die for. Our only criticism would be that it is a little difficult to contact the owners to book. We want to go back but have been unable to get any answer to our calls and there seems to be no way to communicate via email. Recommend the site wholeheartedly though. Thanks!
