Liked: Nice location, easy to check in, good facilities, plenty of space, and overall just a great stay. I’d visit again!
Disliked: You have to pay for the shower. There’s no signal so good for off the grid but bad for communication.

Liked: Views and remote location.
Disliked: Campsite felt over-booked with too many people in one small field. Very limited shower and toilet facilities meant you often had to queue.

Liked: Great location for access to local walking and traveling to Castleton, Buxton, edale. Right next to blue john caves and mam Torr. Area for campervans and tents was very large and can accommodate a lot of people, didn't have to worry about finding a place to pitch. Facilities were basic but what you needed. Food cabin on site selling coffee, jacket potatoes, Cakes crisps etc was a nice touch. Would recommend staying here

Liked: Excellent location, clean facilities, good price. They also had a van doing jacket potatoes on Saturday. Things stayed quiet and there seemed to be a good atmosphere on site.
Disliked: One one mens shower and one woman's shower, so there can be a line at peak times. You gotta pay £1 to shower as well

Liked: Great location for walks!! We walked from the campsite to the summit of Mam Tor in 40 minutes. Also a lovely circular along the great ridge and back through Hope/Castleton along the limestone way. Open field for campers, no allocated pitches but plenty of room between tents. BBQs and Firepits allowed and bricks provided to keep off the grass. Shower hot and £1 for 3 minutes. Toilets basic but absolutely fine, 3 sinks and mirrors with plugs for hairdryers etc. 2 washing up sinks with hot water. Drinking water tap. The Fridge freezer very useful for storing chilled items (and beer!). We'll definitely stay again!!
