Rivendale

Alsop En Le Dale, Derbyshire, England
1 acre hosted by Rivendale ?.
A natural spot for every kind of camper
Once upon a time, Rivendale was an upland farm, before morphing (with a little help from human hands) into a massive industrial quarry. When this was closed down, nature began to reclaim the site, until the wild brambles were cleared away to finish its metamorphosis into today’s campsite – a perfect balance between the man-made and the natural.

Spread over 37 acres and dotted with limestone farm buildings, this pretty and well-manicured site sits on a hillside overlooking Eaton and Alsop Dales, offering pitches for campers, as well as timber yurts and pods for glampers. Boasting numerous awards for conservation, it’s a very leafy, natural site, with ponds, thousands of trees, and an abundance of flora and fauna.

The grass pitches within the main camping area are generous and enjoy a sheltered location thanks to the horseshoe-shaped quarry walls on the north, east, and west sides – and by a wooded bank on the south side. 

No-frills campers have the magical option of pitching in a separate 10-acre meadow amid orchids and other wild flowers, or taking an isolated pitch perched on the hillside overlooking stunning Eaton Dale.
