Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Would recommend for anyone wanting a base for local hikes or for exploring the Peak District. Close to Mam Tor, Castleton and Buxton. Toilets very clean with a well maintained communal area with a large sink for washing up. Site was very peaceful despite being fairly busy. Surrounded by lovely scenery of fields and hills.

Disliked: Site became quite muddy near gates which may be a problem for cars after heavy rain. Some of the pitches are not very level.

Liked: Lovely relaxed campsite - gorgeous views and stunning sunsets. Plenty of space even when full on the Saturday night. Lovely clean toilets and washing up facilities. Lounge area with charging facilities and a kettle a nice bonus. Minimal queuing even when campsite busy. Beautiful walks right from the doorstep.

Local attractions

Castleton (15 minutes’ drive) village is a very cute local spot. Its show caverns (including Peak Cavern, Treak Cliff Cavern and Blue John Cavern) have contributed to its fame, but the stone houses and views of Hope Valley and the High Peak are also ravishing. A walk up Mam Tor (15 minutes) is likely to please outdoorsy types. The five-mile route passes through heather moors on Kinder Scout and a reservoir before reaching the 517-metre hilltop in the High Peak. After your climb, you might decide that the Bakewell tarts and puddings of Bakewell (20 minutes) are the next natural course of action. The market town also has access to the Monsal Trail, a cycling route through old railway tunnels. Tuck into your sweet treats on the riverfront, a popular spot with other consumers of the famous tarts. There are some splendid walks around Chatsworth House (half an hour) should you crave more outdoorsy days out. Royal family members live in the house, so interested folks can book a tour to see some of the historic rooms (and the surrounding 105-acre garden and farmyard if they so wish).
