I need to book a campsite somewhere in the peak district for a family gathering to celebrate my dad's birthday. We will be 5 adults and an 18-month-old. When I'm in the peak I usually stay at the Eric Byne site but that's too basic for this, so I'm looking for recommendations. Requirements are:
- Must be able to drive onto site (my parents will be sleeping in their van)
- decent toilets and showers and somewhere to change nappies
- walking distance to a good pub and preferably some decent vegetarian food
- not too rowdy
- not too commercialised. Something quirky and/or eco-friendly would go down well.

And for myself, I would prefer it not to be full of climbers - so that I don't have to watch longingly as other people head off to the crag for the day.

Any ideas?

There's a big site on the outskirts of Hope that might fit the bill. I've not used it personally but you can definitely drive into it, and its probably a 10 minute walk to the village.

I've just come back from a weekend at Beechcroft Farm, Blackwell, nr Buxton. Very decent showers etc given it was b****y freezing. Recommended as a site, even had a bike/dog wash facility!! No pub nearby, went the Church Inn at Chelmorton.
Seems hard to get campsite + pub.
If you tick all boxes, please post!

Monsal head is very pleasant. They dont take groups or parties, so you may wish to split your booking. Pub in the village and hotel next door.

Hardhurst farm.
Lovely modern, clean toilet facilities with hot showers. A very good breakfast cafe on sight and a pub that does food next door.
You take your chances with rowdy groups, but it's normally a quiet site. Sadly you'll almost definitely see other climbers there

Just outside the Peak NP but Knockerdown Campsite near Carsington Water has on site pub, showers and lots to do. Both pub and campsite very family friendly. I know the pub but only live along the road so haven't stayed at the campsite.

Brosterfield farm near Foolow used to be great for families but that seems to have been sold off.

There are a couple at Fenny Bentley. There is one basic(ish) one near the Bently Brook and the other one which might be better for you is up the hill. I thought it was OK in a family site sort of way.

Thanks all! Blimey, so many places in the peak I've never heard of. I will check those out.
