Back-to-basics camping done properly

Brosterfield is ideal for campers who enjoy the classic feel of pitching up on grass and being close to nature. The site welcomes tents and other simple camping setups, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed, respectful and low-key rather than busy or over-programmed. If you like the idea of a straightforward camping stay with clean facilities, open views and a good location for exploring, this is exactly the kind of site that will appeal.

Guest reviews often mention how calm the site feels, how spacious the field is and how clean the facilities are kept. That combination gives Brosterfield a reassuring balance: it still feels like real camping, but with enough comfort and care to make your stay easy and enjoyable.

The camping experience

The camping area is made up of non-electric grass pitches, so this is very much a place for people who want a more traditional camping break. It suits guests who are happy to come prepared, unplug a little and enjoy the simple pleasures of being outdoors such as morning coffees outside the tent, evenings under dark skies and days spent walking, biking or heading out to explore the Peaks.

Brosterfield’s setting adds a lot to the experience. Cows and sheep in the neighbouring fields, countryside all around you and easy access to walking routes from the site all help create the feeling of a proper rural escape.

Facilities & essentials

Although the site keeps a natural, back-to-basics feel, the essentials are all in place. Campers have access to separate male and female showers and toilets, a pot washing area, drinking water, WiFi and the waste points needed for shared site use. Our reviews regularly praise the shower and toilet block for being modern, tidy and well maintained.

This balance is one of the reasons the site works so well: you still get the charm of simple camping, but without sacrificing the practical features that make a stay more comfortable.

Good to know before you arrive

Camping check-in is from 12.30pm and check-out is by 11am. There are no electric hook-ups, and the site keeps a firm quiet-site policy, with no music and no large group bookings accepted. That makes Brosterfield especially appealing to campers looking for a more peaceful and respectful atmosphere.

Dogs are welcome on camping pitches, and the site’s rules are designed to help everyone enjoy the same calm environment. Raised barbecues and fire pits are permitted, but the overall emphasis is still very much on relaxed, considerate camping rather than late-night noise.

Explore the Peak District from your tent

Brosterfield is brilliantly placed for making the most of the Peak District. The Monsal Trail is close by for walking and cycling, Monsal Head offers one of the area’s best-loved views, and days out to Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Eyam and Buxton are all within easy reach. For many guests, one of the best parts of staying here is being able to combine simple camping with some of Derbyshire’s most iconic scenery and attractions.

A camping break with more peace and more space

If your idea of camping is fresh air, open views, clean facilities and a slower pace, Brosterfield is a lovely choice. It gives you the freedom of a traditional camping holiday in a setting that feels calm, scenic and properly connected to the Peak District landscape.
