Derbyshire Scouts

Drum Hill Scout Camp is the county campsite for Derbyshire Scouts, established in 1927 and situated on Morley Lane, Little Eaton, approximately four miles north of Derby.

The site spans more than 80 acres of mixed woodland and open camping fields, bordered by dry stone walls and hedges, and sits atop a wooded hillside with views over Derby to the south and the Derbyshire countryside to the north.

The campsite can accommodate over 1,000 people across its camping fields and three residential buildings: the Bemrose Centre (sleeping up to 40), Larch Hall (up to 44), and Cameron Lair (up to 10).

Additional facilities include Heather Lodge, an indoor activity barn, and a range of on-site activities such as abseiling, climbing, archery, and open fires.

The site is open to Scout and Guide groups, other youth organisations, and educational groups, and is well placed for visits to the Peak District, Chatsworth House, and Carsington Water.
