What customers say

This campsite offers stunning views and a peaceful location, ideal for exploring the Peak District with a nearby pub and walks. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, with positive comments on the shower and toilet blocks, and the addition of new facilities. Hosts are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. Some guests noted that the site can become crowded during peak times, leading to queues for facilities, though improvements are being made.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked This campsite is just brilliant just right in the countryside perfect for walking and great for couples and families. The campsite it sell has Toilets and 2 very good showers and washing up area. The owners are very friendly and even you can hire out fire pit and logs and farm animals on your doorstep. Would definitely recommend and will return next year thank you for a great weekend.

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).
