Peaceful Autumn Camping with Stunning Reservoir Views
This October, TCUK Midlands heads to the beautiful setting of Uppertown Farm, overlooking Carsington Water in the heart of Derbyshire. With expansive views, open countryside, and direct access to one of the area’s most loved outdoor spaces, this is a perfect venue for a calm and refreshing autumn camping weekend.
As the colours begin to change and the pace slows, Uppertown Farm offers a wonderfully peaceful place to relax and enjoy the season.
A Scenic, Rural Campsite
🌿 Open Space & Big Views
Uppertown Farm sits above Carsington Water, offering:
Spacious camping areas
Far-reaching views across the reservoir and surrounding hills
A quiet, rural atmosphere that feels naturally calming
It’s the kind of place where mornings are slow, walks are tempting, and evenings are best spent wrapped up outdoors enjoying the stillness.
🚿 Comfortable Facilities
The site provides clean, practical facilities to support an easy and enjoyable stay, including:
Toilet and shower facilities
Fresh water and waste disposal
Well-laid-out pitches with plenty of space
Everything you need for comfortable autumn camping, without fuss.
Explore Carsington Water at Your Own Pace
One of the highlights of this weekend is the immediate access to Carsington Water, which offers:
A scenic circular walking and cycling route
Wildlife spotting and peaceful viewpoints
Visitor centre, café, and picnic areas
Autumn is an especially beautiful time to explore the reservoir, with quieter paths, crisp air, and stunning seasonal colours.
A Relaxed, Low-Key TCUK Weekend
There’s no organised entertainment planned for this event, making it ideal for:
Campers who enjoy peace and quiet
Gentle walks and outdoor time
Relaxed conversations and early nights if you fancy
This weekend is about unwinding and enjoying one of Derbyshire’s most scenic locations without pressure or schedules.
