Big Hillsdale Farm is a splendid spot for striking vistas, scenic walks, and hours of farm exploration for the young and curious campers. This peaceful campsite rests next to a working farm nestled between the sleepy villages of Butterton and Grindon, with gorgeous views of the Manifold Valley. Small, family-run and friendly, Big Hillsdale Farm is an excellent spot for relaxing countryside escapes filled with wildlife and a laidback atmosphere. Owner Gill is often pottering the site, warmly greeting new guests, or providing a wealth of pointers on the best attractions and activities around. Pitch or park up on generous grass pitches with optional electric hook-ups, and settle in for a peaceful stay filled with the views of the surrounding countryside. The farm animals are ideal for entertaining the nippers. Free-range chickens often come strutting up to guests to have a nose around or scratch at the ground in search of food. Encourage the young ones to trot over to the friendly cows and donkeys who love making new friends and accepting treats. Farm fresh items like duck eggs are available for purchase on the premises and make for a great addition to alfresco sizzles. Campfires are also encouraged, so feel free to huddle around the flickering flames telling spooky stories or gaze up at the glittering canopy of stars. Pets are welcome.
