Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: This was my second time here. And we knew we just had to come back!
The surroundings and views really are beautiful and peaceful to watch a sunrise or sunset and to switch off from the busy-ness of life.
The site is always friendly and a happy place to be.
Incredibly helpful staff and a variety of options available. Including showers which have been added since our last trip.

Cannot wait to come back!

Disliked: Couldn’t get the water to even a warm temperature to wash pots and pans. Was very cold. Didn’t ruin experience though!

Great facilities with two portaloos and a washing up sink outside, as well as a little building with two toilets, two showers, hand washing sinks, and dish washing sinks!

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).
