What customers say
This campsite offers stunning Peak District views and a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful owner, Stephanie, as well as the clean and well-maintained facilities, particularly the showers. Its location is ideal for walks to Castleton and Mam Tor. While generally well-regarded, some reviews mention a need for more toilets during busy periods and occasional noise from other campers.

Liked really emptied out on Sunday, and we had almost the whole site to ourselves which was nice. beautiful views and close by to toll bar fish and chips which was excellent!
Disliked unfortunately due to storm floris our tent was ripped to pieces when we came back from a day out - no fault of the campsites though! we packed up sharpish and headed for home a day early.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Booked for 2 nights, absolutely lovely spot, plenty of room for camping. Toilet blocks and showers very clean. The owner was very friendly and prided her business by looking after everything, from cleaning the toilets, replenishing toilet roll and checking everything was ok always was onsite for a chat, just a lovely person. I really enjoyed my stay with my partner and Jack russell. I will definitely returning.
Disliked Nothing at all

Badly managed campsite.
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked The views are nice and location is good.
Disliked Over crammed field.
No set boundaries for the pitch, which means its a free for all and very limited space.
One pitch had 9 tents and 4 cars!
People smoking weed in the evening.
Not enough facilities for the amount of people.
Camping rules are not followed, with dogs off the lead.
Has the potential to be a nice campsite, but due to the above, we wouldn't return.

Clean facilities, nice host.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Well maintained field, toilet/shower block great, wash up facilities great and well looked after, regularly cleaned. Port a loos on field where stocked with tissue paper and we saw these get professionally cleaned on sunday. We hired a fire pit and bought a log bag reasonably priced. The host was lovely, spoke with her a few times. She was there morning noon and night! It was really busy but we had no problems with other guests. Probably the only thing would be more showers!
Lovely weekend and we would definitely return.

Lovely place and I would definitely visit again.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Fantastic spot and great views. Great location for walks to Castleton and the surrounding areas. Car was not required until we left.
Amenities were very good for a campsite, including hot water for washing up!
Clean and well stocked. The owner was constantly making sure everything was clean and tidy.
She was also very friendly and helpful.
The campsite has only been open for two years and Stephanie is doing a great job 👍
Disliked Shame about the group of 9 who decided to take advantage and were disrespectful of the owner and visitors.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The space was well organised and a very peaceful. Toilets were clean and showers were warm. Great for if your travelling and need somewhere that allows later registration times.
Disliked Not so much as disliked, but having a hook on the toilet door would be great for thoes wet days when you need to hang up your coat and go to the loo. Also prehaps popping a mop and bucket near the showers so people can give it a quick clean up after themselves from the cut grass/mud.
