So good you want to keep it to yourself

We came across this adults only site just this year, it is one of those sites you wish you had found sooner! That being said we have visited 5+ times this year as it is close to home for a weekend break. I recommend going through the village of Stanton by Dale rather than turning down No Mans lane (where the Sat nav suggests). The entrance gate has a number operated padlock which is given to you before you arrive. The site owners are only a phone call away and are very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. It is very clean and well kept with 2 secure fields to let your dog have a run. There is plenty of space between pitches a couple of which are hard standing (some are sloping so you might need chocks) you will need your own facilities as there are no toilets or showers. There is a local cafe within a short 10 min walk - dogs very welcome (The Cow Shed) which is a must for breakfast or lunch. 3 pubs close by one of which is a great 30 mins walk. There are some lovely walks from the site or within a short drive and I highly recommend a visit to Locko Park which is a privately owned country house but the grounds are lovely with an Artisan Ice cream parlour (Bluebell Dairy) just up the road from the main park entrance. This is a gem of a site, very peaceful and reluctantly we can’t recommend it enough, it’s just too nice to keep to ourselves.

Fantastic small campsite

I really liked it here. Small, not too busy, quiet and clean. Other campers used chocks but I was ok. Dog walking field and the public footpaths are within minutes walk away. So great for dogs. I didn't get a chance to visit the Cowshed eatery, but it's quite close. Campsite owner is lovely, excellent communication and facilities are good. The gate is a bit tight to turn but most caravans got in fine, and gate is secure with padlock, so I felt safe camping there. Would definitely visit again.

Going the extra mile

Aidie and Leslie Hall ' CL SITE' Moorfield Farm Barn near Ilkeston just 10 mins away from M6 .To the rescue 💪..  after parking on the wrong pitch,  not the one we  should have  been on, because of the torrential rain, they helped us after a particularly heavy overnight downpour. Beautiful quiet  peaceful site, everything you could possibly look for in a CL. Thoroughly recommend . Lovely people going the extra mile . Will definitely stay again on the way south and back up home again.

Lovely Site

Stayed here for 2 nights when we were visiting family in Nottingham. Really lovely site. Immaculate. Quiet. Peaceful. Very friendly owners. Close to Nottingham and Derby. EHU, CDP, fresh water tap, bins, picnic area, dog walking area. Great area for walking and watching buzzards and other wildlife. Will definitely be back.

Great place

Just spent Bank Holiday weekend here and will definitely return. Lovely site, and well placed for lovely walks. Exercise field a real bonus for the dogs. Very friendly owners, who have obviously put a lot of time and effort into the site and it is very much appreciated.

Perfect!

Moorfield Farm Barn had been recommended by a friend as a great location to spend time walking with our dogs. The site is beautifully kept with a large secure paddock for the dogs away from other residents for exercise/toileting with bin provided. Lesley and Ady are on hand if needed but happy for you to arrive and pitch up yourselves. The area has lots of footpaths with some local features - the Hermitage and Locko Park as two we visited. We ate out at the Cowshed and the Carpenters Arms on the way back from our walks and would recommend both. TV signal great - a must that weekend due to the Line of Duty Finale! Easy to find and good spaces between all pitches ( all electric) but make sure you have chocks for levelling! We will go back. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Peace and quiet

This has to be the most peaceful CL we have ever stayed on. Lesley and Adrian go that extra mile to welcome you and make sure that you are ok. Yes the pitches are on a slope so you will need ramps but easy enough to level up. Water on each pitch and all facilities were well looked after. Clearly a site run by owners who care. This can't be said for every CL we have used. Certainly recommend the site.I Cowshed just up the road good for breakfast and coffee/cake. The site is also handy for The motorway. I would recommend using No Mans Lane for final approach.

Lovely peaceful spot

We spent 3 nights here over the bank holiday. Very good communication from Lesley prior to arrival and both were very welcoming when we arrived. A lot of effort has been put into the site including finishing touches and decorations. Facilities were great, very clean and accessible. The area is very peaceful. As others have said, The Cowshed is definitely worth a visit for food and it's a lovely walk through Hermits Forrest to the Abbey. There are lots of paths around and the area is good for both walking and cycling. Levelling blocks are required. I would definitely recommend this CL.
