Hartington Hills is far more than simply a campsite. This little slice of Peak District heaven in Beresford Dale on the edge of Hartington is a peaceful, rural idyll that draws guests back time and time again. The elevated position means that you can enjoy panoramic views that stretch for miles over the rolling hills and dales.
Here you’ll find not only a fabulous, family-run camping and caravan site, but also beautiful holiday cottages, a luxurious glamping yurt and two glamping caravans. It’s perfect for couples, families, and furry friends are welcome here too!
The caravan and camping pitches at Hartington Hills are on a large, gently-sloping field, offering stunning views over the beautiful surrounding countryside. Here you’ll find a selection of fully-serviced pitches, each one generously-sized at more than 11 square metres, with a 16A electric hook-up, its own water tap and grey waste disposal point.
There are also 11 grassy tent pitches, all with optional 10A electric hook-ups, set around the perimeter of the main camping area. The tent pitches are generous, but your tent must be 30sqm or less including additional structures such as gazebos.
The toilet and shower block at Hartington Hills is immaculately clean and warm, with underfloor heating. It has been likened to a 5-Star hotel! There is unlimited hot water and a spacious wet room which offers easy access for wheelchair-users or those with limited mobility. Families with small children are allowed to use the wet room too.
There is a separate kitchen area with pot-washing equipment, laundry facilities and a small freezer for ice packs.
Barbecues and fire pits are allowed, but please buy your kindling and wood directly at the farm. This is because their wood is very dry, and it prevents smoking out your neighbours! Use of your own charcoal is fine. Please use the bricks supplied to protect the grass.
