"The sanitary buildings are clean and have a power outlet for hairdryers, shavers or charging phones."
"Clean showers and washing facilities, a mini shop for essential groceries and onsite cafe, climbing centre and cycle hire."
Cons:
"However the toilet and washing block is really quite poor."
"The amenities could be improved as only a few showers worked well."
"Washing facilities were ok, although basic, glade became very smokey with all the fire pits burning in the night."
"The Automatic lights did not work in the toilet block which meant very dark night time visits with no hope of trying to disinfect it afterwards."
"The bathrooms are outside, unheated and only cleaned once a day."
"Very basic facilities and often filthy."
"The showers and loos are pretty basic and there's no where to put your stuff to keep it dry in the showers beside a hook on the back of the door."
Staff and Management
Pros:
"The managers were friendly and the site was pretty clean however we were overcharged for our stay by the owners despite the friendliness."

"Woeful response from owner who went missing the whole of the weekend."
"He was shouting very loudly and angrily at some guests."
"Finally, the guy who collected the bins would bomb around the field on his quad bike far too fast."
"The wardens went around to groups before that time warning them to stop music and lower our voices, becoming loud and very aggressive themselves."
Location and Environment

"Excellent facilities, secluded location and a lovely view of farmland."
"Far Peak is a beautifully placed Campsite."
"Set in a beautiful location, with lots of space."
"Beautiful place surrounded by countryside and woodlands and old British market towns."
"It's a beautiful location with excellent climbing walls, low ropes."
Cons:
"It was a bit close to the road and we could hear the traffic, but that didn't matter to us."
"We were put in the top field which runs alongside the main road, the noise from the road made it feel like we were sleeping by the M25!"
"Part of the campsite next to the main road is a bit loud with the traffic so not ideal if you wanna rest from the outside world."
"The noise from the helicopters was extremely intrusive on what should be a relaxing experience."
"Very noisy road."
"Oh and very noisy main road immediately outside the back of the site."
"The field that we were in is right next to a main road and the road noise is excruciatingly loud."
Activities and Entertainment
Pros:
"You can buy food and drinks on site, including wood fired pizzas."
"A wonderful campsite with fantastic facilities."
"Best parts though are the cafe on site and the ropes course park."
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Darren and his team for helping with our camping, such a lovely place for getting together with friends and stargazing."
"Also there are walking trails, archery targets, and a yurt to explore."
"Playground and climbing wall for kids also climbing tower for kids and adults."
"The activities on site are great for a weekend away with your family or friends."
Cons:
"Play areas there's only 1 free area (designed more for older children) the others are chargeable."
"Actives on site did not come up to expectations, that are on the website, archery was not on, climbing tower was very expensive."
"Children eventually only spent 15 minutes on the very small rope course - everything else was unavailable - very disappointing."
"Most activities not available (and they actually aren't part of the campsite), poor facilities."
"We paid £25 to do 'low ropes' as it was the only thing available. The low ropes course is old and elements of it are broken."
"I was a bit disappointed that the low ropes was not available to paying guests as it has been every other time we have been."
"The kids play area is poor and mostly closed off at the moment which is a shame - needs an update."
Value and Pricing
Pros:
"A well equipped, good value campsite."
"Rates on our stay were reasonable."
"Not particularly cheap camping, but does deliver value for money."
"Fair price for the site itself for two adults."
"Far Peak was excellent! It has far more amenities than a basic campsite but still retains a basic campsite price."
"Highly recommended for a camping stay."
"Very good site very helpful and very accommodating."
Cons:
"The campground is extremely expensive for what you get."
"£60 is a ridiculous cost for 2 people to stay in a noisy field (2 night minimum)."
"Just looked at booking one night for myself and two children 5&2. £50 for one night on a non-electric grass pitch! Ridiculous, clearly profiteering during school holidays."
"It's a good site for people with kids as there are several climbing activities on site, however it's all very pricey."
"We hired a firepit for the evenings... and had to pay £25 which I thought was rather expensive for two nights."
"Expensive even though in the Cotswolds."
"With this in mind I felt that the cost per night was much more expensive than many other campsites with better facilities."
