Our roots in ecology, we offer a regenerative space with eco, off-grid living offering guests the chance to escape and reconnect with each other and with the natural world.
Bring your own.
Stay with us here on our eco-stead and enjoy sleeping with your head close to the soil. We have 3 dedicated camping pitches and invite you to bring along your own tent or coming soon reserve one of ours. Our site is car free - pull in to our drop-off zone, grab a barrow and your eco-escape begins.
We are open to Greener Camping Club members only - at least one adult from each party must be a member alternately a £12 annual membership/joining fee can be paid on placing your booking. Membership is per calendar year.
Stay with us here on our eco-stead, a place for adults to camp, recharge and enjoy a quiet and nature connected break, we offer a regenerative space with eco, almost off-grid living offering guests the chance to escape to the Peak District. We are positioned in the beautiful village of Mappleton down a long driveway shared from time to time with sheep. Mappleton is a few minutes drive from Ashbourne, Ilam or the steppingstones at Dovedale so there’s loads to do straight from your pitch.
Book a private yoga class, a guided walk or guided cold water immersion experience or venture out in to the Peaks and dales on foot or bike. We can also offer stabling for your horse.
Please note that we are open to Greener Camping Club members only - at least one adult from each party must be a member alternately a £I2 annual membership/joining fee can be paid on placing your booking. Membership is per calendar year.
With our roots in ecology you can expect an almost off-grid experience. We know you love your space to be wild, peaceful and respectful of nature. We offer 3 spacious pitches within our paddock-meadow with its wild flowers and wildlife (we mow it mid-summer). Our pitches are named Lapwing, Kite & Curlew after just a few of the beautiful birds that we share our landscape with.
We are a space to escape and reconnect so expect -
Open natural landscapes bordering the Peak District just minutes from Ashbourne by car and our amazing village pub, the Okeover Arms by foot (the food is incredible, a fusion of India and English foods and now Indian Street Foods).
A quiet space (except during sheep shearing season when the local sheep and their shearing buddies arrive with no noise or vehicle movement between 10pm and 7:30am and no amplified music including car stereos or Bluetooth speakers at any time.
Our site is car-free. Following your drop off a few yards away you’ll find our parking area. Don’t worry it’s still not far from your pitch.
Solar powered batteries (communal) to charge your phone and tablet - no hook-up.
Clean and ecological composting toilets - don't worry they are awesome.
Off-grid steaming hot shower - we are working on finding ways to heat your water through more natural ways but in the meantime all hot water facilities are gas-powered.
We are an adult only site and are only able to accept a maximum of 4 campers per pitch - 2 campers included in your pitch fee, additional campers incur an additional fee.
We know the value of a campfire, a place to sit, stare in to the flames (there’s something primal about that don’t you think) and maybe toast a marshmallow or two. Campfires are encouraged but only in designated fire pits supplied free of charge and used in designated spots.
Recycling our future - recycling bins.
We are a strictly no smoking, no vaping site.
Our neighbouring farm is a working sheep farm so expect some day to day going’s on, particularly during shearing season. Well behaved small and medium sized dogs (2 max) are welcomed but must be kept secure or on leads at all times. Dangerous breeds and large dogs (larger than say a Collie) are not permitted. Dogs incur a small additional fee.
Don't expect unlimited electricity or load noises, we are proud to offer solar charging for your phones and tablets along with solar powered lighting
