Waterslacks Camping Barn
Sleeps 15

Waterslacks Camping Barn is a traditional stone field barn in the Peak District, thoughtfully adapted to provide simple, spacious group accommodation in a truly secluded countryside setting.

​

Perched on the edge of the dramatic Manifold Valley, the barn enjoys stunning views across steep-sided hills and unspoilt landscape, offering a memorable back-to-nature experience for guests who enjoy the outdoors and don’t mind a more rustic style of stay.

​

Spacious Shelter for Larger Groups

​

Inside, the large main barn area features three generous wooden sleeping platforms, comfortably accommodating up to 15 guests.

Guests are asked to bring their own sleeping bags, pillows, and camping mats to create a comfortable sleeping space. A curtain can be drawn to provide privacy between two of the platforms when needed.

​

Simple Kitchen and Practical Facilities

​

The barn includes a basic kitchen and dining area with:

• Picnic benches for shared meals

• Storage units, sink, and fridge

• Cooking slabs (guests should bring their own camp stove, cookware, plates, mugs, and cutlery)

 

There is also:

• A WC and wash basin within the barn

• An electric shower, which provides the only source of running hot water

 

While there is no central heating, wall-mounted quartz heaters provide effective warmth in the main living areas.
Electricity is supplied via a coin meter (£1 coins required), typically costing around £15–£20 for a winter weekend, and less during warmer months.

​

Outdoor Space, Campfires and Fresh Air

​

Outside, guests benefit from:

• Off-road parking for around ten cars (with final access via a short walking track)

• A grassed terrace at the front of the barn

• A designated campfire area where you are welcome to enjoy an evening fire (please bring your own wood)

 

Additional guests may camp on the grassed area by prior arrangement and an extra charge.

 

Pets are welcome by advance agreement, with numbers kept limited for comfort and safety.

 

Things to Bring for Your Stay

​

To make the most of your Peak District camping barn experience, please remember to bring:

• Sleeping bag, pillow, and sleeping mattress

• £1 coins for electricity, heating, and hot water

• Camp stove, cooking utensils, plates, mugs, and cutlery

What’s Included

​

Your group will have exclusive use of the entire barn and surrounding space, allowing you to enjoy true peace and quiet in the Peak District countryside.

We kindly ask guests to respect nearby neighbours and keep noise levels low after 10pm, as sound carries easily in rural areas.
