Beltonville Farmshop & Camping
A working farm in the Derbyshire Dales that earns its keep with a genuinely good café, a proper bar, and views over Miller's Dale.
Beltonville sits in the valley between Buxton and Bakewell, grass pitches looking out over Miller's Dale and the uninterrupted Derbyshire Dales beyond. The setting does the first bit of work; the on-site operation does the rest.
The Cow Shed café is the real draw for many who stop here: breakfasts cooked to order, generous servings, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you linger over a second coffee before the walk. The Drinking Trough bar adds live music at weekends, which shifts the site's tempo from quiet valley stopover to something closer to a sociable local night out.
For campers, the appeal is straightforward: grass pitches with a proper view, a farm shop stocked with local produce, and an owner-led operation where staff will pull you out of the mud with a tractor if February gets the better of you. The on-site food and drink means you can arrive light on supplies and eat well without driving anywhere.
