Lathkill Dale Camp Site is a quiet, family run campsite on the edge of Monyash, a White Peak village inside the Peak District National Park. You pitch in small enclosed family meadows with far reaching dale views, or on sheltered individual pitches lower down, and electric hook up is available across both. The village green sits a 5 to 10 minute walk away, with the Bull's Head pub and the Smithy cafe both handy for a meal or a hearty breakfast. The entrance to Lathkill Dale, a national nature reserve following a limestone gorge, is a 2 minute walk, and the Tissington Trail with its cycle hire is a 5 minute drive. This is a proper quiet site: there is no noise between 10pm and 8am, one vehicle is allowed per tent, and it suits walkers, couples and families rather than large party groups. Dogs are welcome at no extra cost as long as they stay on leads. You can use fire baskets and BBQs if they are raised off the grass, and the site hires baskets and sells firewood. There is no shop on site or in the village, so stock up beforehand: the nearest farm shop is 1 mile west and there is a Co-op in Bakewell, 4 miles east. You book your pitch through the campsite's own online booking system.
Yes, dogs are welcome at no extra cost. They must be kept on leads at all times on site and cleaned up after. With Lathkill Dale nature reserve a two minute walk away and dozens of walks from the gate, it is a good base for dog owners.
Can you have campfires or BBQs?
Yes, fire baskets and BBQs are allowed as long as they are raised off the grass and off the wooden benches. The site hires out fire baskets and sells firewood and kindling, and disposable BBQs are permitted too if kept off the ground.
Is there electric hook up?
Yes, electric hook up is available on both the small enclosed family meadows and the sheltered individual pitches lower down, all a short walk from the facilities. Free hot water is provided, and there is a paid WiFi option that reaches most pitches plus a free hotspot by the facilities.
How close is the pub?
The pub is a 5 to 10 minute walk from the campsite, on the village green in Monyash. The Bull's Head serves food, and the neighbouring Smithy cafe is known for hearty breakfasts. There is also a playground behind the pub, viewable from the beer garden.
Is there a shop on site?
No, there is no shop on site or in Monyash village, so bring supplies with you. The nearest farm shop is about a mile west, a small petrol station and shop is roughly 3 miles south at Newhaven, and there is a Co-op in Bakewell 4 miles east.
How far is Lathkill Dale and the Tissington Trail?
The entrance to Lathkill Dale, a national nature reserve, is just a 2 minute walk from the campsite, and the Tissington Trail with cycle hire is about a 5 minute drive. Bakewell is 4 miles east and Buxton around 8 miles north.
